The desirable effects of an optical phase conjugator are accompanied by a frequency shift with reversal of the frequency order of channels in a multichannel optical communication system. Such effects are rectifiable by employing a sequence involving demultiplexing the multichannel signal, operating on the individual, demultiplexed channel with a corresponding optical phase conjugator or frequency shifter followed by multiplexing the signal. This sequence is combined with a complementary operation—optical phase conjugator to complement a frequency shifting sequence or frequency shifting to complement an optical phase conjugating sequence.
1. A multichannel optical communications system including an apparatus that acts on an incoming multichannel signal to produce a phase conjugation of at least one of said channels of said incoming multichannel signal, said apparatus comprising:
a demultiplexer/multiplexer sequence for said multichannel signal, said demultiplexer/multiplexer sequence including an optical phase conjugator or a frequency shifter; and
a device complementary to said demultiplexer/multiplexer sequence; and
wherein said demultiplexer/multiplexer sequence and said complementary device are configured to operate on said multichannel signal and wherein at least a portion of said complementary device operates on said multichannel signal before or after said demultiplexer/multiplexer sequence operates on said multichannel signal,
wherein said complementary device is an optical phase conjugator if said demultiplexer/multiplexer sequence includes the frequency shifter and is said frequency shifter if said demultiplexer/ multiplexer sequence includes said optical phase conjugator; and

This invention relates to multichannel optical communication and in particular to multichannel optical communication involving optical phase conjugators (OPCs).
In multichannel optical communication a multiplicity of channels (often up to 256 channels) carrying information is employed. Each channel carries information imposed on a modulated carrier optical signal within a relatively narrow range of wavelengths—typically a wavelength range between 0.1 Å and 25 Å. Thus as shown in
Newly proposed systems such as discussed in Brener, I. et.al. (2000) "Cancellation of all Kerr Nonlinearities in Long Fiber Spans Using a LiNbO3 Phase Conjugator and Raman Amplification," Optical Fiber Communications Conference, Post deadline Paper PD 33-1, have contemplated the use of OPCs in addition to other devices such as distributed Raman amplifiers. An OPC has the effect of inducing a conjugation of the phase of a signal and has been contemplated for use to reduce the problems associated with nonlinear effects in optical fibers. As more devices are added to optical communication systems the combined effect on a signal especially in a multichannel environment becomes complex.
It has been appreciated that after propagation through an OPC the resulting signal in a multichannel system corresponding to channels 31, 32, 33 is conjugated and has been changed in frequency to 31′, 32′, 33′, respectively as shown in
By a specific set of optical operations it is possible to correct channel order reversal and frequency shift without compromising the desired modification in phase produced by an OPC. This set of three operations includes the demultiplexing of the multichannel optical signal, the use of an OPC or a frequency shifter for at least one of the demultiplexed channels, and the multiplexing of at least one of the channels treated with the OPC or with the frequency shifter with at least one other channel—whether or not this second channel has undergone an OPC or a frequency shifter. Thus, in the context of this invention, one of two possible demultiplexing/multiplexing (DM) sequences is used, i.e. a demultiplexer then an OPC for each channel to be conjugated then a multiplexer is used in a combination denominated a conjugator DM sequence or similarly a demultiplexer then a frequency shifter for individual channels and then a multiplexer is used in a combination denominated a frequency shifter DM. This set of three generic operations (in the context of this invention denominated a DM sequence to encompass both conjugator DMs and frequency shifter DMs) is used together with a complementary operation i.e. an OPC if a frequency shifter is used in the DM sequence or frequency shifter if an OPC is used in the DM sequence. For example, the use of two OPCs on the multiplexed signal operates as a frequency shifter i.e. does not change the phase or channel order of the multiplexed multichannel signal that propagates through it but shifts the channel frequencies. Such frequency shifter is a complementary device to a conjugator DM sequence. The conjugator DM conjugates the phase of OPC treated channels, leaves the order of the OPC treated channels but shifts the frequency of the treated signals. As a complement a frequency shifter does not conjugate the phase of the channels but shifts the frequency to correct for the frequency shift induced by the conjugator DM sequence. It is possible to employ a frequency shifter sequence (or single operation) before the conjugator DM sequence, after the conjugator DM sequence, or perform part of the frequency shifter sequence before the conjugator DM sequence and the remainder after the conjugator DM sequence.
Analogously, a frequency shifter DM shifts the frequency and order of the channels while the complementary OPC conjugates the phase of the channels and restores the channel order. The same effect is attainable whether the OPC is used before or after the frequency shifter DM. It is also possible to use individual OPCs or frequency shifters in the DM sequence on bands of channels rather than on single channels. In this manner the reversal of bands of channels, not individual channels, is accomplished. Thus in the context of this invention, the term channel includes a band that is less than all the channels of the signal.
As discussed the invention involves the use of a DM sequence in conjunction with a complementary operation. Although the invention is generic to this concept, for pedagogic reasons the invention is described with respect to five advantageous embodiments. However the invention is not limited merely to such embodiments. With respect to each embodiment, useful device combinations to implement each embodiment are shown in
In the first embodiment the frequency shifter includes two OPCs and the multichannel signal is first subjected in sequence to both these OPCs to accomplish the frequency shift. (For purposes of illustration the description will be in terms of three channels having three different center wavelengths. However the invention irrespective of particular embodiment is not limited to any specific number of channels and three is chosen solely to simplify the description. Similarly two OPC operations are used to exemplify a frequency shifter. It is however possible to accomplish such a frequency shift either in one operation or in a sequence of operations. Nevertheless the frequency shifter used whether it is a single device used to perform a single operation or a sequence of operations performed with a multitude of devices is equally applicable to the invention.)
Thus in the context of three channels, 31, 32, and 33, in
The multiplexed channels 31″, 32″, and 33″ are then demultiplexed. It is possible for the amount of frequency shift, however, to vary with the channel. All or some of these channels are then subjected to an individual OPC tailored for such channel. That is, the OPC for each such demultiplexed channel has a different pump wavelength so that the channel(s) undergoing this phase conjugation is shifted, for example, essentially back to its original frequency. (Again for ease of description the discussion will be in terms of all three demultiplexed channels being shifted although this is not required in every embodiment of the invention i.e. compensating shifts for only a portion of all the channels is possible.)
Thus as shown in
The overall effect of the conjugator DM sequence is to conjugate the phase of the channels subjected to their individual OPCs and to individually shift the frequency of each treated channels without dependence on another channel. (Although in a preferred embodiment the channels are shifted back to their original frequencies, it is possible, and within the inventive context of all embodiments to shift the channels to a frequency that is other than the original channel frequencies while maintaining the original order of the channels and conjugating their phase.) The beneficial results of the combination of conjugator DM sequence with the complementary device, a frequency shifter, is to conjugate the phase of chosen channels while maintaining the order of desired channels and while adjusting channel frequency without being limited to the effect dictated such as shown in
In a second embodiment, a conjugator DM sequence is performed before the complementary frequency shifter. Thus as shown in
In a third embodiment a portion of a frequency shifting sequence is first performed, then the conjugator DM sequence is performed, and finally the remainder of the frequency shift sequence is performed. As shown in
In a fourth embodiment, channels 101, 102, and 103 in
In a fifth embodiment, channels 111, 112, and 113 in
As previously discussed, the five embodiments are described in detail for pedagogic purposes. Not all channels need be subjected to the DM sequence; the frequency shifter need not necessarily be two OPCs and; the number of channels need not be three. Additionally the specific frequency of the pump is not critical provided the frequency of the pumps used in the frequency shifter sequence relative to the frequency used in the DM sequence is such that the combined frequency shift is the one desired. It is also preferable that the pump frequency of an OPC is not within 250 gigabits of a channel that it is processing. The invention described is useful in conjunction with the approach to reducing the penalty associated with nonlinear effects described in concurrently filed U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/442,287 dated May 20, 2003 (Chowdhury 5-8, filed by Aref Chowdhury, et.al.) which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

