Further uses include the analysis of properties of the light itself (such as the determination of the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation). Still further uses include the analysis of one or more properties (e.g. refractive index) of the matter through which the light passes. Part of the interference pattern is captured at a pixellated detector, such as a CCD chip, and the captured pattern compared with a calculated pattern. Very precise measurements of the spacing between maxima is possible, thus allowing very precise measurements of position of the detector in the interference pattern. | 06-30-2011 |

20110286606 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NOISE CANCELLATION - A noise cancellation signal is generated based on detected ambient noise, such that the noise cancellation signal and a wanted sound signal can be applied to a speaker. Gain control is applied to the wanted sound signal based on a comparison between the detected ambient noise level and the wanted sound signal level, for example such that the level of the wanted sound signal after the gain has been applied exceeds the level of a detected ambient noise signal by a certain threshold. Steps may also be taken such that the total level of the wanted sound signal after the gain has been applied and of the detected ambient noise signal do not exceed a second threshold, to avoid saturating the speaker to which they are applied. | 11-24-2011 |

20100146020 | System and Method for the Parallelization of Saturated Accumulation Operations - A system and method for parallelization of saturated accumulation is provided. In the method, an input sequence is divided into a plurality of subsequences. For each subsequence, three parallel saturating additions are performed. The local saturation minimum is the saturating addition of the global saturation minimum and the values of the subsequence. The local midpoint is the saturating addition of the values of the subsequence and the local saturation maximum is the saturating addition of the global saturation maximum and the values of the subsequence. In embodiments, the accumulation total for a subsequence is calculated as the saturating addition of the accumulation total for prior subsequences and the local midpoint of the current subsequence, wherein the accumulation total of the last subsequence is the result of the saturated accumulation for the sequence. In another embodiment, the saturated addition of subsequence results are further parallelized before the final result is reached. | 06-10-2010 |
