IPC: G01J3/02
Filed: 2010-08-16
Abstract: An amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) source 200 is used for interrogating one or more optical elements 122. Light passes from the broadband ASE source 200 through a tunable filter 114 to produce a narrow band of wavelengths. The resulting signal is boosted by an amplifier 210.The amplified signal is used to interrogate transmissive optical elements or reflective sensor elements 122. The filter 114 may sweep across a wavelength range for the optical elements. The ASE source 200 may comprise an erbium-doped fibre and the amplifier 210 may comprise a doped fibre amplifier. Also disclosed is the active control of a wavelength-swept light source used to interrogate optical elements. The method involves obtaining feedback regarding parameters of a sweep of wavelengths to interrogate transmissive optical elements having characteristic wavelengths spanning a sweep range. The parameters effecting the interrogation are adjusted based on the feedback during a current or future sweep.

Title: Cleaving optical fibres to give profiled angled end faces
Inventor: MURGATROYD IAN JOHN
IPC: G02B6/25
Filed: 2012-04-02
Abstract: Apparatus and method of cleaving optical fibers where the optical fibers 1 are cleaved with an angled end. The fiber is held by clamps 4a, 5a, 4b, 5b and stressed by a combination of bending and tensioning using an anvil 6, inducing a controlled internal stress in the fiber. The fibre is scratched by a sharp cleaving blade 7. When the blade is introduced at an angle Î² or Î± (fig. 3b) away from the normal to the axis of the fiber the cutting force will tend to stress the fiber at an angle to its axis. This can be used to change the shape of the angled cleaved end which can be adjusted such that the protrusion of glass beyond the core of the optical fiber is reduced, allowing close approach between the angle cleaved optical fiber and another fibre or optoelectronic device, allowing reduced insertion loss.

Patent GB-2506411-A (GB)
Title: Determination of position from images and associated camera positions
Inventor: GREVESON ERIC
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2012-09-28
Abstract: The absolute position of a target object point is determined using a series of images of the scene with overlapping fields of view captured by a camera on an aircraft or UAV in positions arranged in at least two dimensions across the scene and position data representing the absolute positions of the camera on capture of the respective images. The images are analysed to identify sets of image points corresponding to common object points in the scene. A bundle adjustment is performed on the sets of image points that estimate parameters representing the positions of the object points relative to the positions of the camera associated with each image, but without using input orientation data representing the orientation of the camera. The absolute position of the target object point is derived on the basis of the results of the bundle adjustment and the absolute positions of the camera represented by the position data which may be derived from GPS data. Target points in the image may then be identified by estimating a homography between one image in which a target point is designated and other images, predicting the position of the target in the other images using the homography and detecting matching image patches within a search region around the position of the designated target point in other images that match an image patch at the position of the target point in one of the images.

Filed: 2012-12-11
Abstract: A virtual shopping mall 7 00, contains virtual shop fronts 102 a-h that each operate as a gateway 126 into a virtual room 122 containing a graphic user interface (GUI). The GUI supports an area for interactive social communication between registered avatars and an online homepage of a vendor. An avatar window in the GUI contains the virtual room 122 and further presents discount codes available from the specific vendor. A second window in the GUI 300 opens simultaneously with the avatar window and presents a vendor's real-time online homepage. A personalised avatar is generated and registered by system intelligence whose overall control is managed by a marketing affiliate that promotes vendor discount codes. Registration ties the avatar to a unique IP address of a user's computer. The system-wide intelligence is configured to detect the passage of registered avatars into a specific virtual room via a specific gateway with entrance triggering both automatic sending of a cookie to the user's computer and automatic opening of the vendor's homepage. Retrieval of the cookie by the vendor's sever seamlessly correlates the marketing affiliate to the IP address at the user's point of interest at the vendor's website given that the cookie includes a unique identity associated with the marketing affiliate.

Title: Correlating transaction data
Inventor: DIXON BRET WILLIAM
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2013-01-07
Abstract: A method and system to correlate transaction data occurring at two different domains running on a common operating system image without using static, or common, correlators. Request-type event records are collected at a first domain within the operating system image, with each of the request-type event records including execution identifiers and a unique token that indicates the order in which the corresponding request-type event occurred on the first domain. Similarly, response-type event records are collected at a second domain within the operating system image, with each of the response-type event records also including the execution identifiers and a unique token that indicates the order in which the corresponding response-type event occurred. The request-type event records are matched with the response-type event records based on the execution identifiers and an overall order that is indicated by unique tokens included in the records. The matching of request-type event records with response-type event records indicate a number of inter-domain transactions which are recorded in a correlation data store. The collected tracking events can be analyzed to determine application metrics and topology.
