Appl. No.:

10/045769

Inventors:

Scott D. Sanders - Fremont CA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F013/00

US Classification:

709219, 709228, 719328

Abstract:

Override client version properties are used to selectively replace default client version properties of a web browser to obtain versions of web resources that are operational on the web browser. A client operating the web browser issues a request for content through a proxy server. Using an index, the proxy server determines whether the content is to be requested using an override client version property set. If so, the override client version property set is used to request the content form the web server and causes the web server to respond with content that has been designed or optimized for a web server other than the one operating on the client. Accordingly, the client can obtain fully functional and operational versions of the web resources using client version properties that are selected based on the capabilities of the web browser and the functionality available in different versions of individual web resources.

Inventors:

Scott T. Sanders - Madison WI, US

Assignee:

Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI

International Classification:

G01J 3/28

US Classification:

356326, 372 21

Abstract:

A high scan rate spectroscopic system converts a narrow-band laser pulse into a multispectral pulse, using, for example, a nonlinear fiber. The multispectral pulse is then converted to a swept frequency pulse through a second fiber impressing a frequency-dependent delay in the light beam which is then applied to the object to be tested.

International Classification:

H01S 3/30

US Classification:

359333, 372 5

Abstract:

An ultraviolet super-continuum source with a fiber-optic may be provided with direct stimulation by a laser having a relatively narrow bandwidth, for example, less than the typical Raman shift in the material of the optical fiber to provide a super-continuum source extending for wavelengths below 400 nanometers.

International Classification:

G01B 9/02

US Classification:

356454, 356484

Abstract:

An apparatus and method are provided for conducting heterodyne frequency-comb spectroscopy. The apparatus includes a first and second frequency-comb generators for generating corresponding first and second continuous wave laser beams, respectively. The first beam defines a spectrum of light having a plurality of modes spaced by a first frequency. The second beam defines a spectrum of light having a plurality of modes spaced by a second frequency that is greater than the first frequency. The first and second beams are combined and the optical power of the combined beam is monitored with a data acquisition system to record a time trace. The recorded time trace is Fourier transformed such that each of spectrums of the first and second beams will exhibit a low-frequency comb. By superimposing the two combs, a beat frequency in a low-frequency region is assigned to an optical frequency.
