Patent number: 12038346Abstract: According to examples, a system for measuring polarization dependent loss (PDL) for a device-under-test (DUT) may include a tunable laser, a polarization element and a power meter. The tunable laser may emit an optical signal to sweep across an optical band at a constant rate. The polarization element may scramble polarizations states of the optical signal emitted from the tunable laser. The power meter may take power measurements associated with the optical signal emitted from the tunable laser, wherein the power measurements from the power meter are used to determine a maximum insertion loss (IL) and a minimum insertion loss (IL) associated with the device-under-test (DUT). An average insertion loss (IL) and a polarization dependent loss (PDL) for the device-under-test (DUT) may be calculated based on the maximum insertion loss (IL) and the minimum insertion loss (IL) associated with the device-under-test (DUT).Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.Inventors: Luis Andre Neves Paiva Fernandes, Robert Matthew Adams, Christopher Russell Wagner, Joshua Benjamin Julius Philipson, Eugene Chan

Publication number: 20240095338Abstract: An instance secrets management isolated runtime environment is launched at a virtualization server, and utilizes a subset of memory assigned to a compute instance. The subset of memory is inaccessible from entities external to the runtime environment. A secrets manager of the runtime environment provides a security artifact to an application, running at the compute instance, which has requested access to a resource. The artifact is generated by the secrets manager using a security secret associated with the compute instance; the secret is not accessible to programs external to the runtime environment. In response to a determination that the artifact is valid, the application obtains access to the resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joshua Benjamin Levinson, Colm MacCarthaigh, Alexander Graf, Iulia-Daniela Doras-Prodan, Petre Eftime

Publication number: 20240073297Abstract: Various embodiments of apparatuses and methods for multi-cast, multiple unicast, and unicast distribution of messages with time synchronized delivery are described. In some embodiments, the disclosed system and methods include a reference timekeeper providing a reference clock to one or more host computing devices. The one or more host computing devices host compute instances, and also contain respective isolated timing hardware outside the control of the compute instances. The isolated timing hardware of the one or more host computing devices then receive respective packets, and obtain the same time to deliver the respective packets. Each isolated timing hardware provides either the packet, or information to access the packet, to its respective destination compute instance subsequent to determining that the same specified time to deliver the packet has occurred. Thus, the respective packets are delivered near simultaneously to the one or more destination compute instances.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Said Bshara, Alan Michael Judge, Erez Izenberg, Julien Ridoux, Joshua Benjamin Levinson, Anthony Nicholas Liguori, Nafea Bshara

Patent number: 11855757Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for highly accurate synchronization of machine instances in a distributed, hosted computing environment to a reference timekeeper. In addition to a general communication network accessible to machine instances, the distributed environment includes a second network dedicated to carrying time information, such as a pulse-per-second (PPS) signal to isolated timing hardware within host computing devices. The isolated timing hardware can use the PPS signal, along with a reference time, to set a hardware clock. The isolated timing hardware can further provide an interface to machine instances that enables the instances to read the time of the hardware clock. This configuration enables many instances can share access to a single reference timekeeper, thus synchronizing those instances to a much higher accuracy than in traditional network-based time protocols.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Julien Ridoux, Joshua Benjamin Levinson, Said Bshara, Erez Izenberg, Robert Klein, Alan Michael Judge

Patent number: 11821791Abstract: A monochromator apparatus for an optical spectrum analyzer may include a diffraction grating, a rotatable oblique prism reflector element with a non-right-angle apex angle, and a mirror. An input optical beam received from an input component may be diffracted by the grating element and reflected by a reflector element, where the reflector element may include a rotatable oblique prism with an apex angle that is different from a right angle. A mirror may reflect the reflected diffracted optical beam back to the reflector element and the grating element.
