An electrical connector is provided for operation in a point-to-point application. The connector includes an insulated housing having first and second card interfaces configured to mate with associated first and second circuit cards. An electrical wafer is held in the housing and configured to operate in a point-to-point architecture. The signal traces end at signal contact pads located proximate to first and second edges, respectively. The signal contact pads receive a unidirectional signal. Each of the signal traces include a break section at an intermediate point along a length thereof to form a disconnect in the signal traces. The connector further includes an active compensation component bridging the break section in the signal traces. The active compensation component compensates the differential signal incoming from the input contact pads for signal degradation and transmits a compensated signal outward to the output contact pads. The active compensation component transmits the signal only in a single direction within the point-to-point architecture.

A method for processing received radio signals that are subject to unwanted change during propagation through the atmosphere, from a transmitter to a receiver array. The multiple signals are received as cochannel signals at the antenna array, and are processed to eliminate the effects of modification of the signals during propagation, wherein the processing step includes cumulant-based signal recovery without regard for the geometrical properties of the antenna array. In the invention as disclosed, two different information signals having two different polarization states are transmitted, and at least one of the transmitted signals is subjected to an unwanted change of its polarization state. The received signals are processed to separate and recover the two information signals without regard to their polarization states.

Network selection methods and apparatus with home network prioritization after network signal recovery and/or power-on are disclosed. In one illustrative example involving automatic network selection, a mobile station (200) selects and operates with a non-home communication network (406). The mobile station (200) then experiences an out-of-coverage condition (or a power down condition) but subsequently regains signal coverage (or is powered back on). In response, the mobile station (200) scans to identify a plurality of communication networks in its coverage area. If a home network (402) is identified as being available, the mobile station (200) selects and operates with the home network (402). Otherwise, if the previous non-home network (406) (e.g. the RPLMN) is identified as being available, the mobile station (200) continues operation with the previous non-home network (406).

Systems and methods for protecting privacy in transmitting an analog information signal. The present invention combines the information signal with an analog random signal generated by a chaotic circuit and transmits the signal. The received signal is synchronized using a receiving chaotic circuit. The received signal is demodulated using a synchronized replica of the analog random signal. The information signal is recovered since the product of the random signals generated in the transmitter and in the receiver, is unity. Techniques used in the present invention for generating chaos, synchronization, and signal recovery are also disclosed.

Apparatus and methods for fluorescence imaging using radiofrequency multiplexed excitation. One apparatus splits an excitation laser beam into two arms of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The light in the first beam is frequency shifted by an acousto-optic deflector, which is driven by a phase-engineered radiofrequency comb designed to minimize peak-to-average power ratio. This RF comb generates multiple deflected optical beams possessing a range of output angles and frequency shifts. The second beam is shifted in frequency using an acousto-optic frequency shifter. After combining at a second beam splitter, the two beams are focused to a line on the sample using a conventional laser scanning microscope lens system. The acousto-optic deflectors frequency-encode the simultaneous excitation of an entire row of pixels, which enables detection and de-multiplexing of fluorescence images using a single photomultiplier tube and digital phase-coherent signal recovery techniques.

Multiple data streams are distributed using conventional data cables and multiplexing circuits by taking advantage of a technique that allows reliable high speed transmission of digital data. In one example, a number of parallel data streams (e.g., video data streams) are serialized to allow them to be economically and reliably transmitted over conventional data cables (e.g., category 5 or category 6 twisted pair cables, and automotive data transmission cables) over long distance. The parallel data streams are recovered by deserializing from the transmitted signal using a data recovery technique that recovers a clocking signal from the transmitted signal. In another example, multiple data streams from multiple asynchronous sources are multiplexed to provide an input data stream to a display device. The multiple data stream may be provided through, for example, conventional connection cables (e.g., DVI, LEONI, CATS or CAT6 cables).

The invention relates to a compressive-sensing-based sparse signal under-sampling method and an implementation device, which are used for lowering a sampling rate of frequency-domain sparse signals on the premise of guaranteeing the restoration effect of the signals. The method comprises the following steps of: generating a trigger signal and an m sequence by an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), carrying out frequency mixing on the m sequence and the measured sparse signal after the m sequence is modulated, and carrying out filtering by a low pass filter; sampling the filtered signal and storing sampled data by a data sampling module after the data sampling module detects the triggering signal; and calculating a transfer function of a system and the m sequence corresponding to the sampled data when the signal is reconstructed, and then restoring the original signal by an OMP (Orthogonal Matching Pursuit) signal reconstructing algorithm. The compressive-sensing-based sparse signal under-sampling method and the implement device are suitable for the under-sampling of frequency-domain sparse analogue signals.

The design scheme passes simulation verification, it is confirmed that the good signal recovery effect can be obtained, and the error range of recovered signals can be evaluated. The method is suitable for wireless signal transmission occasions in the information and communication technology.

Real-world data may not be sparse in a fixed basis, and current high-performance recovery algorithms are slow to converge, which limits compressive sensing (CS) to either non-real-time applications or scenarios where massive back-end computing is available. Presented herein are embodiments for improving CS by developing a new signal recovery framework that uses a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to learn the inverse transformation from measurement signals. When trained on a set of representative images, the network learns both a representation for the signals and an inverse map approximating a greedy or convex recovery algorithm. Implementations on real data indicate that some embodiments closely approximate the solution produced by state-of-the-art CS recovery algorithms, yet are hundreds of times faster in run time.

The method of performing structure-based Bayesian sparse signal reconstruction is a Bayesian approach to sparse signal recovery that has relatively low complexity and makes a collective use of: a priori statistical properties of the signal and noise; sparsity information; and the rich structure of the sensing matrix Ψ. The method is used with both Gaussian and non-Gaussian (or unknown) priors, and performance measures of the ultimate estimate outputs are easily calculated.

A dual-stage actuator disk drive uses a secondary-actuator failure-detection and calibration test run by the servo control processor and a relative-position sensor for measuring the position of the secondary actuator relative to its neutral position in response to the calibration test. The secondary-actuator failure detection and calibration test can be performed on a regular schedule or at selected times, such as at disk drive start-up. With the primary actuator biased at a test location, such as a crash stop or a load/unload ramp, the servo control processor generates a test signal to the secondary actuator and receives a relative-position signal (RPS) from the relative-position sensor in response to the test signal. The test comprises two measurements: a measurement of the secondary actuator static characteristics, and a measurement of the secondary actuator dynamic characteristics.
