Abstract: Electronic devices, and methods, for
transmitting, transferring and/or conveying a multi-bit
digital signal as a voltage signal via a single pin.
Devices and methods according to the invention
substantially reduce the pin count of a device because
inputting of a multi-bit digital signal preferably does
not use more than one input pin. In addition, the
speed of transmission is improved because the multi-bit
digital signal is transmitted as a voltage signal
substantially at one time as opposed to serially.

Patent EP-1339245-A1 (EP)
Inventor: YUN LOUIS C
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 1997-12-30
Abstract: The methods for channel assignment and channel reassignment are suitable for
SDMA systems that accommodate the dynamically adaptive spatial channel conditions and
allow for more frequent reuse of conventional channels. Three methods for uplink channel
assignment are described: a cost function method, a predictive method, and a hierarchical
method. The cost function method computes a cost function for each conventional channel
based on a weighted correlation matrix of spatial signatures (vectors) of active subscribers.
A spatial channel is created for the selected conventional channel if it is in use. The
predictive channel assignment method predicts the uplink received power and interference-plus-noise
for each conventional channel. Either the conventional channel with the
minimum interference-plus-noise level or the channel with the maximal SINR is selected
and a spatial channel is also assigned if the selected channel is in use. The hierarchical
method combines the cost function method and the cost function method. The downlink
channel assignment method, when not constrained by the uplink channel assignment,
assigns a conventional channel to a new connection by estimating the downlink
interference-plus-noise level from a subscriber report, spatial signature and weight vector,
and computing a predicted downlink received signal level. 
     Three methods for call admission control include: a cost function method, a
predictive method, and a load based channel assignment method.

Abstract: A distributed cable modem termination system (CMTS) in a hybrid
fiber/coaxial (HFC) plant. The distributed CMTS comprises a network layer, at
least one media access control layer, and at least one physical layer. The media
access control layer implements a media access control chip. The media access
control chip interfaces with the physical layer to provide timing to maintain
components within the physical layer. The network layer, media access control
layer, and physical layer each function as separate modules. The media access
control chip provides the packet level media access control functions, and thus,
does not require packet level media access control functions to be implemented
in the same physical location. The media access control chip also provides a
timing offset feature for handling time delays between the media access layer and
the physical layer. This enables the network layer, the media access control layer,
and the physical layer to each be in separate component locations of the HFC
plant, yet physically connected throughout the HFC plant.

Abstract: The present invention modifies a reproduction of a music file for adapting a
reproduction of the audio data contained in the music file to the characteristic of a small
size loudspeaker on a mobile terminal of a wireless communication system so that the
audibility of the respective music or polyphonic sound contained in the music file is
improved. Hereto, audio data which represent a sound with a spectral component below
the transmission frequency range of the loudspeaker are identified in the music file, and
the reproduction of sound from the identified audio data is modified such, that the
modified reproduction yields a sound spectrum having an increased energy content
within the transmission frequency range of the loudspeaker as compared to sound
obtained by an unmodified reproduction.
