20150372455 | Crossed Nanobeam Structure for a Low-Threshold Germanium Laser - A crossed nanobeam structure for strain engineering in semiconductor devices is provided. For example, such a structure can be used for a low-threshold germanium laser. While the photonic crystal nanobeam enables light confinement in a subwavelength volume with small optical loss, another crossing nanobeam induces high tensile strain in the small region where the optical mode is tightly confined. As maintaining a small optical loss and a high tensile strain reduces the required pumping for achieving net optical gain beyond cavity losses, this technique can be used to develop an extremely low-threshold Ge laser source. Moreover, the structure can be easily integrated into electronic and photonic circuits. | 12-24-2015 |

20110244847 | SCALABLE QUANTIZATION OF CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION FOR MIMO TRANSMISSION - Techniques for reporting channel state information (CSI) are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive data transmission from one or more cells among a plurality of cells and may report CSI for each of the plurality of cells. In an aspect, the UE may generate CSI with different quantization granularity (e.g., different codebook sizes), or different frequency granularity (e.g., different subband sizes), and/or different time granularity (e.g., different reporting intervals) for different cells based on the performance impact of each cell for data transmission to the UE. The performance impact of each cell may be determined based on a long-term channel gain or received power of the cell at the UE. The UE may quantize the CSI for each cell based on the codebook size for the cell. The UE may generate the CSI for each cell based on the subband size and/or the reporting interval for the cell. | 10-06-2011 |

20100299525 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SPLIT-TERMINATING A SECURE NETWORK CONNECTION, WITH CLIENT AUTHENTICATION - A method and apparatus are provided for split-terminating a secure client-server communication connection, with client authentication. During handshaking between the client and the server, cooperating network intermediaries relay the handshaking messages, without altering the messages. At least one of the intermediaries possesses a private key of the server, and extracts a set of data fields from the handshaking messages, including a Client-Key-Exchange message that can be decrypted with the private key. The intermediary uses the extracted data to compute the client-server session key separate from the client's and the server's similar computation, and may transmit the key to the other intermediary via a secure communication channel. The client and the server thus establish the end-to-end client-server connection, and may authenticate each other, after which the network intermediaries may intercept and optimize the client-server communications transparently to the client and the server. | 11-25-2010 |
