| 20100150193 | MQW Laser Structure Comprising Plural MQW Regions - Multi-quantum well laser structures are provided comprising active and/or passive MQW regions. Each of the MQW regions comprises a plurality of quantum wells and intervening barrier layers. Adjacent MQW regions are separated by a spacer layer that is thicker than the intervening barrier layers. The bandgap of the quantum wells is lower than the bandgap of the intervening barrier layers and the spacer layer. The active region may comprise active and passive MQWs and be configured for electrically-pumped stimulated emission of photons or it may comprises active MQW regions configured for optically-pumped stimulated emission of photons. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20110249695 | Optically Pumped Laser - Concepts of the present disclosure may be employed to optimize optical pumping and ensure high modal gain in the active region of an optically pumped laser source by establishing an optical coupling gap such that the pump waveguide mode field overlaps the active gain region associated with the signal waveguide. The optical coupling gap is tailored to be sufficiently large to ensure that a significant active gain region length is required for absorption and sufficiently small to ensure that the pump waveguide mode field P overlaps the active gain region. In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, the pump waveguide core is displaced from the signal waveguide core by an optical coupling gap g in a lateral direction that is approximately perpendicular to the optical pumping axis. A decayed intensity portion of the pump waveguide mode field extends into the active gain region to optically pump the active gain region and form an optical signal propagating along the longitudinal optical signal axis of the signal waveguide core. | 10-13-2011 |

Optical mode is shifted away from high acceptor concentrations in p-type layers through manipulation of indium concentration and thickness of the n-side waveguide layer. Dopant and compositional profiles of the p-side cladding layer and the p-side waveguide layer are tailored to reduce optical loss and increased wall plug efficiency. | 03-22-2012 |

| 20090011389 | SIMPLIFIED PORTABLE IN-THE-VEHICLE ROAD SIMULATOR - The portable simulation system is a computer-based driving simulator, which uses an actual drive-by-wire vehicle as an input device, and a portable display to present a simulated Virtual Driving Environment (VDE) to the driver. The vehicle remains immobile with engine switched off. Embedded vehicle sensors are being used as simulator controls connecting to a portable computer via OBD II or similar on-board interface. A portable computer runs simulation software or a computer game. Electronic suspension actuators, wherever available, may be used to improve simulation experience by providing a limited vehicle tilt motion. Certain on-board vehicle's computers, including computers for mapping, gaming or entertainment, may be used to run simulation software, thereby reducing the simulator to a software application. Described driving simulator does not require external power source and can be operated at any parking space using any drive-by wire vehicle, including driver's own vehicle. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20110131026 | PORTABLE IN-THE-VEHICLE ROAD SIMULATOR - The portable simulation system is a computer-based driving simulator, which uses an actual vehicle as an input device, and a portable display to present a Virtual Driving Environment (VDE) to the driver. Vehicle's steered wheels are placed atop of the turntables permitting free operation of the steering wheel. The vehicle remains immobile while its engine and power steering can be turned off during the simulation. External non-invasive sensors can be placed under the gas and brake pedals, permitting any vehicle to be used in the simulator, including the driver's own vehicle. A digital interface to the vehicle's systems, like OBD II, can be used to increase the fidelity of the simulation. A portable computer used for driving simulation and VDE presentation provides a low cost simulation option. A simple configuration of the portable simulator does not require an external power source and can be set-up and operated at any parking space. Possible applications of the simulation system include driver training and testing. | 06-02-2011 |
