Title: Method and apparatus for free space optical communication using incoherent light
Inventor: WINSOR ROBERT S
IPC: H04B10/118
Filed: 2005-02-18
Granted: 2011-11-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for a free space optical communication link that transmits and receives an optical signal using phase incoherent light. In one embodiment, the phase incoherent light source may be a Superluminescent Light Emitting Diode (SLED). Use of phase incoherent light reduces signal scintillation by significantly reducing speckle in the transmitted signal. The result is an optical link that does not need an adaptive optical control loop to correct for speckle and that may modularly replace conventional laser-based phase-coherent free space optical links typically used in free space optical link systems. Use of the described apparatus and methods results in reduced system size, reduced system weight, reduced system complexity, reduced power consumption, a lower initial system cost, a reduced failure rate, a decreased bit error rate, lower lifecycle maintenance costs, greater reliability, greater link availability, increased link throughput and improved network performance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to wireless control of resources of a network and to wireless control of medical devices. The invention provides location dependent access to network resources on the basis of user identification, distance between mobile device and network resource as well as distance between several mobile devices. Wireless access control further refers to various levels of access of a plurality of differently authorized users. Depending on the mutual distance between differently authorized users, access rights of a high level authorized user can be dynamically transferred to a low level authorized user. The invention therefore provides location dependent inheritance of access rights between users of mobile devices of a network environment.

Abstract: Coinjection molding shooting pot cooling apparatus and method are configured to cool a shooting pot cylinder which, in combination with a shooting pot piston, injects a melt through a coinjection nozzle having at least two melt channels ending at the same gate. Preferably, a heat sink sleeve is disposed to contact an outer surface of a rear portion of the shooting pot cylinder. The heat sink sleeve is configured to remove sufficient heat from the shooting pot cylinder to increase the viscosity of the melt therein, thus reducing melt leakage between the shooting pot piston and the shooting pot cylinder.

Abstract: A method and a sealing system for sealing the space between a piston and the hub of a torque converter lockup clutch is provided. According to the method and the sealing system, the seal is pretensioned with its cylindrical surface facing the piston bore. In an embodiment of the invention, the first seal is fastened by a second seal. The invention allows minimization of oil leakage flow and at the same time to linearize its dependency on the differential pressure. Spontaneous sealing may be reduced, thereby directly correlating the contact pressure of the piston—and thus the torque of the torque converter lockup clutch—with differential pressure and eventually allowing for smoother travel.

Abstract: Accelerated computation of combinations of group operations in a finite field is provided by arranging for at least one of the operands to have a relatively small bit length. In a elliptic curve group, verification that a value representative of a point R corresponds the sum of two other points uG and vG is obtained by deriving integers w,z of reduced bit length and so that v = w/z. The verification equality R = uG + vQ may then be computed as -zR +(uz mod n) G + wQ = O with z and w of reduced bit length. This is beneficial in digital signature verification where increased verification can be attained.
