20150263984 | COMMUNICATION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACCESSING MEDIA DATA - Providing access to media data shared by multiple users. A predefined edge weight is assigned to each edge of a linked data structure based on a dependency category of the edge. A first access rating value is assigned to each node. A rating residue value is calculated as the difference between the two first access rating values of the nodes connected by each edge. The data structure is traversed from a seed node, and for each edge traversed, calculating a second access rating value using an edge weight value and the first access rating value. Repeating until the rating residue values meet a predefined convergence criterion. The nodes having access rating values meeting a predefined data removal criterion are selected from the nodes of the linked data structure. The data entities corresponding to the selected nodes are then removed. | 09-17-2015 |

20110228380 | NON-LINEAR OPTICAL DEVICE - A non-linear optical device includes a frequency-conversion waveguide and first and second input waveguides. The longitudinal axes of the input waveguides are inclined to that of the frequency-conversion waveguide such a first transverse mode is excited in the latter at the input frequency in operation of the device. The frequency-conversion waveguide supports a second transverse mode at an output frequency of the device, such that the phase velocity of the second transverse mode at the output frequency is substantially equal to that of the first transverse mode at the input frequency, thus providing phase-matching by balancing the effects of chromatic and modal dispersion. | 09-22-2011 |

20100148093 | COVERT ILLUMINATION - This invention relates to methods and apparatus for covert illumination. The method involves illuminating the scene with light which is tuned to an absorption resonances of atmospheric oxygen gas. Light tuned to have a wavelength corresponding to an oxygen absorption wavelength travelling through the atmosphere is therefore attenuated by absorption. The method therefore teaches that a low power illumination source can be used to illuminate nearby objects, thus allowing the detail thereof to be resolved, and the illuminating light reflected from the object, or even the light source itself, will be undetectable beyond a certain range due to atmospheric absorption. The illumination may be used in conjunction with the use of low light level imagers to image a scene. Alternatively the illumination could be used for short range optical communication which will be undetectable at much longer range. | 06-17-2010 |
20100329289 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING OPTICAL BEATS - Apparatus comprising an optical fibre laser having at least two laser cores and means arranged to combine laser output from the at least two laser cores at a first end of the optical fibre laser to produce a combined laser output having one or more beat signals. | 12-30-2010 |

20140300372 | Fuel Dispenser Tamper Detection Arrangement - Methods and systems provide for detecting tampering of a fuel dispenser. Power is applied to a valve coil of a fuel dispenser. The valve coil is part of a control valve configured to accomplish a gradated fuel flow of the fuel dispenser. Current flowing through the valve coil is measured in response to the power being applied to the valve coil. The current measurements are compared with predetermined criteria and tampering with the valve coil is determined if the current measurements are sufficiently different than expected. | 10-09-2014 |

20160114568 | METHOD FOR PREPARING STRUCTURED ADHESIVE ARTICLES - Methods of forming laminating adhesive articles include providing a multi-layer article, an embossing tool with a structured surface, and a support surface tool. The multi-layer articles include a substrate, an adhesive layer, and a liner or may just include an adhesive layer and a liner. The multi-layer article is placed between the structured surface of the embossing tool and the support surface tool. The embossing tool is pressed against the liner and the support surface tool is simultaneously pressed against the substrate by applying pressure or a combination of pressure and heat. The pressing causes the structures on the surface of the embossing tool to distort the liner and the adhesive layer and the support surface tool modifies the surface of the substrate. The distortion in the liner is retained upon release of the applied pressure. Upon removal of the liner from the adhesive layer, the structures on the adhesive layer are unstable, but do not immediately collapse. | 04-28-2016 |

20160112322 | DYNAMIC POWER REDUCTION MANAGEMENT OF NETWORK DEVICES - Power consumption levels of a network device can be adjusted based upon traffic flow at the device. A network device can recognize a situation where the traffic flow associated with a CPE device reaches a level that can be supported by a smaller channel set, and when this situation arises, the CPE device can request and receive an updated, smaller channel set. In response to receiving the smaller channel set, the CPE device can operate using fewer resources, thereby reducing power consumption at the CPE device. When traffic level at the CPE device warrants, the CPE device can request and receive a new or updated, larger channel set. | 04-21-2016 |
