  • Publication number: 20110149398
    Abstract: Described is a means for communication, enabling message transmission faster than the speed of light between two separated locations. A photon source feeds a splitter, which allows a single photon to split between flowing down the left input side and the right output side. On the left, the photon enters a phase splitter, which produces an in-phase and inverted phase signal. With the delay switch at zero delay, both signals arrive together at the combiner with opposite phase, canceling each other out. With the delay switch set to half a wavelength, no cancellation results and the signal passes unabated through the combiner. In this mode, approximately, fifty percent of the photons register at each detector, which are equidistant from the photon source. In the former mode, (delay switch set to zero) much more of the photons appear at the output detector, and no signal appears at the input detector. Consider the simplified schematic that follows.

  • Patent number: 4057768
    Abstract: A variable increment phase locked loop circuit designed for use in a digital data communications system wherein a data input signal is synchronized with a local feedback signal by means of comparing the data input signal and the local feedback signal, and providing frequency adjustments to the feedback signal that are proportional to the instantaneous deviation between the data input signal and the feedback signal. In one embodiment, the circuit is not responsive to deviations between the data input signal and the feedback signal that are less than a preset threshold value. The output of the circuit is useful as a stabilized system clock signal.
