A digital code rate generator comprises a digital number generator driven by a clock running at an appropriate frequency. Preferably the digital number generator is arranged to simultaneously generate digital representations for a plurality of different numbers. These different digital representations are provided to a selector which passes one of said digital representations to an accumulator. The accumulator continually sums the digital representations provided to it by the selector. An output of the accumulator is connected to an overflow detector which is distinctively operated when the sum of the digital representations provided to the accumulator exceeds the capacity of the accumulator. By selecting the frequency of the clock and the particular digital representation which passes the selector, the rate of operation of the overflow detector can be controlled. The output of the overflow detector thus comprises any one of a number of selectable digitally generated code rates.In another embodiment of the invention the output of the overflow detector is connected to an NAND gate whose other input is provided by the output of a divider, whose input is connected to the clock. The divider is so arranged that its output constitutes the signal carrier in a signaling system. The output of the NAND gate thus comprises a coded carrier which is turned on and off at the code rate generated by the digital code rate generator.

An accelerometer includes a proof mass and a frame that are formed in a handle layer of a silicon-on-an-insulator (SOI). The proof mass is separated from the frame by a back-side trench that defines a boundary of the proof mass. The accelerometer also includes a reflector coupled to a top surface of the proof mass. An optical detector is located above the reflector at the device side. The accelerometer further includes at least one suspension spring. The suspension spring has a handle anchor that extends downwards from the device side to the handle layer to mechanically support upward and downward movement of the proof mass relative to a top surface of the proof mass.
摘要:
A wavelength-selective optical switch for switching arbitrary wavelengths between optical fibers in mesh networks, using interference filters for separating optical wavelengths, and two-dimensional arrays of micromirrors for switching. Broadband switch inputs and outputs are provided for adding and dropping arbitrary wavelengths at each node of the network. A two-stage multiplexer and two-stage demultiplexer are provided to simplify the free-space demultiplexer and multiplexer. Mechanisms are provided that allows full non-blocking functionality in the presence of finite yield of the micromirror arrays.

Techniques to adapt an interpretive runtime engine to multiple clients are described. An apparatus may comprise a logic device arranged to execute a web client. The web client may comprise, among other elements, a client adapter operative to detect a user event for a client user interface, send changes to user event properties associated with the user event to a server application, receive a graphical user interface (GUI) independent object and updated user event properties from the server application, and update a rendered image in the client user interface using the GUI independent object and updated user event properties received from the server application. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A method of predicting sensor performance, such as focal plane array (FPA) behind optics casting an image based on radiant energy received from a target such as a star, planet, other celestial body, event, mass, artificial body, or the like. A user may select artificial, natural, or both types of bodies, and a dynamics module provides relative motion trajectories in space. Radiance proceeding from a target toward a sensor is modified by effects of bodies and the environment, considering any arbitrary selection of bodies and sensors, radiance effects, and relative motions therebetween, whether terrestrial or intergalactic in scale, location, or observation point. Thus, corrections and calibrations may improve images, factoring out cluttering effects of the environment and other bodies.
摘要:
A method of detecting a signal in an input channel of a receiver includes applying each of a plurality of pre-detection bandwidths to an input signal. The method can include deriving, in a cascaded fashion, a plurality of pre-detection bandwidths for the input channel, and determining a temporal and spectral extent of pulsed energy in each of the plurality of pre-detection bandwidths. The derivation of the pre-detection bandwidths for the input channel can be performed by dividing the input channel into a sequence of smaller bandwidth sub-channels, so that the number of sub-channels is determined by how much bandwidth and pulse width range is able to be covered by a single detector.
