Abstract: An implantable vital sign sensor including a housing including a first portion, the first portion defining a first open end, a second open end opposite the first end, and a lumen there through, the first portion being sized to be implanted substantially entirely within the blood vessel wall of the patient. A sensor module configured to measure a blood vessel blood pressure waveform is included, the sensor module having a proximal portion and a distal portion, the distal portion being insertable within the lumen and the proximal portion extending outward from the first open end.

Abstract: A detection method for a MIMO system receiver in which a linear detection is carried out in order to provide an equalised vector. This equalised vector is represented in a reduced basis obtained from the reduction of the channel matrix. It undergoes an iterative noise cancellation process in the representation according to the reduced basis. Upon each iteration, a search is carried out for the component of the equalised vector in the reduced basis located the furthest from an area unperturbed by noise surrounding the product constellation with a tolerance margin, and the point representative of the equalised vector of this area by subtracting therefrom a noise vector in the direction of this component, the module whereof is equal to a fraction of the tolerance margin. The iterative cancellation converges when the equalised vector belongs to the area unperturbed by noise.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing holographic stereograms. Holographic stereograms have made possible the creation of holograms of both real objects in natural or studio lighting and virtual objects created using three-dimensional graphics. There are several approaches for creating holograms from digital graphics. This invention discusses the application of the light valve to the process along with other related developments. Artists can now produce high quality inexpensive, medium-format holograms using this direct-link to digital media. Future developments will lead to even higher resolution Digital Image-Light-Amplifier (D-ILA) systems.

Abstract: A method and circuit is disclosed for providing a control signal to a laser cavity controller. The cavity has two completely reflective surfaces. A long lived laser medium stores energy within the cavity. A computer generated waveform generated from enough values to appear substantially smooth after being amplified is provided to a control circuit having a Pockels cell or a Bragg cell. By controlling the amplitude of the computer generated waveform, the output pulse of the laser cavity is controlled.

Abstract: An amplifier for optical signals is disclosed. The amplifier includes a source of optical pump power and a containment body for substantially containing the pump power at a predetermined power intensity. At least one guided signal path passes through the containment body, the signal path being capable of carrying at least one optical signal component. The source of optical pump power is coupled to the containment body. In one embodiment the containment body is a transparent material surrounded by a material having a lower index of a fraction. Pump power is contained within the containment body by means of total internal reflection (TIR). In another embodiment the containment body is formed from a metallic reflective material which surrounds the guided signal paths passing through the containment body.
