Abstract: Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) has enabled telecommunication service providers to provide multiple independent multi-gigabit channels on one optical fiber. To meet demands for improved performance, increased integration, reduced footprint, reduced power consumption, increased flexibility, re-configurability, and lower cost monolithic optical circuit technologies and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have become increasingly important. However, further integration via microoptoelectromechanical systems (MOEMS) of monolithically integrated optical waveguides upon a MEMS provide further integration opportunities and functionality options. Such MOEMS may include MOEMS mirrors and optical waveguides capable of deflection under electronic control. In contrast to MEMS devices where the MEMS is simply used to switch between two positions the state of MOEMS becomes important in all transition positions.

Abstract: A multi-platform vibro-kinetic system comprises a plurality of motion platforms each having actuators to be displaceable to produce vibro-kinetic effects. The system may obtain movements of one or more operator(s), interpret the movements of the operator and identifying from the movements an operator instruction for effect generation, and output a motion signal containing instructions for producing a vibro-kinetic effect on at least one of the motion platforms as a response to the operator instruction.

Abstract: Data center interconnections, which encompass WSCs as well as traditional data centers, have become both a bottleneck and a cost/power issue for cloud computing providers, cloud service providers and the users of the cloud generally. Fiber optic technologies already play critical roles in data center operations and will increasingly in the future. The goal is to move data as fast as possible with the lowest latency with the lowest cost and the smallest space consumption on the server blade and throughout the network.

Abstract: Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) has enabled telecommunication service providers to provide multiple independent multi-gigabit channels on one optical fiber. To Microoptoelectromechanical systems (MOEMS) integrating optical waveguides upon a MEMS can provide further integration opportunities and functionality options. Improvements to the design and implementation of MOEMS devices are presented where monolithically integrated optical waveguides are directly supported, moved and/or deformed upon a beam coupled to and manipulated by a MEMS. Accordingly, such MOEMS can provide programmable functionality by enabling alignment of the optical waveguide upon the MEMS to one of multiple optical waveguides disposed relative to the moving facet of the rotating optical waveguide.

Abstract: Securely storing data includes encrypting the data using a random key to provide obfuscated data, scrambling the obfuscated data to provide scrambled obfuscated data, generating a scramble schema indicating how to unscramble the scrambled obfuscated data, encrypting the scrambled obfuscated data to provide encrypted scrambled obfuscated data, splitting the scramble schema, and distributing separate portions of the scramble schema and separate portions of the encrypted scrambled obfuscated data to separate entities. The data may be private key data. Securely storing data may also include concatenating the random key on to the obfuscated data prior to scrambling the obfuscated data, wherein the random key is scrambled together with the obfuscated data. Scrambling the obfuscated data may use a Fisher Yates Shuffle mechanism. Securely storing data may also include generating and distributing a symmetric authentication key that is used to authenticate a first entity to a second entity.

Abstract: A joint assembly comprises a rotational joint member configured to be connected to a first component. A housing is configured to be connected to a second component or ground and defining an inner cavity. A translating member is received in the inner cavity of the housing and connected to the rotational joint member for concurrent translation relative to the housing. One or more levels of balls in the inner cavity between a housing surface and a surface of the translating member to support the translation of the translating member in the housing. A motion simulator featuring one or more of the joint assemblies is also provided.

Abstract: The present document describes a device and method for synchronizing a motion signal corresponding to a media content with a media signal for the media content, the motion signal being for controlling a motion feedback system. The method comprises: receiving a portion of the media signal; obtaining a fingerprint corresponding to the received portion of the media signal; from reference fingerprints associated with time positions of at least one reference media content, identifying a reference time position of the media content corresponding to the obtained fingerprint; obtaining the motion signal associated with the identified reference time position of the media content; and outputting the motion signal synchronized with the media signal using the identified reference time position of the media content for controlling the motion feedback system.

The patterned nanostructure modifies the refractive index of the magneto-optical crystal material below diffraction limit. The patterned nanostructure creates metamaterial effective properties that optimize core-cladding inside the magneto-optical crystal material to create the optical waveguide.

Abstract: A linear actuator comprises a motor for producing a bi-directional rotational output. A casing is connected to the motor at a proximal end, the casing having an inner cavity defining a joint surface. A threaded shaft is within the inner cavity of the casing and actuated by the motor for rotation.

A pair of traveling nuts is connected to the sliding tube assembly for moving with the sliding tube in the axial direction, the traveling nuts being operatively engaged to the threaded shaft for converting a rotational motion of the threaded shaft into a translation of the sliding tube, the traveling nuts being on opposite sides of a member of the sliding tube assembly connecting the traveling nuts to the sliding tube.
