Patent CA-2350901-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KHUC MINH DUY
IPC: H04M15/00
Filed: 2001-06-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for providing pre-pay and post-pay calls. A switching system receives the call where the switching system is class 4 or class 5. The switching system extends the call toward an integrated service platform. The switching system then receives the call destination number and the call validation parameter. The switching system releases the call extension to the integrated service platform and extends the call using the call destination number if the call validation parameter allows the call. The switching system monitors a duration of the call and terminates the call if the duration meets or exceeds an amount indicated by the call validation parameter. One advantage for post- pay calls is the provision of post-pay calls service such as messaging and validation is centralized in the integrated service platform, which reduces the time and cost of maintaining the post-pay service.
Patent CA-2357191-A1 (CA)
Title: Dc restoration circuit for a radio receiver
Inventor: BEAUDIN ANDRE
IPC: H04L25/06
Filed: 2001-09-07
Abstract: This invention relates to communications (radio) receiver circuitry and, in particular, to circuitry for eliminating a varying DC distortion component of a demodulated received information signal such as comprising data packets. This invention uses an adaptive filter, and a corresponding adaptive (equalization) feedback signal, to remove a slow varying (exponential) DC component of the signal. In the decoding circuitry of a receiver the adaptive filter (e.g. an LMS filter) compares the outputs of an integrate and dump component to adapted outputs of a decision component in order to produce an error signal which inherently corresponds to the varying DC component of the symbol stream. This equalizing adaptive error signal is fed back and subtracted from the symbol integral stream to remove the varying DC component therefrom and thereby restore the information packet to a level DC bias condition.

Title: Optical interleavers/deinterleavers
Inventor: TAI KUOCHOU
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2001-10-22
Abstract: Interleaver/deinterleaver apparatuses for combining/separating optical channels are described. When operating as a deinterleaver, the interleaver/deinterleaver separates an optical signal (e.g. WDM signal) into subsets of optical signals (e.g. channels). In one embodiment, deinterleaving optical signals separates an optical signal into even and odd International Telecommunications Union (ITU) channels. The interleaver/deinterleavers may include isolator components to route optical signals to and from input/output ports. A variety of reflective elements, e.g. quarter wave mirrors, reflective prisms, etalons, can be used for double passing the signals through a birefringent crystal assembly.

Title: Method and apparatus for the correction of optical signal wave front distortion within a free-space optical communication system
Inventor: TYSON JOHN ANTHONY
IPC: H04B10/118
Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: A free space optical communication system is disclosed whereby the optics of a transmit telescope are manipulated using adaptive optics to precompensate for wave front distortion of a light beam transmitted by a transmit telescope. Wave front distortion is manifested at the receive telescope as a change in at least one characteristic of the image of the received signal such as, for example, a reduction in the amplitude of the received signal. A mirror of the transmit telescope is deformed in such a way as to reduce the wave front distortion and correspondingly increase the resulting amplitude of the received signal.
