| 20090052842 | Method for producing an optical splitter, and optical splitter - An optical splitter has an optical chip, in which a conductor track is arranged on a carrier substrate, wherein a conductor track section of the conductor track running from a first side of the chip branches into different conductor track sections which run to a second side of the chip via a plurality of branching nodes. An optical waveguide section of an optical waveguide is bonded at the first side of the chip by means of an adhesive material. Correspondingly, optical waveguide sections are bonded on the second side of the chip by means of an adhesive material. In order to reinforce the fixing, glass plates are arranged over and under the optical waveguides, said glass plates being bonded to the optical chip at the respective lateral surfaces. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20110069749 | NONLINEAR EQUALIZER TO CORRECT FOR MEMORY EFFECTS OF A TRANSMITTER - Techniques for correcting for memory effects of a transmitter are described. In an exemplary design, a receiver obtains input samples including a desired signal transmitted by a transmitter having memory effects. The receiver performs nonlinear equalization on the input samples to obtain first equalized samples, performs linear equalization on the input samples to obtain second equalized samples, and determines output samples based on the first and second equalized samples. The nonlinear equalization corrects for the memory effects and nonlinearities of the transmitter and possibly nonlinearities and memory effects of the receiver. The receiver may jointly determine coefficients for both linear and nonlinear equalization based on an adaptive algorithm. The receiver processes (e.g., demodulates and decodes) the output samples to recover data sent in the desired signal by the transmitter. | 03-24-2011 |

| 20100033246 | ADAPTIVE DIGITAL PREDISTORTION OF COMPLEX MODULATED WAVEFORM USING PEAK AND RMS VOLTAGE FEEDBACK FROM THE OUTPUT OF A POWER AMPLIFIER - Exemplary embodiments of the invention includes an amplifier and a processor that adapts a baseline or previous model of the input-output signal characteristic of the amplifier using metrics of the system, including peak power, peak voltage, average power, root mean square (RMS) voltage, samples of the output signal of the amplifier, or environmental metrics such as temperature, power supply voltage, signal frequency, etc. In particular, the system comprises an amplifier; a device to measure a metric of the system; a processor to generate a present model of the input-output signal characteristic of the amplifier based on the system metric; and a predistortion device to predistort the input signal for the amplifier based on the present amplifier model. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100271123 | ADAPTIVE DIGITAL PREDISTORTION OF COMPLEX MODULATED WAVEFORM USING LOCALIZED PEAK FEEDBACK FROM THE OUTPUT OF A POWER AMPLIFIER - Exemplary embodiments of the invention includes an amplifier and a processor that adapts a baseline or previous model of the input-output signal characteristic of the amplifier using metrics of the system, including peak power, peak voltage, average power, root mean square (RMS) voltage, samples of the output signal of the amplifier, etc. In particular, the system comprises an amplifier; a device to measure a metric of the system; a processor to generate a present model of the input-output signal characteristic of the amplifier based on the system metric as determined through a localized sampling window of the output signal; and a predistortion device to predistort the input signal for the amplifier based on the present amplifier model. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110103455 | ADAPTIVE DIGITAL POST DISTORTION REDUCTION - A method for adaptive digital post distortion reduction is described. An analog radio frequency (RF) signal is received. The frequency of the analog RF signal is downconverted using analog circuitry. The analog RF signal is converted to a digital signal using an analog to digital converter (ADC). Digital post distortion reduction is applied to the digital signal to reduce nonlinearities in the digital signal. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20100199879 | BIMODAL CONTAINER CHASSIS - The disclosure provides a bimodal container chassis of differing lengths in a gooseneck type as well as a flat beam type for supporting ISO and domestic containers and other cargo during highway as well as railway transit. The bimodal container chassis has a front end equipped with a king-pin for connecting to a tractor and a rear end equipped with braking and suspension components, axles, wheels and tires, which make the bimodal container chassis suitable for road transport. The bimodal container chassis has front and rear ends for connecting, and thereby suspending, the bimodal container chassis including but not limited to its payload between two rail bogies, which make the bimodal container chassis suitable for rail transit. The bimodal container chassis is constructed of sufficient strength and stiffness to withstand in-train forces of 400,000 pounds tension and compression, yet the bimodal container chassis is constructed of reasonable weight for being competitive and complying with bridge laws as well as other highway regulations. | 08-12-2010 |
