US Patent:

6510467, Jan 21, 2003

Filed:

Jan 6, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/225594

Inventors:

Alex A. Behfar - Poughquag NY
Richard L. Ehrlickman - Pomona NY
Muhammed I. Hussain - Hopewell Junction NY

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 15173

US Classification:

709233, 709239

Abstract:

A method for increasing the rate of transfer of web page data files having embedded data files between users of an Internet service and an Internet server. The method is implemented from a set of instructions read by a computer from a diskette. The executed method assigns a first communication channel of the computer to transfer a first data file between the server and the user. The data file is checked for the identity of embedded files, and the identity and address of the embedded files are stored in a table. The embedded files are thereafter transferred through the first communication channel and a second communication channel following transfer of the first data file. In the event that a data transfer of a file becomes stalled, an additional channel is assigned to simultaneously transfer the stalled file with the channel carrying the stalled file.

International Classification:

H01L 21469

US Classification:

438780, 438948, 438949, 438950

Abstract:

Three-dimensional structures of arbitrary shape are fabricated on the surface of a substrate through a series of processing steps wherein a monolithic structure is fabricated in successive layers. A first layer of photoresist material is spun onto a substrate surface and is exposed in a desired pattern corresponding to the shape of a final structure, at a corresponding cross-sectional level in the structure. The layer is not developed after exposure; instead, a second layer of photoresist material is deposited and is also exposed in a desired pattern. Subsequent layers are spun onto the top surface of prior layers and exposed, and upon completion of the succession of layers each defining corresponding levels of the desired structure, the layers are all developed at the same time leaving the three-dimensional structure.

Inventors:

Alex Behfar - Ithaca NY

Assignee:

BinOptics, Inc. - Ithaca NY

International Classification:

H01S 3083

US Classification:

372 94, 372 92

Abstract:

A ring-type laser including a traveling wave cavity which incorporates at least first and second straight cavity sections and at least one curved cavity section. Corresponding first ends of the straight cavity sections are interconnected at a first light-emitting facet, and second ends of the straight sections are interconnected by the curved waveguide. Additional curved and straight sections can be linked to provide various ring configurations.

Alex A. Behfar - Ithaca NY, US

Assignee:

Binoptics Corp. - Ithaca NY

International Classification:

G02F 1/35
G02F 1/365

US Classification:

359326, 359332

Abstract:

A ring cavity laser has at least two facets and a mechanism is provided to produce unidirectional propagation and light emission at a first wavelength. A source of laser light at a second wavelength is injected into the cavity to reverse the direction of propagation and to produce emission at the second wavelength.

Assignee:

BinOptics Corporation - Ithaca NY

International Classification:

H01S 5/00

US Classification:

372 501, 372 5023

Abstract:

A surface-emitting laser, in which light is emitted vertically at one end from a near 45-angled facet, includes a second end having a perpendicular facet from which light is emitted horizontally, for monitoring. The surface-emitting laser comprises a divergence-compensating lens on the surface above the near 45-angled facet.
