  • Patent number: 9190722
    Abstract: An antenna line protection device includes a pair of coaxial connectors and a streamer discharge module. The pair of coaxial connectors are disposed on both side ends of the antenna line protection device. The streamer discharge module is coupled between the coaxial connectors so that, when a pulse signal is input via the coaxial connectors, the streamer discharge module induces an electric field and thus establishes a discharge current channel, thereby suppressing an excessive input pulse.

  • Patent number: 7920822
    Abstract: Provided is a device for preventing eavesdropping through a speaker. More particularly, a device for preventing eavesdropping by transmitting a jamming signal through a speaker common signal line is provided, the device including: a jamming signal generator for generating a jamming signal comprising a noise signal; an amplifier for amplifying the jamming signal; and a transformer for receiving the amplified jamming signal from the amplifier and outputting the amplified jamming signal to a speaker common signal line. The device may transmit a jamming signal in an audible frequency band to the speaker common signal line, thereby rendering conversations unrecognizable to eavesdroppers when an electrical signal induced from a speaker is detected through the speaker common signal line.

  • Patent number: 7593647
    Abstract: An optical transmitter has a resonance wavelength characteristic that varies with the refractive index of the optical transmitter. The optical transmitter receives a narrow band injected wavelength signal from an incoherent light source. The controller substantially matches a resonant wavelength of the optical transmitter to the wavelength of the injected wavelength signal by changing the refractive index of the optical transmitter to substantially match the resonant wavelength of the optical transmitter and the wavelength of the injected wavelength signal. A detector measures a parameter of the optical transmitter to provide a feedback signal to a controller to determine when the resonant wavelength of the optical transmitter and the wavelength of the injected wavelength signal are substantially matched.

  • Patent number: 7469102
    Abstract: Various methods, systems, and apparatuses is described in which a passive-opticalnetwork includes a first multiplexer/demultiplexer, a second multiplexer/demultiplexer, a wavelength tracking component, and a transmission wavelength controller. The first multiplexer/demultiplexer is located in a first location. The second multiplexer/demultiplexer is located in a second location remote from the first location. The wavelength tracking component determines the difference between the transmission band of wavelengths of the first multiplexer/demultiplexer and the second multiplexer/demultiplexer to provide a control signal to match the transmission band of wavelengths of the first multiplexer/demultiplexer and the second multiplexer/demultiplexer. The transmission wavelength controller alters an operating parameter of the first multiplexer/demultiplexer based on the control signal to control the transmission band of wavelengths of the first multiplexer/demultiplexer.
