Abstract: The present invention can operate a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier at ultrahigh speed using a polar return-to-zero (RZ) modulation method, and operate a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) whose modulation bandwidth is limited at ultrahigh speed by generating signals vertically symmetrical using a newly suggested polar RZ signal generator when generating an amplitude modulation signal at a transmission end. The present invention can overcome the problem that a modulation speed cannot be increased to 10 Gb/s or above due to signal distortion by inter-symbol-interference when generating an ultrahigh speed amplitude modulation signal using an RSOA of low price having a very narrow modulation bandwidth in an RSOA-based optical network.

While holding a nonvolatile memory retention capability and a multiple rewriting endurance as the distinctive features of a ferroelectric device, the disclosed ferroelectric device is wider in memory window and more adaptively made microfiner than a conventional ferroelectric device that has used a ferroelectric mainly constituted of Sr—Bi—Ta—O as an oxide of strontium, bismuth and tantalum.

The gate stack is heat-treated to cause the first ferroelectric to develop its ferroelectricity.

Abstract: An optical transmitter that includes a wavelength tunable laser diode (LD) with a narrowed emission linewidth is disclosed. The optical transmitter further includes a feedback unit and an optical attenuator. The feedback unit, receiving a portion of laser light of the wavelength tunable LD, generates feedback light by rotating the polarization of the laser light by 90±5°, and returns thus generated feedback light in the wavelength tunable LD. The optical attenuator adjusts power of the feedback light to reduce a line wide of the laser light, or frequency noises thereof.

Abstract: An adjustable band or clamp or non-adjustable clamp is placed about the greater curvature of the stomach in a vertical orientation. The band or clamp completely compartmentalizes the stomach between a small vertical pouch and the fundus and body of the stomach. The fundus and body of the stomach are excluded from nutrients and are separated from a long narrow channel where the food travels. A small passage at the level of the antrum allows gastric juices to empty from the fundus and body of the stomach. The clamp may be applied during open surgery in laproscopic surgery or using a single port technique, or through any natural orifice in NOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic surgery) or using a hybrid surgical technique.

Also described are improved poly(aryl ether ketone) produced using the invention 4,4?-DFBP.

Abstract: A dispatch stage of a processor core dispatches designated operations (e.g. load/store operations) to a temporary queue when the resources to execute the designated operations are not available. Once the resources become available to execute an operation at the temporary queue, the operation is transferred to a scheduler queue where it can be picked for execution. By dispatching the designated operations to the temporary queue, other operations behind the designated operations in a program order are made available for dispatch to the scheduler queue, thereby improving instruction throughput at the processor core.