My name is Shiraz and I moved to this area three years back. I work as Manager at a local software firm and it is the best job in the world, flexible enough to suit my carefree nature and lots of vacations to allow me to travel to interesting places. I am highly interested in my area of work and have lots of interesting ideas, which I would like to materialize one day and start my own company. Right now, I am enjoying my stay in Seattle. It is a very interesting place with all the fun loving and educated people in this area and plenty of options for outdoor activities. Other than my career, I have few material desires. Owning a big lovely house on lake is one of them. Other than dreaming about my future company and beautiful house, I do try to live in the moment and enjoy little pleasures of life. I enjoy indoor activities like relaxing at home, playing video games, reading a good book or watching a good show or movie as much as I enjoy outdoors, the awesome view from top of a trail, an entertaining evening out with friends, or a crazy party somewhere. I love people and try to spend time with friends whenever I get free time. I must mention that I love spontaneity and am bad at plannings. If I feel like doing something right now, there is no reason to think twice. Music is an integral part of my life and cruising at top speed in my roadster, with nice numbers on play is one of the best experiences. I particularly like oldies like U2, Queen, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash and new ones like Adele, Maroon 5, One Republic, Bruno Mars and I love some amazing numbers from Indian songs. My movies taste varies and typically I like any well made movie. I particularly enjoy Neo-noir cinema ( China Town, Bicycle Thief, Once upon a time in america ), Animation ( Toy Story, Kung Fu Panda ), Suspense ( Usual suspects ) and Comedy ( Hangover, Worlds End ). I hope to meet an interesting girl who can bring more freshness and positivism to my life. I am a highly talkative person and would like one who enjoys conversation, particularly random ones. If you have an open mind and easy going lady, we will do fine.

