Abstract: In order to achieve increased spacing between amplifiers in soliton transmission systems, it is proposed to use distributed amplifiers, whereby the fibre is a continuous amplifier, rather than or in addition to the conventional lumped amplifiers. This is achieved by using rare earth, for example, erbium doped fibre as the or part of the transmission fibre (4; 4, 7) for the solitons and arranging that the erbium doped fibre appears substantially lossless to input soliton pulses. The latter can be achieved by varying the erbium concentration along the fibre length and providing appropriate optical pumping (5) for the erbium doped fibre. Alternatively, the output of the pump (5) for the fibre can itself be pumped (5a) whereby to replenish the pump power lost to the erbium doped fibre.

Abstract: An optical disk according to the present invention has thereon an uninterrupted preformed groove adjoining a track. The address information of the track and sectors is prerecorded by variations in the preformed groove in a radial direction of the optical disk. An optical disk drive converts a detection signal, that is generated when the spot of a light beam crosses the track, into a binary signal in accordance with the comparison between the detection signal and two different slice levels, whereby a correct track crossing number is obtained. Another optical disk has thereon index marks that are prerecorded by partially varying the width of the preformed groove. Another optical disk drive detects the index mark on a specific track line, whereby formatting data with respect to address information is generated. The optical disks and optical disk drives are thus compatible with writing of the address information by means of soft-formatting.

Abstract: System and method for filtering a misfire data stream having numerical values that indicate whether a firing of a cylinder was a misfire or a proper firing, to yield an optimum measurement misfire-rate for accurate and rapid determination of whether an engine (102) is misfiring beyond a threshold level. The method includes measuring firings of the cylinder during operation of the engine to produce measured cylinder firing signals, processing the measured cylinder firing signals received to produce a current misfire detection data stream of first and second logic signals, wherein the first logic signals indicate a current misfire condition and the second logic signals indicate a current normal firing of the engine, combining the current misfire detection data stream with previously detected and stored measured data representing an engine misfire rate, replacing the previously stored measured data by the combined current and previously stored data to produce a misfire rate output measurement, storing threshold values, comparing the combined current and previously stored data and the stored threshold values, generating an actuation signal if the combined current and previously stored data signal exceeds the stored threshold values, and indicating a misfire condition in the engine upon receiving the actuation signal.

Abstract: A fiber optic switch (30) interconnects ports (p1-pi) (33) for connection with respective fiber optic channels (32) so that a fiber optic network is realized. Channel modules (34) provide the ports (33). Each channel module (34) has a port intelligence mechanism (73) for each port and a memory interface system (72) for temporarily storing data passing to and from the ports (33). A switch module (36) having a main distribution network (42), an intermix distribution network (44), and a control distribution network interconnects the memory interface systems (72) and permits exchange of data among the ports (33) and memory interface systems (72). A path allocation system (50) controls the switch module (36) and allocates the data paths therethrough. The path allocation system (30) has a scheduler (104) which maintains a destination queue (Q p1 -Q pi ) for each of the ports (33). The destination queues are implemented with a double link list in a single memory configuration so that a separate queue structure in hardware is not necessary. Moreover, the scheduler (104) is implemented with a digital signal processor (DSP) with on-chip memory so that the queues are implemented within the on-chip memory and can be accessed at high speed.
