  • Patent number: 10516489
    Abstract: An underwater communication apparatus includes a light transmitting device to transmits a first communication light and a light receiving device to receive a second communication light. Further, a light identification device is used to detect a reference pattern in two dimensions, which is set on a node communication apparatus, to obtain a detection pattern. The light transmitting device and the light receiving device respectively corresponding to the light identification device are set at two relative locations. A power apparatus is used to drive the underwater communication apparatus. A control/monitor apparatus obtains the detection pattern from the light identification device and analyze a difference state between the reference pattern and the detection pattern. According to the difference state, it controls the power apparatus to move the underwater communication apparatus to a location for the detection pattern and the reference pattern being two dimensionally aligned.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a fabric interfacing architecture for a node blade. The fabric interfacing architecture comprises a fabric interface unit and a control unit. The fabric interface unit includes a switch and an E-keying element. The control unit receives control signals from an external web server to control the fabric interface unit. The control unit respectively controls the switch and the E-keying element through different control signals. The fabric interfacing architecture is utilized together with a back plane of a shelf and one or more physical layers of the node blade. This allows flexible PHY-to-Channel/Port routings, thereby achieving the support for multiple topology modes. The invention may on-line adjust the assignments of communication channels and ports according to the needs for physically applied bandwidths, which optimizes the bandwidth utilization.
