Title: Secure home delivery system
Inventor: HOLDING ANDREW CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2000-07-06
Granted: 2004-02-11
Abstract: Secure Home Delivery SystemA system for providing secure delivery or collection of goods too large to be delivered through traditional apertures such as the letterbox, to a location, such as a home, where the goods have previously been remotely ordered using remote means such as the internet or telephone. Access to a secure location, for example, a dedicated receptacle, garage or shed, is achieved by presentation of an access code by the delivery personnel, the origin of which is linked to the order of the goods. The access code may be computed using time-based algorithms that are replicated by the lock at the delivery location, unlocking occurring when the access codes coincide. The lock can provide access to a key safe, which in turns holds keys to a secure location. The system could equally be used for the collection of goods and for providing access to utility meters.

Title: Image trap filter
Inventor: IMBORNONE JAMES
IPC: H03D7/18
Filed: 2001-03-12
Granted: 2004-07-21
Abstract: An image trap filter used in a radio frequency receiver for filtering an image signal from a radio frequency signal. The image trap filter includes an inductor and a capacitor connected in series in a first branch with the first branch connected in parallel with an impedance in a second branch. For low-side injection of the local oscillator signal (i.e., the frequency of the local oscillator signal is lower than the radio frequency signal), the impedance in the second branch is a capacitor and the series-connected inductor and capacitor in the first branch resonate at the frequency of the image signal and present a low impedance at the frequency of the image signal and a somewhat higher inductive impedance at the frequency of the radio frequency signal that resonates with the capacitor in the second branch at the frequency of the radio signal. For high-side injection of the local oscillator signal (i.e., the frequency of the local oscillator signal is higher than the frequency of the radio frequency signal), the impedance in the second branch is an inductor and the series-connected inductor and capacitor in the first branch resonate at the frequency of the image signal and present a low impedance at the frequency of the image signal and a somewhat higher capacitive impedance at the frequency of the radio frequency signal that resonates with the inductor in the second branch at the frequency of the radio signal.

Title: Optical transmission system
Inventor: FUJIWARA HARUO
IPC: H04B17/40
Filed: 2002-02-14
Granted: 2004-11-24
Abstract: An optical transmission system capable of monitoring the operating status of Raman-amplifier repeaters even when an optical transmission line is partly disrupted by a fiber failure. An end station sends a monitoring command signal to request a particular repeater to report its operating status, together with a response carrier wave for use in that reporting. With their different wavelengths, an upstream wavelength selector in the repeater selectively passes the monitoring command signal while reflecting back the response carrier wave. Responsive to the command, a monitoring controller creates a response message containing operating status information. An excitation unit performs Raman amplification with a pump beam modulated by a modulation controller, so that the response message be superimposed on the response carrier wave propagating on the upstream link. The resulting monitoring response signal is routed from the upstream wavelength selector to a downstream optical coupler and sent back to the requesting end station.

Abstract: A remote terminal emulator (RTE) is provided in which substantially all of the time elapsing during an emulated use of a computer system under test is categorized and reported. The time required by the computer system under test to respond to command signals transmitted by the RTE is recorded as a receive time and is measured from completion of the transmission of the command signals to recognition of a pattern specified by the RTE as signifying completion of the response by the computer system under test. As a result the receive time recorded reflects the time required by the computer system under test to (a) process and carry out the command transmitted by the RTE and (b) transmit response data back to the RTE. The RTE accurately measures and reports the measured user think time to provide important information regard the authenticity of the emulated use, when compared to actual user think times measured during actual use of the computer system under test by actual users, and the relative importance of the processing capacity of the computer system under test. The time during which the RTE processes information, causing emulation of use of the computer system under test to be suspended, is accurately measured as application processing time and is reported to the user of the RTE. Substantially all of the time elapsing during the emulated use of the computer system under test is reported to the user of the RTE to provide the user of the RTE more complete and revealing information regarding the performance of the computer system under test.
