摘要:
A cordless telephone network for wirelessly linking with a wireless phone. The cordless telephone network may include a plurality of wireless base stations, the base stations preferrably being disposed at customer premises such as private residences and/or businesses. A wireless phone linked to the cordless telephone network may roam between the wireless base stations and/or between the cordless telephone network and any other wireless network such as a conventional cellular phone network.

Termination equipment for a WorldNet™ wireless network receives packet data from a data terminal of a DirecTV™ Settop Box. This data is directed to a recipient through a router and transmitted by wireless or coax LAN to customer premises data equipment. Replies to the network by customer premises equipment are transmitted by wireless or coax LAN to the router to a CDPD radio modem for transmission, via CDPD, to a remote termination connected to the network.

A video enable answering machine having many new features including customized video announcement messages, caller ID based video announcement messages, and time based video announcement messages.
摘要:
A digital switch included within a satellite, processes uplink beams and the included traffic channels at a symbol level instead at a bit level. In this system the switch performs as a repeater on the per user basis and as a switch at the beam level. Individual user signals (i.e., channels) are separated from the uplink beam and recombined into the appropriate downlink beam.

To provide suitable QoS in a WLAN distributing voice, data and multimedia broadband in an end-to-end context, RF link errors are monitored in real time and applied as input to recovery and corrective procedures. The performance measures considered in normally evaluating a link QoS include throughput (bandwidth), delay, jitter and bit error rate (BER) but these alone do not properly evaluate a QoS for real-time services. In the exemplary embodiment, the frame error rate (FER) is compared with a threshold to define quality. If the error threshold is exceeded recovery procedures are instituted to restore the desired signal quality. The exemplary WLAN system has a capacity for providing isochronous services, such as broadband multimedia (including high speed video) and real-time toll quality voice service, and includes real time error detection and recovery procedures to maintain a desired individualized Quality of Service (QoS) appropriate for individual services.

An entry access system includes a locking mechanism enabling authorized entry at a secured entry point to a closed access area or computing device. Entry is approved in response to an interaction between an intended entrant and the entry access system that involves an interchange of multidigit numbers and use of ID and PINs for generation of a multidigit check number to establish authenticity of a request for entry.
摘要:
An antenna structure includes a plurality of vertical directed antennas mounted on an insulated cylindrical substrate. A parabolic reflecting antenna is mounted at one end of the cylindrical substrate cavity and a dielectric lens admits radiation through the cylindrical cavity to the parabolic reflector. Optical detectors are located on the cylindrical substrate periphery and exposed to optical signals through an InfraRed (IR) optical filter.
