Abstract: An optical communication component includes three or more couplers, a pair of waveguides, a phase shifter, a detector, and a controller. Each of the couplers multiplexes two input optical signals and two-branch outputs the multiplexed optical signals. Each of the pair of waveguides connects between the couplers and outputs each of the optical signals two-branch output from one of the couplers to another one of the couplers. The phase shifter, included in each of the waveguides, adjusts a phase amount of each of the optical signals passing through the waveguides. The detector detects an amount of power of the optical signal that has been subjected to phase adjustment and that is two-branch output from a most downstream coupler, from among the couplers, located in the traveling direction of the optical signal. The controller controls, based on the detected amount of power, each of the phase shifters.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are systems, methods, devices, and machine-readable mediums for improved communications between a software-defined radio front-end device and a network-based computing device. Rather than packetize samples together, same bit positions from multiple ADC samples may be packetized together. If a Quality of Service (QoS) metric of the network connection between the RF front-end device and the network-based processing computing drops below a threshold, the RF front-end device may prioritize sending packets with the more significant bits over packets with less significant bits. In other examples, the RF front-end device may prioritize samples corresponding to certain data types over other data types.

Abstract: Systems and methods directed to a service that analyzes media and outputs an evaluation of the media based on inconsistencies within media and differences between source media and the media, are described. In one aspect, a media file may be obtained at a computing resource service provider. The media may be analyzed to generate media results that indicate inconsistencies within the media file and/or differences between the media file and corresponding source media registered with the computing resource service provider. An indication of a significance of the inconsistencies within the media file and/or differences between the registered source media and the media may be generated based on the media results. In some aspects, source media may be registered and one or more artifacts inserted into the media to enable more efficient comparisons of whether other media is consistent with the registered source media.
