20090303489Surface Plasmons - The generation of surface plasmons on a metal layer arranged upon an outer surface of an optical waveguide, using light reflected from inside the optical waveguide. The reflected light may be a reflected part of guided light travelling along the optical waveguide and may be a back-reflected (e.g. obliquely back-reflected) part of the guided light. The reflected part of guided light may form a radiative optical mode(s) which is used to excite surface plasmons and which is also coupled to the remaining guided mode(s) of the light from which it derives. This coupling of the radiation mode(s) and the guided mode(s) enables changes in the radiation mode(s) to cause consequential changes in the guided mode(s) of light. Such changes in the radiation mode(s) may occur due to the coupling of the reflected mode(s) to the surface plasmons they excite at the metal layer.12-10-2009
20110116094Method of Producing a Surface Plasmon Generator, a Surface Plasmon Generator and a Sensor Incorporating the Surface Plasmon Generator - Surface plasmon generation on a metal or semiconductor layer at an outer surface of an optical waveguide, using light reflected or scattered from inside the optical waveguide. One aspect provides a main optical waveguide (05-19-2011

20090201503Torsion Sensor - A torsion sensor using an optical waveguide in optical communication with a diffraction grating, preferably a tilted grating, and most preferably a tilted Bragg grating, which provides the optical waveguide and grating with a torsion-dependent collective optical transmission spectrum. Changes in the collective optical transmission spectrum of the waveguide and grating, induced by changes in the amount of torsion applied to the waveguide, may be detected by detecting a corresponding change in the intensity of optical radiation transmitted through the grating from a controlled optical source. The degree of change in the collective optical transmission spectrum is dependent upon the degree of torsion (twist) applied to the optical waveguide. Measuring the magnitude and/or sense (i.e. increase/decrease) in the intensity of optical radiation transmitted through the grating from an optical source enables torsion to be sensed.08-13-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110316359BISTABLE LINEAR MOTOR - A linear motor or generator includes a cylinder having left, center, and right magnetic portions interposed with left and right magnetic gaps, a left and a right induction coil axially wound around a longitudinal axis of the cylinder, and a flux bridge that magnetically couples the center magnetic portion to the left and right magnetic portions. The motor or generator also includes a flux modulating piston comprising a soft magnetic material for increasing magnetic flux circulation in the left flux path when the piston overlaps with the left magnetic gap and for increasing magnetic flux circulation in the right flux path when the piston overlaps with the right magnetic gap. The left and right magnetic portions of the cylinder may be made of a soft magnetic material that promotes magnetic flux.12-29-2011
