Title: Service level agreements based on objective voice quality testing for voice over ip (voip) networks
Inventor: GOODMAN LEE
IPC: H04M3/32
Filed: 2002-05-14
Abstract: An objective, service-level specific voice call listening quality test scheme for a Voice Over IP (VOIP)network is presented. Test probes are deployed along the border of the VOIP network. Each test probe is capable of placing calls over the VOIP network to the other test probes at different levels of service and measuring call quality using an objective measurement algorithm such as PAMS or PSQM. The measurement results are collected on an ongoing basis to obtain information on the VOIP network's voice call quality. The information is compared to thresholds to measure performance against Service Level Agreement guarantees.

The external-transfer waveguide and/or the transmission waveguide are adapted for transverse-transfer of optical power therebetween (mode-interference-coupled or adiabatic). The transmission waveguide is initially provided as a component mechanically separate from the substrate, device, and external-transfer waveguide. Assembly of the transmission waveguide with the substrate, device, and/or external-transfer waveguide results in relative positioning of the external-transfer waveguide and the transmission waveguide for enabling transverse-transfer of optical power therebetween. Optical power transfer between the device and the transmission waveguide through the external-transfer waveguide is thereby enabled. The transmission waveguide may preferably comprise a planar waveguide on a waveguide substrate.

Patent CA-2469817-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DASARI RAMACHANDRA R
IPC: G01B11/02
Filed: 2002-12-18
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés faisant appel à une technique précise fondée sur les phases pour la mesure d'au moins une caractéristique d'un objet à mesurer. Une telle caractéristique peut être une longue distance arbitraire, par exemple, mesurée de préférence avec une précision d'un ordre inférieur au nanomètre. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, on utilise un interféromètre, par exemple un interféromètre de Michelson, comportant des sources lumineuses harmoniquement associées, une à onde continue (CW) et une seconde source présentant une faible cohérence (LC). La source à faible cohérence émet une lumière d'une largeur de bande spectrale qui est de préférence supérieure à 5 nm pour une longueur d'onde d'un micron (µ), par exemple, bien que cette largeur de bande puisse varier en fonction de la longueur d'onde et de l'application. En réglant légèrement la longueur d'onde centrale de la source à faible cohérence entre des balayages de l'objet à mesurer tel qu'un échantillon cible, on peut utiliser la relation de phases entre les signaux hétérodynes de l'onde continue et de la lumière à faible cohérence pour mesurer la séparation séparant des surfaces ou interfaces réfléchissantes, cela avec une précision d'un ordre inférieur au nanomètre. Etant donné que cette technique est complètement exempte d'ambiguïté 2 .pi., défaut dont souffrent la plupart des techniques fondées sur les phases, elle peut être mise en oeuvre pour la mesure, sans perte de précision, de distances optiques arbitrairement longues. Une application d'un mode de réalisation préféré du procédé présenté est la détermination précise de l'indice de réfraction d'un échantillon à une longueur d'onde donnée, échantillon dont l'épaisseur physique est connue. Une autre application dudit mode préféré est la détermination précise de l'épaisseur physique d'un échantillon dont l'indice de réfraction est connu. Une autre application dudit mode de réalisation est la détermination précise du rapport des indices de réfraction à deux longueurs d'onde données.
