Title: Communication infrastructure and method to speed uplink data setup
Inventor: SMOLINSKE JEFFREY C
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-05-27
Granted: 2006-09-12
Abstract: To address the need for a communication infrastructure and method to speed uplink data setup, the present invention provides for the assignment of uplink packet data resources by basestation transceiver systems (BTSs) (106) without the need to communicate with any packet control unit (PCUs) (110) first. The present invention accomplishes this by reserving packet data resources before they are needed or requested and providing them to BTSs (106) for assignment. Thus, BTS-PCU communication occurs in the period before an uplink connection is needed and after uplink data is established, effectively eliminating the BTS-PCU delay from uplink data setup. Moreover, the present invention provides for the transmission of transmit allowance messages before an uplink request is made by the communication unit (102), further reducing uplink data setup time.

Granted: 2004-07-20
Abstract: An input signal DT contains a segment synchronization signal compliant with the ATSC standard. A clock multiplication section 111 multiplies a clock CK. A switchable sampling section 112 selects a sample point from among a plurality of timing points that are defined by the multiplied clock, and samples the input signal DT at the selected sample point. Moreover, the switchable sampling section 112 switches sample points from one to another in a synchronization-unestablished state. Once the segment synchronization is established, a synchronization detection device may maintain a synchronization-established state until the field synchronization detection fails, or the synchronization detection device may output a synchronization detection signal after shifting it in the time direction based on a bit error rate RT of the input signal.

Title: Method and apparatus for selecting maximally disjoint shortest paths in a network
Inventor: WONG VINCENT CHI CHIU
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 2003-01-30
Granted: 2009-08-18
Abstract: A method for selecting two maximally disjoint shortest paths between a source node and destination node in a network is provided. The method comprises determining a first explicit route between the source and destination nodes by using an original link cost for each link in the network, transforming the network by introducing conditional link coast, determining a second explicit route between the source and destination nodes in the transformed network taking into account the conditional link costs, and determining the two maximally disjoint shortest paths between the source and destination nodes by coalescing the first and second explicit routes. Beneficially, the step of introducing conditional link costs comprises adding additional parameters to links in the network and determining the conditional link costs depending on the position of each link relative to the first explicit route. Corresponding method for determining "N" maximally disjoint paths in a network, wherein "N" is equal or greater than two, is also provided.

Title: Electrical conduit junction box self-securing insert system
Inventor: DEFREITAS GLENNON L
IPC: H02G3/08
Filed: 2003-12-18
Granted: 2009-10-06
Abstract: The invention relates to an improved system for securing electrical conduit into a junction box. The invention provides a cylindrical insert that its into one of a plurality of tubular projections on the junction box. The insert is slightly longer than the tubular projection and has a diameter sized to slidably fit within the tubular projection. An outer flanged rim on one end of the insert prevents it sliding further into the tubular projection. A split flanged rim on the other end allows the other end to flex together to allow insertion of the insert into the tubular projection. A split inner rim operates in conjunction with a disposable end plug having a conical face that allows insertion of a corrugated electrical conduit to flex apart the other end when it protrudes from an inner end of the tubular projection. The split inner rim snaps into a groove between raised rings of the corrugated electrical conduit and secures it against withdrawal by a pulling force. Any such pulling causes the insert to move with its split flanged rim against the inner end of the tabular projection such that the inner split rim will not release the end of the corrugated electrical conduit.
