Abstract: An optoelectronic subassembly for use in fiber optic communications systems where multiple parallel optical fibers are used in transmitting and receiving optical signals. The subassembly is adapted for optically connecting with a ferrule and electrically connecting to a larger computing or communications system. The ferrule supports a set of optical communications fibers disposed in an array. The subassembly supports an optoelectronic device having a set of photoactive components also disposed in an array corresponding to the fiber array. The optoelectronic device is operative for either converting photonic signals to electrical signals (in a receiver) or electrical signals to photonic signals (in a transmitter). The optoelectronic subassembly includes a carrier which is precisely fabricated using photolithography techniques for aligning and supporting the optoelectronic device and photoactive components within it.

Abstract: An image recognition system for recognizing a target having a color and a pattern includes a plurality of active eyes for recognizing a target. Each active eye is an information processing unit formed in a closed frame defined on a display screen, and each active eye is movable on the display screen, wherein each active eye moves until a color within the closed frame of the active eye is the color of the target in a memory, wherein plural active eyes are located at a boundary between the target and the background on the display screen, thereby forming a colony having a shape. When the shape of the colony matches the pattern of the target in the memory, the target is identified. The time of each processing cycle is very short, and thus, the movement of the object can be traced without a time lag.
