A hybrid transmissive star coupler incorporating fiber amplifiers for WDM/FDM networks is proposed. It is found that the total fiber length and conduit length required for this hybrid star coupler/network can be reduced tremendously as comparing with either the centralized or the distributed cases. Furthermore, this coupler is easier to construct and more cost-effective.

Due to the stimulating success in developing optical amplifiers, intersymbol interference (ISI) will become the dominant limit on both bit rate and transmission distance in long-haul optical fiber communication systems. Here we present a receiver with ''Soft Decision ISI Cancellation'' (SDIC) to deal with ISI in high-speed lightwave systems. The analytical and simulation results show that the transmission distance can be doubled with SDIC. In addition, the receiver with SDIC allows the ISI cancellation circuit operating with processing and propagation delay much longer than 1-b period. Therefore, it is very promising in very high bit rate optical systems.

The 830 nm and 1.16 mum emissions in sodium vapor which is pumped near 3S-4D two-photon resonance have been observed. It has been found that these two emissions are induced by the spontaneous emission of the dye R590, that provides the emissions near 584 nm, which as idle photons are coupled to the 830 nm and 1.16 mum emissions in the axially phase-matched six-wave mixing processes. This conclusion is based on the fact that the observed 830 nm and 1.16 mum emissions will almost disappear if the spontaneous emission of the dye R590 in the 584 nm wavelength range is blocked. As a result, the fluctuation and band-like structure in the emission spectra of the 830 nm and 1.16 mum lines can be understood to be due to the broad band and fluctuating in the spontaneous emission of the dye R590, and also due to the amplification in these generation processes that makes many unstable peaks in their spectra.

The synthesis and characterization of nine side-chain liquid crystalline copolysiloxanes containing trans-5-(n-undecanyl)-2-(4-cyanophenyl)-1,3-dioxane and 4-(alkanyloxyphenylazo)benzonitrile side groups are presented. The azobenzene dye contents in the copolymers range from about 5 to 20 wt.-%. The nature of the mesophase exhibited by the copolysiloxanes depends very much on the dye concentration. Three copolysiloxanes which contain about 5 wt.-% azobenzene dye, display a smectic A phase while the other six copolysiloxanes which contain more then 10 wt.-% azobenzene dye, exhibit a nematic phase. All the obtained copolysiloxanes show a very low glass transition temperature and a very wide temperature range of mesophase.

The quasi-planar realizations of combline bandpass filter and diplexer using multiple coupled suspended substrate striplines (MCSSS's) have demonstrated good performance at K-band without any tuning. The N MCSSS's excite N zero-cutoff-frequency quasi-TEM modes. A new computer-aided filter design approach employing rigorous SDA (spectral-domain-approach) and 2N-port microwave circuit theory accounts for the effects of the N quasi-TEM modes, the couplings through non-adjacent MCSSS's, and cover height. Two 19.5-to-20.5 GHz MCSSS's combline filters with different cover heights are built and tested to compare their filter characteristics. The reduction in cover height decreases the amount of non-adjacent couplings through MCSSS's and results in better filter stopband performance. Another 18.5-to-19 GHz and 20-to-20.5 GHz MCSSS's diplexer is also presented. All the measured results for the combline filters and diplexer agree well with the theoretic calculations.

The anomalies of moment of inertia in 170-180Os are analysed in the interacting-boson-plus-fermion-pair model. The angular momentum-angular momentum interaction term (L.L) in the boson Hamiltonian is renormalized by a (1 + fL.L)- 1 factor. It was found that the renormalization facilitates the interaction parameter searching and all boson-boson and boson-fermion interaction parameters for the isotope chain can be unified. Energy levels can be reproduced quite well. The general features in the moment of inertia anomalies can be reproduced. The transition quadrupole moments are calculated and compared with other estimates.

In a graph G = (V, E), E[v] denotes the set of edges in the subgraph induced by N[v] = {v} or {u is-an-element-of V: uv is-an-element-of E}. The neighborhood-covering problem is to find the minimum cardinality of a set C of vertices such that E = or {E[v]: v is-an-element-of C}. The neighborhood-independence problem is to find the maximum cardinality of a set of edges in which there are no two distinct edges belonging to the same E[v] for any v is-an-element-of V. Two other related problems are the clique-transversal problem and the clique-independence problem. It is shown that these four problems are NP-complete in split graphs with degree constraints and linear time algorithms for them are given in a strongly chordal graph when a strong elimination order is given.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid neural network model for solving optimization problems. We first derive an energy function, which contains the constraints and cost criteria of an optimization problem, and we then use the proposed neural network to find the global minimum (or maximum) of the energy function, which corresponds to a solution of the optimization problem. The proposed neural network contains two subnets: a Constraint network and a Goal network. The Constraint network models the constraints of an optimization problem and computes the gradient (updating) value of each neuron such that the energy function monotonically converges to satisfy all constraints of the problem. The Goal network points out the direction of convergence for finding an optimal value for the cost criteria. These two subnets ensure that our neural network finds feasible as well as optimal (or near-optimal) solutions. We use two well-known optimization problems-the Traveling Salesman Problem and the Hamiltonian Cycle Problem-to demonstrate our method. Our hybrid neural network successfully finds 100 % of the feasible and near-optimal solutions for the Traveling Salesman Problem and also successfully discovers solutions to the Hamiltonian Cycle Problem with connection rates of 40% and 50%.

