  • Patent number: 8982340
    Abstract: A method for conducting fast Brillouin optical time domain analysis for dynamic sensing of optical fibers is provided herein. The method includes the following stages: injecting a pump pulse signal into a first end of an optical fiber and a probe signal into a second end of the optical fiber, wherein the probe and the pump pulse signals exhibit a frequency difference between them that is appropriate for an occurrence of a Brillouin effect; alternating the frequency of either the probe or the pulse signals, so as the alternated signal exhibits a series of signal sections, each signal section having a predefined common duration and a different frequency; measuring the Brillouin probe gain for each one of the alternating frequencies; and extracting physical properties of the optical fiber throughout its length at sample points associated with the sampled time and the frequencies, based on the measured Brillouin probe gain.

  • Patent number: 8966342
    Abstract: Data that are stored in cells of a multi-bit-per cell memory, according to a systematic or non-systematic ECC, are read and corrected (systematic ECC) or recovered (non-systematic ECC) in accordance with estimated probabilities that one or more of the read bits are erroneous. In one method of the present invention, the estimates are a priori. In another method of the present invention, the estimates are based only on aspects of the read bits that include significances or bit pages of the read bits. In a third method of the present invention, the estimates are based only on values of the read bits. Not all the estimates are equal.

  • Patent number: 8938664
    Abstract: A representation of a codeword is decoded by applying a first decoder of the codeword to the representation of the codeword. If applying the first decoder fails to decode the representation of the codeword then a second decoder of the codeword is applied to the representation of the codeword. Preferably, applying the first decoder consumes less power and is faster than applying the second decoder. Data are ported by encoding the data as a codeword, exporting the codeword to a corrupting medium, importing a representation of the codeword, and applying a first decoder to the representation of the codeword. If applying the first decoder fails to decode the representation of the codeword then a second decoder of the codeword is applied to the representation of the codeword.

  • Publication number: 20150001164
    Abstract: To remove a contaminant from a liquid, a pulsed electrical arc discharge is effected between two electrodes immersed in the liquid, thereby creating a plurality of particles within the liquid. One or both of the electrodes is metallic, for example iron or titanium. Before the pulsed electrical arc discharge is terminated, another step that promotes destruction of the contaminant by particles, such as removing the particles from the liquid or adding an oxidizer to the liquid, is performed. In the case of the extra step being adding an oxidizer to the liquid, preferably the termination of the pulsed electrical arc discharge is followed by allowing the liquid and the particles therein to age.
