  • DEVICES AND METHODS FOR MULTIPLEXING AND DEMULTIPLEXING COMMON PUBLIC RADIO INTERFACE DATA STREAMS
    Publication number: 20160277964
    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided to allow the multiplexing and demultiplexing of Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) data streams exchanged between a Radio Equipment Control (REC) and a plurality of Radio Equipment (RE) in a radio base station system. The device is generally configured to demultiplex a first downlink CPRI data stream received from the REC, generate a plurality of second downlink CPRI data streams from the demultiplexed first downlink CPRI data stream, multiplex a plurality of second uplink CPRI data streams received from the plurality of REs, and generate a first uplink CPRI data stream from the multiplexed plurality of second uplink CPRI data streams.

  • Audio listening system
    Patent number: 9445185
    Abstract: An audio listening device having a damped ball joint type interface between an ear-cup assembly and a headband assembly is provided. For example, the audio listening device can include a headband assembly comprising at least one end; an ear-cup assembly pivotably engaged to the at least one end of the headband assembly by an engagement structure, the engagement structure comprising at least two cooperatively coupled curved surfaces; and a damper rim coupled to the ear-cup assembly and to the at least one end of the headband assembly, wherein the damper rim is configured to at least partially constrict movement of the ear-cup assembly relative to the headband assembly.

  • Stackable interface modules for customized network functions
    Patent number: 9429724
    Abstract: A function-specific network interface module is provided which includes a housing and a connection interface at opposing ends of the housing configured to connect to another function-specific network interface module in a cascaded manner. The function-specific network interface module further includes one or more circuit components operable to provide a dedicated network function so that a plurality of different network functions is provided when the function-specific network interface module is connected to the other function-specific network interface module via the connection interface.

  • Radiation scribed waveguide coupling for photonic circuits
    Patent number: 9329341
    Abstract: Optical waveguide coupling ratios can be modified for a package by providing a substrate with a photonic circuit disposed on a first section of the substrate and a plurality of optical waveguides formed in glass disposed on a second section of the substrate, the waveguides being connected to the photonic circuit, adjacent ones of the waveguides having a fixed coupling ratio. A three-dimensional region of the glass abutting an end of one or more of the waveguides is lased to change a refractive index of the glass in each three-dimensional region, and thereby extend a length of each waveguide abutting one of the three-dimensional regions so that the coupling ratio between that waveguide and an adjacent waveguide is changed as a function of the extended length. The lasing is controlled based on feedback so that each coupling ratio changed by the lasing varies by less than a target amount.
