| 20100317302 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING RF EXPLOSURE LEVELS - An apparatus comprises a radio frequency (RF) signal source; and a controller configured to adjust power of the RF signal source based on a detected parameter. In one embodiment, the apparatus further comprises a proximity sensor configured to determine proximity of the RF signal source to live tissue, and the detected parameter is the proximity determined by the proximity sensor. The RF signal source may be an RF antenna. The controller may be configured to reduce the power of the RF signal source when the proximity is less than a predetermined threshold value. The controller may be configured to reduce the power to a predetermined reduced power level. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20110211826 | System and Method for Managing the Selection of Ghost Channels for Mitigating Polarization Hole Burning - A system and method for selecting ghost channels in an optical communication system, including components configured to examine an optical communication channel within a node of the optical communication system, examine a neighbor channel of the optical communication channel, determine whether using the neighbor channel as a ghost channel will create an undesirable level of risk of feedback within the optical communication system, if using the neighbor channel as a ghost channel will not create an undesirable level of risk of feedback, determine whether the neighbor channel is currently used as a ghost channel, and if the neighbor channel is not currently used as a ghost channel, select the neighbor channel as a ghost channel. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110211835 | System and Method for Mitigating Polarization Hole Burning - A system for mitigating the effects of polarization hole burning in an optical communication system. The system includes an optical input signal comprising one or more traffic channels, a measurement module configured to check for the existence of ghost channels around the traffic channels, and a ghost channel generation module configured to generate a ghost channel around the traffic channels from amplified spontaneous emission noise of the optical input signal. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110211836 | System and Method for Optimizing the Selection of Ghost Channels in Mitigating Polarization Hole Burning - A system and method for optimizing the selection of ghost channels to mitigate the effects of polarization hole burning in a node of an optical communication system including identifying an optical communication channel in the node for use as a ghost channel, identifying a first set of degrees carrying the optical communication channel within the node, identifying a second set of degrees within the first set of degrees, the second set containing the degrees with the optical communication channel being a valid channel, identifying a third set of degrees within the first set of degrees, the third set containing degrees with the optical communication channel being sufficiently powerful, and selecting a first degree to source the ghost channel from the first set of degrees based at least on the second set of degrees and the third set of degrees. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110211841 | Ghost Channel Management for PHB Mitigation - A system and method for managing the selection of ghost channels in an optical communication system, including components configured to collect one or more first data values indicating the validity of an optical communication channel within a first degree of a node in the optical communication system, collect one or more second data values indicating the optical power level of the optical communication channel, transmit the first and second data values to a second degree of the node, receive the first and second data values at the first degree, and aggregate the first and second data values for the first degree and the second degree at the first degree. | 09-01-2011 |

| 20100208830 | Video Decoder - The present invention is directed to a system and method which allows highly compressed data files to be expanded in a standalone decoder having an output at least 80 times larger than the compressed input. In one embodiment, a universally available interface is used to transport encoded media from a host PC to a decoder external to the PC for expansion and presentation as a HD display image. In one embodiment, a USB port of the user's PC (or other storage device) is used to transport data at a rate of between 0.3 Mbit/sec and 5 Mbits/sec for expansion into a robust HD signal of up to about 3Gbits/sec or higher. In other embodiments, provision is made for reducing the decompressed expanded data file to below 480 Mbits/sec so as to accommodate retransport of the decompressed file back to the PC or storage device for temporary storage or display. | 08-19-2010 |
