Abstract: There are disclosed systems and methods for inferring "holes" in wireless communication coverage areas. These holes are determined based on the user's view of coverage at various locations within geographical areas covered by a broadcast signal. In one embodiment, the wireless coverage area is a cellular network (600) and the holes are determined by actual cellular phone (50) usage within the network. Location and direction of travel data pertaining to a cellular phone's usage is stored and refined within the cellular phone (30) so as to define areas where the user selects to place calls or selects to terminate calls. The data stored within the mobile device is from time to time communicated (331) to the central wireless broadcast system (602). By collecting such data from a plurality of such devices, the central system can map coverage holes (71) from a user's perspective.

Abstract: Optical amplifier which can eliminate the need for an optical detection section before an external attenuating medium, can prevent SN degradation, and can reduce power required for pumping light. An attenuation amount detection section detects an amount of signal light attenuation caused by a variable optical attenuator and the external attenuating medium connected in series, by means of a front optical detection section provided before the variable optical attenuator and the external attenuating medium and a back optical detection section provided thereafter. An attenuation amount control section controls the variable optical attenuator such that the amount of signal light attenuation detected by the attenuation amount detection section is kept constant. A connection detection section detects a connection or disconnection of the external attenuating medium in accordance with the amount of signal light attenuation obtained when the amount of attenuation caused by the variable optical attenuator is minimized.

Abstract: A programmable logic integrated circuit device (10) has a plurality of regions (20) of programmable logic disposed on the device in a plurality of intersecting rows and columns of such regions. Interconnection resources (e.g., interconnection conductors, signal buffers/drivers, programmable connectors, etc.) are provided on the device for making programmable interconnections to, from and/or between the regions. At least some of these interconnection resources are provided in two forms that are architecturally similar (e.g., with similar and substantially parallel routing) but that have significantly different signal propagation speed characteristics. For example, a major or larger portion of such dual-form interconnection resources (200a, 210a, 230a) may have what may be termed normal signal speed, while a smaller minor portion (200b, 210b, 230b) may have significantly faster signal speed. Secondary (e.g., clock and clear) signal distribution may also be enhanced, and so may be input/output circuitry and cascade connections between adjacent or nearby logic modules on the device.

Abstract: A DRM receiver has a pre-FFT time synchroniser (28), located prior to the FFT circuit (18), which is used to synchronise the receiver to the incoming symbols to a reasonable level of accuracy, before handing over to a post-FFT time synchroniser (30). The post-FFT synchroniser generates an estimated channel impulse response (72,74), squares the estimated channel impulse response to provide an estimated power channel impulse response, combines (76) the estimated power channel impulse response with a weighting function to generate a signal which is a measure of the damage done to the signal response as a function of window position, the side portions of the weighting function being substantially of quadratic form, and locates (78) a minimum in the resultant waveform, to provide a synchronisation signal.

Abstract: In an optical receiver according to the present invention, an input signal light subjected to the differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) is incident on a PANDA type fiber in a linearly polarized state by 45°, so that a delay time difference corresponding to one symbol is generated between orthogonal polarization components in the DQPSK signal light, and then, the signal light is branched by a half mirror into two, to be sent to first and second paths respectively, thereby giving, by a 1/4 wave plate disposed on one of the paths, a relative birefringent amount difference of π/2 between the lights propagated through the respective paths. Then, each of the lights propagated through the first and second paths is separated into two orthogonal polarization components by a polarization beam splitter, and the respective polarization components are received by a differential reception circuit so that in-phase components and quadrature components in the DQPSK signal are demodulated. Thus, a small sized and low cost optical receiver capable of stably demodulating the DQPSK signal is provided.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device and method for detecting telephone number information from DMB in a DMB receiving terminal. If DMB data is received, the present invention scans I-frame data from among the received DMB data, and detects an ROI from the scanned data. If the ROI is detected, the present invention binarizes the detected ROI, and extracts a numeral region from the correspondent ROI while passing through processes of removing a non-text region from the binarized ROI and partitioning a character string region and characters of the correspondent ROI. Blobs extracted from the extracted numeral region are recognized as numerals, combines telephone numbers using the recognized numerals, stores and outputs them. A user can obtain a telephone number broadcasted in the DMB without changing a general DMB data transmission/reception process, and receive services provided according thereto.
