Publication number: 20140123543Abstract: A pest detector (1) for actively detecting pest activity within the environs of a structure. The pest detector includes a pest detection unit (2) that detects pest activity through the analysis of sounds of pest activity within a pest bait. The pest bait is typically timber or cellulose material (3). Upon detection of pest activity, a signal is sent to wireless transmitting device which transmits a radio frequency signal which includes data identifying the pest detector. Advantageously, the radio frequency is in the cellular radio frequency spectrum and is transmitted via the cellular radio network to a remote base station. The signal can be in the form of a short message service message. In this way, the pest detector can be remotely monitored and any pest activity dealt with appropriately. The pest detector can be used within a pest detection system and the pest detection unit can be retrofitted to known pest monitoring systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2012Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: Edith Cowan UniversityInventor: Adam Osseiran

Patent number: 8197147Abstract: The present invention provides an optical connection component which comprises a solid state laser component for emitting a modulated beam of light in response to an applied electrical signal. The optical connection component also comprises an optical lens positioned relative to the solid state laser component at a predetermined position in which the optical lens reduces divergence of the emitted beam of light. The optical lens is formed at the predetermined position in a manner such that the optical lens is immobile relative to the solid state laser component. The optical connection component further comprises an optical waveguide having a core for guiding the light. The optical waveguide has first and second end-portions. The first end-portion is positioned for coupling the modulated light from the optical lens into the core.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2006Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignees: Edith Cowan University, Ytel Photonics Inc.Inventors: Yong Tak Lee, Kamal Alameh

Publication number: 20120082413Abstract: The present disclosure provides an optical connection system which comprises optical components that include a plurality of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) for emitting modulated light in response to applied electrical signals and a plurality of receivers for receiving the emitted light. The optical components are arranged in at least two monolithically integrated modules each comprising at least two of the optical components. The optical connection system further comprises at least one light guiding component for guiding the light between the VCSELs and the receivers. The optical connection system also comprises coupling elements for coupling the at least one light guiding component to the monolithically integrated modules such that in use light is transmitted between modules via the at least one light guiding component.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2010Publication date: April 5, 2012Applicant: Edith Cowan UniversityInventors: Kamal Alameh, Yong Tak Lee

Patent number: 8021903Abstract: Provided are a method of fabricating a microlens using selective etching of a compound semi-conductor and a method of fabricating a photoelectric device having the microlens. The formation of the microlens includes patterning a compound semiconductor layer and removing a lateral surface of the compound semiconductor layer to form a roughly hemispheric lens. The lateral surface of the compound semiconductor layer is removed by a digital alloy method. In particular, the lateral surface of the compound semiconductor layer is removed by a wet etching process.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2006Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignees: Ytel Photonics Inc., Edith Cowan UniversityInventors: Ki-Soo Chang, Yong-Tak Lee, Alameh Kamal
