摘要： In order to enhance collaborations, the system responds to a trigger event to determine the nature of any collaboration which should be assembled in response to the trigger, and determines the requirements needed to respond to the event. These requirements set out the type of resources (personnel, equipment, information systems, etc) that are needed. The system then identifies a subset of specific resources based on a criteria, and invites the specified resources to collaborate to respond to the event. The criteria can include the availability of the specific resource. According to an embodiment, the system evaluates responses from the invited resources and then convenes the collaboration, for example by establishing one or more communication sessions. According to an embodiment, the system evaluates responses from the invited resources to ensure that the requirements are satisfied, and if not, determines other resources to invite.

摘要： A communications network for a metropolitan area is disclosed. The network is comprised of three basic types of nodes: an access multiplexer, a photonic switch, and a core node. The access multiplexer provides multiplexing of data packets from end-users onto at least one sparse wavelength division multiplexed (SWDM) wavelength. The SWDM wavelengths are carried over fiber cable to the photonic switches, which consolidate these wavelengths into dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) wavelengths for transmission to the core node. The core nodes include a photonic switch (PSX) and a service-aware terabit router core for routing packets within the metropolitan area via the network or out to a long haul network. The photonic switches and core nodes are capable of switching at the wavelength, group of wavelength, and fiber levels.

摘要： The photonic network of the present invention uses a cost-effective DWDM optimized switch architecture allowing the introduction of DWDM into the metro network. In this invention the optical carriers are all generated in the photonic layer at the edge photonic switching node and are allocated out to the photonic access nodes or central core data switch for modulation. This has the advantage of providing the optical carriers to be modulated from a centralized highly stable and precise source, thereby meeting the requirements for DWDM carrier precision, whilst generating these carriers in relatively close proximity to the modulators. Sparse WDM components can be used in the access portion of the network without adversely affecting the ability of the signal to transit the DWDM portion of the core network, since the optical carrier frequency is fixed at the centralized source and is unaffected by these components.

摘要： A protection arrangement for an optical switching system includes protection switching for switch planes in the optical core and for ports in the tributary cards. For a multiple layer switch core protection is also provided between layers. A first layer is for switching optical channels. The protection switches used may be 1×N, 2×N or 3×N MEMS optical switches. The 1×N MEMS provides for protection switching. The 2×N MEMS provides protection switching and testing capability. The 3×N MEMS provides for protection switching, testing and backup of the protection switching. Application of these protection switches is shown in lambda plane switch cores, multiple layer switch cores and combined switch cores.

摘要： An optical switch is equipped with a set of optical intensity controllers at its input, each intensity controller being driven to vary a corresponding WDM input traffic signal with a low power test signal. The switch is also equipped with optical splitters at its output and a path integrity analyzer connected to the splitters and to the intensity controllers. The path integrity analyzer generates or controls generation of the test signals applied by the intensity controllers. The path integrity analyzer also receives the tapped portions of the WDM output signals and separates them into their single-carrier components in order to recover a set of switched single-carrier optical signals. The path integrity analyzer is further provided with test signal detectors used to detect the presence of a test signal in each recovered switched single-carrier optical signal. The path integrity analyzer thus ascertains the integrity of the connection involving each switched single-carrier optical signal by comparing detected test signals to expected test signals that are derived from a connection map.

摘要： A method of communicating in a healthcare establishment. The method comprises receiving data indicative of a desire to communicate with a target clinician; receiving data regarding a wirelessly detectable tag associated with the target clinician; determining a location of the target clinician within the healthcare establishment based at least in part on the data regarding the wirelessly detectable tag; applying an unavailability policy to obtain an outcome indicating whether the target clinician is available for communication, the unavailability policy being a function of the location of the target clinician; and responsive to the outcome indicating that the target clinician is available for communication, performing an action to cause communication with the target clinician. In this way, time and effort will not be spent attempting to communicate with clinicians that are not considered to be available, even though they may be registered for duty.

摘要： A chromatic dispersion discriminator for determining the amount of chromatic dispersion in optical signals used by optical transmission systems is described. The discriminator provides a means of detecting the polarity and magnitude of dispersion in optical signals received over a dispersive optical link, thereby allowing the correct amount of dispersion compensation to be applied to each optical signal. The dispersion discriminator includes: a splitter for dividing the optical signal into at least first and second portions; a first dispersion leg for causing a first additional amount of dispersion in the first portion; a second dispersion leg for causing a second additional amount of dispersion in the second portion that is opposite in polarity and substantially equal in magnitude to the first additional amount such that the amount of dispersion in the second portion is detectably different from the amount of dispersion in the first portion; and a dispersion detector for receiving the first and second portions from the respective dispersion legs, determining the amount of dispersion in the optical signal by detecting a difference between the amount of dispersion in the first and second portions, and providing an indication of said amount of dispersion in the optical signal.

摘要： A double-star communications system comprises a digital terminal, active pedestals coupled to the digital terminal via optical fibers, and subscribers' premises coupled to each active pedestal via existing telephone lines and via additional communications paths, which may comprise optical fibers or coaxial calbes. The digital terminal multiplexes broadband signal components, such as video channels, selected in response to subscriber control signals, with a multiplexed telephony signal and transmits these optically to an active pedestal, and receives the control signals, a multiplexed telephony signal, and optional upstream broadband signal components from the active pedestal. The active pedestal transmits and receives the signals on the first communications path, and demultiplexes the received multiplexed telephony signal and the broadband signal components. The received and tranmitted telephony signals are coupled to and from the telephone lines for providing telephone communications, and the selected broadband signal components are coupled to the additional communications paths. The active pedestal forwards to the digital terminal the control signals received from the subscriber via the additional communications paths, optionally multiplexed with an upstream broadband signal component.

摘要： A signal distribution system is disclosed for distributing television program signals from a central location to a plurality of subscriber locations via respective optical fibers. At the central location, 4 of 64 signals are selected and multiplexed for delivery to each subscriber location. At each subscriber location, an interface unit selects any 2 of the 4 signals for delivery to each of a plurality of video port controllers, for supply to an associated television receiver and video cassette recorder. Requests for program signals initiated by a subscriber at a video port controller are handled by the interface unit, being granted, denied, or fowarded to the central location as appropriate. The system facilitates the provision of pay-per-channel and pay-per-view television program signals.
