  • Publication number: 20020176442
    Abstract: Two intelligent nodes are provided with the capability of negotiating a protocol between them so that if the intelligent nodes operate at two different protocols then they can select a protocol appropriate for their communication. Furthermore, the intelligent nodes are provided with a locking shift capability so as to select between codesets that are available within a selected protocol.

  • Patent number: 6244753
    Abstract: An instrument that analyzes chemical properties of a specimen includes a probe that is used in place on the specimen for spectroscopic analysis. The probe has a probe body with a proximal end and a distal end, and a first optical fiber extends from the proximal to the distal ends. A temperature sensor is included in the probe body and is used so insure that the probe does not exceed a rated temperature limit or to monitor specimen temperature while, simultaneously, chemical composition information of the specimen is transmitted by the optical fiber. The probe can be inserted into a container holding the specimen and can yield both temperature and chemical composition information. The probe includes a plurality of metal coated fibers with the distal ends of the fibers positioned inside a bore in the probe. Braze material is placed on the probe near the bore and the braze material is then brazed to the metal coating on the ends of the fiber.

  • Patent number: 6008488
    Abstract: An analyzer for analyzing chemical properties of a specimen using optical coupling and sensing, has a narrow band light source and an optical probe that is in contact with the specimen. Detectors are used for providing electrical outputs as a function of a parameter of the specimen, and an optical path couples light from the light source to the probe and also couples Raman scattered light from the specimen and Rayleigh scattered light from the specimen to separate detectors. An analyzer circuit is coupled to the detectors to provide outputs as a function of the electrical signals received, and one of the detectors is connected to a signal conditioning circuit for controlling the input of the light source and includes an asymmetric discrimination circuit configured to distinguish positive going fluctuations from negative going fluctuations in the output from the detector.

  • Patent number: 5963319
    Abstract: An instrument that analyzes chemical properties of a specimen using optical sensing provides a laser source with an optical fiber channel that carries light from the source to a probe. The probe has a receiving optical fiber and has an emitting optical fiber that carries Raman-scattered light from the specimen. The emitting optical fiber has a metal buffer layer. A spectral detector receives light from the receiving optical fiber in the probe. A filter module includes a filter that transmits the wavelength of the laser source but blocks wavelengths longer than the source between the source and the emitting optical fiber or the probe. The filter module is coupled to the probe by a linking optical fiber.

  • Patent number: 5950125
    Abstract: Improved communication service methods operate in conjunction with a wireless communications network that includes a plurality of cells, microcells, and/or picocells. A user zone is defined as including one or more cells, microcells, picocells, and/or one or more cell, microcell, and/or picocell sectors. A first set of communication features are provided within the user zone, and a second set of communication features are provided outside the user zone. According to an embodiment disclosed herein, a mobile telephone switching office (MTSO), coupled to the user zone, stores a user zone profile identifying the cells, picocells, microcells, picocell sectors, microcell sectors, and cell sectors included in the user zone. The MTSO selectively modifies a service profile for a cellular telephone if (I) that cellular telephone is situated within the user zone, and optionally (ii) that cellular telephone is authorized for that user zone.
