摘要： An underwater telecommunications system has a first underwater cable for carrying data traffic, one or more underwater repeaters, and an underwater power network for supplying power to the repeaters. By providing a separate cable for some or all of the power supply, the power route may be made shorter, thus more power can be delivered, therefore more repeaters can be used, which enables more fiber pairs to be laid, and thus the capacity to be increased.

摘要： A partial optical regenerator for use in high bit-rate optical systems and useful in WDM applications employing soliton transmission. The regenerator essentially comprises a saturable optical element in a main optical path and a resonant optical circuit coupled to the element. A resonant pulse can be generated from an input data pulse in a number of ways. (A) an input data pulse may be coupled directly to the resonant optical circuit before entering the element; (B) the input data pulse may first saturate the element, resulting in the creation of a counter-propagating pulse; (C) the data pulse may pass through the element and be coupled to the resonant optical circuit upon exit. The resonant pulse travels around the resonant circuit and repeatedly returns to the saturable optical element after an integer multiple of the symbol duration or after an odd integer multiple of half the symbol duration. Successive saturation of the element causes the output data pulses to be better aligned with respect to the center of the symbol interval.

摘要： A method and a system for displaying images are provided. In the method, a pixel is provided that includes a layer of ferroelectric material and a layer of liquid crystal material. A first electric field is momentarily applied to the pixel to electrically polarize the ferroelectric layer to a first polarization. The first polarization is then used to maintain the liquid crystal material in a first orientation corresponding to a first apparent brightness of the pixel.

摘要： The pen input device has both a movement detection system and a position detection system that collectively track the position of the pen input device during a writing operation on a writing surface. The pen input device has a writing tip capable of performing a writing operation in contact with the writing surface. A controller is operable to activate the movement detection system continuously during the writing operation and to activate the position detection system intermittently during the writing operation. The movement detection system is operable to determine movement data that represent changes between successive positions of the writing tip. The position detection system is operable to determine position data that represents a position of the writing tip on the writing surface.

摘要： A method of reading an assay includes illuminating a substrate. The substrate includes a sensitive region. The method also includes detecting whether the substrate was exposed to an analyte of interest. The detecting includes using low resolution detection and a priori data about the sensitive region to determine whether a characteristic of a first portion of the illumination returned from the sensitive region differs from a characteristic of a second portion of the illumination returned from the substrate outside the sensitive region.
