Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120014351SYSTEM FOR CONTEXT TRANSFER FOR WIRELESS INTERNET DEVICES - A system and method for feature context transfer store all currently “active” feature contexts locally at an Access Router (AR), and store all “inactive” feature contexts centrally in a main database. The main database can be accessed by all the ARs within the same administrative domain. When a new microflow becomes active, its active feature contexts are brought from the main database and loaded into the local directory, thus replacing any inactive feature contexts that are not needed at the time.01-19-2012

20090295606APPARATUS FOR ENHANCING PACKET COMMUNICATION - An apparatus for enhancing packet communication is disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes an encoder configured to convert input data to a binary coded base system of an augmented code employing a base of an original code used for coding the input data, wherein the augmented code employs more symbols for coding than the original code, the encoder including: (1) an adder configured to add the input data to a multiplication product to generate a base sum that is binary-coded in the augmented code, (2) a multiplier configured to multiply an accumulated value by a base of the original code to provide the multiplication product that is binary-coded in the augmented code, and (3) an accumulator configured to employ the base sum to provide an accumulated value as an output for the encoder, wherein the accumulated value is binary-coded in the augmented code to represent the input data.12-03-2009
20090313697System and method for pathological pattern protection - In a frame synchronous scrambled communications network, communications are protected from pathological bit patterns that may lead to loss of receiver lock by detecting a pathological bit pattern in an incoming traffic stream using a pathological pattern detector. When a pathological bit pattern, such as a transition-less bit pattern, is detected, a corrective bit pattern is generated and inserted or substituted into the incoming traffic stream before transmission to the receiver. The receiver can be configured to revert the modified traffic stream back to the original traffic stream.12-17-2009

20120098690HIGH FREQUENCY SIGNAL COMPARATOR FOR SHA-LESS ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTERS - A high frequency input signal comparator for optimizing group delay, reducing input frequency dependent offset and an offset auto-zeroing latch core are described. The comparator may include an isolation switch stage, and a latch core. The isolation switch stage may isolate latch core depending upon a control signal, thereby reducing input frequency dependent offset. The latch core may include a pair of inverters cross coupled via an impedance to one another. The latch core may include latch switches selected to attain a certain gain across the individual inverters comprising the latch core while resetting the latch core. The gain across the individual inverters during the acquire/reset phase may bootstrap the coupling impedances, thereby reducing loading and group delay at the input of the latch core. The coupling impedances may be designed to minimize or auto-zero statistical offset, thereby minimize input referred offset.04-26-2012