Have you noticed mysterious raised tunnels appearing in your lawn or garden seemingly overnight? If so, there may be a mole infestation. Controlling moles isn't easy and can require a good deal of patience. Moles are small mammals with pointed snouts and oversized forefeet used for digging. The most common mole species in our area is the eastern mole. They are about the size of a chipmunk as adults. They are solitary animals that rarely leave the safety of their tunnels. Moles are most active in the early mornings, especially after a rain shower.
Bald eagle nests are being spotted across the state and Department of Natural Resources officials say there are now more than 200 sites that show eagles nesting in Georgia. That number has continued to rise over the past few years.
The bald eagle is captivating to watch. Millions of viewers are taking to the Internet to watch a pair of eaglets in a nest at Berry College in the northwest Georgia town of Rome.
The nest is one of several across the country that have infrared cameras placed around them to capture the majestic bird's every move.
Our oldest son recently finalized his plans for starting college next year. He got accepted to Georgia Tech and we could not be more proud and excited.
A few weeks ago, Ethan, my son, got a book all about the tradition of Tech, filled with the history of mascots and game practices and how things go on campus. The T Book is a manual and love letter all in one.
"Mom," Ethan said after reading a few pages, "they really don't like the University of Georgia."
An Evans woman was recently sentenced in Columbia County Magistrate Court for failing to care for animals in the rescue she ran.
Kristi Leahey, owner of Lucky Dog rescue, pled no contest to 14 counts of failure to care for and maintain animals in Magistrate Court on Wednesday. Columbia County Animal Services dismissed the additional eight counts.
You might not know it, but the rankings for World's Worst Dog were recently updated, so I thought I should share that with you.
Coming in at third place, actually dropping two spots from his usual lock on first is Landon. (No, I did not name this dog, so don't ask.)
Landon is a Mountain Feist (look it up) with a deep distrust of strangers and a gimpy hip, which translates into about four pounds of bad disposition. His hobbies are growling, tearing around the house while yipping incessantly, barking at reflections on the ceiling and barking.
"Can we?" he asked.
"Hmmmm," was my reply.
I've long had a love/hate relationship with cats. Mostly, I'm suspicious. Cats strike me as terribly judgmental and rude. They keep to themselves and you never quite know what they're up to. They can be off-putting and, well, snobs.
To boot, I grew up next door to a family that for a short season had too many cats. You don't get over that quick. There's just something about cats – plural – that can be, well, creepy.

The Augusta Christian Lady Lions finished out a grueling early-season schedule on a high note, beating Fox Creek 52-32 Tuesday night.
"We've played six games in eight days, it's been a long stretch for us," said Lady Lions coach Wayne Marchant, whose team won't play again until after Christmas.
"Of those six games, five have been on the road. We've had a tough stretch. We knew it was going to be a tough stretch for us, especially with a really young team, but I think we've handled it very well."
After throwing down a tomahawk dunk on a steal in the second period, Augusta Christian's Madison Williams finished off the game in much the same fashion.
Taking off from just inside the free throw line, the Lions' junior jammed another home with 2½ minutes left as the Lions beat Fox Creek 66-50 Tuesday night.

Typically it wouldn't be a big deal for a big-time NFL prospect to be down in Mobile, Al., around this time. But players participating in the week of the Senior Bowl are typically just that, seniors. LSU junior Tyrann Mathieu is hanging around Mobile not to participate in team practices or Saturday's game, but to rub elbows with some possible future employers, according to Zac Jackson of Fox Sports Ohio. Typically juniors have to wait for the NFL Scouting Combine in February to make an impression with NFL teams, but Mathieu's agent, Patrick Lawlor, encouraged him to get an early start. The player known as the "Honey Badger" was dismissed from Louisiana State for reportedly failing multiple drug tests. He entered drug rehab rather than transferring from LSU, and then re-enrolled at school merely as a student. Mathieu got in trouble with the law in October for possession of marijuana. Mathieu played with the Tigers during his true freshman and sophomore seasons in 2010 and 2011. The cornerback/special teamer was known as a playmaker during his time in college. He recorded four interceptions, two defensive touchdowns, two touchdowns on punt returns, 11 forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries in his two seasons in Baton Route, La.

book review: Creative Flash Photography, by Tilo Gockel
Tilo Gockel (website: FotoPraxis), is a German photographer who some might remember from guest articles that has appeared on Tangents. His article on innovative product photography on a budget – Diver's Chronograph, was particularly impressive when you compare the results with the home setup. You might also know Tilo from various impressive posts in the Strobist group on Facebook. Prolific and innovative.
The subtitle of this book is the best description of what you'd find inside: Great Lighting with Small Flashes: 40 Flash Workshops. Over the course of 290 pages, this book breaks down numerous techniques into digestible chunks – 40 chapters discussion subjects which range from portraits to product photography and macro photography.
What is particularly impressive me about Tilo's work and this book – the variety in subjects.
The author concentrates on speedlights and affordable accessories. So the techniques are well within the reach of every photographer.
The book starts off with a description of the gear he uses, as well as basic technical stuff you need to know before getting into the heart of the book.
The material in the book is easily accessible – the techie stuff is also distributed in each chapter as Tips, Tricks and Notes. There are also side-bar articles and In-Depth notes within each Workshop chapter, where topics are discussed on their own. There are also notes on any Photoshop techniques he used in post-processing an image.

