  • Patent number: 6173105
    Abstract: An optical attenuator for use in optical power regulation uses a shutter to control the insertion loss of a gap in a pair of substantially coaxially aligned waveguides, for example a pair of optical fibers. The shutter is part of a MEMS accuator device and is coupled to the movable one of a pair of spaced plates, the movable plate being movable by a voltage applied between the pair of plates. To regulate the power, a small portion of the optical power is abstracted and used to derive a control voltage that is applied to the optical attenuator for varying the attenuation inserted in the optical wave path.

  • Patent number: 5683769
    Abstract: A decorative gift article includes a plurality of gift items and a support of a predetermined countenance that is used for presenting the gift items. A pouch accommodates the gift items and is connected to a bottom side of the support. An elongated element, especially a relatively narrow decorative ribbon, having a central portion secured to the bottom side of the support and two free end portions of substantially equal length integral with the central portion is used for establishing the connection between the pouch and the support in that its end portions are tied in a knot about a substantially central portion of the pouch. The gift items fill the pouch less then completely so that the tying of the free end portions of the elongated element around the central portion of the pouch results in the formation of a constriction at such location.
