  • Publication number: 20250030485
    Abstract: Configurable demultiplexing circuits for intensity-based optical communications are designed to detect individual input optical signals that have been combined in an intensity-based multiplexed group of signals. An array of repeating cells is used to detect a specific signal source whose input signal has been multiplexed with the input signals of other signal sources based only on their respective intensity. Separate demultiplexing circuits are used to detect different input signals. The arrays of repeating cells, which include adjustable attenuators, optical detectors, and logical circuitry (XOR gates), can make simultaneous measurements of all demultiplexing ports and detect the presence of the input optical signals, ideally at gigabit speeds or higher.

  • Publication number: 20250030605
    Abstract: A system polls a collection of distributed Network Repository Functions (NRFs) of a telecommunications network for status data of a collection of Network Functions (NFs). The system receives status data of a current time slice from a time-series collection of states of the collection of NFs. The system generates an end-to-end network topology for the telecommunications network based on an aggregation of the status data and can detect an anomalous service area based on the end-to-end network topology.

  • Patent number: 12187348
    Abstract: A system for preventing rust and corrosion on vehicle drain holes utilizes a sealing gasket with a bottom opening. The gasket is configured to cover the vehicle drain hole. An exterior guard member has an upper shield component and a lower water and debris collection chamber having chamber drain holes. The guard member is configured to cover the sealing gasket, such that moisture and debris from the vehicle drain hole flows through the bottom opening of the gasket, into the collection chamber, and out through the chamber drain holes, thus eliminating water and other foreign debris from the area and thus providing a significant measure of protection to the drain holes in preventing rust and corrosion.

  • Patent number: 12184281
    Abstract: This application relates to control of semiconductor devices, in particular MOS devices, so as to reduce RTS/flicker noise. A circuit (100) includes a first MOS device (103, 104) and a bias controller (107). The circuit is operable in at least a first circuit state (PRO) in which the first MOS device is active to contribute to a first signal (Sout) and a second circuit state (PRST) in which the first MOS device does not contribute to the first signal. The bias controller is operable to control voltages at one or more terminals of the first MOS device to apply a pre-bias (VPB1, VPB2) during an instance of the second circuit state. The pre-bias is applied to set an occupancy state of charge carriers traps within the first MOS device, to limit noise during subsequent operation in the first circuit state. In embodiments, the bias controller is configured so that at least one parameter of the pre-bias is selectively variable in use based on one or more operating conditions.
