Abstract: An optical switch (10) uses composite mirrors (40, 42, 44, 46,
48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60 and 62) having individually addressable pivotable
micromirrors (64, 66, 150 and 190) on one side and a fixed mirror arrangement
(88, 108 and 110) on another side. Preferably, separate composite
mirrors are used in each reflection of an optical beam (38) from an input to an
output, with at least one fixed mirror and at least two pivotable mirrors
defining the optical path. The function of the first pivotable mirror along the
path is to select a target output, while the purpose of the second pivotable
mirror is to achieve a low loss coupling to the target output. By combining the
fixed mirrors with the micromirror arrays into a single structure, the spacing
between adjacent arrays of inputs and the spacing between adjacent arrays
of outputs can be reduced. Thus, using the composite mirrors increases the
maximum number of optical inputs and outputs for beams having fixed waists.

Abstract: An adaptive antenna array (14) includes a multiplicity of antenna elements (12a-12k, 48a-48k) responsive to uplink communications (16a-16k) and arranged to support directional-orientated downlink communication to subscriber units (18). The adaptive antenna array (14) is operationally responsive to a signal processor (28) that co-operates with direction of arrival estimation logic (36) to assess an angle of arrival of uplink communications incident to the array. To avoid inter-cell interference, especially during early stages of a call, the signal processor operates to ensure that a wide area downlink beam (108) is provided for a downlink path to an addressed subscriber unit. With time and/or with reported (68, 84) downlink quality of service (QoS) metrics, the signal processor (28) regulates (74, 92, 96) a width of the downlink beam by altering the number of antenna elements used to support the downlink beam, thereby altering the downlink beam aperture. Generally, with time, more antenna elements (92) are used and so the beam is narrowed, although in-call fluctuations in downlink quality of service are dynamically addressed by the signal processor (28) by either narrowing or broadening the width of the downlink beam by respectively switching antenna elements (12a-12k, 48a-48k) into (92) or out (96) of the adaptive antenna array (14), as shown in FIGs. 3a and 3b.

Abstract: A three-axis physical model is used to numerically compensate for errors in measured magnetic field values in an electronic compass for operation an any arientation. This compensation method generates certain quantities that characterize the magnetic field of the Earth in the vertical plane. These quantities are used to monitor the accuracy of the electronic compass during normal operation by comparing their current values either with values obtained during the calibration procedure or with values obtained from historical averages. Significant departure from the calibration values or from the historical averages indicates a probable loss of accuracy of the compass, and the user is so alerted.
