Abstract:
A hybrid network includes telephone and non-telephone network media. The communication devices communicate along the hybrid network according to a media access plan. The non-telephone communication devices do not have collision detection although the telephone communication devices do. The non-telephone communication devices have higher power and sensitivity levels than the telephone communication devices. In some embodiments, the media access plan includes a registration timeslot for the non-telephone communication devices.
Abstract:
A pole system comprises a shaft that includes tracks for mounting luminaires, street signs, bicycle racks, decorative signage, banners, traffic signals, pedestrian signals, or other items. In one embodiment, a pole system includes a shaft with two or more vertical tracks. Each track may have a dovetail shape and may be configured to receive mounting nuts for mounting items to the shaft. One or more vertical raceways separate from a center opening of the shaft may also be present.
Abstract:
A multi-stage differential amplifier with rail-to-rail input may utilize an output stage including first and second low-voltage rated transistors and first and second high-voltage transistors. The first low-voltage rated transistor and the first high-voltage rated transistor may be connected in series, and the second low-voltage rated transistor and the second high-voltage rated transistor may be connected in parallel. The low-voltage rated transistors are biased by signals provided by the input stage. In this way, the input stage controls the biasing of the low-voltage rated transistors in the output stage, thereby increasing the overall gain and speed of the amplifier system.
Abstract:

Abstract:
An imaging member adjustment system for an imaging module includes an imaging field opposing the imaging module and positioning targets provided in connection with the imaging field. The imaging module includes an optical source generating an optical path, an imaging member responsive to input from the optical source, and a lens interposed between the imaging member and imaging field. At least one adjustment mechanism is operatively connected to the imaging member for adjusting the imaging member with respect to the imaging field. A controller operatively communicates with the imaging member and the at least one adjustment mechanism. In operation, the positioning targets interrupt the optical path and provide positioning information to the controller. In turn, the controller signals the at least one adjustment mechanism to adjust the imaging member in any of horizontal and vertical direction to optimize focus and alignment of the imaging member with respect to the imaging field.
Abstract:
Analog HPNA hub including at least one group of coils, the coils inducing HPNA signals there between, a plurality of filters, each of the filters coupled with a respective one of the coils and further coupled, via respective telephone wiring, with at least a respective HPNA node, wherein each of the filters enables transmission of HPNA data signals there through, and wherein each of the filters prevents transmission of conventional telephony signals there through.
Abstract:
A gamma reference voltage generator (10B) for an LCD display includes a control interface logic circuit (48) having an output bus coupled to inputs of a first register (46) having outputs coupled to inputs of a second register (42) the outputs of which are coupled to corresponding inputs of plurality of DACs (28). The control interface logic circuit receives gray scale codes representative of gamma reference voltages and transfers the codes via the output bus into the first register and controls further transfer of the codes to inputs of the DACs to instantaneously or rapidly update gamma correction voltages applied to the LCD display.
