Filed:

Nov 1, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/265493

Inventors:

Marc Bernard - Vienna VA, US
Thomas Conklin - Leesburg VA, US

International Classification:

H04N 7/173

US Classification:

725129000, 725127000

Abstract:

A method of ensuring continuous receipt of video services based on certain conditions in a passive optical network (PON) is provided. The method includes (i) detecting at a PON element a condition indicating a change of states in receipt of video services, (ii) starting a timing mechanism having a default value stored in the PON element, and (iii) enabling receipt of video services at the PON element for an amount of time defined by the default value. The receipt of video services may be disabled after the amount of time defined by the default value.

International Classification:

H04J 14/02

US Classification:

398 79, 398 43

Abstract:

An integrated overlay card, an optical line terminal with an integrated overlay card, and a method for operating an optical network. The integrated overlay card may fit at least partially within the optical line terminal. The integrated overlay card includes a wavelength dimension multiplexer/demultiplexer that overlays first signals at a first wavelength onto second signals at a second wavelength, so as to combine signals. The combined signals may be routed to an optical network. In example embodiments, the invention may be used to provide an IP television service.

International Classification:

H04J 14/02

US Classification:

398 79

Abstract:

An Optical Network Terminal (ONT) simulator is provided. The ONT simulator includes one or more partially functional ONTs coupled to an Optical Line Termination (OLT) and an ONT/Optical network termination Management and Control Interface (ONT/OMCI) simulation utility. The ONTs receive test network traffic from the OLT and forward any OMCI traffic contained in the network traffic to the ONT/OMCI simulation utility. The ONT/OMCI simulation utility in turn simulates the operation of field-deployable ONT using the OMCI traffic.

Assignee:

North American Philips Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

H01J 3100

US Classification:

313388

Abstract:

In a pyroelectric vidicon, the target is covered with a layer of vacuum compatible material which has a high secondary emission coefficient, a low first cross-over and low conductivity to prevent decomposition of the target.

International Classification:

G06F 9/455

US Classification:

718 1

Abstract:

According to an example, a method for virtual computing resource orchestration includes receiving environmental data related to an operational characteristic of a compute resource for hosting a virtual machine (VM), receiving VM data related to an operational characteristic of the VM, and determining if the environmental data or the VM data violate predetermined threshold values respectively related to the environmental data and the VM data. The method further includes generating an event based on violation of one of the threshold values by the environmental data or the VM data, evaluating, by a processor, a rule to determine an action based on the violation of one of the threshold values, and executing the action to modify the operational characteristic of the compute resource or the operational characteristic of the VM.
