The internetwork includes a modularized communications system, wherein users are connected to specific modules, and each of the modules operates preferably at less than 50% capacity. In more preferred embodiments, each module includes dual (b)routers for connecting to a core tier and separate dual (b)routers for connecting to the users.

A lighting system, a reflector, light sources and a light control member are sequentially disposed from a light incident side to a light outgoing side. Preferably used for large displays requiring high uniformity, this invention eliminates lamp image and removes the necessity to do light source repositioning, while enabling luminance in the exit plane to achieve excellent luminosity and uniformity. This invention achieves total transmittance of more than 50% when light is incident on the normal direction of the incident plane at a predetermined angle α and achieves 1.05-3 times more total transmittance than when the light is normally incident. This is achieved by using a light control member such as the light diffusion plate described herein, which is conformed to obtain required luminosity and uniformity by controlling the ratio between total transmittance in the positions of greater transmittance and the total transmittance in the positions of lesser transmittance.

The present invention discloses a visual tracking-based error observation feedforward control method. Into order to solve the problem of insufficient error suppression bandwidth of current fast steering mirror feedforward, the invention provides a method for increasing the error suppression bandwidth of a system so that the system can be adaptive to the tracking of highly-maneuvering targets. According to the core idea of the invention, the acquisition path of an estimated position and a feedforward node are changed; visual error provided by a CCD and the direct output of a position controller are fused, so that an observation position can be obtained; the position quantity is made to pass through a feedforward controller; the position amount can be directly fed forward into a driving output quantity; and therefore, tracking error can be further suppressed. Since external input data come from a CCD sensor, the method of the present invention is not affected by the delay and noises of other external sensors; the method adopts the visual error as input; and therefore, the method is not only effective for target tracking, but also effective for the disturbance suppression of a CCD-based fast steering mirror, and the use range of the method is wide.
