Appl. No.:

13/081962

Inventors:

Lin Lin Li - Morganville NJ, US
Amitkumar Mahadevan - Edison NJ, US

Assignee:

Ikanos Communications, Inc. - Fremont CA

International Classification:

H04L 27/01

US Classification:

375231, 375230

Abstract:

Various systems and methods are described for performing fractionally spaced time domain equalization (TEQ). One embodiment is a method implemented in a communication system for training a fractionally spaced time domain equalizer (TEQ). The method comprises performing an initialization phase, averaging a received signal in the system to reduce effects of noise in a channel, determining a channel estimate, and aligning an ideal reference signal with the received signal. The method further comprises updating a target response filter according to a non-integer multiple of a base sampling rate, determining an adaptation error based on useful information both inside and outside a Nyquist band of the TEQ, and updating the TEQ according to the adaptation error.

Abstract:

Exemplary embodiments in desalination by direct contact membrane distillation present a cylindrical cross-flow module containing high-flux composite hydrophobic hollow fiber membranes. The present embodiments are directed to a model that has been developed to describe the observed water production rates of such devices in multiple brine feed introduction configurations. The model describes the observed water vapor production rates for different feed brine temperatures at various feed brine flow rates. The model flux predictions have been explored over a range of hollow fiber lengths to compare the present results with those obtained earlier from rectangular modules which had significantly shorter hollow fibers.

Abstract:

In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, an exemplary system includes a hollow probe having a lumen containing one or more excitation optical fiber(s) and one or more imaging optical fiber(s) where the probe is sized to access a person's body, a first light source optically coupled to the excitation fiber(s) and configured to emit light that excites fluorescence of NADH in breast tissue, a second light source optically coupled to the excitation fiber(s) and configured to emit light that excites fluorescence of FAD in tissue such as breast tissue, an image capturing device optically coupled to the imaging fiber(s), and a controller configured to control the first light source and the image capturing device to capture NADH fluorescence signals/intensities while the probe is within the person's body and control the second light source and the image capturing device to capture FAD fluorescence signals/intensities while the probe is within the person's body.
