TL;DR: In this article, a general formulation of the topographic torque is proposed with the help of a development in spherical harmonics of the pressure and shape, and various implications of this coupling mechanism are discussed according to the symmetry properties of the dynamic pressure field at the core surface and the distribution of topographical deviations of the core mantle boundary inferred from seismology.

05 Feb 1990TL;DR: An optical interconnection network comprises an optical bus (60) formed by a D-fibre (62) embedded in a thermoplastic substrate (64) with the flat of the D-bibre flush with the top surface of the substrate as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: An optical interconnection network comprises an optical bus (60) formed by a D-fibre (62) embedded in a thermoplastic substrate (64) with the flat of the D-fibre (62) flush with the top surface of the substrate. A module (70) similarly constructed is dimensioned to be a push fit in a wall structure (65) formed on the substrate (64) with the fibres (72) and (62) in a position to evanescently couple optical signals from one fibre to the other.

22 Jun 1990TL;DR: In this paper, a method for increasing the optical measurement range in optical time domain reflectometers in which a fibre laser amplifier is used to amplify the optical time-domain reflectometer pulses launched into a waveguide is presented.
Abstract: Apparatus and a method for increasing the optical measurement range in optical time domain reflectometers in which a fibre laser amplifier is used to amplify the optical time domain reflectometer pulses launched into a waveguide. This apparatus and method have particular usefulness for branched local networks. The signal returning to the optical time domain reflectometer is amplified as well as the outbound signal.
