Abstract: The present invention is a system and method that facilitates the reduction of presentation glitches in a digital video system. The present invention is a system and method that automatically determines if digital video (DV) data is missing from a stream of DV information and replaces or patches missing DV data with appropriate information to reduce the appearance of interruptions in the video (e.g., glitches in presentations). A communication packet carrying application data is received by an application data patching computer system. In one embodiment of the present invention, an IEEE standard 1394 compliant isochronous packet carrying digital video information is received. The application data (e.g., DV information) is separated from other communication packet protocol data (e.g., IEEE standard 1394 compliant header information). The received application data is analyzed to determine if it conforms to configuration constraints of predetermined application data format requirements.

Data content is preferably offered according to a subscription service provided by a first network device. The first network device is preferably a content server. The data content is organized, and thereby distributed, according to a hierarchical data content structure defined by the ICE DTD extensions. The hierarchical data content structure provides a means for organizing the data content, preferably by subject-matter. The hierarchical data content structure includes a plurality of channels, and each channel is segmented into one or more content sub-channels. Each individual data content item is associated with at least one of the content sub-channels and corresponding channel.

Abstract: A scanning apparatus for scanning a hologram is capable of filtering off a holographic picture in the hologram. The hologram includes an image layer having an image to be scanned and a laser layer having the holographic picture. The laser layer has a maximum penetrable incidence. Light with an incidence larger than the maximum penetrable incidence fails to pass through due to light reflection so as to prohibit the image light of the image layer from light transmission. The scanning apparatus includes a load platform and a chassis. The load platform is used for placing the hologram thereon. Besides, the chassis includes a light source for emitting a light. When the scanning apparatus performs scanning, light penetrates the image layer to reflect the image to be scanned and further penetrates the laser layer. After a signal processing procedure, a scanned image is obtained without being influenced by the holographic picture.

Abstract: An optical return-to-zero (RZ) signal generator and related methods are described in which a phase modulator causes a phase change in an optical signal responsive to a transition in a driving signal, and in which an interferometer receives the optical signal from the phase modulator and generates an optical pulse responsive to that phase change. Preferably, the interferometer introduces a fixed, unmodulated time delay between its two signal paths, the fixed time delay being selected such that destructive interference occurs at an output of the interferometer when the phase of the optical signal received from the phase modulator remains constant. However, when a rising or falling edge of the driving signal causes phases changes in the optical signal, the destructive interference at the output of the interferometer is disturbed, and an optical pulse is generated. The driving signal is a differentially encoded version of an input information signal.
