Article comprising a wavelength selective add-drop multiplexer
TLDR
In this paper, a wavelength selective add-and-drop multiplexer is described for adding and/or dropping spectral components from a wavelength-division-multiplexed optical signal.Abstract:
A wavelength-selective add-drop multiplexer is disclosed for adding and/or dropping spectral components from a wavelength-division-multiplexed optical signal. (1x1) or (2x2) optical switches are used, either alone or in conjunction with other optical elements, to separate spectral components identified for drop from other spectral components.read more

Patent
Anonymous transaction system
TL;DR: An Anonymous Transaction Service (ATS) as mentioned in this paper provides anonymous, automated, risk-based differential pricing that allows consumers to receive offers from multiple suppliers with only a single credit report and facilitates any offer between a supplier and consumer that first requires an evaluation of the risk associated with making the offer.

Patent
Tracking transactions by using addresses in a communications network
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose an integrated order mechanism (IOM) that facilitates the processing of transactions by processing requests from both the customer and the merchant, so that neither the customer nor the merchant may be aware that the transactions are being handled by the IOM.

Efficient electromechanical optical switches
TL;DR: In this article, a planar reflector which is aligned to reflect one of a pair of signals crossing between two collimating lenses can also reflect the other crossing signal, thereby providing highly efficient multiple signal switching.
