20100142937 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING AUTO MICRO FUNCTION OF LENS MODULE - A method for controlling an auto macro function of a lens module is provided. Firstly, a control switching module is provided. The both terminals of the coil of the lens module are connected to a power source and the control switching module, respectively. In response to a first signal state of a control signal, a constant current is transmitted from the power source to the coil. The magnets attached on the magnet yoke provide a permanent magnetic field, and the constant current passing through the coil causes a magnetic force to be generated on the coil while moving the lens holder toward the magnet yoke by a constant distance. In response to a second signal state of the control signal, the power source stops transmitting the constant current to the coil, wherein a restoring force generated by the deformed spring causes the lens holder to return to its original position. | 2010-06-10 |

The wavelength determining means may determine the wavelength of an unreceived optical signal as the available wavelength or may determine the wavelength of a received optical signal as the available wavelength, and may set that wavelength as a transmission and reception wavelength to be used in the remote apparatus. | 2010-06-10 |
20100142956 | Method and Apparatus for Reshaping a Channel Signal - Higher rate channels (e.g., 40 Giga bits or greater) have large bandwidths and are susceptible to inter-channel crosstalk. Optical tunable filters may be used to overcome crosstalk. Tunable filters do not maintain their central wavelength over a long duration or a wide temperature range. An example embodiment of the present invention relates to shaping a channel signal within a dense wavelength division multiplexing signal and may employ a tunable filter and input and output optical power detectors to measure a modulated source channel signal at an input of the tunable filter and a filtered modulated source channel signal at an output of the tunable filter. A controller is configured to adjust a center wavelength of the tunable filter as a function of a difference between measurements of optical power by the optical power detectors. Adjusting the center wavelength shapes the channel signal and overcomes undesired effects for higher rate channels. | 2010-06-10 |

20100142966 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCED FREE SPACE OPTICAL COMMUNICATION IN AN AVIATION ENVIRONMENT - A free space optical communications link is established, for example, between a commercial aircraft and an airport ground terminal unit, the link being asymmetric in the sense that a downlink to the aircraft has a much higher bandwidth than the reverse link from the aircraft so that the system is adapted for quickly loading large amounts of data (e.g., in-flight entertainment) onto the aircraft while still providing enough bandwidth for the lesser amounts of data (e.g., maintenance data) required to be transmitted from the aircraft to ground. Such adaptation provides significant benefits over standard, commercially available, free space optical communications systems. For example, equipment on the aircraft can be much smaller and lighter than ground unit equipment; and the communications link can allow for greater uncertainty in the alignment of the optical transceivers than do current free space optical communication systems and can allow for operation in harsher environmental conditions. | 2010-06-10 |
