Abstract: A semiconductor device, preferably  a laser device such as a signal generator, a signal amplifier or a sig-nal detector e.g. a distributed feedback laser, which is implemented in III/V semiconductors.   Such devices of-ten require a barrier layer to encourage current flow to pass through the localised p/n-interface and this invention provides the barrier layer in the form of a layer of hole trapping semiconductor material located between and in contact with two p-type layers.  III/V semiconductors con-tain at least one of indium, gallium and aluminium  and at least one of phosphorus and arsenic but the preferred devices ate laser devices implemented in various types of indium phosphide except for the active zone wherein pho-tons are generated.  The active zone is preferably formed of ternary and/or quaternary semiconductors. In the pre-ferred structures the barrier layer is formed of chromium doped indium phosphide which is located between two layers of p-type indium phosphide.  Alternative structures have (a) titanium doped indium phosphide between two layers of p-type indium phosphide.

Patent CA-2166545-C (CA)
Inventor: PARKE IAN
IPC: H03M7/36
Filed: 1994-07-29
Granted: 2000-02-01
Abstract: Telescopic predictive coding of video frames reduces the number of pixels in a reference frame which are required to be processed. However, given that offsets for adjacent blocks may differ, it is difficult to parallel process the reference data for real-time coding. After first-frame motion vectors have been calculated, a region of the reference pixels is read which is large enough to accommodate the direct calculation of motion vector for the second frame, thus allowing pixel values to be processed in parallel. However, although all of the read pixels are made available to each processor, the processors only latch the values which are actually required for the particular motion vector being calculated. This is achieved by supplying an enabling signal to the processors, which is determined by processing the first-frame motion vectors.

Granted: 2002-03-26
Abstract: In order to test provisioned data and functionality of a network, the operations personnel input data via an operations interface to an originating network element. The originating network element constructs a test query based on the data and selects a receiving network element to be tested. When the originating network element sends the test query to the receiving network element, the test query isprocessed as if it is a normal network query. A response to the test query is returned to the originating network element and reported to the operations personnel. Thereported response contains not only the test results of the provisioned data in the receiving network element but also the routing functionality of the network.
