Title: Tagging packets with a lookup key to facilitate usage of a unified packet for forwarding cache
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2002-09-27
Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for a Network Address Translation (NAT)-aware unified cache. According to one embodiment, multiple packet-processing applications distributed among one or more processors of a network device share one or more unified caches without requiring a cache synchronization protocol. When a packet is received at the network device, a first packet-processing application, such as NAT or another application that modifies part of the packet header upon which a cache lookup key is based, tags the packet with a cache lookup key based upon the original contents of the packet header. Then, other packet-processing applications attempting to access the cache entry from the unified cache subsequent to the tagging by the first packet-processing application use the tag (the cache lookup key generated by the first packet-processing application) rather than determining the cache lookup key based upon the current contents of the packet header.

Title: Pulsed high loss loop back signalling scheme
IPC: H04B10/00
Filed: 2004-04-22
Abstract: An optical transmission system comprises two optical fibers carrying optical signal traffic between two terminals, and a plurality of optical repeaters coupled to the two fibers each repeater having a permanently connected passive high loss loop back circuit between the two fibers. One terminal includes a transmitter, which launches a pulsed supervisory signal on a dedicated supervisory wavelength into one optical fiber, and a receiver, which detects a portion of the supervisory signal looped back from each repeater in order to identify the existence and location of faults in the transmission system. The pulsed supervisory signal is of sufficiently short duration such that portions of the signal returned from each repeater do not overlap with one another and interference with the counter-propagating traffic is avoided by utilizing a dedicated supervisory wavelength. Each return pulse is integrated sequentially by a single detector and processed by heterodyne reception and synchronous demodulation.

Patent GB-0819397-D0 (GB)
Title: Data processing apparatus and method
Filed: 2008-10-22
Abstract: A data processor maps input data symbols to be communicated onto a predetermined number of sub-carrier signals of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbol. The data processor includes an interleaver memory which reads-in the predetermined number of data symbols for mapping onto the OFDM sub-carrier signals. The interleaver memory reads-out the data symbols on to the OFDM sub-carriers to effect the mapping, the read-out being in a different order than the read-in, the order being determined from a set of addresses, with the effect that the data symbols are interleaved on to the sub-carrier signals. The set of addresses are generated from an address generator which comprises a linear feedback shift register and a permutation circuit. A generator polynomial for the linear feedback shift register is     R  i  ¹    8   =   R   i  -  1   ¹    0      R   i  -  1   ¹    4   ,     and a permutation code is provided for permuting the order of the content of the register stages. The permutation code has been established by simulation analysis to optimise communication performance via typical radio channels. As such, a 1K operating is provided with an interleaver, which can interleave data symbols onto approximately one thousand sub-carriers of OFDM symbols for an OFDM modulated system such as a Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard such as DVB-Terrestria12 (DVB-T2) or DVB-Cable2.

Title: Frequency synthesiser
IPC: H03J5/02
Filed: 1986-06-11
Abstract: In a frequency synthesiser, the output from a local oscillator (LO) and that from a reference oscillator (RO) are fed to first and second inputs of a phase comparator (PC) via respective variable divider chains (D1, D2 and RD), the output from the phase comparator being fed back, via an amplifier (CPLA), to control the local oscillator frequency. The required frequency output is produced by a multiplexer (MUX) which selects signals from different stages of the divider chain (D1, D2) in the local oscillator signal path. The two divider chains and the multiplexer are controlled by a common control and decode circuit (SR, SRA, SRB, BD) in dependence on control data words (ID). <IMAGE>

Title: Opto-electronic rotary encoder
IPC: G01D5/38
Filed: 1995-11-02
Abstract: A rotary encoder has a scale 22 which rotates relative to a pair of readheads 14. Each of the readheads projects light onto the scale and generates at an analyser grating 40, a periodic light pattern, such as interference fringes.
