  • Patent number: 9967028
    Abstract: Diversity combining schemes have been extensively used in wireless and free space optical communication systems. The present invention of a system and method for free space optical communications where multiple gain combiner (MGC) provides a better performance as compared to selection combining (SC) and equal gain combining (EGC) and can also be used for wireless applications. It also gives a cost effective solution with a minimal degradation in quality when maximal ratio combining (MRC) is compared in terms of hardware complexity and implementation cost. There is no need for present channel state information. Also, Adaptive weight adjustment is not required in present invention. Therefore, the MGC of system and method disclosed in the present invention is a simple, cost effective and high performance diversity combiner.

  • Publication number: 20160167169
    Abstract: Niobium or its alloy based Superconducting Radio Frequency (SCRF) Cavities involving at least one laser beam welded components in the SCRF cavity welded from inside surface of the wall of cavity directed to achieving more than half the thickness to full depth penetration with minimum HAZ, minimizing distortion and shrinkage. The method ensures improved weld quality and surface finish substantially free of any weld defects. Also disclosed is the welding nozzle system and welding rigs adapted to facilitate such laser welding of the Niobium or its alloy based Superconducting Radio Frequency (SCRF) Cavities. The invention is thus directed to enhancing productivity, ensuring consistent quality and reliability, enhanced weld penetration with minimum HAZ, smooth finish of weld joints at possible reduced costs.

  • Patent number: 8673820
    Abstract: A method of qualifying Niobium and/or other super conducting materials for the reliable fabrication of SCRF cavities, which will invariably deliver high accelerating fields including: identification of the best superconducting lower critical field (HC1) based on subjecting a sample of the superconducting material selectively to mechanical stress, annealing at various temperatures, various chemical treatments, post-chemical treatment baking/annealing; and identification of the best possible thermal conductivity of the material at said best superconducting lower critical field (HC1) to thereby qualify the superconducting material for the reliable fabrication of SCRF cavities adapted to deliver high accelerating fields.
