Title: Method and system for fabricating nanoscale patterns in light curable compositions using an electric field
Inventor: WILLSON C GRANT
IPC: G03F7/26
Filed: 2002-05-16
Abstract: A high-throughput lithography process for creating high-resolution patterns in a polymerizable composition using carefully controlled electric fields followed by curing of the polymerizable composition is described. The process involves the use of a template that includes the desired patterns. This template is brought into close proximity to the polymerizable composition on the substrate. An external electric field is applied to the template-substrate interface while maintaining a uniform, carefully controlled gap between the template and substrate. This causes the polymerizable composition to be attracted to the raised portions of the template. By appropriately choosing the various process parameters such as the viscosity of the polymerizable composition, the magnitude of the electric field, and the distance between the template and substrate, the resolution of the structures formed in the liquid may be controlled to conform to that of the template.

Title: Receiver with selection between a decision feedback equalizer and a linear equalizer
Inventor: SMEE JOHN
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2003-06-04
Abstract: Techniques for selecting either a DFE or an LE for use to equalize a received signal, and for quickly and efficiently determining the coefficients for the selected equalizer. In an embodiment, a method is provided whereby the DFE is initially adapted based on the received signal and a particular adaptive algorithm (e.g., the LMS algorithm) for an initial time period. A quality metric is then determined for an output of the DFE. The DFE is selected for use if the quality metric is better than a threshold value, and the LE is selected otherwise. If the LE is selected, then the initial values for the coefficients of the LE may be derived based on the coefficients of a feed-forward filter and a feedback filter for the DFE, and the LE coefficients may further be adapted for an additional time period prior to its use to equalize the received signal.

Title: Multi-fiber variable intensity wide-angle illuminator
Inventor: CAZZINI KARL
IPC: F21Y101/00
Filed: 2006-04-28
Abstract: An illuminator and surgical illumination system are disclosed, one embodiment of the surgical illumination system comprising: a light source for providing a light beam; an optical cable, optically coupled to the light source for receiving and transmitting the light beam; a handpiece operably coupled to the optical cable; an optical fiber assembly operably coupled to the handpiece, wherein the optical fiber assembly is optically coupled to the optical cable to receive and transmit the light beam and wherein the optical fiber assembly comprises a plurality of fiber guides, wherein each fiber guide comprises a cladding having one or more fiber cores for transmitting and scattering the light beam to illuminate the surgical field, and a cannula, operably coupled to the handpiece for housing and directing the optical fiber assembly. The surgical illumination system can further comprise a separator operable to maintain a spacing between the fiber guides. The optical fiber assembly, the cannula, and the handpiece can be fabricated from biocompatible materials. The optical fiber assembly can be operably coupled to the handpiece to enable linear displacement of the optical fiber assembly within the cannula. The handpiece can include an adjustment means, such as a push/pull mechanism, for adjusting the linear displacement of the optical fiber assembly. Other adjusting means as known to those in the art can also be used including, for example, a mechanical coupling, an electrical coupling, a magnetic coupling, a pneumatic coupling or any combination thereof. The distal end of the optical fiber assembly can be coincident with an open aperture of the cannula. Adjusting the linear displacement via the adjusting means can thus cause the optical fiber assembly to exit the open aperture by an amount corresponding to the change in linear displacement (a reverse adjustment can retract the optical fiber assembly). Further, a separator can be positioned between the fiber guides in such a way that the fiber guides can be uniformly displaced outward from one another by an amount proportional to the change in linear displacement from the distal end of the cannula.
