An optoelectronic device uses microcode to perform an end of life calculation for the optoelectronic device. In a disclosed example, the optoelectronic device senses environmental and operational parameters under changing conditions during device operation. The optoelectronic device then calculates the end of life for itself based on one or more of the sensed environmental and/or operational parameters. The calculation can be done in real time and using digital logic. The calculation can provide a result in a format which is useful to a host system with which the device is connected. The optoelectronic device may automatically shut itself down upon reaching its calculated end of life.

摘要:
An optical signaling header technique applicable to optical networks wherein packet routing information is embedded in the same channel or wavelength as the data payload so that both the header and data payload propagate through network elements with the same path and the associated delays. The technique effects survivability and security of the optical networks by encompassing conventional electronic security with an optical security layer by generating replicated versions of the input data payload at the input node, and the transmission of each of the replicated versions over a corresponding one of the plurality of links. Moreover, each of the links is composed of multiple wavelengths to propagate optical signals or optical packets, and each of the replicated versions of the data payload may be propagated over a selected one of the wavelengths in each corresponding one of the plurality of links.

A qualifying connection for an instrument attaches to a source of electrosurgery energy to and the instrument and has first and second parts coupled to the instrument and the source, respectively. Optical couplings on the connection transmit invisible energy to identify the instrument and are proximate on the first and second parts. A light modifier on the first part is proximal to the second part for modification of radiation in the infrared wavelengths so infrared transmitters encode signals and non contact coded proximity detectors on the second part are the coupled detectors. Non contact coded proximity detectors respond to modified infrared light establishing an Nth bit identification code. An infrared light supply in the source pass from the transmitters across the communicating couplings for encoding signals by modification of the infrared light with a light modifier. Mechanical attachments include conjugating male and female portions physically extending between the parts for mating engagement. The attachments juxtaposition the parts when the attachments geometrically conjugate to geographically positioning the couplings proximate for communicating. The attachments have one or more conductors for delivery of high frequency energy from the source to the instrument. A cable fits between the first part of the connection and the instrument and has electrical conductors for carrying energy passing through the first part of the connection from the source to the instrument. An identifying circuit couples to the second part and responds to invisible light optically communicated across the couplings for verifying the type of instrument connected by the cable to the source.

On embodiment relates to improvement in a passenger conveyance vehicle having front, back and side portions defining an enclosure for occupation by one or more passengers, one of the side portions having therein at least one door mechanism enabling passenger ingress to and egress from the vehicle, the side portion being hereinafter referred to as the door side, the improvement comprising a frontal transmitter disposed at the front of the vehicle and delivering a frontal frequency modulated lightwave signal in a three-dimensional pattern so as to enable a person disposed ahead of and on the door side of the approaching vehicle to be within the frontal signal pattern as the vehicle continues along at least a substantial portion of its normal line of travel and approaches such person; the front signal, if suitably received and converted, providing intelligible communication to a person within the frontal signal pattern. In another embodiment, the invention provides a passenger transit system comprising a) a plurality of terminals at which one or more conveyance vehicles periodically arrive and depart, the terminals each having at least one adjacent walkway, and the conveyance vehicles each having front, back and side portions defining an enclosure for occupation by one or more passengers, one of the side portions having therein at least one door mechanism enabling passenger ingress to and egress from the vehicle; and b) at least one transmitter disposed at each of one or more of the terminals, each transmitter delivering a frequency modulated lightwave signal in a three-dimensional pattern so as to enable a person using the walkway to be within the pattern of the transmitter as the person approaches the respective terminal; the signals from each of the transmitters being the same or different, and if suitably received and converted, providing intelligible communication to a person within the pattern. In a preferred embodiment, the transit system further comprises a frontal transmitter as described above.
