  • Patent number: 11962030
    Abstract: An integrated, unitary battery pack may be formed and used as part of the structural support for a vehicle frame. The unitary battery pack includes arrays cells having all positive and negative electrical terminals aligned in-plane on a common face of the product assembly. The unitary battery pack includes cooling components for passively or actively cooling the cell arrays. The unitary battery pack is encased in a potting material that allows that forms part of the structure support for the unitary battery pack. The unitary batter pack may be integrated into the vehicle with or without additional support structures.

  • Patent number: 10823987
    Abstract: An electro-optic device may include a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and one or more components. The one or more components may apply a DC bias with dither to a first branch and a second branch of the MZM and to arms of the first branch, and may determine a second harmonic of a first return signal. The one or more components may apply a DC bias with phase-shifted dither to the first branch and the second branch or to the arms of the first branch, and determine a second harmonic of a second return signal. The phase-shifted dither may be out of phase from the dither and have a frequency that matches a frequency of the dither. The one or more components may determine whether arms of the second branch of the MZM are operating at null, and may selectively adjust DC biases applied to the arms of the second branch.

  • Publication number: 20190227352
    Abstract: An electro-optic device may comprise a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and one or more components. The one or more components may apply a child DC bias with dither to arms of a first branch of the MZM and to arms of a second branch of the MZM, and determine a second harmonic of a first return signal. The one or more components may apply a child DC bias with phase-shifted dither to the arms of the first branch or to the arms of the second branch, and determine a second harmonic of a second return signal. The one or more components may determine, based on the second harmonics, whether the first branch and the second branch are operating at quadrature, and may selectively adjust parent DC biases, applied to the first branch and the second branch, based on whether the first branch and the second branch are operating at quadrature.

  • Patent number: 9866315
    Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a switching engine, an optical signal. The optical signal may carry a super-channel that includes a plurality of sub-carriers to be directed toward respective output ports. The switching engine may have a plurality of regions of pixels on which respective sub-carriers, of the plurality of sub-carriers, are incident. The method may include applying, by the switching engine, respective single beam steering gratings to first, overlapping, areas of the plurality of regions of pixels. The method may include applying, by the switching engine, one or more respective pluralities of beam steering gratings to second, overlapping areas of the plurality of regions of pixels. The method may include directing, based on the single beam steering gratings and the one or more pluralities of beam steering gratings, parts of the optical signal toward the respective output ports.

  • Patent number: 7857690
    Abstract: A method of positioning a concave in a threshing section of an agricultural machine including the steps of selecting and maintaining. The selecting step includes the selecting of a set pressure, a minimum separation distance of the concave from a rotating member and a maximum separation distance of the concave from the rotating member. The maintaining step includes the maintaining of a hydraulic fluid pressure in a hydraulic concave support system that supports the concave at substantially the set pressure while the concave is positioned between the minimum separation distance and the maximum separation distance when crop material is being transported between the concave and the rotating member.

  • Patent number: 6310911
    Abstract: In a method of detecting signal degradation conditions in synchronous digital signals, the error monitors first detect the presence and/or absence of a particular bit error ratio by integrating received parity errors over time. Subsequently a monitor client reacts to notifications from bit error rate monitors that the state of the presence/absence of specific bit error ratios has changed to generate an alarm condition when appropriate.
