Publication number: 20120075020Abstract: A network communication device includes a processor, an amplifier circuit, a matching circuit including a transmitting route and a coupling route, a storage module, and a detection and control module. The network communication device generate electronic signals, and outputs the electronic signals to a load via the transmitting route after the electronic signals being amplified and matched. Then the network communication device detects output signals and reflection signals of the coupling route to calculate a safety parameter accordingly, compares the calculated safety parameter with one or more safety parameter thresholds, and generates control signals to control the amplifier circuit. The network communication device determines if the load is abnormal according to the control signals and generates load abnormal signals if the load is abnormal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2010Publication date: March 29, 2012Applicants: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD., HONG FU JIN PRECISION INDUSTRY (ShenZhen) Co., LTDInventors: LI-BIN TSENG, DAN-DAN WU

Patent number: 7092640Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for communicating between a host optical systems controller and an optical subcontroller. A database residing in the optical subcontroller contains multiple possible valid command identifiers which define the format of any data following the command identifiers. Each device is equipped with a copy of the database. Each command identifier can be paired with a different action for a different device based on the database mapping. These command identifiers are sent from the host to the subcontroller with each command denoting a specific action to be taken by the subcontroller. Upon receipt of the command message, the subcontroller will determine the interpretation of a command identifier contained in the command message and execute the action associated with that command identifier. The subcontroller will then send a response message back to the host controller indicating the success or failure of the action denoted by the command identifier.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2001Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Dowslake Microsystems CorporationInventors: Dan Dan Yang, Greg Solberg

Patent number: 7068423Abstract: Circuits and systems for use in monitoring and adjusting an optical signal strength of an optical data transmission system. A closed feedback loop which automatically controls an optical device's output uses an analog operational amplifier based circuit instead of a conventional microprocessor that uses complex calculations. The parameters of the operational amplifier circuit are monitored and controlled by a microcontroller to provide flexible operational settings. The analog circuit containing discrete analog components is used as a power meter for measuring an optical power signal strength of an optical signal. The optical signal is tapped by an optical coupler and the signal is received by a photodetector. The output of the photodetector is received by the analog circuit which produces an intermediate signal based on the level of optical power in the optical signal. The intermediate signal is used to control an optical device.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2002Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Dowslake Microsystems CorporationInventors: Paul Vella, Dan Dan Yang

Patent number: 6823219Abstract: An architecture for use in controlling and managing optical functions and optical devices. A common microprocessor based control layer coordinates commands between optical devices and a user station. The control layer executes an operating system which handles data flow in the control layer. Generic commands from the user station causes the operating system to call specific subroutines the produce digital commands. These digital commands are then passed to a digital layer that interfaces with an analog layer. The analog layer is specifically developed to interface and work with a specific optical device. The analog layer thus directly controls the optical device including changing its settings based on input from the digital layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2001Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Assignee: Dowslake Microsystems CorporationInventors: Wayne Y.

Patent number: 6804464Abstract: A method and devices for individually controlling the signal strength of single or multiple optical channels. A controller module monitors the signal strength of channels and amplifies those that need amplifying while attenuating those that are too strong using the same Erbium doped fiber amplifier. A controllable compensation module receives at least one channel and, when required, can either amplify or attenuate the signal strength of the channel(s). The module can be constructed out of a single fiber with an associated pump laser. If the laser provides insufficient pumping power, the fiber acts as an attenuator. If the laser provides a higher level of pump power, the fiber acts as an amplifier.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2001Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignee: Dowslake Microsystems CorporationInventor: Dan Dan Yang

Patent number: 6697190Abstract: Methods and devices for controlling an optical device. In one embodiment, the optical device is directly controlled by an outside analog electrical signal. Depending on the voltage or current level of the electrical signal, the output of the optical device is changed accordingly. An operational amplifier may be used to amplify the analog electrical signal prior to the signal being received by the circuitry of the optical device. For maximum flexibility in control, a switch can be coupled to the operational amplifier so that either analog or digital control signals can be used.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2002Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignee: Dowslake Microsystems CorporationInventor: Dan Dan Yang

Patent number: 6484958Abstract: A caddy for dispensing fiber optic patch cord cables. The device has a housing inside of which a disk is rotatably mounted. A length of patch cord cable is wound around the circumference of the disk and an S-shaped channel is present on one side of the disk. The channel is sized to hold captive a section of the patch cord fiber optic cable, thereby preventing any loss of signal or damage to the patch cord fiber optic cable from undue bending stresses on the cable. The housing has an opening through which the two ends of the patch cord fiber optic cable protrude.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2001Date of Patent: November 26, 2002Assignee: Dowslake Microsystems CorporationInventors: Bing Xue, Stefan Ignaczak, Dan Dan Yang

Patent number: 6215584Abstract: A broadband optical amplifier that can provide a constant amplifier gain profile, correct for ASE noise, and minimize gain tilt by dynamically controlling different stages of the amplifier through a combination of gain, loss, and power control of each stage depending on input and the desired output level. The multiple stage amplifier has a central control circuit independently controlling each stage, the amplifier comprising a plurality of sequentially coupled stages, each stage being an attenuator stage, a gain setting sub-amplifier stage, or a power level setting stage. The central control circuit determines which stages are actively gain or power controlled.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1999Date of Patent: April 10, 2001Assignee: JDS Uniphase Inc.Inventors: Dan Dan Yang, Marc M.
