Abstract:
I/Q data skew in a QPSK modulator may be detected by sending identical or complementary data streams to I and Q channel PSK modulators, setting the relative carrier phase between I and Q to zero or π, and monitoring the average QPSK output power, where the data streams sent to the I and Q channels include streams of alternating ones and zeroes.
Abstract:
Digital timing error detection systems and techniques are described. The described techniques are independent of polarization and differential-group-delay and are used to perform timing recovery of polarization-multiplexed coherent optical systems.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for remotely updating security systems is provided. The method includes defining a messaging sequence exchange between a host system and a gateway. The gateway is in communication with a security system panel. The method further includes identifying an update for the security system panel and transmitting the update from the host system to the security system panel via the gateway using the messaging sequence exchange.

Abstract:
I/Q data skew in a QPSK modulator may be detected by sending identical or complementary data streams to I and Q channel PSK modulators, setting the relative carrier phase between I and Q to zero or π, and monitoring the average QPSK output power, where the data streams sent to the I and Q channels include pseudorandom streams of ones and zeroes.
Abstract:
A method for tracking one or more portable devices in real time to detect theft of the one or more portable devices is provided. The method enables, firstly, interrogating a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag via a RFID reader during successive sweep intervals. The sweep interval represents active state of the RFID reader. Secondly, the method enables receiving one or more pairing information from the RFID tag. Further, the method enables comparing the one or more pairing information with corresponding one or more pairing information stored in the RFID reader. Finally, the method enables generating an alert signal via the wearable-band or the one or more portable devices when the one or more pairing information does not match with the corresponding one or more pairing information stored in the RFID reader.
Abstract:
Techniques for performing time tracking in a communication system utilizing a cyclic prefix are described. In an aspect, a receiver may detect for large timing errors based on early and late received samples obtained with early and late FFT windows, respectively. The receiver may derive first and second channel impulse response (CIR) estimates based on the early and late received samples, respectively, determine an early channel energy based on the first CIR estimate, determine a late channel energy based on the second CIR estimate, compute an update amount based on the early and late channel energies, and update the FFT window position based on the update amount. In another aspect, the receiver may perform time tracking with an inner time tracking loop (TTL) and an outer TTL. The receiver may update the FFT window position in coarse steps with the outer TTL and in fine steps with the inner TTL.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a fire pit table apparatus includes a base having a ground contacting portion. The apparatus also includes a table assembly coupled to the base. The table assembly includes a table top for placement of one or more objects. The table top has an opening formed therein. The apparatus also includes a fire bowl assembly that is disposed within the opening of the table top such that the table top surrounds at least a portion of the fire bowl assembly and provides access to the fire bowl assembly. The fire bowl assembly includes a fire bowl and a hot top member that is disposed around the fire bowl. The hot top member includes a planar surface on which one or more objects can be placed, wherein the fire bowl and the hot top member are rotatably coupled to the table assembly to permit rotation of the fire bowl assembly relative to the table assembly.
