20100316072 | METHODS FOR STABILIZING THE OUTPUT OF A PULSED LASER SYSTEM HAVING PULSE SHAPING CAPABILITIES - Methods stabilize the output of a pulsed laser system using pulse shaping capabilities. In some embodiments, transient effects following a transition between a QCW regime and a pulse shaping regime are mitigated by ensuring that the average QCW optical power substantially corresponds to the average pulsed optical power outputted in a steady-state operation of the pulsed laser system in the pulse shaping regime. The QCW signal or the pulse shaping signal may be adapted for this purpose. In other embodiments, transient effects associated with non-process pulses emitted between series of consecutive process pulses are mitigated through the proper use of sequential pulse shaping. | 12-16-2010 |
20110284507 | METHOD FOR STABLIZING AN OUTPUT OF A PULSED LASER SYSTEM USING PULSE SHAPING - A method for stabilizing an output of a pulsed laser system includes a directly modulated laser diode by mitigating the effect of switching transients on the temporal shape of the outputted pulses. The method includes controlling a pulse shaping signal to define, over time, processing and conditioning periods. During the processing periods, the pulse shaping signal has an amplitude profile tailored to produce the desired temporal shape of the output. Each conditioning period either immediately precedes or follows a processing period. During a given processing period, the amplitude profile of the pulse shaping signal is tailored so that the drive current of the laser diode is lower than its maximum value during the corresponding processing period, and is of the same order of magnitude as the laser threshold current of the laser diode. In this manner, the stability of the output during the corresponding processing period is improved. | 11-24-2011 |

20100190868 | PHOTOCHROMIC AND ELECTROCHROMIC COMPOUNDS AND SYNTHESIS AND USE THEREOF - Novel photochromic and electrochromic hexadiene compounds are described. The compounds are reversibly convertible between ring-open and ring-closed isomeric forms as indicated in structures I(o) and I(c) below. (See formula in original abstract of application) The conversion between the different isomeric forms may be induced by light or electricity. In one embodiment the compounds may include a charge transfer moiety including electron donor and acceptor groups. The electron donor and acceptor are linearly conjugated in the ring-open form to enable electron transfer but are electrically insulated in the ring-closed form. Methods for synthesizing the compounds from photochemically and/or electrically inert precursors are also described. For example, the photoresponsive compounds may be synthesized by reacting diene precursors with dienophiles in a condensation reaction. The compounds may be utilized in reactivity-gated photochromic or electrochromic applications. In one embodiment of the invention, compounds of the invention may be used in a method to selectively release a releasable agent, such as a small molecule. According to this method, a photochemically inert precursor compound is reacted with the releasable agent to form a carrier compound comprising a switching moiety, the switching moiety being reversibly convertible between a thermally unstable form and a thermally stable form. The switching moiety may be selectively converted between the first and second forms to cause controlled release of the releasable agent from the carrier compound. | 07-29-2010 |

20090116404 | TOPOLOGY DISCOVERY IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS - A Next Generation Network (NGN) resource management system and method includes a network topology discovery mechanism at the scale of an administrative domain. Information about nodes and links, such as bandwidth, delay, jitter, name and description of devices is collected and stored in a database by way of a protocol. The protocol is notifications-based, which involves each node device (e.g., a switch, router etc.) notifying its presence to its neighboring node. | 05-07-2009 |
20090161541 | RESOURCE ALLOCATION PLAN IN A NETWORK - A method and Resource Allocation Manager Entity for obtaining an improved resource allocation plan for the network. Traffic requests currently exist in a network, each of which having a source, a destination and at least one Quality of Service (QoS) requirement being represented by a QoS value. For each traffic request, at least one potential path consisting of a plurality of links is computed. An iteration matrix is generated having the potential path on first axis, the links on second axis and the QoS requirement on third axis. The iteration matrix is filled by, for each of potential path, distributing the QoS value of the QoS requirement over the links for enabling a gradient space calculation method on the iteration matrix. The gradient space calculation method is applied to the iteration matrix until an iteration marker thereof indicates that the iteration matrix contains the improved resource allocation plan. | 06-25-2009 |

The network resource module detects the network nodes, abstracts the resources associated with the network nodes at a desired granularity (e.g., node level or flow level) into Virtual Resource Objects (VROs), and then publishes the VROs in a registry. Thereafter, Virtual Network Operators (VROs) select desired VROs from the registry to build the virtual infrastructure for the virtual network. | 03-07-2013 |

A destination geographic area of the destination node is determined. An intermediate node located in an intermediate geographic area that is adjacent to a source geographic area of the source node and is in a direction that is toward the destination geographic area is determined based at least in part on the destination geographic area. Connectivity with the intermediate node is requested or established. A determination is made as to whether the adjacent intermediate geographic area is the destination geographic area. If the determined adjacent intermediate geographic area is not the destination geographic area, a next intermediate node in another intermediate geographic area that is adjacent to the intermediate geographic area and is in a direction that is toward the destination geographic area is determined. | 01-23-2014 |
20140245077 | PROVIDING HIGH AVAILABILITY FOR STATE-AWARE APPLICATIONS - A middleware that manages high availability of a software application is automatically configured when the software application is added to a system. The method of automatic configuration includes receiving a user input that specifies availability requirements and information of the software application, where the availability requirements include at least a checkpoint service that enables the software application to save and retrieve its state. The method also includes identifying a checkpoint agent for providing the checkpoint service to the software application. The checkpoint agent includes a first interface to the software application and a second interface, different from the first interface, to the middleware. A middleware configuration is generated that satisfies the availability requirements, based on the information of the software application such that the middleware offers the checkpoint service to the software application through the checkpoint agent and directly manages lifecycles of the software application. | 08-28-2014 |
