摘要:
A communication system processing element comprises a processor coupled to a memory and implements an endpoint of the system. The endpoint includes a session initiation protocol (SIP) component and a web services component. The SIP component is configured for communication via SIP signaling with one or more other endpoints of the system. The web services component is configured for interfacing the SIP component to one or more communication service applications of the system.
摘要:
A polymer blend is prepared by dissolving chitosan and a second polymer in an acidic aqueous solution to form an aqueous polymer blend, dehydrating said aqueous polymer blend, and recovering said polymer blend. The second polymer may be selected from the group consisting of polyether glycols including polyethylene glycols; cellulose esters including cellulose acetate; poloxamers; polysaccharides including dextran and guar; polyvinylpyrrolidones; polyvinyl alcohols; and mixtures or copolymers thereof. These polymer blends swell in an acidic environment and deswell in a more neutral or basic environment. This technology is valuable for the dispensing of biologically active material or drugs into a surrounding environment, especially the environment as is found in the gastrointestinal tract. Since the various polymer blends of the present invention are not covalently or ionically crosslinked, but are physically combined, each polymer in the physical blend maintains its original chemical structure, and therefore, is safe for oral administration.

摘要:
A polarization splitter and combiner for processing a beam containing a first polarization and a second polarization to spatially separate these polarizations by using a birefringent element for receiving the beam and walking off the first polarization from the second polarization by an initial walk-off distance. A first lensing element with an optical axis is oriented to admit the first polarization at a first input point and output the first polarization at a first output angle to the optical axis and the second polarization at a second output angle to the optical axis. A second lensing element positioned after the first lensing element is oriented to receive the polarizations at input angles equal to their respective output angles, and outputs both polarizations at a first and second output point respectively. In a symmetrical arrangement, the first and second output points are separated by the initial walk-off distance. Additional walk-off control elements and optics can be interposed between the first and second lensing elements, depending on the functionality of the beam splitter and combiner or optical device employing the same.
摘要:
A system and method for filtering are disclosed. The system and method include providing first, second, third and fourth fibers for carrying a first, second, third, and fourth optical signals, respectively. The method and system also include providing a holder, a filter, and a first wedge assembly. The holder is for receiving the first fiber, the second fiber, the third fiber, and the fourth fiber therein. The filter is for filtering the first optical signal, the second optical signal, the third optical signal, and the fourth optical signal to provide a first filtered optical signal, a second filtered optical signal, a third filtered optical signal, and a fourth filtered optical signal. The first wedge assembly is disposed between the holder and the filter. The first wedge assembly is for directing the first optical signal towards the filter in a first path, for directing the second optical signal toward the filter in a second path, for directing the third optical signal towards the filter in a third path, and for directing the fourth optical signal toward the filter in a fourth path.
摘要:
A technique for forming an image of an object in or behind a scattering medium. In one embodiment, the object is made luminescent, and the luminescent light is selected for imaging while the illuminating light is filtered out. The quality of the image can be further improved by selected the portion of the luminescence spectrum that is strongly absorbed by the scattering medium.
摘要:
A system for imaging an object in or behind a highly scattering medium includes a light source for illuminating the highly scattering medium with a beam of light. The light emerging form the highly scattering medium consists of a ballistic component, snake-like component and a diffuse component. A 4F Fourier imaging system including a Fourier spatial filter located at 2F is used to form a time gated image of the emerging light, the time gated image consisting primarily of the ballistic component and the snake-like component.
