Abstract: In one embodiment, a media access controller includes first and second optical line terminals with a receiver for adjacent first and second wavelength ranges, respectively, and an optical network unit with a transmitter having a transmitter wavelength which drifts between the first and the second wavelength range. The media access controller is configured to assign the optical network unit to the first and the second optical line terminals, such that an optical burst transmitted by the optical network unit is received by the first optical line terminal and the second optical line terminal. The media access controller is configured to determine first and second qualities of the optical burst received by the first and second optical line terminals, respectively, and to determine an estimate of the transmitter wavelength based on the first quality and the second quality.

Abstract: A headlamp for vehicles with a semiconductor-based light source arrangement including a number of chips with a matrix-type arrangement of the light sources for the forming of a light source group. Neighboring light sources have an equidistant distance relative to one another. The headlamp also includes an optics unit for the projection of the light sources to form a given light distribution. At least two light source groups are arranged on a common carrier, and a group distance between neighboring light source groups is larger than the distance between the neighboring light sources of the respective light source groups. The light source groups are assigned a common optics unit, and the optics unit being configured so that border light sources of neighboring light sources groups arranged on edges of the respective neighboring light source groups and facing one another are projected to form overlapping light spots.

Abstract: Circuits using differential logic are employed in high-speed optical communications systems. An essential problem in the design of large-scale integrated circuits for this purpose is the control of undesired heat generation, so that the circuits should have low power consumption. According to the invention, a reduction in power consumption is achieved by reducing the number of stages connected in parallel with respect to the power supply. To accomplish this, part of the parallel-connected stages are connected in series with the remaining part of the parallel-connected stages, so that the total number of parallel branches is reduced.
