Patent number: 8542669Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for selecting transmission resources in a telecommunications system that comprises different networks, where the techniques are based on the quality of the waveform of transmitted media such as audio or video signals, in contrast to the quality of service of the network that transports the media. The problem with only using quality of service to determine which resources to allocate to a call is that quality of service does not guarantee that the quality experienced by the call's participants is satisfactory just because a component network's quality of service is satisfactory. For example, the end-to-end delay experienced in a VoIP network might be satisfactory for most data transfers, but might still be inadequate to control the echo experienced by telecommunications users. The disclosed techniques evaluate the waveform quality (i.e., in terms of loudness, noise, echo, and so forth) of media that is transmitted along a path and allocate alternative resources accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2006Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Avaya, Inc.Inventors: Ben Baten, Wing Fai Lo, Sean S.

Publication number: 20050189498Abstract: An irradiation apparatus for a photodynamic treatment. The irradiation apparatus includes a main body, a high power light emitting element, an optical lens assembly and an optical fiber. The high power light emitting element is disposed on the main body to output light. The optical lens assembly is adjacent to the high power light emitting element and disposed on the main body to receive the light from the high power light emitting element. The optical fiber has an input end and an output end. The input end is coupled to the optical lens assembly to receive and transmit the light from the optical lens assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2003Publication date: September 1, 2005Inventors: Adrian Wing Fai Lo, Hong-Shi Cao, Jung-Tsung Hsu, Ming-I Lee, Chin-Tin Chen, Chih-Wei Ho

Publication number: 20020085379Abstract: The invention is a surface light source generator that can provide surface light with a high luminosity and uniformity and a small dispersion angle. The invention uses the light emitting diodes (LEDs) for industrial standard light bulb packaging as its basis. By redesigning the shape of the LED elements (e.g., hexagonal pillars, quadrangle pillars or triangular pillars) and disposing a plurality of same type LEDs together, a surface type illuminator comprised of many closely packed LED elements is formed. Using the convergent effect of the convex lens on top of the LED elements, the light dispersion angle is controlled within 15 degrees. Such a technique of packing many LED elements together can increase the unit area luminosity of the surface light source generator and, at the same time, achieve a high luminosity and uniformity.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2001Publication date: July 4, 2002Inventors: Wei-Kuo Han, Johnson Su, Ye-Jung Tang, Adrian Wing Fai Lo, Fei-Chang Hwang
