Title: System and method for performing auto-commissioning in a two-way satellite system
Inventor: BAER MATTHEW
IPC: H01Q1/12
Filed: 2001-04-11
Abstract: An approach for performing auto-commissioning over a two-way satellite network is disclosed. A transceiver (109) transmits and receives signals over the two-way satellite network. An antenna (111) is coupled to the transceiver (109). A user terminal (101) is coupled to the transceiver (109) and executes a setup program. The program instructs a user to point the antenna (111) to a beacon satellite (107) using predefined pointing values based upon the location of the antenna (111). The user provides user information over a temporary channel that is established via the beacon satellite (107) to a hub (113). The hub (113) downloads network configuration parameters and antenna (111) pointing parameters to the user terminal (101). The user selectively re-points the antenna (111) based upon the downloaded antenna (111) pointing parameters.  The user terminal (101) is configured based upon the downloaded network configuration parameters, without the need to employ a separate terrestrial link.

Abstract: The Granny Bike Conversion Kit is a device to convert two conventional bicycles of any size into a stable 4 wheeled bike more commonly called a quadcycle. The rear support of the device connects the two bicycles together so that the two bicycles are securely supported in a vertical position relative to the ground without human or other external intervention. The rear support assembly also supports the bicycles in the fore - aft directions so as to maintain the position of left bicycle relative to the right bicycle in the fore-aft direction. The front assembly also assists in supporting the bicycles so they remain perpendicular to the ground as well as maintain the parallelism of left bicycle relative to the right bicycle.     A steering assembly links and coordinates the steering of the left bicycle relative to the right bicycle.      What makes this Granny Bike Conversion Kit unique is that it does not irreversibly modify the conventional bicycles in any way, and when the "Kit" is removed, both bicycles can be ridden as normal without the addition or replacement of any bicycle components. Assembly and disassembly time is less than 20 minutes.

Title: Frame control encoder/decoder for robust ofdm frame transmissions
Inventor: YONGE LAWRENCE W III
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: An encoder/decoder scheme for robust transmission of PHY layer frame control information in OFDM frames. The frame control information to be modulated onto carriers in OFDM symbols is encoded using a product encoder (100) to form a product code block/matrix that is based on a hamming code codeword set having properties of symmetry. Elements of the matrix are interleaved by an interleaver (102) so that the elements are modulated onto carriers of the symbols in diagonal groupings and with some degree of redundancy. The modulated elements are demodulated to produce soft-decision values, which are de-interleaved by a de-interleaver (180) to be re-ordered in the order of the elements prior to interleaving, and provided to a turbo product decoder (182).  The decoder performs a decoding procedure, according to the properties of symmetry, on each set of soft values in fewer operations and with reduced circuitry.

Title: Athermal tunable filters with wavelength and intensity responses based on volume phase hologram
Inventor: LUO FANG
IPC: G02B6/12
Filed: 2003-04-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to an athermal tunable filter in which the wavelength and intensity responses of the filter can be independently tuned by moving the location of the filter. The filter is fabricated by recording multiple volume phase holographic gratings in highly stable photosensitive glasses (e.g. Ge-doped fused silica optic fiber preforms). The athermal operation is realized by an innovative design, in which the shift of the effective grating period induced by the thermal-optic effect is automatically compensated by the shift of incident and output beam angles. In addition, by recording the gratings in selected areas, the intensity response of the filter can also be independently tuned.  This innovative tunable filter has many applications including, compact reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADM), dynamic gain equalizers, optical performance monitor (OPM), tunable chromatic dispersion compensation module, WDM combiner, tunable wavelength stabilizer, tunable lasers, and compact spectroscopy.
