    Abstract: A communication signal adapter is connected between a portable satellite signal receiver/decoder and a wireless local area network (LAN) transceiver to enable wireless communication between the portable satellite signal receiver/decoder and a wireless LAN. The adapter includes a modem interface adapter and a communications processor that converts information, such as callback data and viewer statistical data, developed by the satellite signal receiver/decoder in a proprietary format, to a data format that is suitable for transmission via the wireless LAN transceiver and then provides the converted data to the wireless LAN transceiver for communication to the LAN. The adapter also includes a microprocessor that controls text insertion control circuitry which is used to convert data signals, such as text messages, delivered from the wireless LAN into signals that are suitable for display on a television and which also inserts the converted text messages into a video signal developed by the portable satellite signal receiver/decoder for display on a standard television.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for quantizing a stream of data at a predetermined bit compression ratio. A binary decision tree is established for classifying the error between a predicted and actual data value. The binary decision tree comprising a root node and multiple binary nodes represented by a pair of threshold values around the root node, a member of each pair representing a node in the binary decision tree and a threshold value indicative of a range of data values. The range in which the data values lies is then determined and a binary code representing the quantized error (token) between the predicted and actual data values. The quantized error symbol (token) is then encoded and a bit string corresponding to the error symbol is output, thereby representing compressed data. After a predetermined number of errors have been quantized (and encoded), the bit rate of the compressed data is compared to a predetermined (target) compression ratio. The ranges used to quantize the error are then adjusted to maintain the predetermined compression ratio.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an encoding and decoding apparatus used for the compression and expansion of data. A state machine is provided having a plurality of states. Each state has at least one transition pair. Each element of the transition pair comprises zero or more bits representative of the compact code to be output and the identification of the next state to proceed to. The transition pair reflects an output for a yes and no response associated with the probability of the data to be compacted and whether the data falls within that probability.

    Abstract: A system and method for managing the nonvolatile memory capacity of individual workstations within a data processing network having a multiplicity of workstations with resident nonvolatile memory devices. In the context of the embodying network, the invention provides for a selective querying of workstations to determine unused disk capacity, a comparison of such capacity to a threshold defined for the respective workstation, and the generation of an event message indicating sub-threshold capacity. The event is subject to local or network logging, and can include information identifying the workstation and its disk capacity status. A refinement of the invention contemplates the reallocation of disk capacity within the network to avoid premature termination of programs executing on a workstation upon the finding of a sub-threshold capacity in the workstation.
