  • Patent number: 8789704
    Abstract: A shipping container convertible into a display container comprises a top wall, a bottom wall, and opposed side walls foldably joined to the top and bottom walls to form an interior space. A tear away window panel is formed on one of the side walls. The tear away window panel includes width and height defined by a perforated line of weakness extending across the width and on a portion of height of the side walls. A displayable insert tray is configured to be disposed into the interior space of the container to receive products and concealed therein when the container is in a shipping position. The displayable insert tray includes a bottom panel and at least one feeder ledge foldably joined to the bottom panel wherein upon removing the tear away window panel and pulling away the feeder ledge, the container is converted to a display position to expose the products.

  • Patent number: 6999659
    Abstract: The invention describes a transmission component for producing chromatic dispersion which can be predetermined, having a glass fiber optical waveguide in which it is possible to carry not only the LP01 fundamental mode but also at least one LPmn mode, and two pairs of Bragg gratings (gratings 1 and 2, as well as 3 and 4), of which at least one pair has chirped Bragg gratings, in which the first Bragg grating in each pair reflects the arriving light beam back to the other Bragg grating in a direction approximately opposite the incidence direction, and from which other Bragg grating the light beam emerges in, or at least parallel to, the original incidence direction.

  • Patent number: 6559986
    Abstract: Useful signals in the baseband or else in an intermediate frequency band are impressed on a plurality of laser diodes or other suitable optical sources having different emission wavelengths, and the wavelength channels thus formed are brought together. An external modulator with a high cutoff frequency is inserted into this wavelength multiplex system and is driven at the desired microwave or millimetric wave subcarrier frequency or a subharmonic thereof, with the result that the modulation of all the wavelength channels is converted upward. The individual wavelength channels are decoupled in a wavelength-selective fashion to arbitrary photodiodes or other direct receivers that supply the selected useful signal modulated onto the subcarrier.
