摘要:
The invention provides integrated optical matching elements for use in integrated optical devices. The matching elements each comprise one or more lenses. The lenses may have low index contrast with the surrounding medium. Required dioptric power is achieved by using a train of lenses. Optical matching elements according to the invention can be used to enhance the optical coupling between channel waveguides and slab waveguides. The insertion loss of devices such as optical power splitters, optical couplers and arrayed waveguide grating routers can be reduced by incorporating optical matching elements according to the invention.

A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for de-duplication in a Web services environment. Responsive to receiving a signature for a portion of a request message from a client, the mechanism performs a query in a bit stream repository to determine whether the portion of the request message has been previously received. Responsive to determining the portion of the message has been previously received, the mechanism retrieves the portion of the message from the bit stream repository. The mechanism notifies the client that the portion of the message has been previously received such that the client does not send the portion of the message.

The invention disclosed herein includes nanocomplexes that are designed include enzymes that have complementary functional attributes and methods for using these nanocomplexes. Illustrative examples include nanocomplexes that comprise both an alcohol oxidase enzyme as well as a catalase enzyme. These nanocomplexes can be used in methods designed to lower blood alcohol levels in vivo, and/or to break down the toxic byproducts of alcohol metabolism. Consequently these nanocomplexes can be used to treat a variety of conditions resulting from the consumption of alcohol, including for example, acute alcohol intoxication.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for integrating client and server deduplication systems may be provided. In this method, a first hash set of a previous backup session may be received from a server. The first hash set may comprise a plurality of cryptographic values generated using a plurality of data blocks of a first data set of a client. A second hash set may be generated using a plurality of data blocks of a second data set of the client. A deduplicated data set may be generated by the client according to the first hash set and the second hash set and may comprise a plurality of non-redundant data blocks of the second data set. The second hash set and the deduplicated data set may be transmitted to the server.

The various embodiments herein include operate to identify, consolidate, and reduce redundant backup data storage. One embodiment includes storing data blocks and first signatures of data chunks of each stored data block, the first signature of each data chunk including a reference to a storage location of the data chunk within a stored data block, the stored data blocks including data blocks of previous and recent backup sessions. Some embodiments further include storing second signatures in a second signature repository, where the second signatures are calculated based on determined boundaries of the first signatures from previous backup sessions. At least one of the second signatures is calculated based on at least two first signatures, and in the range of 32 to 64 first signatures in some embodiments. Some embodiments may identify data chunks of the recent backup session present in the stored data blocks prior to the recent backup session.

This invention relates to a system and method for measuring an object of interest (101). According to the invention, the system comprises a frame (120) having a plurality of holes (121) arranged in known positions and extending in known directions, each of the holes being arranged to cooperate with a rod (130) comprising a sensor (132); and the system comprises means (140) for measuring the position of each of the sensors (132) when the rod is inserted in the hole (121) and the sensor (132) is in contact with the surface of the object of interest (101). Furthermore, the system comprises a processor (150) for deriving the shape of the object of interest, based on the positions of the plurality of sensors.
摘要:
A multichannel audio format provides a truly discrete as well as a backward compatible mix for surround-sound, front or other discrete audio channels in cinema, home theater, or music environments. The additional discrete audio signals are mixed with the existing discrete audio channels into a predetermined format such as the 5.1 audio format. In addition these additional discrete audio channels are encoded and appended to the predetermined format as extension bits in the bitstream. The existing base of multichannel decoders can be used in combination with a mix decoder to reproduce truly discrete N.1 multichannel audio.
