  • Denormalized data object having supplemental attribtues for core data model objects
    Patent number: 12235801
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques and solutions for storing data in a way that facilitates the update and creation of data models, as well as conserving computing resources when accessing such data. A number of data objects can be included in a data model, such as a core data model that can be used in various jurisdictions. A supplemental data object is created that includes data relevant to data objects in the data model. For example, the supplemental data object can include localization attributes. The supplemental data object can be considered as denormalized. A request for data can retrieve data from a data object in the data model, as well as data in the supplemental data object. Different sets of attributes can be retrieved from the supplemental data object based on a type associated with a data request for a data model object.

  • Independent control of emission wavelength and output power of a semiconductor laser
    Patent number: 11469570
    Abstract: Methods for driving a tunable laser with integrated tuning elements are disclosed. The methods can include modulating the tuning current and laser injection current such that the laser emission wavelength and output power are independently controllable. In some examples, the tuning current and laser injection current are modulated simultaneously and a wider tuning range can result. In some examples, one or both of these currents is sinusoidally modulated. In some examples, a constant output power can be achieved while tuning the emission wavelength. In some examples, the output power and tuning can follow a linear relationship. In some examples, injection current and tuning element drive waveforms necessary to achieve targeted output power and tuning waveforms can be achieved through optimization based on goodness of fit values between the targeted and actual output power and tuning waveforms.

  • Vernier effect DBR lasers incorporating integrated tuning elements
    Patent number: 11437779
    Abstract: Disclosed is a Vernier effect DBR laser that has uniform laser injection current pumping along the length of the laser. The laser can include one or more tuning elements, separate from the laser injection element, and these tuning elements can be used to control the temperature or modal refractive index of one or more sections of the laser. The refractive indices of each diffraction grating can be directly controlled by temperature changes, electro optic effects, or other means through the one or more tuning elements. With direct control of the temperature and/or refractive indices of the diffraction gratings, the uniformly pumped Vernier effect DBR laser can be capable of a wider tuning range. Additionally, uniform pumping of the laser through a single electrode can reduce or eliminate interfacial reflections caused by, for example, gaps between metal contacts atop the laser ridge, which can minimize multi-mode operation and mode hopping.

  • FERMENTED CEREAL
    Publication number: 20220211087
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cereal product comprising a fermented slurry of rice flour made from koji rice (fermented rice).
