    摘要: Smooth transitions between rich media (e.g., animations of visual elements of a UI) are provided when a “second” animation is started on a property of a visual element for which a “first” animation is already running. When the second animation is started, an animation system causes a current value of the property that resulted from the running of the “first” animation (i.e., snapshot) to be stored, terminates or releases the first animation, and then causes the second animation to run using the snapshot as the “from” value of the property. Because the second animation “begins” at exactly the point at which the first animation ended, the transition between the first and second animation is smooth. An animation storage object can be created for a property for which an animation has been triggered to store base values and snapshots of the property while being animated.

    摘要: The present invention consists of a method and apparatus for measuring first and higher order PMD vectors in optical fibers. For each first-order PMD vector determination, two distinct polarization states are sequentially injected into an optical device under test for each of a pair of frequencies &ohgr; and &ohgr;+&Dgr;&ohgr;f. A Stokes vector s1 representing the first polarization state must not be parallel or anti-parallel to a Stokes vector sa representing the second polarization state, but the relative angle between s1 and sa need not be known. The frequency interval &Dgr;&ohgr;f is large to obtain a high signal-to-noise ratio. Thus, four light beams are injected, the first at frequency &ohgr; and polarization s1, the second at frequency &ohgr; and polarization sa, the third at frequency &ohgr;+&Dgr;&ohgr;f and polarization s1, and the fourth light at frequency &ohgr;+&Dgr;&ohgr;f and polarization sa. The output polarizations of these beams are measured and four corresponding output Stokes vectors are determined. A first-order PMD vector is then calculated from the four input Stokes vectors and four output Stokes vectors. Each subsequent PMD vector determination is then made using a pair of frequencies which differs from the previous pair of frequencies by a frequency interval &Dgr;&ohgr;i which is small compared to &Dgr;&ohgr;f. Since &Dgr;&ohgr;i can be small, high spectral resolution of the PMD vector can be obtained, while still maintaining good signal-to-noise ratio provided by using a large &Dgr;&ohgr;f. The good signal-to-noise ratio and high spectral resolution of the PMD vector allow the accurate determination of second- and higher-order PMD vectors.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for simultaneously taking measurements that are used for determining PMD vectors. This reduces the time interval over which all measurements are taken and reduces inaccuracy caused by PMD variation during the time measurement interval. The apparatus and method may be used in conjunction with any technique for calculating PMD, such as the Poincare Sphere Technique or Jones Matrix Eigenanalysis. The apparatus simultaneously produces multiple light beams. To distinguish each light beam from the others, each beam is given a distinct modulation. All the beams are then combined and passed through the optical device under test. A polarization measuring device then measures the output polarization of the combined beam and outputs one or more composite electrical signals that describe the Stokes components of the output polarization of the combined beam and that have the same modulations present in the original combined beam. Using modulation filters having the same modulations as given to each original light beam, electrical signals may be extracted from the composite electrical signals that describe the Stokes components of the output polarization corresponding to each original light beam. Also, measurement and control of the frequency difference between light beams used for determining PMD vectors is improved by receiving light beams of two distinct frequencies using a detector that then outputs a signal having a frequency equal to the difference in frequencies of the light beams. In addition, a feedback loop is used to better control the frequency difference between two light sources. Also, a frequency shifter is used to generate two light beams separated by a specific frequency interval.
