Title: Integrating multi-waveguide sensor
Inventor: FELDSTEIN MARK J
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 2000-03-22
Abstract: A waveguide-based sensing system includes a plurality of waveguides (16) secured within a waveguide holder (12). Each waveguide has a sensing surface (18) with attached analyte recognition elements. The end faces (22, 24) of the sensing surfaces are perpendicular (or at least approximately perpendicular) to the sensing surfaces. The sensing surfaces are directly excited by light (20) directed normal thereto and emit optical signals responsive to the presence of an analyte. These optical signals are coupled into waveguides. The optical signals travel along the length of the waveguides. The integrated optical signals emitted from the end surfaces of the fibers are then detected and analyzed.

Abstract: A digital system includes a master device, a set of slave devices, and a clock generator to generate a clock signal. A transmission channel includes a clock-to-master path extending from the clock generator, through the set of slave devices, to the master device. The transmission channel also includes a clock-from-master path extending from the master device and through the set of slave devices. The transmission channel also includes a slave-to-master path positioned between a first slave device of the set of slave devices and the master device. A master-to-slave path is positioned between the master device and the first slave device. The cumulative length of the slave-to-master path and the master-to-slave path creates a master routing phase shift between a clock signal on the clock-to-master path and a clock signal on the clock-from-master path. A first lead samples the clock signal on the slave-to-master path. A second lead samples the clock signal on the master-to-slave path. A clock latency adjustment circuit is connected to the first lead and the second lead to produce an adjusted clock signal on the master-to-slave path to compensate for the master routing phase shift.

Abstract: A rotary encoder has a scale 22 which rotates relative to a
pair of readheads 14. Each of the readheads projects light
onto the scale and generates at an analyser grating 40, a
periodic light pattern, such as interference fringes. The
interference fringes and the analyser grating interact to
produce a series of resultant Vernier fringes which are
incident upon a structure detector array 100. In one
embodiment the analyser grating is configured to interact
with the angularly extending interference fringes to
generate linear resultant fringes. It has been found that
phase errors due to eccentric rotation of the scale 22
reduce with decreasing pitch of the resultant fringes.
