Abstract: A pulse modulation laser writing system generates a motion control file for controlled motion of a sample under modulated laser beam exposure and generates a laser script file for generating a sequence of laser writing processes, such as, ablation, welding, texturing, and dosing, the sample while under motion control. The system enables laser writing processing of complex multimaterial samples in a single manufacturing process.

Abstract: A method for preamble detection in mobile unit to base unit wireless telephony sets a preamble detection threshold based upon a Beaulieu series computation dependent upon preamble correlation data. This preamble detection threshold adjusts for noise by assuming the noise is additive White Gaussian noise (AWGN) with a known variance. The method determines the threshold for achieving a probability of false detection of the preamble from noise input of less than 0.001.

Abstract: A programmable customized universal digital listening system is provided with one or more digital signal processor chips which are implemented as one or more digital filters whose parameters are established by one or more erasable programmable read-only memories (EPROMs). The information included in the EPROMs directed to the parameters of the digital filters are determined based upon the user's response to various audio signals provided from an audiologist. Based upon these responses, the EPROMs are programmed. Additionally, this listening system is provided with an additional digital filter which changes its responses based upon the frequency of any background noise.
