20090039592 | Product orienting apparatus - A product orienting apparatus for orienting a product according to the present invention comprises a table comprising a rotatable device. The table has a table surface comprising at least a first surface area being provided by the rotatable device. The device is rotatable about an axis substantially perpendicular to the table surface. The table also has an array of substantially identical spherical rollers, each spherical roller being suitable for contacting the product at a first contacting point of the spherical roller and for contacting the table surface with a second contacting point of the spherical roller. The array of spherical rollers comprises a first group of spherical rollers contacting the surface area of the device with their second contacting point thereby enabling to convert a rotation of the device into rotation of a product contacting the spherical rollers of the first group of spherical rollers. The table furthermore has a plate having an aperture encompassing the rotatable device. The table surface comprises a second surface area provided by the plate. The second surface area is substantially coplanar with the first surface area. | 02-12-2009 |

20130251141 | TIME-ALIGNMENT OF CROSSTALK ACQUISITION PHASES BETWEEN MULTIPLE JOINING LINES - In an embodiment, the access node includes first and second transceiver units for initializing first and second communication channels, respectively, over first and second communication lines, respectively. The initialization of the first and second communication channels respectively including first and second handshake phases wherein peer transceiver units exchange capabilities and select (i) a common mode of operation, (ii) first and second crosstalk channel acquisition phases from the first and second communication lines, and (iii) first and second generic initialization phases. The access node further includes a line initialization controller configured to stretch the execution of the first handshake phase with respect to the execution of the second handshake phase so as to shorten a time difference between respective entries into the first and second crosstalk channel acquisition phases. | 09-26-2013 |
20150063560 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING COMMUNICATION PATHS - At least one example embodiment discloses a method of initializing a plurality of communication paths in a system. The method includes obtaining a first matrix from a storage medium, the first matrix including at least one channel sub-matrix of the system associated with a subset of the plurality of communication paths, obtaining an indication of which communication paths are to become active and determining, after the obtaining the indication, new compensation coefficients based on the at least one channel sub-matrix and active compensation coefficients, the active compensation coefficients for compensating for crosstalk between the active communication paths prior to the number of active communication paths changing. | 03-05-2015 |
