Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, an improved method is provided for synchronizing a pulse stream with a data stream in an optical communications system. The improved method includes: generating an optical data signal for transmission through the optical communication system, where the data stream exhibits a duty cycle less than fifty percent and the optical data signal is formed from the pulse stream and the data stream; detecting an optical power level associated with the optical data signal; and synchronizing the pulse stream with the data stream based on the optical power level associated with the optical data signal. Specifically, the pulse stream is temporally aligned with the data stream when the average power of the optical data signal is maximized.

Abstract: A system and method for calculating and storing the location of objects. The system includes a computing device, a global positioning system (GPS) receiver in communication with the computing device, and a range finder in communication with the computing device. The GPS receiver obtains a latitude location and a longitude location of a first position and stores them in the computing device. Next, the GPS receiver obtains a latitude location and a longitude location of a second position and stores them in the computing device. A range finder is then used to locate a distance from the second position to a third position, which is stored in the computing device. The third position is the position of the object for which a location reading is sought. To calculate the latitude and longitude location of the third position, the computing device calculates an azimuth for the third position using the first and second position locations stored in the computing device. Next, the computing device calculates the latitude location and the longitude location of the third position using the latitude location and longitude location of the second position, the distance from the second position to the third position, and the previously calculated azimuth.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for measuring a phase fraction of a flow stream are disclosed. An infrared phase fraction meter includes a light source for emitting into a flow stream infrared radiation that includes first and second wavelength bands. The first wavelength band substantially transmits through first and second phases of the flow stream and is substantially absorbed by a third phase. In contrast, the second wavelength band is substantially absorbed by the second phase relative to the first and third phases. One or more detectors simultaneously detect attenuation of the first and second wavelength bands upon the infrared radiation passing through at least a portion of the flow stream, and a phase fraction of the second phase is determined based on the attenuation. As an example, the first, second and third phases are gas, water and oil, respectively, produced from a well.

Abstract: An automatic optical power management system for use with an optical communications system includes a light source residing in a first circuit pack and adapted to emit light at a nominal power level only absent receipt of an indicator signifying a loss of signal resulting from a fiber discontinuity relating to the first optical fiber, wherein the nominal power level is of sufficient magnitude to violate laser safety guidelines in the event of the fiber discontinuity. A redundant detection system includes a first optical detector residing in the first circuit pack, and a second optical detector residing in a second circuit pack that is optically adjacent to the first circuit. A redundant response system communicates an indicator signifying loss of signal from the first and second optical detectors to the light source upon detection of loss of signal by either detector.
