  • Method and apparatus for dynamic manipulation and dispersion in photonic crystal devices
    Patent number: 8606060
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and an apparatus for dynamic manipulation and dispersion in photonic crystal devices. In one embodiment, a photonic crystal structure comprises a substrate having a plurality of apertures formed therethrough, a waveguide formed by “removing” a row of apertures, and a plurality of pairs of lateral electrical contacts, the lateral electrical contact pairs extending along the length of the waveguide in a spaced-apart manner. The lateral electrical contact pairs facilitate local manipulation of the photonic crystal structure's refractive index. Thus, optical signals of different wavelengths that propagate through the photonic crystal structure can be dynamically manipulated.

  • Method and apparatus for preventing network conflict
    Patent number: 8467303
    Abstract: A resiliency-link having a master node and slave nodes may be used to automatically avoid network conflicts due to failure of a node stack. Any stack stub formed as a result of the failure of a stack node or link may use the resiliency-link to determine whether the stack Master node is still online and providing service. If communication over the resiliency-link determines that the original Master node is offline, a new stack stub takes over and provides the desired service. If the original Master node is still online, then the new stack stub takes an appropriate alternative or fallback action.

  • LIGHT EMITTING DIODE PACKAGE STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20130119411
    Abstract: A light emitting diode package structure includes a substrate, LED bare chips and a lens. The substrate has an upper surface, a lower surface and a side surface between the upper surface and the lower surface. The upper surface is provided with a circuit pattern. The side surface is provided with a groove. The LED bare chips are fixed on the upper surface and electrically connected with the circuit pattern. The lens covers the LED bare chips, the upper surface and the circuit pattern by an injection molding process so as to be inserted into the groove. With this arrangement, the connecting strength between the substrate and the lens can be enhanced, thereby achieving waterproof and anti-electrostatic effects. Further, material cost of the present invention is reduced greatly.