Cheese Dreams
18 Feb 2009
|Bread slice
|Cheese slice
|4 (Less Than 1/2" Thick Cut The Same Size As The Slices Of Bread)
|2 Tablespoon
Put each piece of cheese between two slices of bread (taking care that the cheese does not overlap).
Tie a white thread round each sandwich.
Melt a tablespoonful of butter in a frying-pan, and cook the sandwiches for 4 or 5 minutes.
When one side is golden, add the rest of the butter, turn over and brown the other side for the same time.
The cheese should be just soft all through.
This simple appetizer is delicious, but it can be made even more so by putting a thin slice of ham inside between two very thin slices of cheese less than 1/4" thick, then putting this between the pieces of bread, as before.
Remove the white thread before serving.

This is truly
one of the best books I have ever read. I couldn't even
put it down to go to sleep! I loved how Cast actually made
it sound like a teenager, not an older person trying to
sound like a teenager. This book shows the ancient
struggle between good and evil, in a way that we can all
understand. Cast made an amazing bunch of characters; from
Damien the gay guy, to Erik the sweet hottie! I loved this
book and everything in it! I can't wait for the next!
There is some talk of sex and characters involved in
oral sex.

"North Bay Recovery Center is a private, innovative drug and alcohol treatment center exclusively for men located in San Rafael, California, just north of the San Francisco Bay Area. Our Marin County rehab facility helps young men who are addicted to alcohol or addicted to drugs heal and move forward with their lives. North Bay Recovery Center provides full-immersion addiction treatment for clients at every stage of recovery from drug and alcohol dependency. We provide a more evolved, pragmatic and holistic drug and alcohol addiction treatment program for Bay Area men with all substance abuse problems.Treating drug addiction and alcoholism in men is dramatically different than treating women with addiction disorders. For one, the core issues that are understood to cause addiction in men revolve around uniquely male experiences that can include father-son dynamics, denied emotions, emancipation, intimacy, and pressures related to stereotyped expectations of men. It follows then, that drug and alcohol treatment and subsequent long-term recovery in men requires its own unique protocol. This understanding makes addiction treatment at North Bay Recovery Center a unique experience.

Inpatient or Outpatient Treatment
Residential Inpatient treatment in Fremont usually consists of 24 hour care at a live-in facility. Full treatment services, including medical and behavioral therapy are provided all at one location near Fremont.
Medical supervision is generally placed over each resident. In drug treatment centers, clients can detox safely. In eating disorder centers in Fremont, residential programs enable effective monitoring of the client's health during the treatment program.
Inpatient care offers a structured atmosphere and allows the client and providers to focus on physical and psychological healing.
Outpatient treatment programs in Fremont or clinics provide flexibility to those who are unable to take time away from their regular lives, work or school. Programs typically meet at the clinic a couple of times every week for a few hours at a time.
Because clients are living away from the centers, outpatient facilities in Fremont are less able to focus on medical conditions and nutritional needs.
Certain programs provide a combination of the in/out approach: Inpatient for medical stabilization, partial hospitalization for moderate cases, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient clinics for follow-up.
Treatment Type
* How much can you afford? Generally, Fremont outpatient treatment is cheaper than inpatient treatment because housing is not provided and fewer hours of treatment (and often fewer therapy alternatives) are offered.
* Are you able to control your behaviors? Inpatient treatment provides constant supervision to offset the temptation of drugs or eating disordered behavior in the early stages of treatment.
* Follow-up support network near Fremont? If you do decide to attend inpatient treatment, look for a center that can offer you or direct you to another service where you will be provided with follow-up care after you leave in an effort to avoid relapse.
* Is your condition severe? Constant medical attention is given to those in inpatient care, which may be especially important for those with pain and eating disorders.
How Treatment Centers Can Help
Treatment centers in Fremont help clients with substance abuse issues, drug abuse and pain treatment. Drug detox or alcohol detox is the first step on the road to recovery from drug addiction or alcohol addiction and a clean life. After detoxing, the rehabilitation process can begin.
Eating Disorder treatment centers in Fremont help treat a range of problem eating and food issues such as childhood feeding disorders, food avoidance, obesity, Anorexia, Bulimia or compulsive overeating, binge eating, night eating and body image issues. They address the destructive behaviors and underlying emotional issues of disordered eating. Their programs can include family involvement and are designed to help patients in Fremont develop the skills they need to make lifelong change. Programs incorporate dietary counseling and nutritional education and may be supervised by a therapist, medical director, nurse and dietitian.

Meconium is a thick and sticky greenish black substance that forms in
the intestines of a
fetus. It is produced as the fetus swallows and
digests the amniotic fluid inside the womb. When the baby is born, meconium is
the first stool the baby passes.
Most normal newborns pass the meconium within 48 hours after birth.
Some babies cannot pass the meconium because of a blockage in the intestines,
known as a meconium plug. In babies born with
cystic fibrosis, the intestines may become blocked
from excessive mucus production. Stuck meconium must be flushed out by an
enema. Sometimes the blockage is so severe that
surgery is needed.

