Adders each add up an addition value sent from a metric calculator and a state metric read from a memory. A maximum value selector generates a first likelihood when a data bit is 1, based on the addition values added up by the adders. A maximum value selector generates a second likelihood when a data bit is 0, based on the addition values added up by the adders. A subtracter subtracts the second likelihood from the first likelihood to generate a likelihood ratio, and a subtracter subtracts data from the likelihood ratio and generates extrinsic information. A re-normalizer multiplies the extrinsic information by a predetermined value to re-normalize it and temporarily stores it in a memory. The extrinsic information stored in the memory is used as the prior probability information for the next iterative decoding.

An optical polarization beam splitter comprises a first optical fiber having an end defining a first optical axis, a second optical fiber having an end defining a second optical axis, and a third optical fiber having an end defining a third optical axis parallel to and spaced apart from the second optical axis. A collimating lens is disposed along the first optical axis positioned to form a collimated optical beam from the first optical fiber. A focussing lens is disposed along a path of the collimated optical beam. A birefringent walk-off crystal has a first face adjacent to the focussing lens and a second face located at a focal plane of the focussing lens and in contact with the ends of the second and third optical fibers. The birefringent crystal is oriented such that and has a thickness between its first and second faces selected such that a first component of the optical beam having a first polarization exits the crystal at its second face and enters the end of the second optical fiber along the second optical axis and a second component of the optical beam having a second polarization orthogonal to the polarization of the first polarization exits the crystal at its second face and enters the end of the third optical fiber along the third optical axis.

As will be described in more detail hereinafter, an intracavity doubled single longitudinal mode laser is disclosed which provides stable (i.e., low amplitude variation in its output beam intensity), efficient operation in conjunction with a highly advantageous decoupled alignment configuration. An associated method is also disclosed. A lasant material is positioned in the light path of the laser for producing light at a desired fundamental wavelength and possibly other, unwanted wavelengths. Polarizing means is also positioned in the light path for polarizing the desired fundamental wavelength and the unwanted wavelengths of light. In addition to the polarizing means, birefringent means is positioned in the light path on one side of the polarizing means for selectively subjecting the unwanted wavelengths to losses in cooperation with the polarizing means such that the unwanted wavelengths are extinguished while the desired fundamental wavelength is subjected to a level of loss above a lasing threshold so that the desired fundamental wavelength lases. A type I doubling material is adjustably arranged in the light path for producing the doubled frequency light at twice the frequency of the desired fundamental frequency passing therethrough and for adjustment of phase matching which establishes an efficiency at which the doubled light frequency is produced. The birefringent means and the type I doubling material are arranged on opposite sides of the polarizing means along the light path so as to substantially decouple wavelength selection performed by adjusting the birefringent means from the phase matching adjustment performed by adjusting the type I doubling material.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for treating the epidermis with actinic light includes a solid state diode system with a continuous output. The light beam is generated by either a high power light emitting diode or a laser diode or a combination thereof. A computer controlled pattern generator (CCPG) directs the continuous light beam to trace predetermined patterns on a selected area of the skin. This integrated continuous light source and patterned treatment technique obviate the need for high peak power pulsed systems, while providing sufficient energy density at the target site to effect hair removal and other skin treatment modalities. The moving light beam has a computer controlled dwell time to generate a relatively high amount of energy in a short period of time at the target. The optimum dwell time is about 0.5 ms to 500 ms, and the wavelength is in the range of 600 nm to 990 nm. The spot size is in the range of 0.01 to 10.0 mm and the treatment area is in the range of 0.01 to 100 cm.sup.2. The CCPG patterns enable the moving focal spot of light to irradiate all of the treatment area uniformly with minimum overlap. The patterns may comprise regular geometric forms, or may comprise non-uniform random patterns. In either case, focal spot movement is controlled to avoid excessive irradiation of any point within the treatment area, and avoid localized temperature buildup that can occur when the spot is retraced too often through the same locality.

A spherical reamer comprises at least two cutting elements having a support member and at least one circumference cutting member built on it. The cutting member can be characterized by edge configuration, geometric parameters or further by positional parameters, respectively. All variations of the parameters above lead various types of the cutting elements and methods of assembling either reusable or disposable reamer including self-assembling or/and “One Size Cutting Element for Assembling Several Size of Reamers” in order to fit into the application need in the field.
摘要:
There is provided a nanopore disposed in a support structure, with a fluidic connection between a first fluidic reservoir and an inlet to the nanopore and a second fluidic connection between a second fluidic reservoir and an outlet from the nanopore. A first ionic solution of a first buffer concentration is disposed in the first reservoir and a second ionic solution of a second buffer concentration, different than the first concentration, is disposed in the second reservoir, with the nanopore providing the sole path of fluidic communication between the first and second reservoirs. An electrical connection is disposed at a location in the nanopore sensor that develops an electrical signal indicative of electrical potential local to at least one site in the nanopore sensor as an object translocates through the nanopore between the two reservoirs.
