| 20090003372 | INGRESS NOISE REDUCTION IN A DIGITAL RECEIVER - The invention provides a device for reducing ingress noise in a digital signal, comprising a noise predictor for predicting an amount of ingress noise in the digital signal based on past samples of the ingress noise, and a subtractor for subtracting the predicted amount of ingress noise from the digital signal. Channel distortion is compensated for by a noise-independent equalizer, such as a ZF equalizer, placed upstream of the noise predictor. The device may be incorporated, for example, in a cable modem termination system (CMTS) of an hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) network. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090185647 | PRECISE FREQUENCY ESTIMATION OF SHORT DATA BURSTS - The invention performs frequency estimation over both the burst preamble, during which known symbols are transmitted, and also during the burst's data packet, which is subsequent to the preamble and extracted by the local detector. During the preamble, an initial frequency estimate is obtained. This estimate is based on a time average of either phase or correlation samples. Atypical phase or correlation samples, attributable to detector symbol errors during the data packet, are detected and filtered, so as to avoid including the atypical samples in a time-averages used to provide the frequency estimate. In a first embodiment correlation samples are time averaged, and atypical correlation samples are suppressed prior to correlation time averaging. In a second embodiment, phase slope values are time averaged, and atypical values of phase slope are suppressed prior to phase slope time averaging. | 07-23-2009 |

| 20090274121 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY MONITORING IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - A method and apparatus are provided for radio access technology (RAT) monitoring, in a wireless system environment having wireless communications equipment and at least two different RATs that coexist for providing to the equipment access to one or more communications networks. The equipment has at least two subsystems, each adapted for establishing and maintaining an active communications connection with a certain one of the different RATs. The equipment selects at least a first RAT, among all the RATs available in a certain geographical area, for establishing the active communications connection, according to a monitored characteristic of the first RAT. The method includes scanning a characteristic of a second RAT available for communication in the geographical area while the equipment maintains an active communications connection with the first RAT, and performing the scanning step when the equipment does not transmit signals through the active communications connection maintained with the first RAT. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20100207596 | Power-up Control for Very Low-Power Systems - An input protection circuit (IPC) may prevent an input signal from propagating into a system, such as an integrated circuit (IC), when the voltage level of the input signal exceeds a specified value. The IPC may be configured to compare the input signal voltage, which may be that of an external input signal received by the system, with a reference voltage, which may be the power supply voltage. If the input signal voltage exceeds the reference voltage, the output of the IPC may be set to the value of a specified clamp voltage. If the input signal voltage does not exceed the reference voltage, the output of the IPC may track (or follow) the input signal voltage. For certain integrated circuits, the IPC may be configured to provide circuit protection for an input signal voltage ranging between 0V to 5V, and a power supply voltage ranging between 3.0V and 3.6V. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20120037330 | Method and Apparatus for Manufacturing Titanium Alloys - A system and method for producing a metallic ingot using, for example, a VAR furnace, includes a primary crucible receiving a melted metal from a source of metal and collecting the melted metal to for a pool of melted metal, the primary crucible including an overflow lip, a secondary crucible receiving the melted metal from the overflow lip of the primary crucible, the secondary crucible being smaller than and electrically isolated from the primary crucible, and a withdrawal device withdrawing the molten metal, solidified by cooling, from the secondary crucible in the form of solidified ingots, wherein the solidified ingots have a smaller diameter than a diameter of the source of metal. A cutting device periodically cuts the withdrawn solidified ingots as they are withdrawn from the secondary crucible. | 02-16-2012 |

| 20090296570 | AUTOMATIC SEMI-CROSS CABLE AND SCRAMBLER RESOLUTION MECHANISM FOR 1000BASE-T MASTER/SLAVE DEVICE - A novel mechanism for 1000BASE-T network adapters to detect and resolve connections for cables that are either fully aligned, fully crossed or semi-crossed. The mechanism is applicable to adapters in either master or slave modes, and operates with cables that either have channels A and B aligned with channels C and D crossed or channels A and B crossed and channels C and D aligned. Cables of different configurations can be switched at any time without impacting network operation. In addition, a mechanism for 1000BASE-T adapters to support multiple scrambling methods between the adapter and its link partner is described. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20110016841 | ALTERNATE TWIST PLY YARN WITH LOW RESIDUAL TWIST - ATP yarns having high twist efficiency (low residual twist) as well as methods for increasing the self plying action that occurs in ATP yarn processing. The self plying action and the ATP yarn structure may be improved by increasing the convergence angle of the singles twist yarns to above 50 degrees (compared to current values of 0 to 35 degrees). The increased convergence angle permits an increase in the ply twist above the level possible by self plying alone. This results in a yarn with reduced residual singles twist. An array of singles torque jets and an optional ply torque jet has been developed to achieve a high convergence angle. The angle between the singles torque jet axes can be varied from 0 to 180 degrees. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110083870 | Combination of Impact Tool And Shaped Relatively Lower Modulus Material - An impacting tool, such as a jackhammer or electric hammer is proposed to be modified by a high modulus polymeric material, or metal of lower relative modulus than surrounding metal such as that of a piston. An interchangeable tool head is proposed to have inserted in a cavity in the impacted end such a high modulus polymeric material. Thus the term relatively lower modulus inclusion (“RLMI”) has been selected for the descriptive term. By using such relatively lower modulus material for an inclusion, which inclusion can be an insert, and modification of the piston or ram or impacting end of the tool, and additionally, if desired, the stop end of the piston or ram, the invention enables reduction of noise and vibration without substantially diminishing impact effectiveness and working time. Additionally, the working end of a cutting or impacting tool can be modified to a sharper angle because of diminished force through such relatively lower modulus inclusion. The edge angle, of for instance a chisel, may be modified to take advantage of mechanical changes resulting from the relatively lower modulus inclusion. | 04-14-2011 |
