20110231296SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTERACTING WITH MESSAGES, AUTHORS, AND FOLLOWERS - Embodiments of a search engine are disclosed that enable authors and third parties to influence the persistence and ranking of the author or the author's posts in search result listings using a bidding process or other compensation-based mechanism. In one embodiment, the search engine allows authors to submit bids in auction for ranking in order to keep their posts (or posts of other authors) visible to targeted searchers for a longer period of time than would normally be available. The bid amount, together with other attributes, can be used to determine the relevance and ranking of posts or authors provided in a search results page to a searcher. Embodiments of the search engine may be utilized with a microblogging service or a social networking service.09-22-2011

20090208205Photonic Based Cross-Correlation Homodyne Detection with Low Phase Noise - In one aspect, this document provides an implementation of a system for characterizing an oscillator. This system includes an input port that receives an oscillation signal from an oscillator under test; an input port signal splitter that splits the received oscillation signal into a first oscillation signal and a second oscillation signal; a first photonic signal processing branch circuit that processes the first oscillation signal to produce a first branch output signal; a second photonic signal processing branch circuit that processes the second oscillation signal to produce a second branch output signal; a dual channel signal analyzer that receives the first and second branch output signals to measure noise in the received oscillation signal; and a computer controller that controls the first and second photonic signal processing branch circuits and the dual channel signal analyzer to control measurements of the noise in the received oscillation signal.08-20-2009

20090324251Tunable Radio Frequency and Microwave Photonic Filters - RF and microwave devices and techniques are disclosed for processing RF and microwave signals by using (1) photonic or optical components and (2) RF and microwave components. In some implementations, a part of the processing is performed in the RF and microwave domain such as applying a microwave or RF input signal to control an optical modulator, and another part of the processing is performed in the optical domain such as optical filtering of the modulated optical beam to select desired microwave or RF spectral components. The frequency of a selected spectral component can be tuned by either tuning the frequency of the optical beam that is modulated by the optical modulator or a filter that is used to filter modulated optical beam.12-31-2009
