US Patent:

7010730, Mar 7, 2006

Filed:

Nov 1, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/704888

Inventors:

Richard C. Jaworski - Alpharetta GA, US
Robert L. Richards - Roswell GA, US
James E. Barker - Lawrenceville GA, US
Herman B. Elliott - Duluth GA, US

Assignee:

Sunrise Telecom Incorporated - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714704

Abstract:

A system and method for testing a portion of a cable network provides a pattern generator, addresser, forward error corrector, and comparator. The system and method is particularly adapted to testing the upstream channel in a cable network. The pattern generator generates a test signal. The addresser addresses the signal to a known server and also instructs the known server to return the test signal to the test system. The forward error corrector corrects errors introduced in the test signal in transmission from the known server to the test system. The comparator then compares the returned test signal to the originally transmitted test signal to determine the performance of the back channel. Preferably, the comparator uses a bit error rate test to determine the performance of the back channel.

Filed:

Jun 8, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/450532

Inventors:

Robert Alan Richards - Denver CO, US
Ernest Rafael Vega - Rego Park NY, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

700 94

Abstract:

The invention generally pertains to enhancing a sensory perception of media. More particularly, the invention pertains to creating a composition having at least one frequency in the ultrasonic or infrasonic range. By way of example, the composition is inaudible in its preferred embodiment, but audible components are contemplated. One aspect of the invention relates to selecting a root frequency and then, via a mathematical operation or algorithm, calculating a single component frequency or a plurality of frequencies that lie in the infrasonic or ultrasonic range. Typically, infrasonic and ultrasonic frequencies lie outside the range of hearing for the average human being. The ultrasonic or infrasonic component frequency is not heard, yet its presence and its tonal characteristics may enhance a perception of the sensory content of a media conveyed through a media device. Another aspect of the invention relates to encoding media with a composition having one or more calculated component frequencies such that, at least one of the component frequencies is less than 20 Hz or greater than 20 kHz.

Appl. No.:

11/859276

Inventors:

Robert E. Richards - Marietta GA, US

International Classification:

G01C 21/00
G01S 5/00

US Classification:

701 15, 701208

Abstract:

The present invention discloses a method of providing takeoff runway information. The method includes determining an aircraft's position on an airfield by a global positioning system (“GPS”) receiver in the aircraft and retrieving takeoff runway data from a database based on the aircraft's position as determined by the GPS receiver. Apparatus for practicing the method is also disclosed.
