The egress network receives the packetized voice signal, converts the packetized voice signal into an output voice signal, and outputs the output voice signal. The egress network also extracts and stores noise packets from the received packetized voice signal and converts the packetized noise signal into an output noise signal. When the access network ceases to receive the input voice signal while the call is still ongoing, the access network instructs the egress network to continually output the output noise signal. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100150363 | Method for testing echo cancellers - The performance of an echo canceller is assessed using a) a test signal launched from originating test equipment and b) a simulated echo of the test signal launched from terminating test equipment. The launch of the simulated echo signal is timed in such a way that it arrives at the tandem echo canceller(s) at a point in time relative to the arrival of the test signal thereat that the tandem echo canceller(s) is (are) not able to cancel the simulated echo signal. The latter thus arrives uncanceled at the target echo canceller. The launch of the simulated echo signal is further timed in such a way that it arrives at the target echo canceller at a point in time relative to the arrival of the test signal thereat that the target echo canceller IS able to cancel the simulated echo signal. As a result, any residual echo received at the originating test equipment is a measure of the performance of the target echo canceller exclusive of the performance of the tandem echo canceller(s). | 06-17-2010 |

| 20100293769 | LOW COST, HIGH DENSITY C-C COMPOSITES DENSIFIED BY CVD/CVI FOR AIRCRAFT FRICTION MATERIALS - Carbon-carbon composites made by needling together woven or nonwoven fabric made from carbon-containing fibers followed by carbonizing the fabric preforms. The carbon fiber preforms can be needled either in a carbonized or in an uncarbonized state. The un-carbonized fiber preforms would go through a carbonization/heat-treat step following the needling process. Final preform thickness and fiber volume is also controlled at carbonization, for instance by varying the level of pressure applied to the preforms during carbonization. Thus, the preforms may be unconstrained during carbonization (i.e., no pressure is applied to them). Or the preforms may be constrained during carbonization, typically by means of applying pressure (e.g., weight placed on top of the preforms). The preforms are then infiltrated via CVD/CVI processing in order to increase their density, resulting in a carbon-carbon composite which is suitable for use as, for instance, a brake disc or pad in aircraft and automotive brake systems. | 11-25-2010 |

The method includes: providing a fibrous nonwoven fabric segment comprised of OPAN fibers, the segment being produced from high basis weight fabric; providing a needler to needle layers of the fabric segments to one another; needling two layers of the fabric segments to one another and then needling sequential layers of the fabric segments on top of the layers thereof which have previously been needled together, to construct a brake disc or pad preform; carbonizing the fibrous preform to obtain a carbon-carbon preform; and infiltrating the resulting carbonized needled fibrous fabric preform via CVD/CVI processing in order to produce a carbon-carbon composite brake disc or pad which has a density of at least 1.70 grams per cubic centimeter. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110083305 | LOW COST, HIGH DENSITY AIRCRAFT FRICTION MATERIALS UTILIZING LOW FIBER VOLUME NONWOVEN PREFORMS WITH PITCH DENSIFICATION - Method of making a carbon-carbon composite brake disc or pad by: needling a plurality of layers of fibrous fabric segments to one another to form a brake disc or pad preform; carbonizing the fibrous preform to provide a carbon fiber brake disc or pad preform having a fiber volume fraction in the range 17% to 30% in the brake disc or pad preform; densifying the resulting carbonized needled fibrous fabric preform with pitch (isotropic or anisotropic) or with pitch and CVD/CVI; carbonizing the resulting pitch-infiltrated carbon fiber disk to carbonize the pitch therein; heat-treating the resulting pitch-densified carbon brake disc or pad; and subjecting the carbon brake disc or pad to a final cycle of CVD/CVI processing in order to produce a carbon-carbon composite brake disc or pad having a density of at least 1.70 g/cc and having a uniform through-thickness density. Benefits over conventional processing are obtained by increasing the needling rate used to manufacture the preform and reducing the amount of fiber used in the preform. In addition, the use of pitch in combination with CVI/CVD to densify the carbon fiber preform enables higher final densities to be achieved. This carbon-carbon composite manufacturing method also benefits from lowered manufacturing cycle time. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20080261663 | Methods and arrangements for adaptively changing snoozing intervals of wireless devices - Methods and arrangements for wireless communications are described. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to adaptively change a snoozing interval of a station. The embodiments may also include determining a timeout (TO) period for a station, examining network traffic of the station after a period of network traffic inactivity not less than the TO period, and determining a snoozing interval, the length of the snoozing interval based upon the examination of the network traffic. The embodiments may also include adjusting the length of the TO period. In some further embodiments, examining network traffic may include determining categories of network traffic. In other further embodiments, examining network traffic may include determining a size of a queue of network traffic for the station. The embodiments may also include redetermining a snoozing interval after returning to a normal power mode. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080320492 | APPARATUS AND METHODS USING INTELLIGENT WAKE MECHANISMS - An embodiment of the present invention provides a network interface card (NIC), comprising an intelligent wake mechanism and a device driver associated with the intelligent wake mechanism and configured to agree with embedded software on a set of wake codes and wake behaviors associated with the wake codes such that when the NIC encounters a wake event, the NIC first adds the wake code to a command queue, then it drives a PME pin to high to wake a device connected to the NIC. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090086660 | POWER SAVING OPERATION OF ALWAYS-CONNECTED WIRELESS ROAMING - Methods and apparatuses enable maintaining wireless connectivity while the wireless client device is in a power save mode. The system includes a host operating system (OS) that handles wireless connections while the device is executing in normal operation, and an embedded agent that handles the wireless connections when the device switches to power saving operation and the host OS switches to a sleep or standby state. The system detects a change in the power save mode and triggers an exchange of session context information between the host OS and the embedded agent (from the host OS to the embedded agent when the system enters the power save mode, and from the embedded agent to the host OS when the system returns to normal operation from the power save mode). The system also triggers the switching of management consistent with the passing of session context information. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20110275077 | Oligonucleotide-Coated Affinity Membranes and Uses Thereof - A method of analyzing tissue sections in a manner that provides information about the presence and expression levels of multiple biomarkers at each location within the tissue section. The method comprises the preparation of membranes having covalently bound oligonucleotides and the use of those membranes for evaluation of various markers in the sample. The membranes may be arranged in stacks, wherein each layer has a different oligonucleotide capture strand. Transfer oligonucleotides complementary to the capture strands are attached through a cleavable bond to antibodies that recognize and bind to specific biomarkers present in the tissue sample. The tissue sample is exposed to the antibody-transfer strand conjugate and then treated with a cleaving reagent. Upon cleavage, the transfer strand migrates through the stack and binds to the capture strand. The level of expression of the biomarker may be determined by measuring expression of a reporter on the transfer strand. | 11-10-2011 |
