Abstract: A variable focus lens is constructed by making small changes in the equatorial diameter of an elastically deformable lens. The lens may be deformed by radial tension exerted in a plane generally perpendicular to the optical axis. The radial tension may be exerted by radially acting mechanical apparatus or by means of rings embedded or attached at the equator of the lens, whose diameter can be altered by heating, or by imposition of electrical or magnetic fields.

Abstract: A fiber optic splice closure assembly (8) has two end plate assemblies (12), and a closure base (9) and a closure cover (11) attached to the end plate assemblies (12). An adapter is secured within the cable entrance port in the end plate assembly to alter the end plate opening to accommodate a fiber optic cable. The adapter restrains the cable sheath against axial forces and provides a seal between the optical fiber cable, the adapter and the end plate assembly. A bracket assembly (140) is provided to anchor the optical fiber strength member to the end plate assembly (12). The closure provides a mounting bar (150) secured to the end plate assemblies (12) proximate the closure base (9) and a mounting platform (170) secured to the mounting bar (150).

Abstract: A method for and apparatus of testing a multi-port RAM (random access memory) detect single port faults and inter port shorts in multi-port random access memories. The algorithm performs a conventional single-port test such as MARCH or SMARCH on one port of the memory and performs an inter-port test on all other ports. The algorithm does not impose any extra test time and requires the addition of only a few gates to a conventional single-port BIST controller, independently of the size of the memory. An address to select ports of the multi-port RAM includes a row address signal of a plurality of bits. A specific bit of the row address signal is changed.

Abstract: A method for spectral measurement is disclosed. The method uses a low-resolution grating to disperse light and thereby image a spectrum thereof. The imaged spectrum is converted into a digital electrical signal and is processed in order to enhance the spectral information. The resulting spectral information is analogous to that captured using a higher resolution spectral imager with optical processing of the spectral data. The method is equally applicable to enhancing resolution of spectra captured using high resolution spectral imaging devices.
