Title: Multi-level optical signalling with quadratic level spacing
Inventor: GRIFFIN ROBERT ANTHONY
IPC: H04B10/54
Filed: 2001-08-16
Abstract: The use of multi-level signalling in optical links may provide an improvement in system capacity compared to conventional binary signalling. Unlike conventional electronic or radio systems, in optically amplified links - where optical noise is dominant - equally spaced signalling levels are not optimum. For these links, the use of signalling levels with quadratic spacing can provide the lowest bit error rate for a given signal power, allowing a 6 dB reduction in launched optical power. The invention described is an arrangement to produce multi-level optical signalling with quadratic spacing. A multi-level optical signal generator for generating a multi-level optical signal in optical links in response to two or more electrical signals. A light source arrangement provides a respective optical signal for each electrical signal utilising either separate light sources corresponding to each electrical signal or preferably, a single light source and a beam splitter. Each optical signal is modulated in response to its respective electrical signal and the signals are combined to produce the multi-level optical signal, preferably with quadratic spacing.

Title: Configuring Access to Services or a Database Using a Job Ticket
Inventor: FOSTER WARD S
IPC: G06F15/00
Filed: 2002-05-20
Abstract: A job ticket service allows clients to define databases, and to store data though the job ticket service. The databases may be used to hold contact lists, addresses, and other personal data. The databases may also be used to store any other generic data. The databases could then be used in conjunction with a variety of e-services provided by the processors. For example, an e-mail processor that provides email services may be used in conjunction with a personal contact list to send e-mail messages, transfer electronic files, or to establish a chat room. The e-mail processor may access the contact list at predefined intervals to send e-mail messages to a select group of e-mail addressees. Furthermore, because the service center provides a single portal to processors that are coupled to the communications network, the client need not have any knowledge of the database structure, or the processing requirements of the processors.

Title: Reconfigurable flash media reader system
Inventor: HAN CHING-YUNG
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 2002-08-21
Abstract: A reconfigurable flash media reader system that accepts both asynchronous and synchronous flash media cards. The reader identifies the card type of the inserted flash media card and notifies the host computer. The host computer has a list of interface information for different types of flash media cards and references the card type in the list and sets the proper baud rate on the reader. If the flash media card is a synchronous card, data that is to be written into the flash media card is gathered and converted to the proper card 10 strobes which are interleaved with the proper card clock strobes for the card type into a bit stream in a bulk transfer packet. The reader extracts the data bit stream from said bulk transfer packet and clocks the data bit stream into the flash media card using the baud rate as a reference clock.

Title: Reflector time of flight mass spectrometer including second ion selector acting as a mask to unwanted ions
Inventor: HOLLE ARMIN
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 2002-10-07
Abstract: The invention relates to methods and instruments for measuring daughter-ion spectra in reflector time-of flight mass spectrometers with post-acceleration of parent and daughter ions selected by means of a parent-ion selector. The invention consists of using a second selector 9 to mask out all or at least a large fraction of the parent ions as well as those metastable daughter ions, which are produced by the decomposition of parent ions after post-acceleration. These ions not only produce 'ghost' peaks but also a high level of background noise as well as a parent ion peak which is excessively saturated and cannot be evaluated. This peak in the ion current is capable of damaging the detector. The remaining small fraction of parent ions or the special addition of a small portion of parent ions, practically free of metastable ions, to the daughter ion spectra, produce a parent ion peak which can be used as a mass reference for a mass calculation to correct all instrument and control-related effects on the mass calculation.
