  • Patent number: 9800369
    Abstract: An endpoint element of a distributed antenna system includes processing circuitry configured for processing a plurality of digital signals for conditioning the signals and compression circuitry configured for compressing at least one of the digital signals according to a compression scheme to yield at least one compressed digital signal and compression settings. The digital signals are combined into a single digital stream and combined and time division multiplexed onto a serial data link with the compression settings. The digital signals are also transmitted with compression settings to another endpoint element over the serial data link.

  • Publication number: 20170244541
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating a jitter reduced clock signal from signal transmitted over a communication medium includes receiving, with high speed data interface circuitry, a modulated signal that includes a binary encoded data stream. A recovered clock signal is generated from the modulated signal and tracks the long-term drift in the modulated signal. A jitter reduced clock signal is generated by filtering the recovered clock signal with a filtering circuit having a bandwidth sufficient to remove jitter while allowing the jitter reduced clock signal to track the drift in the modulated signal.

  • Publication number: 20170066196
    Abstract: A system configured to facilitate formation of additive manufacturing objects is described. The system may obtain a virtual three-dimensional representation of an object, determine positions for a layered series of contour lines for the object based on the three-dimensional representation; and determine individual wave functions that correspond to a given contour line for a given layer. An individual wave function may indicate a three or more dimensional waveform pathway for an additive manufacturing platform to follow within a given layer when forming the given layer of the object. The system may control movement of the additive manufacturing platform to additively manufacture the object following waveform pathways. Controlling movement of the additive manufacturing platform based on the wave functions facilitates additively manufacturing objects without a need for support material for overhanging features.
