20110001684 | MULTIRESONANCE HELIX ANTENNA - A helix antenna for satellite connections of mobile devices is to be fed from above, and all its radiators are side by side on a same geometric cylindrical surface. The antenna has at least two resonances. In the case of two-resonance every second radiator resonates at a lower frequency and the rest of the radiators at another, higher frequency, the frequency difference being based on the difference in the physical length of the radiators. One conductor of the feed line of the antenna is connected directly to one half of the radiators and the other conductor to the other half of the radiators. No separate feed circuit for the phase shifts is required in an antenna with plurality of helix radiators, because the phasing can be implemented by the positioning of the radiators and the fine tuning of their length. The antenna structure is simple, and case its production costs are relatively low. | 01-06-2011 |

20160085908 | Melt Curve Analysis - A method of high resolution melting curve analysis for characterizing nucleic acid molecules such as PCR products having a distinct Tm using fluorescence is provided. The technique comprises modeling the raw melting curve data as a sum of at least two signal components, the first signal component representing the light intensity emitted by unbound/free fluorophores and the one or more second signal components representing the combined light intensity emitted by fluorophores bound to double stranded DNA. Numerical analysis is used to determine the values of the different components contributing to the total signal such that the model matches the raw fluorescence data as closely as possible. The method enables an improved resolution of mixtures of target nucleic acids even at non-saturating dye concentrations because it takes into account the effect of redistribution of intercalating dye from low-temperature duplexes to duplexes that melt at higher temperatures. | 03-24-2016 |

20090016738 | COMPACT ALL-OPTICAL CLOCK RECOVERY DEVICE - A clock recovery device adapted to recover at least one clock signal from an optical input signal. The input signal includes at least one data signal. The clock recovery device-includes a first waveguide, a first optical resonator coupled to the first waveguide, a second optical resonator coupled to the first waveguide, and a combiner to combine signals provided by the first optical resonator and the second optical resonator in order to provide an output signal. A passband of the first optical resonator is matched with a first spectral peak of the input signal, and a passband of the second optical resonator is matched with a second spectral peak of the input signal such that the spectral separation between the first and the second peaks is equal to a clock frequency associated with a first data signal. The optical resonators store optical energy and provide an output also when the data signal is zero. Thus, the output signal includes a first recovered clock signal which exhibits continuous beat at the first clock frequency. The optical resonators are coupled to the same waveguide by evanescent coupling. A high coupling efficiency may be achieved and the use of further optical splitters may be avoided. | 01-15-2009 |
20090060525 | ALL-OPTICAL POLARIZATION-INDEPENDENT CLOCK RECOVERY - Simultaneous recovery of several different clock signals is based on coupling an optical input signal into an optical resonator matched with at least four spectral peaks of the input signal. The input signal having arbitrary polarization is divided by a polarizing splitter into a first signal having horizontal polarization and a second signal having vertical polarization. The polarization of the first signal is rotated 90 degrees such that the polarization of the first signal is parallel to the vertical polarization second signal. Both vertically polarized signals are passed through the same optical resonator in opposite directions, and they are combined after passing through the resonator in order to form an output signal. The spectral separation between the first peak and the second peak is equal to a first clock frequency, and the spectral separation between the third peak and the fourth peak is equal to a second clock frequency. The resonator stores optical energy and provides an output also when the input signal is zero. Thus, the output signal includes a first recovered clock signal which exhibits continuous beat at the first clock frequency, and a second recovered clock signal which exhibits continuous beat at the first clock frequency. Only vertically polarized light is passed through the resonator. Thus, variations in the polarization of the input signal do not require continuous re-adjustment of the resonator. | 03-05-2009 |
20100028016 | Optical Signal Processing Device - A signal processing device including a light source to emit light at a wavelength which is substantially equal to the carrier wavelength of an optical input signal. An optical resonator provides a filtered signal by optical filtering of the optical input signal. The optical resonator is non-matched with the carrier wavelength of the optical input signal. An optical combiner combines the filtered signal with the emitted light to form an optical output signal. The signal processing device may be adapted to recover the clock frequency of a modulated input signal. The intensity of the output signal exhibits periodic variations at the clock frequency when the resonator is adjusted at least approximately to the predetermined sideband of the modulated input signal. | 02-04-2010 |

The received symbols are converted to symbols in a phase/amplitude-modulation format. A first amplitude regeneration, which involves reduction of amplitude noise, is applied to a first symbol pair. A modulation format conversion is performed on the optical signal in the phase/amplitude modulation format after the first amplitude regeneration. A second amplitude regeneration is applied to a second symbol pair, wherein the first and second symbol pairs differ from one another in respect of at least one different feature, which is selected from a group that includes a different nominal phase value assigned to the symbols of the symbol pair and a different temporal distance between the symbols of a symbol pair. | 08-12-2010 |
20110318014 | NOISE SUPPRESSION IN AN OPTICAL APPARATUS - Apparatus for processing an optical signal carrying symbols. Modulation conversion means converts the optical signal from a first format, wherein each symbol has a unique nominal phase, to a second format, wherein each symbol has a unique combination of nominal phase and nominal amplitude. The modulation conversion means includes a signal splitter for splitting the optical input signal into two optical partial signals, which are directed to respective optical paths. Delay elements cause a mutual temporal difference between the two optical partial signals, which are processed in at least one non-linear regenerator having at least two ports and a gain which depends on the combined signal power directed to the at least two ports. The apparatus directs the optical partial signals from the modulation conversion means to an internal or external photo detector stage in the second format. | 12-29-2011 |
