Filed:

Jul 23, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/911926

Derek Spock - Boston MA
Murat Azizoglu - Concord MA
Jonathan C. Bloch - Boston MA

Assignee:

Sycamore Networks, Inc. - Chelmsford MA

International Classification:

H01S 300

US Classification:

359349, 3593412

Abstract:

An optical amplifier for a 4-fiber system having two inputs and outputs is provided that makes use of a single amplifier rather than two separate amplifiers. The optical amplifier node makes use of an interleaver before and after the single amplifier to demultiplex and multiplex even and odd channel signals traveling in opposite directions. The arrangement can also amplify wide channel spaced signals traveling through a plurality of optical fibers. The optical amplifier node can be combined with other like amplifier nodes to provide more complex amplifier solutions at reduced costs due to the need for only half of the typical number of amplifiers. The optical amplifier node can also be combined with, e. g. , variable optical attenuators, L/C/S filters, channel add/drop, co- and counter-propagating Raman amplification, and dispersion compensation modules to modify the optical signals as desired.

G06F 9/45

US Classification:

719318, 715236, 707102, 717143

Abstract:

An event translator system for receiving input information, parsing event data on the input information to produce a result event data set and generating an event list based on an analysis of the event the result data set, performing an event listing and displaying event list to a user interface module. The event translation system translating event data also include receiving user feedback on the event listing and using the user feedback to improve subsequent operations of at least one harvesting algorithm. Translating event data also includes at least two harvesting algorithms for performing the input information to generate a plurality of result event data sets and creating an event listing for display to a user interface module based on an analysis of the plurality of result event data sets.

International Classification:

H04N 5/761

US Classification:

386296, 386293

Abstract:

A system for loading videos includes an interactive video player is with a loader. A product configuration file in operation configures files for a user in creation of a custom video. External assets are configured for a design of an interactive layer of the video. The interactive video player in operation creates in real-time a custom video that includes a plurality of video segments.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

Abstract:

Systems and methods for dynamically weighting media segments and paths in a structured media presentation are disclosed. The structured media presentation can be, for example, a video tree representing a branching video presentation and defining multiple branches, each defining a path of one or more video content segments. Different portions of the video tree are associated with weights, and during playback of the branching video presentation, a video content segment is automatically selected for presentation based on one or more of the associated weights.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

Abstract:

In viewing a media presentation having multiple streams or tracks running in parallel and synchronized to a common playback timeline, a user experiencing one of the streams will miss interesting events and other content occurring in other streams. Accordingly, upon receiving an instruction to switch from a first stream to a second stream, a summary of the second stream is dynamically generated based on content that the user missed while watching the first stream. The summary is presented to the user prior to transitioning to presentation of the second stream.
