    Abstract: Method and apparatus embody a rotation sensor including one or more ring lasers designed to utilize a nonlinear Sagnac effect, a passive waveguide arrangement, and a photodetector arrangement to receive the outcoupled light and to detect rotation of the sensor; wherein these components are arranged into a monolithically integrated optoelectronic integrated circuit on a single substrate. The method and apparatus can include seeding a stable, rotation -insensitive, strong (driving) wave using a single-frequency edge emitting laser monolithically integrated on the same substrate.

    Abstract: In various embodiments, systems and methods can be structured to provide efficient active bidirectional mode-locked lasers, which can be used as intracavity phase interferometer (IPI) sensors. Stable bidirectional mode-locking can be achieved by a combination of a passive mechanism, a passively driven active mechanism, and a beat note detection system. Such systems can be used in guidance, navigation, and control systems, where attitude control of a vehicle relies on accurate measurements of its position and motion. In various embodiments, a detection system can be based on an all fiber intracavity phase interferometer (IPI) active laser capable of delivering accurate simultaneous measurements of all three degrees of rotation and position in a single, compact, cost effective unit. A variation of the same system can include a linear cavity laser for accurate measurements of acceleration without the use of any inertial masses. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

    Abstract: Composite orthopedic devices that facilitate spine stabilization, such as: bone screws, rods, plates, interbodies, and corpectomy cages are disclosed. They are designed to provide both strength and load carrying capabilities, while increasing bio-integration of the devices with the surrounding bone tissue. They are constructed of composite layers of allograft and/or autograft bone and a structural material, such as titanium alloy or carbon/graphite fiber composite. Cannulations within the device are loaded with a mixture of stem cells, particles of allograft and/or autograft bone, and bone growth factors, such as BMP-2. The cannulations are connected to the surface of the device via multiple fenestrations that provide pathways to supply the bone/stem cell mixture to the surface, allowing living bone tissue to grow and insure bio-integration. The devices can also have radiofrequency (RF) stimulation implantation within the structure of the implanted device, capable of responding to external RF stimulation of enhanced bone growth.
