Title: Remote control method comprising authenticating the control terminal and using the dynamic Internet Protocol (IP) address of the controlled terminal.
Inventor: CHEN XINGWEN
IPC: H04M1/72415
Filed: 2008-08-05
Abstract: The invention provides a method and a device for a remote control, in which authentication information is requested from the control terminal (mobile phone, telephone or computer) after a control request for a controlled terminal (mobile phone, telephone, computer) is received; and when the identification information from the control terminal is correct, dynamic identification information of the controlled terminal for a control service is obtained and sent to the control terminal. Aspects of the invention include the dynamic identification information being the dynamic Internet Protocol (IP) address of the controlled terminal and determining whether the controlled terminal is needed to be woken up with a wake-up signal or whether the controlled terminal operates in an un-networked state. The method and device need not have a dedicated dynamic domain name resolution server. Since a successful authentication is a precondition for obtaining dynamic identification information, communication security is improved.

Title: Tuning a delay interferometer on the basis of signal quality measurements obtained by dithering the optical carrier
Inventor: WINTERBURN DAVID
IPC: H04B10/43
Filed: 2008-08-28
Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for tuning an optical discriminator (i.e. a differential delay interferometer) to the carrier frequency of an optical signal to allow superior reception of said signal. In an alternative embodiment the carrier frequency may be tuned to the discriminator. In both embodiments, the carrier frequency of the signal is dithered during a test phase in order to determine a relationship between carrier frequency and a signal quality metric such as BER or output level from a peak detector. This relationship is then used in a subsequent tuning phase to optimise the reception of the optical signal. The optical signal is preferably a DPSK or DQPSK signal. The carrier wavelength is preferably dithered by varying a current driving optical source producing the optical signal.

Title: Optical head utilising laser relaxation oscillation
Inventor: KAJI NOBUAKI
IPC: G11B7/125
Filed: 2008-09-04
Abstract: An optical pickup (10) includes a laser drive circuit (105) which supplies a drive current to a laser (21), and a laser control circuit (100) which supplies a predetermined timing pulse for generation of relaxation oscillation in a laser drive current supplied to the laser drive circuit, the laser control circuit supplies a laser drive current I3 higher than a threshold value Ith to enable laser light to be output from the laser element, the laser control circuit setting the laser drive current I1 to a level lower than the threshold value on the basis of the timing pulse. During a period B the drive current is reduced to below the laser threshold current for time T1 before the current pulse during period C. This increases the peak output of the laser from relaxation oscillation and reduces laser average power. This also reduces temperature effects on the laser and optics.
