20100177791 | TIMESTAMP CONVERSION - A target time stamp on a target time-base is obtained from a originating time stamp on an originating time-base of an audio video transport system by first taking samples simultaneously from transport streams having the originating time-base and target timebase, respectively. A current sample and an immediately preceding sample for the originating time-base and target time-base are stored, respectively. A first difference is determined between the current sample and an immediately preceding sample for the originating time-base and a second difference is determined between the current sample and an immediately preceding sample for the target time-base, respectively. The first difference is added to the current sample of the originating time base and the second difference is added to the current sample of the target time-base if the current sample is less than the originating time-stamp and the first difference is subtracted from the current sample of the originating time base and the second difference is subtracted from the current sample of the target time-base if the current sample is greater than the originating timestamp. The first difference and the second difference are halved and the addition or subtraction and halving iterated until the first difference or the second difference is negligibly small. The iterated current sample of the target time-base is output as the target time-stamp. | 07-15-2010 |

20130301661 | Optical Signal Processing - An optical device, suitable for use either as a coherent receiver or analog-to-digital converter, of optical phase modulated signals borne on a carrier. The signal is four-wave mixed with a pump to generate a non-linear comb of a series of harmonic components of the signal. The modulation-free carrier is also combined with the pump to generate an equivalent linear comb matched in frequency to the components of the non-linear comb. The harmonic and modulation-free components are linearly combined so they interfere in a pairwise manner, and then the interfered frequency components are separated out in an optical wavelength division demultiplexer into a plurality of frequency-specific optical output channels. A plurality of photodetectors connected to respective ones of the optical output channels then converts the analog values in each channel to respective electronic signals which are then digitized using a processor into binary digits using a thresholding process. | 11-14-2013 |
20150049377 | OPTICAL DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS - First and second coherent light beams of the same wavelength are propagated in opposite directions to interact on a sub-wavelength thickness metallic metamaterial layer which is structured with a periodicity such that there is a resonance matched to the wavelength of the coherent beams. The first beam is then able to modulate the intensity of the second beam by modulating the phase and/or intensity of the first beam. The interference of the counter- propagating beams can eliminate or substantially reduce Joule loss of light energy in the metamaterial layer or, on the contrary, can lead to a near total absorption of light, depending on the mutual phase and/or intensity of the interacting beams. A modulation is thus provided without using a non-linear effect. | 02-19-2015 |

20110001045 | SUBSTANCE DETECTION DEVICE UTILIZING A CYCLONE PARTICLE SEPARATOR - A substance detection device, including a chemical substance analyzer, including an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS), a desorber, a conduit, and a membrane. The membrane extends across a cross-section of the conduit, and the membrane is positioned to have a desorber side in gas communication with the desorber and an analysis side opposite the desorber side. The substance detection device can be configured to direct a portion of a chemical substance to the desorber through the conduit so that at least a portion of the entrained chemical substance is transferred to the membrane by interacting with the desorber side of the membrane. The membrane is adapted to diffuse at least a portion of the chemical substance transferred to the membrane through the membrane to the analysis side. The device also includes a particle separator including a protuberance extending into a collection chamber of the particle separator. | 01-06-2011 |
