  • Patent number: 7038844
    Abstract: An optical fiber amplifier includes a length of silica optical fiber having a core doped with neodymium, a first cladding and a second cladding each with succeeding lower refractive indices, where the first cladding diameter is less than 10 times the diameter of the core. The doping concentration of the neodymium is chosen so that the small signal absorption for 816 nm light traveling within the core is less than 15 dB/m above the other fiber losses. The amplifier is optically pumped with one laser into the fiber core and with another laser into the first cladding.

  • Patent number: 6832374
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for updating an executing executable file. Client executes a first executable file in a first location and makes a request. Server receives the request and transfers a configuration file to client. The configuration file comprises an executable file name, and a file address corresponding to a storage apparatus. Second executable file corresponds to the executable file name, stored in storage apparatus. First executable file receives the configuration file and links to storage apparatus corresponding to the file address, downloads second executable file and stores second executable file in a second location. First executable file activates second executable file and terminates first executable file. Second executable file duplicates itself to the first location. Second executable file in the second location activates second executable file in the first location and terminates second executable file in the second location.

  • Patent number: 6728698
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for interaction between a browser engine and an application. The application includes a plurality of function modules. When the application is initiated, it sends a request to the browser engine. After the browser engine receives the request, it downloads a browser display in response to the request. The browser display includes a plurality of function icons. Each of the function icons corresponds to one of the function modules of the application. When a user selects one function icon on the browser display, the browser engine initiate the function module of the application corresponding to the function icon so that the application executes a specific function.

  • Publication number: 20020038338
    Abstract: A method and system for real-time data display scheduling for providing a user an alternative data display on the Internet and a customized real-time data display to meet user's demand. The system includes: a server and at least one client. The server is used for receiving requests for channel-data and providing corresponding channel-data in response to the requests. Each channel-data further includes a designated timer and a designated queue number. The client further includes a user interface unit, a plurality of queues, and a plurality of channel units. The channel unit sends a request for channel-data. Then the channel units receives the corresponding channel-data, defines the time to enter into a plurality of queues according to the timer of the channel-data, and defines the order of the channel-data in the corresponding queue according to the queue number of the channel-data.

  • Publication number: 20020035595
    Abstract: A method and system for generating dynamic user interfaces is disclosed herein. A client makes a request to a server for generating a user interface. Thereupon receiving the request, the server transfers a frame and a configuration file to the client in return. The configuration file comprises a plurality of filenames, file addresses and file coordinates. Each filename corresponds to a file address and a file coordinate. Each file address corresponds to a storage apparatus. The file coordinates are used to designate the positions of the files on the frame. Upon the client receiving the frame and the configuration file, the client links to the storage apparatus corresponding to the file addresses and downloads the files corresponding to the filenames. The client generates a user interface within the frame by displaying the downloaded files based on the file coordinates corresponding to the filenames in the configuration file.

  • Publication number: 20020032758
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for dynamically loading program logic into an application. The method comprises the following steps. The client computer launches an application to issue a request to a server. The server receives the request and transfers a configuration file to the client computer based on the request. The configuration file comprises a program logic file name and a program logic file address. The program logic file address corresponds to a storage apparatus where the program logic file corresponding to the program logic file name is located. The program logic file comprises the program logic required to execute the application. The client computer receives the configuration file, links to the storage apparatus corresponding to the program logic file address and downloads the program logic file. The client computer executes the application in accordance with program logic in the program logic file.

  • Publication number: 20020032779
    Abstract: A method and a system for segment registration use servers and clients on the Internet. The server includes a plurality of registration web pages and a registration file. The registration file includes a plurality of registration conditions and each condition corresponds to a registration request. After the client downloads the registration file, it initiates registration by continuously sending instructions via a browser interface. Based on the registration file downloaded from the server, the client then decides whether the instruction sent satisfies its corresponding condition and proceeds to the next step, sending a corresponding registration request to the server. Upon receiving the registration request, provided the registration request is complete, the execution of the instruction continues. If not, the server sends a registration web page responding to the registration request to the client. Only after the registration conditions are met in full can the instruction be continued.
