Patent number: 8526771Abstract: An optical interconnect includes a set of splitters. Each splitter includes a source waveguide, a reflection waveguide, an output waveguide, and a partially reflective mirror element with a reflective coating. The source waveguide and the reflection waveguide are optically coupled to the partially reflective element. A photonic signal from the source waveguide is partially reflected off the reflective coating as a reflected signal into the reflection waveguide. The output waveguide is optically coupled to the opposite surface and configured such that a non-reflected portion of the photonic signal propagates into the output waveguide. The reflective coating includes a reflected surface area interfacing with the photonic signal form the source waveguide, and power of the non-reflected portion is a function of the reflective surface area interfacing with source waveguide.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2008Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Neal Meyer, Robert Newton Bicknell, Pavel Kornilovich

Patent number: 5940491Abstract: Apparatus and method for controlling establishment of telecommunications call connections in a telecommunications network. The network comprises a plurality of switches each with its own switching processor means, and a plurality of switching processing platforms each comprising at least one call processor. The switches and switching processing platforms are interconnected by a data network. SS7 signaling messages are received in one of the platforms and a call is assigned to a call processor. The call processor communicates with one or more switching processor means for controlling establishment of the call. Call features are processed under the control of the call processor. Advantageously, any call processor can be used for serving any call in the network and can control all legs of a multi-leg connection. Advantageously, in a large network, the number of platforms may be significantly less than the number of switches which reduces the cost and complexity of administration of the network.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 1996Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Thomas Wayne Anderson, Alan Eugene Frey, Michael Neal Meyers

Patent number: 5937494Abstract: A double-sided electrical interconnect flexible circuit particularly useful for ink-jet pens and a method for assembling an ink-jet pen with the flexible circuit is described. A wide web, dielectric, flexible tape, such as of a polyimide material, is used to allow the substantially simultaneous formation of redundant flexible circuits across the web. The web is laminated with a conductive material foil and a plurality of redundant circuit patterns formed on the web in a single masking and etching process, or the like. A cover layer, also of a wide web format, dielectric material is coated over the circuit patterned conductive layer. Vias are provided in both the tape under layer and the tape over layer for appropriate electrical connections whereby a first device, such as an ink-jet printer controller, can be connected through one layer and a second device, such as a replaceable ink-jet pen's electrically active components can be connected through the other layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1996Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Neal Meyer, Byron K.
