Patent CA-2465602-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LUO YONG
IPC: G02F1/03
Filed: 2004-04-30
Abstract: An optical power splitter for variably splitting an arbitrarily polarized light beam into two or more light beams, is disclosed. An input light beam "A" is received and split it into two output light beams "M" and "N" where the optical power ratio of the two output light beams "M" and "N" is adjusted to a desired ratio by controlling a variable polarization rotator (liquid crystal unit). The polarization components "P' and "S" of the input light beam "A" are separated in a first polarization separator (birefringent displacer), then processed through the variable polarization rotator and a second polarization separator. Finally the processed optical components are recombined in a polarization combiner so as to constitute the desired output light beams "M" and "N" having the desired optical power ratio "R". The polarization independence of the power split is thus achieved through the stratagem of processing the "P" and "S" polarized components of the input light beam "A" separately - resulting in four light beams "H, "I", "L" and "K" which appropriately combined in the polarization combiner yield the output light beams "M" and "N". A number of embodiments are disclosed with different optical technology in the second polarization separator (Wollaston prism) and the variable polarization rotator (mechanically or electro-mechanically adjusted wave plate), with optical deflection means (for physical compactness) and photo detectors (for optical power monitoring), as well as an embodiment for a four-way split.

Title: Granular control over the authority of replicated information via fencing and unfencing
Inventor: BJORNER NIKOLAJ S
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2004-06-25
Abstract: A method and system for controlling which content gets precedence and is replicated. A replica set is comprised of a set of resources. Each resource is associated with resource data and resource meta-data. For files-based systems, resource data includes file contents and attributes, while resource meta-data includes additional attributes that are relevant for negotiating synchronization during replication.      An extra field called a "fence value" is added to the meta-data associated with each resource. During synchronization, first fence values are compared. The resource with the highest fence value includes the content that is controlling and replicated. If fence values are equal (and greater than a particular value), the controlling resource is determined based on other meta-data.

Title: System and method for improving the accuracy of time of arrival measurements in a wireless ad-hoc communications network
Inventor: STRUTT GUENAEL T
IPC: H04B1/7075
Filed: 2003-06-04
Abstract: A system and method for improved Time Of Arrival (TOA) distance measurements between nodes (102, 106, 107) of a wireless ad-hoc network (100).  Specifically, the present invention is a system and method of distance estimation using square-root raised-cosine pulse shaping (118) and chip matched filters on direct sequence spreading waveforms, the multiplication of which produces raised-cosine filtered pulse responses. The responses are used to identify a time when a function is at a maximum, corresponding to the actual signal reception time. The system and method produces a raised-cosine filtered pulse response and an auto-correlation function based on a received signal. A peak value of the auto-correlation function is calculated based on a quadratic approximation, which is corrected using a signal sampling phase offset detected between the raised-cosine filtered pulse response and the calculated peak value.
