Cavities in tool match diameter and maximum depths of coaxial cable conductor, dielectric and coaxial cable connector and/or coaxial cable connector rotation aid. Inserting stripped coaxial cable into the tool having cavities that match the coaxial cable dimensions and rotating the tool with respect to the cable, the braiding is thus parted from the dielectric in preparation for seating. By placing the coaxial cable connector in alignment with the axis of the tool and cable and pressing the tool along the axis of the cable, the coaxial cable connector is thus fully seated on the cable and is fully prepared for crimping. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20090185574 | TIMING SYSTEM FOR MODULAR CABLE MODEM TERMINATION SYSTEM - A modular Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) includes a packet shelf operating a Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) Media Access Control (MAC) framer. One or more downstream Physical Interface (PHY) shelves receive DOCSIS data from the packet shelf over a packet switched network and modulate the DOCSIS data for sending on a downstream path of a cable plant. One or more upstream PHY shelves send DOCSIS data received from an upstream path of the cable plant over the packet switched network to the packet shelf. By separating the PHY components from the MAC and from the system software, the PHY components for a Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) plant may be replaced with different PHY components for other access technologies such as wireless, Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), Ethernet-to-the-Home, Fiber-to-the-Home, or fiber Passive Optical Networks (PONs). | 07-23-2009 |

| 20090252042 | Low Power Multiple Channel Mixing Architecture For Detecting Wake-Up Signals and Related Falsing Protection Algorithm - A low power multiple channel receiver mixing architecture for detecting wake-up signals over multiple communication channles in sniff processing performed in an implantable medical device (IMD). The architecture includes a direct conversion real receiver configured to scan a selected center channel and a Weaver receiver configured in parallel to the direct conversion real receiver to simultaneously scan side channels, together simultaneously detecting whether a wake-up signal is being received over the center and side channels with minimal power consumption. The architecture further utilizes a falsing protection algorithm that reduces power consumption during sniff operations by inhibiting the sniffing of channels likely to provide a false indication of a wake-up signal based the presence of unwanted signals on those channels. The falsing protection algorithm restricts those channels from sniff processing likely to provide a false indication of a wake-up signal, such that sniff processing can aborted, prevented, limited or otherwise altered to conserve power consumption. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090291656 | Method and Apparatus for the Phased Detection of a Signal Including a Frequency Deviation Detection Phase - A plurality of phases of sniff operations are performed for detecting wake-up signals being received by an implantable medical device (IMD), including a phase that performs a staged detection of whether the integrated frequency deviation of a received signal is outside of an expected frequency deviation range, where sniff operations are aborted if the integrated frequency deviation of the received signal falls outside of corresponding high and low thresholds in any stage, wherein the difference between the high and low thresholds tightens with each subsequent stage and an average frequency deviation over all completed stages are used in the calculations. One phase of sniff operations includes a dual frequency modulation (FM) detector including a first FM detector that introduces a small delay in a received signal providing an average frequency estimate and a second FM detector having a larger delay that is adjusted based on the estimated average frequency. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090323865 | Method and Apparatus for Low Power Simultaneous Frequency, Automatic Gain Control and Timing Acquisition in Radio Receivers - A method and apparatus are provided for low power simultaneous frequency, automatic gain control and timing acquisition in a low power radio receiver. A baseband signal received is split into a limited signal having limited data and a non-limited signal. The limited signal is fed through a limited phase-shift keying (PSK) correlation path in which a PSK correlator operating on the limited signal simultaneously determines coarse frequency estimations, timing estimations, and packet synchronization detection. The non-limited signal is fed through an automatic gain control path where automatic gain control is performed on the non-limited signal simultaneously with the coarse frequency and timing estimations and packet synchronization detection performed by the PSK correlator. By operating the PSK correlator on limited data from the received baseband signal and through a separate path from the automatic gain control, substantial power savings are achieved without degrading performance since the preamble time is significantly reduced. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20080267372 | Method and apparatus for phone tracking with deferred remote billing - A method of accounting for activities in a system comprising a telephone handset, including associating use of the telephone handset with a user, allowing the user to perform a call through use of the telephone handset without providing billing information relating to the call, communicating unbilled call information to at least one user computer associated with the user through a network, and prompting the user to input billing data relating to the unbilled call information at the at least one computer associated with the user. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090174899 | Method and Apparatus for Asynchronous Print Analysis - The disclosed print tracking software takes the process of asynchronous print analysis currently available in the prior art in which the final print tracking events, such as billing and enforcement, occur in a nonlinear, non-sequential or non-temporal fashion, and expands on this model by achieving similar non-linearity at the front-end analysis phase by re-arranging the timing in which the printing and print analysis takes place within the print software. A print stream extraction component places print stream data from a print job in a known cache location. The print job continues to a printer while independently a software monitor component checks for new cache data and if new cache data is found, invokes an analyzer component which writes print related statistics to a data store for subsequent billing and reporting purposes. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100049569 | System and Method for Quantity and Timed Limited Asynchronous Cost Recovery - An asynchronous two-dimensional limiting cost recovery system includes an expense activity sent from a client computer to a server computer. The extracted data is sent to a central message queue, where the client computer reads the data and graphically notifies the user of unbilled expense activity. An administrator defines a quota which determines how many unbilled expense activities can exist for a given user before a mandatory billing interface is displayed regardless of how much time it took to complete those activities, or defines a maximum time duration which determines how much time a user is given before a mandatory billing interface is displayed regardless of how many expense activities were completed, or both, whichever occurs first. A “snooze” option works in conjunction with the quota and maximum time duration limitations. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20090121490 | Oscillating-Wing Power Generator with Flow-Induced Pitch-Plunge Phasing - A new method for converting the kinetic energy of wind or water flows into electric energy, comprising wings or sails which are mounted on swing arms or on guide rails in such a way that the air or water flow induces an oscillatory wing or sail motion with a phase angle between the wing's or sail's pitch and plunge motion of about ninety degrees. Stroke reversal of the oscillatory motion is initiated by a purely aerodynamic/hydrodynamic mechanism such that the air or water flow induces a pitching moment on the wing or sail which rotates the wing or sail and thereby reverses the lift acting on the wing or sail. | 05-14-2009 |
