| 7822350 | Reconstruction and restoration of two polarization components of an optical signal field Digital compensation of the polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) effects experienced by an optical signal in a transmission link is achieved. A digital representation of the optical fields of two orthogonal polarization components of an optical signal, defined by a po... | 10/26/2010 |
| 7689073 | 1×N wavelength selective switch A device employing at least one wavelength sieve/combiner that operates on discrete wavelength units and is optically interposed between an array of fibers and an array of micro mirrors which may be configured to act as in a multiplexing mode, a demultiplexing mode,... | 03/30/2010 |
| 7646881 | Watermarking scheme for digital video Data to be impressed upon the average value of a chrominance portion of a block, is replicated at least once. The original and each replica is impressed on blocks in the same block position of separate frames. The frames that have like-positioned blocks that are car... | 01/12/2010 |
| 7630509 | Color selection scheme for digital video watermarking Determining a chrominance portion to be watermarked employs a perception-based table that indicates for various pixel values which of the chrominance portions, if any, should be selected for watermarking. Only the Y, U, and V values of a pixel are needed to access t... | 12/08/2009 |
| 7628041 | Carbon particle fiber assembly technique Carbon particles, such as, carbon fibrils and carbon nanotube molecules, are assembled into aligned fibers using processes derived from the processes used to manufacture optical fiber. More particularly, the carbon particles are embedded in glass, which is then draw... | 12/08/2009 |
| 7076015 | Preamble detector for a CDMA receiver A method is provided of detecting one of a set of preamble sequences in a spread signal. The method includes: (a) correlating the received spread signal with sequences of a first orthogonal Gold code (OGC) set in accordance with a first fast transform to provide a p... | 07/11/2006 |
| 6958668 | Active inductor An active inductor with a smaller voltage drop with respect to the power supply voltage of an integrated circuit can be realized by an active inductor which is biased from a voltage higher than the power supply voltage, the higher voltage being generatable on the in... | 10/25/2005 |
| 6882770 | Imaging technique for use with optical MEMS devices An optical MEMS devices is imaged to a different location at which a second optical MEMS device is located in a manner that effectively combines the tilt angles of at least one micro mirror of each of the first and second optical devices. The imaging system may repr... | 04/19/2005 |
| 6763073 | Wireless communications system having a space-time architecture employing multi-element antennas at both the transmitter and receiver The bit rate at which a digital wireless communications system communicates data in scattering environments may be significantly increased by using multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver and by decomposing the channel into m subchannels. In the same ... | 07/13/2004 |
| 5933637 | Method and apparatus for configuring computer programs from available subprograms A graphic program configuration system is described that allows a user to create complete computer programs. In particular, the present invention improves on the prior art by providing a system and process that permits a subprogram to have an arbitrary nu... | 08/03/1999 |
| 5563933 | Method and apparatus for facilitating the completing of telephone regional toll-free calls from outside the region Calls to geographically limited toll-free telephone numbers, when originated from outside the predefined geographic region, are completed, but not at the called party's expense, by a) indicating to the caller that the telephone call, which otherwise will ... | 10/08/1996 |
| 5151784 | Multiple frame motion estimation The invention relates to developing a signal to represent each block of an image contained in a frame being interpolated in a motion interpolated system such that the error between the frame being interpolated and the reference frames is minimized without... | 09/29/1992 |
