20100322269TUNABLE LASER - A tunable laser has a gain material and a mirror defining an external resonant cavity. A tunable Fabry-Perot etalon disposed along the optical path between the mirror and the gain material includes a liquid crystal layer having a variable refractive index to tune the transmission peaks of the etalon and the resonant frequency of the laser resonant cavity. A second etalon having a fixed set of transmission peaks can also be included in the laser resonant cavity. The tunable etalon is then tuned to select a resonant frequency corresponding to one of the transmission peaks of the fixed etalon.12-23-2010

20090055445ON DEMAND DATA CONVERSION - Novel tools for updating data structures in a database. In an aspect, the tools are used to update a database's structures in response to the update of an application (such as an enterprise application) that uses the database. In another aspect, the tools may convert a data set to a new format when the updated application attempts to access the data set; in some cases, other data sets within the database might remain unconverted until their use. Advantageously, this allows for a database (and/or a table within a database) to be updated incrementally and/or on demand. This feature can mitigate the impact of the update on users, for example, by avoiding the need to take the database (and/or application) offline to perform a batch process to update the database.02-26-2009
20120117493CONFIGURABLE METRIC GROUPS FOR PRESENTING DATA TO A USER - A dashboard application can enable a user to quickly view data (and, in a particular aspect, data from one or more business applications) in an efficient manner. The dashboard application can be used to view data about one or more metrics that reflect the performance of a business, as derived from data maintained (perhaps in an associated data store) by the business application(s). In an aspect, a user can select two or more metrics to be displayed on a summary page and/or can invoke a detail page to view detailed information about one of the two or more metrics.05-10-2012

20120170842TONE MAPPING OF VERY LARGE AERIAL IMAGE MOSAIC - A method for tone mapping a high dynamic range image of a large terrestrial area into a lower dynamic range image uses: globally aware, locally adaptive approach whereby local tonal balancing parameter values are derived from known tone mapping parameters for a local 3×3 matrix of image tiles and used in turn to derive a local sigmoid transfer function for pixels in the tile in the middle of the matrix. A global sigmoid transfer function is derived based on values of the tone mapping parameters applicable to the entire image. A lower dynamic range image pixel will have a local tone mapped value and a globally tone mapped value, which are combined by giving each a weighted value to provide a final low dynamitic range pixel value.07-05-2012
