  • DIAGNOSIS OF A SHARED BUS USING INDICATORS APPLIED TO A VECTOR BASED ON THE AMPLITUDE OF AN OBSERVED SIGNAL
    Publication number: 20250165363
    Abstract: Systems and methods for diagnosing a shared bus based on an indicator applied to a vector of amplitudes of signals transmitted over the bus. An aspect provides a method comprising: transmitting a pulse signal over a shared bus; capturing an observed signal, wherein the observed signal is a superimposition of the pulse signal and a reflection signal; comparing an amplitude of the observed signal to a plurality of threshold values; creating a vector indicating a given threshold at which the amplitude of the observed signal first exceeds one of the plurality of threshold values at a plurality of sampling times; applying an indicator to the vector; and diagnosing the shared bus based on the indicator.

  • Optoelectronic interconnection system
    Patent number: 8469606
    Abstract: An optoelectronic interconnection system is for use in optical communications. The optoelectronic interconnection system may include a substrate having a main portion and a foldable portion formed on a substrate of a board for positioning an optically active device connected to the foldable portion. The foldable portion is adapted to be folded with respect to the main portion into a desired optical coupling orientation for which an optical operative axis (OA) of the optically active device arranged therein is substantially aligned with an optical transmission axis (TT?) that is other than perpendicular to the main portion. A holding fixture holds the foldable portion in the desired optical coupling orientation.
