Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for
transmitting real-time data in a multi-access system which
eliminates clipping of the data while reducing transmission
delays. The invention can be incorporated in any multi-access
system where transmission resources are allocated when there is
information to transmit. In a preferred embodiment, the
invention is incorporated in a multi-access wireless system for
the upstream transmission of voice from a mobile station to a
base station. Each speech segment received at the mobile is
shortened by appropriate editing and buffered until
transmission. By editing and buffering speech segments as they

Abstract: A method for "unsending" an electronic mail (email) message that has
not reached an intended recipient or has not been read by the recipient. When a
sender invokes an "unsend" function after sending a message, a duplicate message
is transmitted (32) with a detectable unsend tag in the message header. The unsend
tag, causes a server to check the authenticity (44) of the duplicate message and, if the
message is still in the server (48), to delete the original and duplicate messages (50).
If the original message has already passed through the server, the duplicate message with the "unsend" tag
is forwarded to the next server (52). If the message has reached one of its final
destinations, it may still be deleted (50') if not already deleted or read by the recipient.
Otherwise only the duplicate message is deleted (54) and the sender is advised that an "unsend" is not possible
for this recipient.

Abstract: A method and apparatus (102) for re-modulating an RF carrier
modulated signal using a Nyquist folding frequency modulation technique. The
method modulates a digitized RF carrier modulated signal with a digital
sequence of 1,-1,1,-1,..., where the center frequency of the RF carrier
modulated signal is at a first frequency and the sample rate of the modulating
signal is at a second frequency. When the second frequency is four times the
first frequency, the output of the digital modulation process is a spectrum-inverted
copy of the source RF carrier modulated signal. For all other
frequencies, the remodulated RF carrier modulated signal has a center
frequency equal to the carrier frequency minus one-half the sample rate of the
modulating signal. A spectrum inversion is then performed to recreate the
spectrum of the source RF carrier modulated signal, which is now located at a
different center frequency. The apparatus (102) comprises a modulating signal
source (112) and a digital modulator 108. A resampler 106 and a spectrum
inverter 110 may be used as needed.
