20100205611 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PARALLEL STREAM PROCESSING - We describe the design of a lightweight library using MPI to support stream-processing on acyclic process structures. The design can be used to connect together arbitrary modules where each module can be its own parallel MPI program. We make extensive use of MPI groups and communicators to increase the flexibility of the library, and to make the library easier and safer to use. The notion of a communication context in MPI ensures that libraries do not conflict where a message from one library is mistakenly received by another. The library is not required to be part of any larger workflow environment and is compatible with existing MPI execution environments. The library is part of MarketMiner, a system for executing financial workflows. | 08-12-2010 |

20130058365 | TUNABLE LASER SYSTEM HAVING FINE AND COARSE WAVELENGTH DISCRIMINATION - A tunable laser system having fine and coarse wavelength discrimination is provided. The tunable laser system includes a first filter having a first free spectral range (FSR) and a second filter having a second FSR different from the first FSR. The first filter provides a first series of pulses from a first portion of a laser output, and a second filter provides a second series of pulses from a second portion of the laser output. A processing system compares the first series of pulses and the second series of pulses to identify a series of markers, in which the markers are separated by a beat period of the first series of pulses and the second series of pulses. Advantageously, the series of markers may be used for mode-hop detection and/or for wavelength referencing. | 03-07-2013 |
20140092387 | HIGH RESOLUTION WAVELENGTH MEASUREMENT SYSTEM USING A COARSE, STABLE TIMING SIGNAL - A source generates an optical test signal sweeping a bandwidth of wavelengths over time. The test signal is applied to a device under test (DUT) to generate a response signal. A timing signal generator connected to the source generates a timing signal having triggers at time instances corresponding to known wavelengths of the test signal. A DUT detector samples the DUT response signal generating sampled DUT data using a sampling period that is shorter than a shortest time between timing signal triggers. A correlator receives the timing signal, the known wavelengths associated with the timing signal triggers, the sampled DUT data and the DUT detector sampling period then correlates each sampled DUT datum to a wavelength of the test signal that was applied to the DUT when the DUT datum was sampled by interpolating the known wavelengths using the trigger time instances and the DUT detector sampling period. | 04-03-2014 |
20140240698 | METHOD FOR CORRECTING FOR DARK CURRENT VARIATION IN TEC COOLED PHOTODIODES - An optical power meter including a photodiode having a surface for receiving a beam of light, a thermo-electric cooler for maintaining the photodiode at a predetermined temperature, and a current monitor for measuring a drive current passing through the thermo-electric cooler allows dark current drift arising from a varying thermal gradient across the active region of the photodiode to be corrected, thus improving stability of the optical power meter. More specifically, by monitoring the TEC drive current, and applying a correction factor to the optical power readings, the stability of optical power readings is improved by an order of magnitude. | 08-28-2014 |

20140252922 | ELECTRICAL MACHINES SUCH AS GENERATORS AND MOTORS - An electric machine may employ a distributed bearing, for example spaced radially outwardly of a longitudinal center of a rotor and stator assembly. The distributed bearing may take the form of a wire race bearing, which positions a rotor assembly relative to a stator assembly to maintain an air gap therebetween. The rotor assembly may be concentrically located within the stator assembly. Electrically insulative fasteners may couple a race assembly to the stator or rotor assembly. Compensation fastener assemblies may couple the wire race assembly to the rotor or stator assembly, to compensate for differential expansion for instance thermal differential expansion along a longitudinal axis of the electric machine. The electric machines may be arranged in series, for example with drive shafts arranged along a common axis, and may be coupled to the same source of motion (e.g., propeller of wind turbine, without or with a gear box). | 09-11-2014 |

20120038664 | MANAGING OCCLUDING OBJECTS IN LAYOUTS OF GRAPHIC OBJECTS - A user may position a graphic object in a layout and the computer automatically knocks out frames to accommodate it. In implementation, a panel or panel set also may allow occluded or overlapping frames to be knocked out automatically in response to a user positioning an object in the layout in the graphical user interface. The computer determines from the size, position and orientation of the object which frames in a panel are overlapping or occluded, marks them as knocked out, and rearranges objects in the panel. As a result, the other images on the page appear to flow around the occluding or overlapping frame. Any textual labels or other information displayed for the occluded or overlapping frames also can be suppressed. A user can overlay as many occluding or overlapping objects as desired over a panel. Automatically knocking out occluded or overlapping frames streamlines the process of laying out complex panel designs, because the user can reposition and resize objects without needing to manually knock out the potentially many panel frames that overlap or occlude another object. | 02-16-2012 |

20150106344 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INTELLIGENT ARCHIVE SEARCHING IN MULTIPLE REPOSITORY SYSTEMS - Systems and methods of providing a configurable table of rules that defines a repository/archive search priority that includes multiple repositories/archives. In this manner, repository/archives are successively searched and after a first result is returned the search is stopped. Repository/archives searched in priority order based on location in pre-configured “tiers.” This enables searches to be directed to repository/archives that are best able to handle load for different types of searches, and for different types of studies as well. A duplicate priority list enables an administrator to designate which repository/archive will appear on search results list if duplicates are found. For example, in clinical study archiving systems, the search priority enables an administrator to direct searches to repository best able to handle load for different types of searches and for different types of studies. | 04-16-2015 |
