Patent number: 7085649Abstract: Electronic organiser (10) with a calendar (11) in which appointments at least according to date, time and an individual description, for example a person to be visited, are variable. If the organiser (10) is provided with an interface (22) which can exchange data in respect of the appointments with an interface (22) existing on another device (21), the data recorded in the calendar (11) can be used to run the other device or the electronic organiser (10) can be controlled by the other device. Thus for example data recorded in the calendar (11) can be used by a navigation system for faster input of the destination, or for example departure appointments can be changed by the other device according to the traffic or other situations.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2001Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones, Ltd.Inventors: Reinhold Baur, Tero Valtonen, Turkka Keinonen, Anne Koppinen, Anne Kirjavainen, Maximiliano Roque-Cerna, Karsten Lehn, Markus Pazina, Wofgang Theimer, Klaus Kespohl, Peter Buth, Cordula Conrady, Stephan Rastuttis, Thomas Fuhrmann, Minna Asikainen

Patent number: 7019832Abstract: An optical spectrometer comprises at least two coupling apertures with different mode field diameters, a means for dispersing the light beams exiting each of the coupling apertures along a dispersion axis and at least two decoupling apertures on which the dispersed light beams are imaged and whose mode field diameters each correspond to the mode field diameters of the associated coupling apertures. Due the enlarged mode field diameter, a larger spectral fraction of dispersed light beams, i.e., light of a larger spectral bandwidth, can be coupled into the decoupling aperture than into the decoupling aperture.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2003Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Acterna Eningen GmbHInventors: Thomas Fuhrmann, Wolfgang Schmid, Michael Pahlke

Patent number: 6690468Abstract: An optical spectrum analyzer of novel design, in which several different spectra can be measured and analyzed simultaneously. A measuring signal is used as a reference signal for calibrating the optical spectrum analyzer. The light rays are admitted via a coupling device with several coupling apertures arranged in a line; and via a separate decoupling device comprising respective decoupling apertures arranged in a line, the light rays are decoupled. Height offset is realized by a 90° deviation prism. The arrangement makes possible simultaneous analysis of several optical lines with little retroreflection as well as uninterrupted calibration of the measuring process.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2000Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: Wavetek Wandel Goltermann Eningen GmbH & Co.Inventors: Karl Benzel, Thomas Fuhrmann, Andreas Conzelmann, Eberhard Loecklin