Rayz look to bounce back vs. Laredo
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Rayz could do only one thing while sifting through the rubble of a hideous loss: Get back to the basics.
Corpus Christi hosts Laredo tonight at the American Bank Center after absorbing perhaps its most disheartening loss of the season, a 5-1 setback against Arizona on Wednesday afternoon.
That game marked the Rayz' worse home-ice defeat since a 4-0 loss to Memphis on Nov. 11, 2006. The games had much the same feel, as Corpus Christi was outplayed from start to finish and never seemed to be in the contest. What made the Arizona loss particularly disturbing was the fact the Rayz (5-12-2, 12 points) entered it with a four-game unbeaten streak.
"We've just got to play better," coach Ken McRae said. "We were a good team (in the previous) four games and were average (against Arizona)."
"To go 3-0-1 and play like that negates what you did (coming in)," center Justin Quenneville said. "We couldn't get anything going and it seemed like nobody had a heartbeat."
Two new bodies are slated to be in the lineup tonight, with forward Jay Latulippe and defenseman Matt Smyth making their Rayz debuts after being acquired in trades earlier this week to address the need for secondary scoring and better defensive-zone play.
"Getting some new blood in the lineup helps," Quenneville said. "That will help motivate people and that's what we need."
The Arizona loss led to plenty of introspection, with fiery postgame speeches from McRae as well as a couple players that stressed mental preparation and work ethic among other things.
That will definitely be needed against a Laredo team that leads the Central Hockey League in points and undoubtedly will be looking for payback after the Rayz rallied for three third-period goals to beat the Bucks in Laredo a week ago.
"We've just got to start over and keep working hard," forward Kevin Watters said. "We can't take nights off with the team we have right now. We have to outwork teams. If we do that, we'll win our fair share of games."

Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan acknowledges the misery, yet is adamant that better days are ahead of this organization. He appeared on "Jaguars All Access," on Action News 47: "It's embarrassing but there are better days ahead", he said. "I'm deeply grateful to the fans for supporting us. They've done their part. Now we have to do our part." "Whether it's a football team or an auto parts company, you need three things: Right people in the right spots, processing and decision making that's right and you need support from fans, sponsors or owners. We have to finish the season. You can't be rushing to judgment. I wish life was that simple, that you could hire and fire people and things would change. I am committed to building a sustainable, winning organization." "I'm not a talent evaluator so I'll let you guys be the judge of that. My job is to get the people who evaluate the talent. Over time, they're going to get it right. I don't want to speak on the talent. The results, we know. Obviously, if you're a Jaguars fans, Jaguars player or coach, front office, this is not a good thing. We have to move on and produce better results."

Why? Like you likely could have caught from earlier posts especially in the Is Mexico Safe? thread, your van will have it's full VIN listed, that bike will only have a partial VIN listed. This is pursuant to the stipulation that only one road vehicle is allowed per TVIP. The bike would be considered a recreational vehicle. Essentially, the officiales will be letting you bring it in as an off-road bike.
The two indicators to you and to those officials who care that the bike is not allowed on the road are (1) the truncated VIN, and (2) the fact that it isn't appearing on its very own TVIP. The fact that it's listed on the "primary" TVIP for a vehicle with a fully listed VIN is the big tag.
Having said all of this. Would I bring the bike into Mexico as described and then ride it on the road? jajajajja ask me that over a tequila. Your bike is plated, right? And nobody I know is putting their bike's TVIP on the windscreen anymore. We're all keeping them in the tank bag or pannier. So your bike won't stand out because you don't have a TVIP sticker on it. Roadside inspections? Let's just say that last week, when I returned, I completed a trip where I didn't see even a military checkpoint going
. Could you be waived over by the Federal Police? Sure. Would they check your TVIP? In theory they might. It's your call. I think the chances are slim you would be caught. IMHO you would be taking a small, calculated risk riding a "secondary vehicle" on the highways. I think you would get away with it, but hey, you heard the disclaimers.

