  • ELECTRO-OPTIC MODULATOR UTILIZING COPPER-TUNGSTEN ELECTRODES FOR IMPROVED THERMAL STABILITY
    Publication number: 20220075214
    Abstract: A high-power electro-optic modulator (EOM) is formed to use specialized electrodes of a material selected to have a CTE that matches the CTE of the modulator's crystal. Providing CTE matching reduces the presence of stress-induced birefringence, which is known to cause unwanted modulation of the propagating optical signal. The specialized electrodes are preferably formed of a CuW metal matrix composite having a W/Cu ratio selected to create the matching CTE value. Advantageously, the CuW-based electrodes also exhibit a thermal conductivity about an order of magnitude greater than conventional electrode material (brass, Kovar) and thus provide additional thermal stability to the EOM's performance.

  • BEAM INDICATIONS DURING RANDOM ACCESS PROCEDURES
    Publication number: 20220078852
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may monitor multiple synchronization signal resources, each synchronization signal resource associated with a beam of a set of beams and may determine that multiple candidate beams of the set of beams satisfy a channel quality threshold. The UE may transmit an indication that the multiple candidate beams satisfy the channel quality threshold. For example, the UE may transmit a single random access message on a physical random access channel (PRACH) resource associated with multiple candidate beams, or may transmit multiple random access messages, each one on a different PRACH resource associated with a different candidate beam. The UE may receive an indication of one of the candidate beams from the base station and may establish a connection with the base station using the indicated candidate beam.

  • PERCEPTUAL ASSOCIATIVE MEMORY FOR A NEURO-LINGUISTIC BEHAVIOR RECOGNITION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20220075946
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating a syntax for a neuro-linguistic model of input data obtained from one or more sources. A stream of words of a dictionary built from a sequence of symbols are received. The symbols are generated from an ordered stream of normalized vectors generated from input data. Statistics for combinations of words co-occurring in the stream are evaluated. The statistics includes a frequency upon which the combinations of words co-occur. A model of combinations of words based on the evaluated statistics is updated. The model identifies statistically relevant words. A connected graph is generated. Each node in the connected graph represents one of the words in the stream. Edges connecting the nodes represent a probabilistic relationship between words in the stream. Phrases are identified based on the connected graph.
