20090302076MULTI-FUNCTION EQUIPMENT CASE - The present invention provides a multi-function equipment case that integrates keeper technology with equipment cases. Specifically, under the present invention, an equipment case will include a compartment for holding a piece of equipment and at least one keeper strap secured to an outer surface of the compartment. The keeper strap(s) not only allows for attachment of the multi-function equipment case to a duty belt, but it also binds the duty belt to a pants belt. This integrated device eliminates the wasted space caused by having to use keepers separate and apart from the case.12-10-2009

20100241889POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - In one embodiment, provided is a method that includes detecting disconnect of a link at a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device coupled to a USB host via a USB bus, disconnecting the USB device from the USB bus, and modifying a power state of the USB device to a reduced power state. Disconnecting the USB device from the USB bus includes configuring the USB device such that the USB host recognizes the USB device as being disconnected from the USB bus. The reduced power state allows the USB device to monitor a status of the link such that the USB device is able to detect a reconnect of the link.09-23-2010
20120062800Monitor Chaining and Docking Mechanism - A circuit that supports multiple monitors, docking functions, and protected content via one cable. The circuit includes a receiver that receives multiple video streams, each including respective video data, a mux/demux, coupled to the receiver, that determines which video stream to display on a monitor, a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) converter, coupled to the mux/demux, that generates an LVDS signal based on the video data of the determined video stream, an LVDS serializer/deserializer, coupled to the LVDS converter, that generates a signal based on the LVDS signal and sends the signal to a display panel of the monitor for display, a transmitter coupled to the mux/demux, and a transmit physical interface (TPI) coupled to the transmitter. The mux/demux sends at least a remainder of the video streams to the transmitter, which sends them to the TPI, which transmits them as output, useable as input to further instances of the circuit.03-15-2012

20100036992USB and Ethernet Controller Combination Device - A USB-to-Ethernet controller with a USB hub may be integrated into a single integrated circuit (IC) USB-Ethernet Combination (UEC) device. The UEC may provide the end user with an Ethernet port, multiple downstream USB ports, and an upstream USB port for connecting to a USB host controller. One or more of the USB hub ports may be brought off the IC, enabling an end user to connect them to any arbitrary USB device(s). The third hub port may be an internal downstream port without a physical layer, and may be configured to connect to an Ethernet controller, which may comprise a USB device controller. The Ethernet controller may connect to the internal downstream port via a digital interface such as UTMI. The UEC device may appear to the host computer as two separate devices, an Ethernet controller and a USB hub. The Ethernet controller may appear as a permanently attached device on the internal downstream port.02-11-2010
20100217911Serial Bus Hub with Low Power Devices - Serial bus hub with one or more low power devices. The serial bus hub may include at least one upstream port for coupling to a host system. The serial bus hub may include one or more downstream ports for coupling to peripheral devices. The serial bus hub may include the low power devices which may have no functionality external to the serial bus hub. The presence of the low power devices may allow the serial bus hub to draw additional power from the host system and a substantial portion of the additional power may be usable by other devices. The serial bus hub may be configured to allow the host system and one or more peripheral devices coupled to the one or more downstream ports to communicate.08-26-2010

20100128744SPECTRALLY TAILORED PULSED FIBER LASER OSCILLATOR - High power optical pulses generating methods and laser oscillators are provided. A light generating module generates seed optical pulses having predetermined optical characteristics. A spectrum tailoring module is then used to tailor the spectral profile of the optical pulses. The spectral tailoring module includes a phase modulator which imposes a time-dependent phase variation on the optical pulses. The activation of the phase modulator is synchronized with the passage of the optical pulse therethough, thereby efficiently reducing the RF power necessary to operate the device.05-27-2010
20110170564FIBER LASER OSCILLATORS AND SYSTEMS USING AN OPTIMIZED PHASE VARYING FUNCTION - A pulsed fiber laser oscillator and laser systems incorporating such laser oscillators are presented. The laser oscillator first includes a light generating module which generates optical pulses having an initial spectral profile. A spectrum tailoring module tailors the initial spectral profile of the optical pulses by imposing a phase variation on each optical pulse according to an optimized phase varying function. The optimized phase varying function has one of a rectified sinusoidal shape, a parabolic shape and a rectified parabolic shape. Laser systems incorporating such oscillators may be of a MOPA configuration, and may further include a nonlinear crystal for frequency conversion or a bulk solid-state amplifier.07-14-2011
20120187860CIRCUIT ASSEMBLY FOR CONTROLLING AN OPTICAL SYSTEM TO GENERATE OPTICAL PULSES AND PULSE BURSTS - A circuit assembly controlling an optical system to generate optical pulses is provided. The optical system includes a seed light source optically coupled to an amplitude modulator. The circuit assembly includes a control circuit which generates a pulsed seed drive signal for driving the seed laser source, as well as logic signals defining successions of ON and OFF states and having a predetermined relative timing relationship. One or more of the logic signals is delayed by a corresponding programmable delay line to adjust the relative timing relationship between the logic signals. A logic gating module combines the logic signals according to one or more logical rule, thereby providing a modulator drive signal. Using this circuit assembly, the optical system outputs an optical pulse at each ON state of the modulator drive signal synchronized with the passage of one of the seed optical pulses through the amplitude modulator.07-26-2012
