  • Publication number: 20230105039
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a machine-learned model is trained to predict a region and industry for an organization. This region and industry information can then be used as part of a data enrichment process where data regarding the organization is “tagged” with the predicted industry and region information, allowing for a benchmarking tool to readily group organizational data by region and/or industry for meaningful comparison. This allows or the benchmarking tool to scale, as without the machine-learned model it would be necessary for a human to assign a region and industry to each organization missing that information, which may work for small numbers of organizations but would be impractical for large numbers of organizations.

  • Publication number: 20150288146
    Abstract: A surface emitting laser apparatus is formed using a patterned silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-like substrate which is patterned with a buried sub-wavelength high contrast grating and adapted for bonding of a half-VCSEL device containing at least an active region and an upper mirror, to create a VCSEL. The wavelength of the VCSEL, or any individual VCSEL within an array of VCSEL devices, can be set in response to changing HCG characteristics of the lower mirror in the SOI-like substrate, or in the region above the lower mirror within the half-VCSEL. The inventive VCSEL device and fabrication method are beneficial for a number of application and devices.

  • Publication number: 20140353530
    Abstract: A dual usage HCG VCSEL detector is provided with a high contrast grating (HCG) reflector first reflector that has a two dimensional periodic structure. The two dimensional structure is a periodic structure that is a symmetric structure with periodic repeating. The symmetrical structure provides that polarization modes of light are undistinguishable. A second reflector is in an opposing relationship to the first reflector. A tunable optical cavity is between the first and second reflectors. An active region is positioned in the cavity between the first and second reflectors. The photodetector is polarization independent. An MQW light absorber is included converts light to electrons. A dual usage HCG VCSEL-detector includes a high contrast grating (HCG) reflector first reflector, and a second reflector in an opposing relationship to the first reflector. A tunable optical cavity is between the first and second reflectors. An active region is positioned in the cavity between the first and second reflectors.

  • Patent number: 8755118
    Abstract: Planar lenses and reflectors are described comprising subwavelength high-contrast gratings (HCG) having high index of refraction grating elements spaced apart from one another in straight and/or curved segments and surrounded by low index material. The high-contrast grating is configured to receive an incident wave which excites multiple modes within the high-contrast grating and is focused for reflection and/or transmission by said high contrast grating. The width of the high contrast grating bars vary along a distribution direction of the grating bars which is perpendicular to the length of the grating bars and/or varies along the length of one or more grating bars to focus said reflection and/or transmission. The HCG is configured to provide double focusing, whose use is exemplified within a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) structure using focusing HCG structures for both the top and bottom mirrors.

  • Patent number: 8553535
    Abstract: A method includes sending a data packet, or a copy of the data packet, from a first video distribution hub to a second video distribution hub. The first video distribution hub is coupled to a first link and to a second link. The method also includes, in response to the second link being intact, sending the data packet, or the copy of the data packet, from the first video distribution hub to the second video distribution hub via a primary network path that includes the second link and excludes the first link. The method also includes, in response to a failure of the second link, sending the data packet, or the copy of the data packet, from the first video distribution hub to the second video distribution hub via a backup network path that includes the first link and that does not include the second link.
