20130243052 | Interference Control in a Broadband Powerline Communication System - A broadband powerline communication system is disclosed which makes use of knowledge of the spectrum characteristics of a local radio environment in order to improve the performance of the system. A determination is made of the spectrum characteristics of a radio environment in the vicinity of the broadband powerline communication system that is transmitting data on modulated carrier frequencies. Certain ones of the carrier frequencies otherwise used by the broadband powerline communication system may be masked (i.e., not used) by all or part of the broadband powerline system in order to avoid interference based on the determination. The spectrum characteristics may be determined 1) in advance and used to compile a configuration database comprising frequency masking parameters; 2) by monitoring the local radio environment using the transmitter/receiver nodes of the system; or 3) based upon receipt of an indication from a conflicting user that the user is experiencing interference. Various combinations of these spectrum characteristic determination techniques may also be used. | 09-19-2013 |

20100283496 | TRANSMISSION-MODULATED PHOTOCONDUCTIVE DECAY MEASUREMENT SYSTEM - A system and method for measuring recombination lifetime of a photoconductor or semiconductor material in real time and without physically contacting the material involving positioning the sample material between a transmitter and a receiver so that electromagnetic signals, preferably radio frequency signals, traveling from the transmitter to the receiver pass through the sample material. The electromagnetic signals are modulated as they pass through the sample material depending on the carrier density and conductivity of the sample material. The modulated electromagnetic signals received by the receiver are then analyzed to determine the carrier recombination lifetime of the sample material. | 11-11-2010 |

20140207812 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR COLLECTING ELECTRONICALLY STORED INFORMATION - Methods and apparatus for collecting electronically stored information are disclosed. In general, a processor images an electronic device to collect metadata associated with a plurality of files stored on the electronic device. For example, the metadata may include file names, file sizes dates, etc. The processor then receives selection information associated with the metadata, the selection information being indicative of a subset of the plurality of files. The processor then installs an electronically stored information (ESI) collection application (e.g., remotely via a network and/or via a thumb drive exclusively in RAM) in the first electronic device (e.g., a device running one of several different operating systems) in response to a selection of a collection initiation trigger (e.g., selection of a hyperlink or virtual button). The processor then collects the ESI. For example, the processor may collect the ESI from a hard disk or solid state drive using a collection wizard user interface. The processor then receives the subset of the plurality of files. | 07-24-2014 |
