International Classification:

H01S 3/00

US Classification:

359337, 3593374

Abstract:

An optical communications system includes a plurality of optical fiber spans. An optical loss of one of the plurality of optical fiber spans is different from an optical loss of another one of the plurality of optical fiber spans. At least one of the plurality of optical fiber spans includes an optical loss that is greater than or equal to 35 dB and at least one of the plurality of optical fiber spans includes an optical loss that is less than 30 dB. An optical amplification system includes at least one discrete optical amplifier, at least one distributed optical amplifier, and an optical loss element. The optical amplification system has spectral gain that compensates for substantially all losses experienced by the optical signals propagating in the plurality of optical fiber spans.

US Classification:

359334, 398 15, 398 25

Abstract:

An optical communications system initiates automatic power reduction by selecting a portion of a Raman optical pumping signal from optical signals propagating on an optical fiber span. A signal related to a magnitude of the selected portion of the Raman optical pumping signal is generated. Power of at least one of the optical data signals and the optical pumping signals propagating in the optical fiber span is reduced in response to the generated signal.

Appl. No.:

12/678346

Inventors:

Darwin Adams - Lexington MA, US
Andrew Robinson - Bellevue WA, US

Assignee:

Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. - Eindhoven

International Classification:

A61B 8/14

US Classification:

600459, 600437

Abstract:

A curved array ultrasound transducer is described which is usable in both sector and curved linear modes. The transducer includes a central portion () of elements and lateral portions () of elements on either side of the central portion. In the sector mode the central portion of elements is operated to perform phased array scanning. In the curved linear mode both the central and lateral portions of elements are operated to perform curved linear array scanning. The transducer elements of the central portion have a finer pitch than the pitch of the transducer elements of the lateral portions. In the sector mode, the elements of the central portion are operated individually, and in the curved linear mode the transducer elements of the central portion are operated in pairs. In the sector mode, the number of transducer elements of the central portion that participate in the active aperture of the transducer may be varied according to the number of transducer elements in acoustic contact with the patient.

International Classification:

H04B 10/08

US Classification:

398030000

Abstract:

An optical supervisory channel includes a transmit path that propagates optical supervisory signals to a high span loss optical fiber span having an optical loss that is greater than 35 dB. A wavelength division multiplexer adds the optical supervisory signals to the high span loss optical fiber span. A second wavelength division multiplexer extracts the optical supervisory signals from the high span loss optical fiber span. A receive path propagates the optical supervisory signals away from the high span loss optical fiber span. The optical supervisory channel also includes a means for reducing a bit error rate of the optical supervisory channel.

International Classification:

A61B 8/00

US Classification:

600459

Abstract:

A matrix array probe including a transducer array and integrated circuitry coupled to the transducer elements dissipates heat generated by the array and integrated circuitry through the cover of the transducer probe. A pump in the probe connector pumps fluid through a closed loop system including inbound an outbound fluid conduits in the cable. The fluid conduits in the cable are separated by the cable electrical conductors for the probe. The heat transfer in the probe is done by a heat exchanger in the probe spaceframe or transducer stack backing block and may use a Peltier device. Additional cooling may be provided by metal to metal contact with a chiller in the ultrasound system.

Abstract:

A D ultrasound imaging system has a number of different probes for different clinical applications. Each D imaging probe has a one dimensional array transducer and one or more microbeamformers coupled to the individual elements of the array. Preferably the microbeamformers are the same, and serve as a standard component of the system. The microbeamformers combine signals from the elements of their transducers and every probe has from four to sixteen outputs of partially beamformed signals. The mainframe system has a beamformer with four to sixteen channels, which completes the beamformation process for each probe.
