Abstract: A vehicle comprising a keyless go system, and at least one key fob, said keyless go system being operatively connected to a locking/unlocking subsystem and an engine start subsystem, said vehicle further comprising at least one LF transmitter, at least one LF receiver, at least one HF transmitter and at least one HF receiver, said vehicle further comprising an aftermarket keyless go system interfacing with said keyless go system, wherein at least one of said at least one key fob is embedded into said vehicle, and wherein when a user sends a lock/unlock command, or a start command with a portable device, said aftermarket keyless go system interacts with said embedded key fob to selectively enable and disable low frequency communication between said embedded key fob and said keyless go system.

Abstract: An optical switch and router configuration employing at least one material having radiation induced color centers to produce a change in the reflective index of the material. The material will reflect an input optical signal when the material is illuminated by a control optical signal source and the color centers are induced. An erase beam can be used to remove the color centers, therefore returning the material to a transmittive state such that an input optical signal can be transmitted through it, or the color centers can be allowed to dissipate after their naturally short lifetime.

Abstract: In the method for on-substrate cleaving of a sol-gel waveguide, a sol-gel buffer layer is produced on a substrate, and a first portion of the sol-gel buffer layer is masked. The second portion of the sol-gel buffer layer is exposed to UV light to make this second buffer layer portion resistant to a given solvent. A sol-gel guide layer is produced on the sol-gel buffer layer after exposure of that second buffer layer portion to UV light. Then the sol-gel guide layer is covered with a mask having an elongated slit opening presenting the general configuration of the waveguide. This elongated slit opening crosses an intersection between the first and second buffer layer portions. The masked sol-gel guide layer is exposed to UV light to form the waveguide in the sol-gel guide layer, exposure to UV light rendering the waveguide resistant to the given solvent.

Abstract: Low signal attenuation optical fibers and methods for making such fibers mimimize the internal and interface defects while providing high throughput by radial deposition of successive particulate layers about a small diameter start element and co-vitrification of the layers followed by drawing to the small final diameter that is desired. Radial vapor deposition of an interface layer on the start element, followed by an encompassing core and then a cladding provides boundaries that form transitional continuums after the structure has been vitrified. The start element remains as part of the core but is so small as to have no discernible effect on light propagation, and the number of interfaces in the light propagating portion is limited by maintaining the ratio of the cladding thickness to the core radius to less than 1.5 in the initial preform. By drawing this preform to form separate rods, additional cladding is applied to form a fiber preform from which optical fibers may be drawn.
