  • Patent number: 6975294
    Abstract: A laser imaging system with reduced speckle is disclosed. The laser imaging system includes spatially superpositioned 1-D arrays or alternatively 2-D arrays of independent emitters of laser radiation, with each emitter having a spectral bandwidth ??i centered at some arbitrary wavelength ?0i. The elements of the array are allowed, by design, to have a slightly different central wavelength, thereby creating an ensemble bandwidth ?? which is much greater than the bandwidth ??i of any individual emitter in the array. The resulting increased bandwidth reduces speckle in a displayed image.

  • Publication number: 20040125803
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing multicast traffic in a VLAN-tagged environment is disclosed. The method, implemented by a cross-VLAN switching device, comprises the steps of receiving a multicast stream within a first VLAN of a plurality of VLANs configured thereon, and internally distributing the multicast stream towards substantially all the multicast group members registered at the cross-VLAN switching device to receive the multicast stream. Distribution of the multicast stream preferably comprises the steps of internally routing the multicast stream from the first VLAN to each VLAN in which there is a multicast group member registered to receive the multicast stream and then switching the multicast stream from each VLAN in which it is present in a cross-VLAN switching device to substantially all of the multicast group members registered to receive the multicast stream.

  • Patent number: 6627610
    Abstract: Viral morphogenesis, production, release or uncoating can be inhibited by effecting inhibition of prenylation of, or inhibition of post-prenylation reactions of, at least one viral protein. The use of inhibitors of prenylation, and post-prenylation reactions, for example, inhibitors of the mevalonate and prenyl group synthesis pathways, inhibitors of prenyl group transferases and mimics of the prenylation target CXXX box are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6619439
    Abstract: A mechanical release for an electric parking brake has a first cable engaging a housing. A second cable is connected to a lever that is pivotally supported on the housing by a pivot pin. A locking member engages the lever and prevents rotation of the lever when tension is applied to the cables. When the locking member is released, the lever is free to rotate, reducing tension in the cables and freeing the parking brake system.

  • Patent number: 6320707
    Abstract: A piezoelectric translator has a flat ribbon geometry and a large translation length perpendicular to the surface of the bridge. The translator includes a platform supporting the optic or micro-optic element and a slender piezo actuation system for displacing the platform. A position sensing system provides feedback to the actuation system regarding displacement of the platform. The actuation system includes a plurality of bridge actuators wherein each actuator includes a flat piezoelectric ribbon and leaf spring cap bonded to the ribbon, in single- or double-sided geometry. A stacked bridge geometry is also provided and allows increased displacement for a given applied voltage. Two collinearly placed single span bridge actuators or two-span bridge actuators can be used to provide linear translations with micro-rotation control.

  • Patent number: 6109878
    Abstract: A system and a method are provided for velocity modulation to create pulseless delivery of a fluid by a pump, particularly a piston pump. The system and method require input of data, such as a user-entered dispense rate or analog current or voltage input proportional to a desired output rate. A timer or counter is pre-loaded from a lookup table stored in a processor. The time or counter is started and, upon detection of an overflow condition, the motor and table pointer are incremented one step. As a result, pulseless operation of a pump is achieved.

  • Patent number: 5729678
    Abstract: A bus monitor system comprises eight identical programmable monitor circuits that are each connected to a monitored bus and to a local 16-bit event bus. There are three interfaces to the event bus within each monitor circuit. One interface asserts a predetermined bit pattern on the event bus when match conditions occur between bit patterns on the monitored bus and predetermined bit patterns stored in monitor circuit registers. A second interface asserts a signal on an external pin when bit patterns on the event bus match a predetermined bit pattern stored in a monitor circuit register. A third interface asserts a predetermined bit pattern on the event bus when an external device has asserted a signal on an external pin. Each monitor circuit is capable of reading and asserting any of the bits of the event bus. The event bus is used to enable or disable monitor circuit interfaces.
