    Architecture of connecting optical PCB, transceiver modules for optical PCB and optical connection block

    No full text
    Disclosed herein is an architecture of connecting a transceiver module for an optical PCB, in which an active photo-electric element and other components to be integrated in the optical PCB having waveguides are packaged, waveguides arranged in the optical PCB, and an optical connection block for optical coupling between the transceiver module and the waveguides of the optical PCB. Guide pin insertion holes are formed at one sides of the ends of the waveguides such that the optical PCB, the transceiver module and the optical connection block can be passively aligned using guide pins inserted into the guide pin insertion holes

    A USB compatible apparatus for connecting an optical universal serial bus (USB) (or an optical serial bus; OSB) device and an electrical USB device, and a structure of the apparatus are provided. More particularly, a USB compatible apparatus for guaranteeing a connection between an optical USB device for inputting/outputting an optical signal and an electrical USB device for inputting/outputting an electrical signal, for example, signal transmission and reception between an electrical USB device (e.g., an electrical USB memory) and an optical USB device (e.g., a computer) having an optical USB port, and a structure of the USB compatible apparatus (a first exemplary embodiment), and a USB compatible apparatus for guaranteeing signal transmission and reception between an optical USB device (e.g., an optical USB memory) and an electrical USB device (e.g., a portable telephone) having an electrical USB port, and a structure of the USB compatible apparatus (a second exemplary embodiment) are provided

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
