Abstract: Computer implemented methods and apparatus are described for identifying suitable
charter aircraft for an itinerary. An aircraft database is queried for a first plurality of aircraft
capable of servicing the itinerary. A mission cost value is determined for each of the first
plurality of aircraft using a plurality of weighting factors. The mission cost value is
quantified with a first type of unit, while selected ones of the weighting factors relate to
parameters characterized by units different from the first type. A second plurality of aircraft
is selected from among the first plurality of aircraft based on the associated mission cost
values. At least one representation of the second plurality of aircraft is then presented.

IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 2000-08-14
Abstract: In an optically amplified wavelength division multiplexed (WDM)
system having a WDM signal comprising a plurality of optical channels, the per-channel
gain of the optical channels is kept relatively constant despite changes in input power at
the optical amplifier (101), such as when individual optical channels of the WDM signal
are added and dropped. More specifically, gain of an optical amplifier (101) is
controlled by controlling the amount of pump power (110) supplied to the optical
amplifier as a function of changes in input power which are measured in a feed-forward
monitoring path (130, 140). The amount of pump power for effecting gain control is
adjusted according to a scaled relationship to the measured input power of the optical
amplifier. By controlling the pump power (by 120) directly in response to changes in
input power, gain of the optical amplifier can be controlled within a sub-microsecond
time scale from the time that a change in input power is detected. Moreover, by
maintaining relatively constant per-channel gain in an amplified WDM signal despite
changes in input power at the optical amplifier, power excursions are substantially
reduced in surviving optical channels of the WDM signal, i.e., those at the output of the
optical amplifier.

Abstract: A novel superfluorescent fiber source (SFS) (10) has high power and
broad bandwidth, and can advantageously be used in a variety of applications, e.g.,
optical coherent tomography systems, sliced spectrum optical fiber communication
systems, and optical position sensing systems. The novel SFS comprises a first and a
second length of rare earth-doped optical fiber (11,12), with an optical isolator (13)
therebetween. Light from a first pump source (14) is provided to the first length of
optical fiber, and light from a second pump source (15) is provided to the second length
of optical fiber. An optional reflector (16) is disposed to reflect at least some upstream-propagating
light back into the first length of optical fiber, whereby generation of long-wavelength
amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) is facilitated. The long-wavelength
ASE is transmitted through the optical isolator to the second length of rare earth-doped
optical fiber, where broadband ASE is generated and the long-wavelength ASE is
amplified. The resulting ASE is provided to utilization means.

Abstract: An HBT (100) having an InP collector (104), a GaAsSb base (110) and an InP
emitter (114) in which the base (110) is constructed using a thin layer of GaAsSb. The
thin base (110) can be constructed of a GaAsSb material with a composition having a
bulk lattice constant that matches the bulk lattice constant of the material of the
collector (104). The thickness of the GaAsSb base layer is less than 49 nm, and
preferably less that about 20 nm. Alternatively, the thin base (110) is of a GaAsSb
composition that includes a high As content, resulting in a low conduction band energy
discontinuity at the emitter-base junction (228). Such a GaAsSb base layer (110) has a
lattice constant that conforms to the lattice constant of the collector (104) because it is
thinly grown so as to be pseudomorphically "strained" over the collector (104). A
high base doping level is used to reduce the sheet resistivity and lower the base series
resistance that results from the thinly grown base layer (110).

Abstract: A method of correcting illumination variation in a scanned image
of a non-planar original object, such as an open book, includes scanning at least a
portion of the book in order to produce scanned image data. Illumination
variation data is extracted from the scanned image data and used to derive a
plurality of illumination compensation values. The scanned image data is then
compensated or scaled in accordance with the illumination compensation values.
Illumination data is acquired through a sampling window having a long and thin
geometry. From the data acquired via the sampling window, foreground and
background illumination distributions are defined. From the foreground and
background illuminations, high and low threshold values are determined in order
to calculate a set of reference or compensation values. A tone reproduction
curve is generated in order to map the scanned data, thus normalizing the
illumination variation. Alternately, an illumination gain factor is employed in the
compensation.
