  • Glucose sensor signal stability analysis
    Patent number: 8543354
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatuses, etc. for glucose sensor signal stability analysis. In certain example embodiments, a series of samples of at least one sensor signal that is responsive to a blood glucose level of a patient may be obtained. Based at least partly on the series of samples, at least one metric may be determined to assess an underlying trend of a change in responsiveness of the at least one sensor signal to the blood glucose level of the patient over time. A reliability of the at least one sensor signal to respond to the blood glucose level of the patient may be assessed based at least partly on the at least one metric assessing an underlying trend. Other example embodiments are disclosed herein.

  • DYNAMIC-GRID COMB OPTICAL SOURCE
    Publication number: 20130195446
    Abstract: An optical source uses feedback to maintain a substantially fixed spacing between adjacent wavelengths in a set of wavelengths in a wavelength comb output by the optical source. In particular, a set of light sources in the optical source provide optical signals having the set of wavelengths. Moreover, the optical signals are output at diffraction angles of an optical device in the optical source (such as an echelle grating), and optical detectors in the optical source determine optical metrics associated with the optical signals. Furthermore, control logic in the optical source provides control signals to the set of light sources based on the determined optical metrics.

  • ECHELLE GRATING WITH CYCLIC FREE-SPECTRAL RANGE
    Publication number: 20130039661
    Abstract: An optical de-multiplexer (de-MUX) that includes an optical device that images and diffracts an optical signal using a reflective geometry is described, where a free spectral range (FSR) of the optical device associated with a given diffraction order abuts FSRs associated with adjacent diffraction orders. Moreover, the channel spacings within diffraction orders and between adjacent diffraction orders are equal to the predefined channel spacing associated with the optical signal. As a consequence, the optical device has a comb-filter output spectrum, which reduces a tuning energy of the optical device by eliminating spectral gaps between diffraction orders of the optical device.

  • LASER SOURCE WITH TUNABLE-GRATING-WAVEGUIDE REFLECTIONS
    Publication number: 20130016744
    Abstract: A laser source includes an optical cavity having a length exceeding a first predefined distance (such as 6 mm), where a wavelength spacing between optical modes associated with the optical cavity is less than a second predefined distance (such as 100 pm). Moreover, a gain medium in the laser source amplifies the optical signal. Furthermore, tunable-grating waveguides in the laser source, which are optically coupled to ends of the optical cavity, reflect a portion of the optical signal back into the optical cavity, and at least one of the tunable-grating waveguides transmits a remainder of the optical signal out of the optical cavity.
