Abstract: A method for adjusting at least one alignment control axis of a holographic data storage system or device to or towards a sufficiently optimal recovery position for recovery of a hologram based on a derived feedback error signal and/or a derived feed-forward signal. For the next hologram in the sequence, the derived feedback error signal estimates the direction and magnitude of misalignment of the at least one alignment control axis for one or more previously recovered holograms based on alignment-indicating data. The derived feed-forward signal estimates an optimal alignment value for the at least one alignment control axis for one or more holograms based on recording and recovery operating condition data for the holograms. An iterative alignment procedure may also be used to derive a feedback error signal for one hologram.

Abstract: External cavity laser (ECL) systems and methods for measuring the wavelength of the ECL by using a portion of the positional light received by the position sensitive detector (PSD) to determine the position of a wavelength tuning element (such as a diffraction grating or an etalon), for determining the longitudinal laser mode or power output of the laser from a portion of the laser light received by a beam-shearing mode sensor, and by using a non-output beam(s) from a transmissive diffraction grating in the ECL to monitor the external cavity laser.

Abstract: Two sheets of 20# paper of 21?×10?? sheet size are laminated together using pattern printed adhesive and silicon sites to create a sheet of multi-up #10 envelopes. Each envelope is separated by a perforation in the sheet and includes edges that are square folded to eliminate image deletions as the envelopes travel through a printer. Three kiss slits are located at the bottom of each envelope to allow air to escape and prevent wrinkling as they are conveyed through a printer. The flaps for each of the envelopes are included in the sheet which are to be folded over and sealed using a peel and seal adhesive strip, which keeps the strip moisture free and the flap opened to eliminate issues of sealing in the printer.

The dispenser comprises a holding means for the goods and a support means for supporting a trash receptacle. In a preferred embodiment, the trash receptacle is a plastic shopping bag and the support means is one or more hooks for engaging the handles of the plastic shopping bag.

Abstract: A container system is supported by one or more laundry appliances. The container may have an open top with a cover provided, or slide out of a container housing. The container system further includes mounting structure between the container or container housing and the appliance or appliances to support the container or container housing in side by side relationship with one appliance or between two appliances, so that the cover closing the container or the top of the container housing is substantially flush with the top work surface of the adjacent appliance or appliances, effectively forming a continuous work surface.

Abstract: The LAUNDRY AREA ORGANIZER includes a bin having a front, a back, a bottom, and first and second side walls, the first side wall of the bin being juxtaposed to and abutted with a side wall of one of the clothes washer and dryer and the second side wall of the bin being juxtaposed to and abutted with a side wall of the other of the clothes washer and dryer so that the bin is disposed between and laterally supported by the clothes washer and dryer. The LAUNDRY AREA ORGANIZER also includes a cover for the bin, the cover having a top surface, the cover being manipulable to an open position for providing access to the interior of the bin and, alternatively, to a closed position for precluding access to the interior of the bin, the top surface of the cover is at about the same height as the top surfaces of the clothes washer and dryer so that the top surfaces of the cover and the clothes washer and dryer lie approximately in a plane, to provide a continuous work surface.

Abstract: The Instrument Landing System Calibrator employs a combined analog radio frequency downconverter with a digital control system for analysis of difference in depth of modulation of tones generated by an instrument landing system localizer and glide slope transmitters. Signal sensitivity and accuracy is increased by elimination of system and phase noise present in purely analog designs and hybrid analog digital designs where digital signal processing is conducted at audio frequencies. Digital signal processing is conducted at video frequency with a single heterodyne from VHF and UHF frequency through selectable crystals. Selection of ILS channels is extended by the use of high speed video digital processing in conjunction with the use of selectable filters and selectable crystals to include all ILS channels.
