Abstract: An optical pickup apparatus includes a plurality of laser light sources, a single objective lens, and a beam shaping mirror. The beam shaping mirror causes each of the laser beams to be incident on a transmission surface, reflects the beam from a reflection surface being unparallel to the transmission surface and causes the beam to emerge from the transmission surface, thereby to convert a light intensity distribution of the beam of each of the wavelengths from an elliptic shape into a circular shape. The beam shaping mirror is made of a liquid crystal, which forms the transmission surface and the reflection surface, and is electrically driven so that a refractive index of the liquid crystal may be held constant irrespective of the wavelengths of the beams each of which enters the beam shaping mirror.

Abstract: A method of correcting the frequency response of an RF receiver having a frequency translation device and a fixed IF frequency section uses calibration data representing frequency responses over a wide frequency range for multiple center frequencies. The calibration data are based upon a multi-dimensional model for the frequency translation device that includes at least center frequency and offset frequency. The calibration data are stored in the RF receiver during factory calibration. A run-time normalization of the RF receiver produces a normalization frequency response at a reference frequency, and a relative frequency response at a desired center frequency is derived from the calibration data. The normalized and relative frequency responses are combined to produce an overall frequency response that is used by the RF receiver to configure an inverse filter to correct channel linear distortion produced by the frequency response of the frequency translation device at the desired center frequency.

Abstract: A knee brace, method of use thereof, and modification to an existing knee brace facilitates inducing side loads to a knee joint to align upper and lower leg portions relative to one another, thereby allowing the knee joint to function properly over its full dynamic range of motion. The knee brace, whether as manufactured or modified, acts to apply a lateral shear force to the knee joint through application of opposing lateral forces, with one lateral force being above the knee joint in one direction and the other lateral force being below the knee joint in an opposite direction. The counteracting forces act to shift femoral condyles and tibial condyles of the knee joint back into proper lateral alignment without acting directly on the patella to counteract the effects of the patella femoral syndrome.
