Abstract: Optical fiber-based wireless systems and related components and methods are disclosed. The systems support radio frequency (RF) communications with clients over optical fiber, including Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) communications. The systems may be provided as part of an indoor distributed antenna system (IDAS) to provide wireless communication services to clients inside a building or other facility. The communications can be distributed between a head end unit (HEU) that receives carrier signals from one or more service or carrier providers and converts the signals to RoF signals for distribution over optical fibers to end points, which may be remote antenna units (RAUs). A microprocessor-based control system or systems may also be employed.

Abstract: A method and system for generating one or more keys includes obtaining at two or more devices data based on movement of at least one of the devices with the respect to the other device. At least one key is generated based on the obtained data at each of the devices for use in securing communications between the devices. The key at each of the devices is substantially the same.

Abstract: A subject is positioned on a patient support (12) between an x-ray source (10) and a radiation detector assembly (14). The x-ray source is gated (36) on or open prior to triggering (38) a video camera (26) of the x-ray detector assembly to generate an electronic frame image representation. The patient support is moved to generate reference images at positions (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) and the resultant reference images are stored in a reference image memory (42). A radiopaque dye is injected adjacent a first position (1) and the x-ray source and camera are triggered at a first rate indicated by a scan program memory (50). The generated images are displayed on a video monitor until a radiologist decides that the radiopaque dye has moved downstream sufficiently that it is time to index to a second position (2). The radiologist presses an index button (68) causing the patient to be indexed.