A digital audio/video archive and distribution system (10) and method utilize a signal capture and compression encoding subsystem (12) to translate an analog signal from at least one media source (14) into at least one digital signal segment. The digital signal segment is automatically correlated with identifying information (18) input via an Internet connection, and both are stored in a searchable database subsystem (24). Upon a user request (28) received via an Internet connection, or programming prompt, a graphical user interface (GUI), such as a web-based user interface, is created to distribute one or more of the stored digital signal segments.
1. A method for distributing digital audio or video information comprising the steps of:
translating an input analog signal into at least one digital signal segment;
automatically correlating the at least one signal segment with identifying data received from an Internet connection;
storing the correlated at least one signal segment and identifying data in a storage device;
selecting at least one stored signal segment for distribution to a user terminal;
formatting the at least one selected signal segment for output on an Internet connection; and
sending the at least one selected signal segment to the user terminal via the Internet connection, wherein said translating step comprises:
receiving a request to capture an analog signal;
extracting a plurality of capture parameters from the received request; and
capturing the analog signal in accordance with the plurality of extracted parameters to effect translation of the analog signal into the at least one digital signal segment.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said capture request is automatically generated in response to receipt of the identifying data received from the Internet connection.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of compressing the at least one digital signal segment before storing in the storage device.
4. The method of claim 3 further comprising transmitting the GUI interface on a broadband communication network.
The present invention relates to audio/video distribution systems, and more particularly to improvements in processing and archival of digital audio and video signals for subsequent distribution to an end user.
High-speed data networks open up new opportunities to provide users with content previously too bandwidth-intensive for common use. Network-delivered digital video is an example of this type of content. Even though digital video is possible on high-speed data networks, applications that take advantage of it must be selected carefully. In general, traditional analog video distribution channels are far more efficient than today's personal computer (PC) based video systems. Only applications that leverage "digital manipulation," such as random access, searching, etc., are commercially attractive when compared to video distribution via traditional means.
For example, a classroom environment is an ideally suited application for such a digital video distribution network because of the readily accessible and potentially boundless information resource tool provided thereby. More specifically, student interest can be heightened and learning accentuated if a teacher is provided with the capability of easy and instantaneous access to video information relating to a multitude of different topics. Another ideally suited application is for a an Internet based news service which fully integrates video clips with the associated news stories. Numerous other applications could be enhanced if utilized in conjunction with a digital video distribution system. The same is true for distribution of digital audio with or without a video signal component.
However, known distribution arrangements have not proven satisfactory because such arrangements have generally been unable to adequately re-purpose or translate analog/digital signal information content so as to produce an easily searchable and accessible archive database. In other words, inefficient data input and storage processing and formatting have heretofore limited the usefulness of digital information distribution systems. Thus, a need exists for a digital audio/video archive and distribution system which can repurpose analog signal content to provide easy and flexible output to end user terminals.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved method and system for distribution of digital audio and digital video information which automatically translates and archives analog signal content for subsequent reproduction when desired.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method and system for distribution of digital video information which translates analog audio and video content into corresponding digital audio or video segments which can then be stored in an easily searchable database.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method and system for distribution of digital audio and video information which translates analog signal content into corresponding digital audio or video segments, archives the digital segments in a searchable database, and reproduces requested digital segments on a broadband communication media when prompted.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method and system for distribution of digital audio and video information which captures analog signal content from a plurality of media sources, translates the captured signal content into digital segments, and reproduces the digital segments for output on a graphical user interface (GUI), such as web pages which can be accessed via a web-based GUI user interface.
In accordance with these and other objects, the present invention provides a method for distributing digital audio or video information including translating an input analog signal into at least one digital signal segment and automatically correlating the at least one signal segment with identifying data received from an Internet connection. The method further includes storing the correlated at least one signal segment and identifying data in a storage device. The method further includes selecting at least one stored signal segment for distribution to a user terminal when prompted, such as by receiving a request for distribution over an Internet connection, or through a programming input. The at least one selected signal segment is formatted for output on an Internet connection, and is sent to the user terminal via the Internet connection.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a system for distributing digital audio or video information comprises a signal capture processor for translating an input analog signal into at least one digital signal segment, a control processor operative to automatically correlate the at least one signal segment with identifying data received from an Internet connection, and a storage device connected to the control processor for storing the correlated at least one video segment and identifying data. The control processor includes a distribution output generator for formatting and sending the at least one selected signal segment to a user terminal via an Internet communication system. The system further comprises a user input connected to the Internet communication system for allowing a user terminal to select the desired at least one stored signal segment to be distributed.
In accordance with other aspects of the present invention, the method and system can include compressing the at least one digital video segment, distributing the selected signal segments using a broadband communication system, or through a graphical user interface (GUI) type interface, such as a web-based interface, via a broadband communication system, and creating a file directory protocol which facilitates both the correlation of the at least one digital signal segment with any associated files, such as a corresponding text file, and the ability to store the at least one signal segment in a searchable database.
The above objects and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention are readily apparent from the following detailed description of the best mode for carrying out the invention when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a digital video file storage scheme;
