Filed:

Mar 14, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/389496

Inventors:

William Hart - Huntley IL, US
David Smentek - Addison IL, US
John Moran - Millville MA, US

Assignee:

General Instrument Corporation - Horsham PA

International Classification:

G01R027/04
G01R027/32

US Classification:

324/637000

Abstract:

A method and an apparatus are employed for individually monitoring the connectivity status of cables connected at a cable modem termination system (CMTS), where the cables conduct upstream and downstream RF communication signals. The monitoring is self-contained within the CMTS. The monitoring is achieved by producing a reference signal having a frequency outside the frequency range of the RF communication signals. The reference signal is injected onto the RF communication signal. The power level of the reference signal is detected within the CMTS, whereby the power level correlates with an expected cable load impedance. A DC control voltage based on the detected power level of the reference signal is generated, which allows a controller to determine the connectivity statuses of the connected cables.

Timothy W. Markison - Mesa AZ, US

International Classification:

G06Q 40/06

US Classification:

705 36 R

Abstract:

An asset modification device includes memory, an asset modification module, and operation modules. The memory stores limit tables and asset operational data. The asset modification module selects an asset to modify, a limit table regarding the asset, an operational module based on an entry in the limit table, and evaluation data. A specific task execution module of the selected operation module executes a specific task on asset operational data of the asset to produce a modified asset when an evaluation data filter of the selected operation module indicates that analysis of the evaluation data is favorable for modification of the asset via the specific task.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707609

Abstract:

A device includes a network interface module, memory, and a processing module. The memory stores limit tables regarding an asset and operational data regarding the asset. When an asset is to be modified, the processing module retrieves a limit table(s) and identifies time-varying and time-sensitive data and an operation therefrom. The processing module then receives, via the network interface module, the time-varying and time-sensitive data and analyzes it based on evaluation criteria in the limit table. When the analysis is favorable, the processing module triggers the operation. With the operation triggered, the processing module further analyzes the time-varying and time-sensitive data based on correlated evaluation criteria of the evaluation criteria. When the further analysis is favorable, the processing module activates the operation for execution up operational data regarding the asset such that the asset is modified.

Appl. No.:

6/172191

Inventors:

John C. Moran - Glen Ellyn IL

Assignee:

Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04Q 1104

US Classification:

370 67

Abstract:

A multimodule time division switching system is disclosed in which intermodule calls are served by transmitting call information words over a bus system interconnecting all modules. Each transmitted word contains information specifying the receiving module identification number, the time slot in which the call is to be served in the receiving module, as well as the message or intelligence representing the subject matter of the call. A FIFO memory in each module is used as an input buffer to temporarily store each received word and thereby reduce the need for short term time slot synchronization between modules.

US Classification:

424663

Abstract:

A peritoneal dialysis solution and method of administering same to a patient are provided wherein the sodium concentration in the solution is decreased thus causing sodium to be transported from the circulation to the peritoneal cavity. This provides for an improved ultrafiltration profile (more volume over a longer period of time) for the same initial osmolality when compared to standard solutions. Also, the same ultrafiltration profile as standard solutions can be achieved with lower initial osmolalities. A reduced amount of osmotic agent can be used to achieve equivalent ultrafiltration.

John C. Moran - Glen Ellyn IL

Assignee:

Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04Q 1104

US Classification:

370 62

Abstract:

A multimodule time division switching system is disclosed having facilities for the serving of conference calls between port circuits in at least three different modules. Each module serving a conference call transmits a series of call data words to the other modules serving the same call over a special bus system interconnecting all modules. Each word contains information including a module ID number and a time slot number as well as the message or intelligence representing the subject matter of the call. The transmitted ID number specifies the identity of the other modules serving the same call and to which the word is directed. The transmitted time slot number specifies the time slot in which the call is to be served by only a first one of the specified receiving modules. This first module responds to the reception of the word and serves the call in the specified time slot. The other specified module responds to the reception of the word, derives a new time slot number from the transmitted slot number and serves the call in this derived time slot.

Appl. No.:

7/393968

Inventors:

John Moran - Marina Del Rey CA

International Classification:

B42D 1500

US Classification:

283 81

Abstract:

A multiple ply label assembly intended to be removably adhered to the surface of a sheet (e. g. a sheet of paper stationery) to be printed upon. A printer apparatus (e. g. computer printer or typewriter) is then controlled to concurrently print onto both the sheet surface and label assembly in the same operation. The removably adhered label assembly can then be removed from the sheet without leaving any discernible residue thereon and a label portion of the label assembly can be separated therefrom and affixed to an end use sheet (e. g. an envelope for mailing).