An efficient simulator of multiple sets of multiple faults, with electrical timing information for an MOS IC. is presented. The physical faults in a real circuit are modelled more realistically by the node-short, line-open and threshold voltage degradation faults at the transistor level. On using event-driven, selective trace and mixed incremental-in-space. signal and time simulation techniques. the simulation results show that it is superior to other approaches in speed, extra memory used, and precision. Moreover, this simulator is suitable for parallel simulation in a multiprocessor system.

For a given rocker-roller cam system, the mathematical expression of the cam profile was first derived from the desired displacement function utilizing theory of gearing and differential geometry. Furthermore, the variance in the cam profile due to cutting tolerance was modelled using the Monte-Carlo method as set of normally-distributed random numbers. Based on these models, the deviation from the desired motion resulting from manufacturing imprecision can be calculated by reversing the procedure. An optimization scheme was then employed to identify the optimal configuration which minimizes the motion deviation. It is found that the kinematic error of the mechanism can be minimized if the pressure angle of the mechanism remains small. Also the usefulness of the methodology developed for designing a rocker-roller cam mechanism taking the fabricating error of the cam profiles into consideration is demonstrated.

Various SVD-based methods have been shown effective for resolving closely spaced frequencies. However, the massive computations required by SVD makes it unsuitable for real-time applications. To reduce the computational complexity, three truncated QR methods are proposed: 1) truncated QR without column pivoting (TQR); 2) truncated QR with reordered columns (TQRR); and 3) truncated QR with column pivoting (TQRP). It is demonstrated that many of the benefits of the SVD-based methods are achievable under the truncated QR methods with much lower computational cost. Based on the forward-backward linear prediction model, computer simulations and comparisons are provided for different truncation methods under various SNR's. Comparisons of asymptotic performance with large data samples are also given.

Extended from the Diffie-Hellman public key distribution system (PKDS), we propose a conference key distribution system (CKDS) based on the cross-product operations on row vectors over a Galois field GF(P), where P is a prime number. In our CKDS, the chairperson computes a conference key CK and then embeds it to some public interpolating polynomials to let only the legal intended principals recover CK, while the illegal intended principals can not. From the public parameters, an intruder or any intended principal in the network does not know how many and who are the legal intended principals in the conference. Furthermore, since the construction of the CK does not interfere with the secret keys of the intended principals, any intended principals in the network has no useful information for revealing any other principals' secret keys. Besides, our CKDS can be implemented practically.

Diversified in their background knowledge, electrical engineering students cover a wide spectrum of strengths and weaknesses when they first attempt to study the subject of operating systems. Commonly, students are initially more concerned with the hardware design of digital systems and, therefore, less appreciative of the principles of software systems. In light of this, this paper presents and examines a practical syllabus for a course on operating systems. It also discusses possible derivations from this syllabus so as to provide versatility in implementation.
EFFECT OF POLARIZATION MODE DISPERSION ON A COHERENT OPTICAL-SYSTEM WITH PILOT CARRIER

The effect of fiber polarization mode dispersion (PMD) on a coherent optical system with pilot carrier is twofold. First, the PMD causes state of polarization (SOP) mismatch between the message signal and pilot carrier. Second, the degrees of polarization (DOP) of the message signal and pilot carrier are degraded by PMD. Because coherent reception relies both on the SOP's and DOP's of the waves, system performance is degraded by PMD. The effect of SOP mismatch causes intermediate frequency (IF) signal amplitude degradation whereas DOP variation not only results in IF signal amplitude degradation but further induces IF noises. Here we derive analytical expressions to evaluate the performance degradation. It is shown that there is no performance degradation if only one principle state of polarization is excited and maximum degradation occurs when both principle states of polarization are equally excited. We also find that significant degradation may happen when large differential group delay exists.

A four-channel optical FDM-NCFSK bidirectional transmission experiment using an Er3+-doped fiber amplifier at 1.7 Gb/s for 100 km fiber length is demonstrated. Using commercial DFB LDs, a received power of -35 dBm at 10(-9) BER is obtained, and the dispersion degradation over 100 km bidirectional transmission is negligible. With channel spacing of about 30 GHz, the differential power penalty is about 0.1 dB.

Sand and gravel mining from a river bed results in irregular pits on the river bed. The migration of the pits might potentially threaten the safety of downstream bridge piers and other in-stream hydraulic structures. Models were developed to simulate the movement of pits for predicting the effect of migrating pits on in-stream structures. In view of random characteristics inherently residing in hydraulic and hydrologic processes, it is essential for an engineer to assess the overall uncertainty features of a hydraulic model output subjected to its stochastic input parameters. As an illustration, this paper analyzes the uncertainties of a pit migration model recently proposed by Lee et al. (1990) using three methods including the first-order variance estimation method, point estimation technique, and Latin hypercubic sampling. Comparisons of merits and limitations of these methods are also made.