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the video capture and compression encoding subsystem of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the media request service of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the capture process of FIG. 4; and
FIG. 7 is a block diagram of the compression process of FIG. 4.
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram for a digital audio/video archive and distribution system 10 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. While the preferred embodiment is described hereinbelow in context with capturing, archiving, and distributing video signal components, the present invention is readily applicable to distribution of audio-only signals, or a combination of audio and video signal components. Thus, the preferred embodiment is not limited solely to processing of video signal components.
As shown, system 10 includes a video capture and encoding subsystem 12 which receives analog video signals from at least one multimedia device 14, such as a video tape player, satellite receive, camera, or the like. As more fully described below, video capture and encoding subsystem 12 includes suitable programming for automatically dividing any received analog signal into one or more corresponding digital video segments, which are subsequently supplied to a central processing subsystem 16. Central processing subsystem 16 generally includes video segment information generator 18 connected to a data control processor 20, and a video staging and delivery server 22.
System 10 further includes a digital video database storage subsystem 24 connected to central processing subsystem 16 for storing as a retrievable archive each digital video segment generated by capture and encoding subsystem 12. More specifically, while not to be construed as limiting, the actual digitized signals can be stored in a UNIX file system, while pointers to the respective UNIX files can be stored in subsystem 24. In addition, an authorizing subsystem 26 is connected to the staging and delivery server 22 of central processing subsystem 16 for allowing editing and production oversight of digital video information ultimately distributed to an end user 28. Finally, a video (e.g., VDO) server 30 is connected to the staging and delivery server 22 to serve streamed video clips to website viewers.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the overall video input and management process in accordance with the present invention. Initially, background information for each input analog video signal is entered at block 100. Input of this background is preferably done via a prearranged input form created in a graphical user interface (GUI) type interface, such as a web-based user interface. Examples of the type of background information input at block 100 include a category for which the associated analog video information relates, time and date of the video information, a start and stop time denoting the length of time for the associated analog video clip/information, a title, a text description to be associated with the analog video information, and a designation of the type of video format to be employed, i.e., jpg, mpg, etc.
If the input information is valid and in proper form, the information is forwarded to the staging and delivery server 22 via an "http" (Hypertext Transport Protocol) request as shown at block 102. Server 22 subsequently validates the input background information again, and then creates a directory in which to save the associated information and all relevant files associated with the information. For example, the directory can be named based on the date of the video information. In other words, if the video information were a news story broadcast on Jun. 10, 1997, the directory structure and naming scheme for that story could be of the form "11997/06/10". This directory will be relative, or a subdirectory, to the "root" directory of the web server itself.
In the preferred embodiment, the directory naming scheme is of the form "HHHHCCNN.ext", where "HHHH" is the hour of the video information broadcast, using a 24-hour (military time) method. The "CC" is a two-character mnemonics used for the category of the story, and the "NN" is a sequential number ranging from "01" to "99" in order to assure a unique name to each input video clip/segment. For example, if a news story were broadcast on May 21, 1997 at 10:00 AM destined for the Sports category page and being the first sports related story for the 10:00 AM show, then the associated video segment would have the name "1000sp01" and would be stored in the directory 1997/05/21. This entire process is handled automatically by server 22, and is generally denoted at block 104.
As shown at block 106, a request is made to the capture and encoding subsystem 12 via an "http" request, to capture and encode the appropriate video segment at block 108. This request is received and processed by subsystem 12 which then receives the analog video information at block 110, compresses the video in accordance with known compression techniques, and sends the compressed video segment to the web server at block 112 to be stored in the same directory with all other related/associated files.
In addition, at block 114, server 22 initiates maintenance and updating of the archive database. During this stage of the process, all relevant information pertaining to the current video information is inserted into the archive database. As noted previously, this database is used in conjunction with a search engine to maintain the location of each video clip/segment and associated information. In the preferred embodiment, when a user wishes to search the archives for a particular video segment(s), the archive database will provide the location and web-based links necessary to access the requested video segment(s). The present invention can be readily adapted to permit multiple database server vendors to operate as the archive database.
In order to provide processing consistency, individual files generated by the present invention preferably maintain the same naming scheme as their associated video segment. For example, for the above-noted file "1000sp01", a file named "1000sp01.html" designates a web server story file generated to contain the actual script and information which will visually appear on the web page. This file also controls the placement and size of any relevant images or web links related to that story. A file named "1000sp01.jpg" or "1000sp01.mpg" denotes image extensions used for the video segment. Each extension refers to a different image format and technology, and may be multiple in nature. A file named "1000sp01.vdo" or "1000sp01.ram" refers to the type of video server used to play the video segment. The present invention allows for multiple video server formats in order to accommodate future changes in video technology and vendor/customer requirements. Finally, a file named "1000sp01.AVI" denotes the actual compressed video segment, and can vary depending on the type of technology used for the video capture and encoding process. The present invention allows for multiple capture/encoding formats which will be determined and requested by the analog video provider at the time of data input.
FIG. 3 provides a graphical view of a file storage protocol in accordance with the present invention. For example, all the directory files for a video news story input on Jun. 10, 1997, will reside at a server base/root directory, 1997/06/10, as denoted at blocks 150, 152, 154, and 156. The associated files are shown at block 158.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a preferred embodiment for video capture and compression encoding subsystem 12 in accordance with the present invention. In general, subsystem 12 is arranged to receive requests for video files, capture raw, uncompressed video clips into digital video files, compress the video files, and output them to a web server, or other suitable Internet type server. Subsystem 12 includes suitable programming to provide automatic capture and conversion of analog video/audio sources to digital files that can be distributed via an Internet connection/interface. More specifically, a media request service 200 receives requests 106 to process analog video clips. A request 106 specifies the parameters needed by the rest of the system 10 to produce a digital video file. A capture process 202 controls the media input source(s) 14 and produces digital files from the analog inputs. A compression process 204 receives the digital files from the capture process 202 and reduces their size by compressing them. A plurality of processors 206 can be used to implement the compression process, wherein the number is dependent on the size and design of the system. The digital video files are then sent to one or more web servers 208. Each component of subsystem 12 is further described hereinbelow in context with FIGS. 5-7.
