| 20120140018 | Server-Assisted Video Conversation - A method, computer program product, and system provide real time, two way audio-video conversation between mobile computing devices. Low latency is achieved by splitting the audio and video data streams from a given audio-video conversation using two different transport protocols to send the separate streams over a network, and re-syncing them at the other end. The transmission for each stream is tuned based on feedback data indicating available bandwidth of the network or other mobile computing device. A server offloads processing requirements that would otherwise be handled by the mobile computing device. The two way conversation can be externally observed by web-based users. The system functions over a disparate set of mobile computing device endpoints and web-based endpoints, and over different wireless carrier network infrastructures. | 06-07-2012 |

For example, volume Bragg gratings, distributed feedback gratings or patterns, using of vertical optical cavities surrounded by multilayer Bragg reflectors can be applied. The optical modes of the passive optical cavity partially penetrate into the gain region of the reflector. As a result of the interaction of the gain medium in the reflector region and the passive cavity modes, photons are generated or amplified in the passive cavity at wavelengths defined by the passive cavity modes. The materials selected for the passive cavity layers are chosen to provide the necessary temperature dependence of the effective index of refraction of the related optical modes of the passive cavity and serve as a tool to achieve the controlled temperature dependence of the wavelength of the emitted photons. In particular a complete suppression of the wavelength to temperature variations can be achieved. In another case a strong shift of the resonant wavelength or wavelengths with temperature may be realized.

The power converter may be, for example, a buck converter, boost converter, or cascaded buck-boost converter. The purpose of the proposed control loop is to set the average converter input current to the requested current. Controlling the average input current can be relevant for various applications such as power factor correction (PFC), photovoltaic converters, and more. The method is based on predicting the inductor current based on measuring the input voltage, the output voltage, and the inductor current. A fast cycle-by-cycle control loop may be implemented. The conversion method is described for three different modes. For each mode a different control loop is used to control the average input current, and the control loop for each of the different modes is described. Finally, the algorithm for switching between the modes is disclosed. | 02-12-2009 |
