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: A method and apparatus for alerting a user of the status of an appliance includes a controller that is coupled to a telephone network and a keypad to permit the entry of a numeric sequence and to communicate the numeric sequence to the controller. The keypad is coupled to the control circuit of the appliance to determine whether the appliance has commenced a requested task, to determine if the requested task has been completed, and to provide the numeric sequence to the controller in response to determination that the requested task has been completed. The controller initiates a call over the telephone network based upon the numeric sequence to provide notification of the completion of the requested tasks by the appliance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for reducing imaging artifacts in physiological images, such as magnetic resonance imaging images. A model of a physical cause for the image artifact is modelled and the effects of perturbing this model on a focus criterion of the image analyzed so as to optimize the focus criterion. For an optimized focus criterion, the model should reflect the actual physical cause of the image artifact. A focus criterion is a measure of entropy of the image, with an optimized image having reduced entropy.