FIG. 5 illustrates the media request service 200 in more detail. In general, the media request service 200 receives the requests for video files, and stores them in files which are used by the capture and compression processes 202 and 204. Requests to system 10 are made via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to service 200, which operates as part of an Internet information server. In an exemplary embodiment, media request service 200 is implemented as an Internet Server API (ISAPI) dynamic link library (DLL) 210. An ISAPI DLL is invoked from a browser application, or any other application which supports HTTP. The request for a digital media file can include the following information:
A) Source of video file;
B) File name;
C) Start time;
D) Stop time;
E) Frame rate;
F) Frame size;
G) Color depth;
H) Audio settings;
I) Compression method;
J) Compression settings;
K) Output server name;
L) Output server destination;
M) Priority; and
N) Redirection location.
Media request service 200 is arranged to parse the HTTP request, extract the various parameters of the request, and store the results in a file 212. Service 200 also logs all of its activity to a log text file 214 so its progress can be monitored. Finally, the media request service 200 redirects the HTTP request to another server so the process that initiated the request can complete its functions.
FIG. 6 illustrates the capture process 202 in more detail. As noted previously, capture process 202 is responsible for capturing media files specified by the request files 212 created from the media request service 200 and forwards them to the compression process 204. Capture process 202 monitors a network directory where media request service 200 stores the request files 212. When a new request file is discovered, a capture entry is made in a capture queue 216 with all the parameters needed to complete a media capture. Entries in the queue can be ordered by priority, start time, segment length, or by using a simple first in, first out scheme. The system can be adapted to allow the user to adjust or control how the queue is ordered.
A capture dispatcher 218 takes the capture entry from the top of the queue and performs the capture. By using the parameters specified in the request file, capture dispatcher 218 selects an appropriate capture card 220, and media source(s) 14. Capture dispatcher 218 also synchronizes the media source with the capture by setting the start and stop times of the media device. The capture card 220 captures and converts the analog media source and saves it to a digital file. When the capture is completed, the captured raw media file 222 is forwarded to the compression process 204 by performing a network copy to the machine where the process resides. The request file 212 is also forwarded to the compression process 204 in order to convey the necessary compression parameters and final output destination. Capture process 202 also logs all of its activity to log text file 224 so its progress can be monitored.
If system 10 is configured with several processors/capture cards/media sources, the dispatcher 218 can be arranged to utilize each resource to provide for multiple, concurrent captures. If resources for a request are not currently available, the capture entry will be placed back in the capture queue.
As shown in FIG. 7, compression process 204 receives the raw media files 22 from capture process 202, compresses them using the compression scheme specified in the request file, and places the compressed file on an Internet server. While not to be construed as limiting, several processors 230 can be configured to allow several files to be compressed at the same time, thereby decreasing the amount of time required for compression.
When a new raw media file 222 is discovered by compression process 204, a compression entry is made in a compression queue 226. Entries in the queue can be ordered by priority, start time, segment length, or by using a simple first in, first out scheme. The system can also be adapted to allow the user to adjust or control how the compression queue 226 is ordered. A compression dispatcher 228 takes a compression entry from the top of the compression queue and performs the indicated compression. By using the parameters specified in the request file 212, compression dispatcher 228 selects the appropriate compression method to use and selects a processor 230 for the compression. The dispatcher 228 only processes entries when processing power is available.
Compression techniques vary for the type of compression required. For methods that have an API (Application Program Interface), such as Real Video, dispatcher 228 creates a thread that will perform the compression. For methods that have no API, such as VDO, dispatcher 228 launches a separate program supplied by VDO that performs the compression.
When the compression is completed, the compressed media file 232 is copied to the Internet server 208 and location specified in the request file 212 by using FTP (file transfer protocol). Compression process 204 also logs all of its activity to a log text file 232 so its progress can be monitored.
Thus, the present invention provides a way of automatically archiving and distributing audio/video segments via GUI/web-based Internet connections. To allow customized control of distribution process, authorizing station 26 provides a GUI type mechanism wherein certain web-related administrative and maintenance functions can be performed. For example, station 26 can provide a producer interface having various administrative/maintenance menus which permit review of video segments already entered into a system output web site for the current and previous days. In addition, a menu selection can be provided to allow video segments to be removed from the web site without removing them from the archive database, thereby allow for access of the removed video segments in future archive searches. Such itemized control allows a producer flexibility in maintaining web pages and eliminates the need to remove all video segments currently being distributed on an Internet web page simply to update that particular page.
Another menu can be provided to allow updating of the web sites' category pages. Such a menu can activate a background process on a web server, which in turn gathers all video segments input for a given period of time and automatically generates a new "category" page. Each category page will now include all the video segments related to each particular category. When the web user selects a category button from a home page, he or she will now see all video segments input for a given category. It is preferable to update all category pages whenever video segments are entered or removed from the output web site to reflect the addition or deletion of any such video segments.
Yet another menu can be provided to allow all segments and pages which have been input and reviewed to be made available for public viewing. Such a menu can activate a background process on a web server to move all newly generated pages to a production/delivery phase. These pages would then be available to the public on a web site.
Still another menu can be provided to allow removal of video files from the archive database at the same time they are deleted from an output web page. This assures that stories can be permanently removed from the system.
As a final example, a menu can be provided which allows verification that all video segments input for an output web page can also be found by the archive database. This menu would allow a producer to verify and cross check that all video clips input for that day can be found in both the web site and also the archive database.
While the best mode for carrying out the invention has been described in detail, those familiar with the art to which this invention relates will recognize various alternative designs and embodiments for practicing the invention as defined by the following claims.
