Title: A tunable laser-based infrared imaging system and method of use thereof
Inventor: DIEM MAX
IPC: G01J5/02
Filed: 2011-04-11
Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for imaging tissue and other samples or samples using infrared (IR) transmissions from coherent transmission sources, such as a wide range, tunable, quantum cascade laser (QCL) designed for the rapid collection of infrared microscopic data for medical diagnostics across a wide range of discrete spectral increments. The infrared transmissions are transmitted through, reflected from, and/or transreflected through a sample, and then magnified and/or focused prior to being detected by a detector. After detection, the sample related image data is used to assess the sample. Such methods, devices, and systems may be used to detect abnormalities in tissue, for example, before such abnormalities can be diagnosed using art cytopathological methods. The methods, devices and systems may also optionally include a visible light detection subsystem and/or a motion control subsystem to assist in control and processing of imaging.

Abstract: In a hearing aid, a direct-digital H-bridge output driver stage driven by a sigma-delta modulator is configured to operate in a power-saving three-level output mode or a power-consuming two-level output mode. The three-level output mode of the H-bridge output driver stage has low power consumption but suffers the disadvantage of emitting capacitive noise potentially interfering with the reception of radio signals in a radio receiver in the hearing aid. By providing a novel method of selecting the two-level output mode whenever the radio receiver is receiving signals, and selecting the three-level output mode whenever the radio receiver is idle, this capacitive interference does not disturb the radio receiver in the hearing aid. The invention provides a method and a hearing aid.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide transmitters (1102) and receivers (1104) for managing multiple optical signals. High order modulation, such as phase and/or amplitude modulation, is used to achieve multiple bits per symbol by transporting multiple asynchronous data streams in an optical transport system (100). One or more supplemental multiplexing techniques such as time division multiplexing, polarization multiplexing and sub-carrier multiplexing may be used in conjunction with the high order modulation processing. This may be done in various combinations to realize a highly spectrally efficient multi-data stream transport mechanism. The system receives a number of asynchronous signals which are unframed (102) and synchronized (104), and then reframed (106) and tagged (108) prior to the high order modulation (112). Differential encoding (110) may also be performed. Upon reception of the multiplexed optical signal, the receiver circuitry (116) may employ either direct detection without a local oscillator or coherent detection with a local oscillator.
