DS I am honored that you think that I am smart enough to think up all of that techno mumble jumble. After posting last night, I thought of companies that JDSU purchased that may have patents. I checked one out and found this (followed by a couple new ones issued to JDSU directly, and the link to my source): Patents for Broadband Communications Products, Inc which was acquired by JDSU on 11/25/1998 US05963608 10/05/1999 Clock extractor for high speed, variable data rate communication system US05838749 11/17/1998 Method and apparatus for extracting an embedded clock from a digital data signal US05754577 05/19/1998 Compensation for variations in temperature and aging of laser diode by use of small signal, square-law portion of transfer function of diode detection circuit US05550864 08/27/1996 Bit rate-insensitive mechanism for transmitting integrated clock and data signals over digital communication link US05410600 04/25/1995 Pre-scramble encoding method and apparatus for digital communication Patents for JDS Uniphase US05995523 11/30/1999 Single mode laser suitable for use in frequency multiplied applications and method US05971628 10/26/1999 Holder for optoelectronic device having connection pins bent toward a connection means From patents.ibm.com William
