Abstract: A system includes a detector, a microring device, and a control device. The detector may be configured to receive a first beam and a second beam, perform optical-to-electrical conversion on the first beam to obtain a first current signal, perform optical-to-electrical conversion on the second beam to obtain a second current signal, and determine a differential current signal between the first current signal and the second current signal, where the first beam and the second beam are obtained based on input light of the adjustment and control system. The control device may be configured to receive the differential current signal, and determine a control signal based on the differential current signal, where the control signal is used to adjust an operating point of the microring device, so that the microring device operates at a target operating point.

Abstract: A quick coupler structure includes a male and a female coupler. The male coupler internally receives a fixed valve core surrounded by a spring and a connecting tube for connecting to a coupling platform at an upper part of the female coupler. The connecting tube is externally provided with sealing members to enhance airtight connection with the male coupler. The coupling platform defines a central thru-hole with a movable valve received therein to normally close it. When the fixed valve core is caused to expose from the connecting tube, it pushes the movable valve out of the central thru-hole to open the latter, allowing the male and the female coupler to communicate with each other. The sealing member won't be turned or loosened by a shearing force when the male and the female coupler are assembled or disassembled, giving the quick coupler structure upgraded air-tightness, pressure resistance and coupling reliability.

Abstract: A photonic apparatus for use in radiofrequency beamforming, with support for multiple users, is provided. An optical crossbar array is coupled to a transmit or receive antenna array. Controllable devices such as attenuators or switches operate to produce complex-weighted versions of optical input signals, and the complex weightings are generated in support of beamforming operations. Delay elements can also be provided to compensate for synchronization losses due to different optical path lengths in the array.

Abstract: Providing cognitive responses with an electronic message system includes predicting an urgency level corresponding to an electronic message received by the system based on detecting pre-defined features within the message and assigning a classification to the message based on the detected features. The message and corresponding urgency level can be mapped to a response action based on the classification assigned to the message. A notification of the response action and corresponding urgency level can be generated.
