摘要:
A method and apparatus for encoding a bit sequence as a symbol, suitable for transmission over POTS wiring, are described. The symbol has a duration indicative of the bit sequence, this time duration be determined by first and second delimiters. The method commences upon the receipt of a bit sequence at an encoder. Thereafter, a symbol, having a duration indicative of the bit sequence, is identified. The symbol is characterized in that it includes a buffer portion and an encoding portion. The buffer portion is of sufficient duration to allow reflections, generated by propagation of the first delimiter of the symbol on the POTS wiring, to decay to a predetermined level before propagation of the second delimiter.

A method and apparatus for decoding a symbol, having a time duration indicative of a bit sequence and determined by first and second delimiters being with the detection of the first delimiter of the symbol on a carrier medium. A predetermined blanking interval is measured following detection of this first delimiter. Detection of the second delimiter on the carrier medium is prevented prior to expiration of the predetermined blanking interval. This is to prevent the detection of reflections resulting from the propagation of the first delimiter over the carrier medium, and the incorrect identification of such reflections as the second delimiter of the symbol. The valid second delimiter of the symbol is then detected on a carrier medium subsequent to expiration of the predetermined blanking interval. A symbol, indicative of the bit sequence, is identified from a group of symbols based on the time duration between the respective detections of the first and second delimiters.
摘要:
A method of transmitting information over POTS wiring includes transmitting a first delimiter signal, in the form of a multi-cycle waveform having a frequency of approximately 7.5 MHz, over the POTS wiring. A second delimiter signal, also comprising a multi-cycle waveform, is then later propagated over the POTS wiring. The time duration between the respective propagations of the first and second delimiter signals defines a symbol, which encodes information. The time duration is also such that reflections on the carrier medium resulting from the propagation of the first delimiter signal decay to a predetermined level prior to propagation of the second delimiter signal.

A conductive shield for surrounding a high efficiency light bulb such as a spiral fluorescent bulb is described. A conductive curtain having apertures through which light may pass is connected to the threaded grounded base of the bulb. The apertures in the curtain present high impedance to stray electrical energy (SEE) from the bulb thereby reducing SEE.

A voltage compensation circuit is coupled to a conventional milking system so that when a milk stream flows from a cow to a milk pipeline, a voltage compensation circuit makes contact with the milk stream. As a result, due to the voltage compensation circuit's output voltage, a current that might be generated by the electric potential difference between the cow and the milk pipeline is prevented from flowing within the milk stream. Accordingly, electric shocks to the cow are effectively prevented.

A receiver for a LAN which uses a transformer for isolation. Base line wander is prevented by use of a positive feedback path which provides a signal that compensates for low frequency loss through the transformer. The feedback path connects the output of the receiver to the secondary winding of the transformer. The time constant of the transformer and terminating resistor L/R equals the RC time constant in the feedback path.

An apparatus for monitoring and testing a twisted pair, particularly useful for an Ethernet network. First and second DC currents alternated with one another are applied to both ends of the line, asynchronously. By monitoring the potential on the line, a determination is made as to the condition of the line. For example, shorted, crossed, improperly terminated or open conditions can be detected. A visual indication of the condition of the line is provided and additionally, the visual indication provides an indication of the traffic level in the network.

An improved architecture for a computerized branch exchange particularly for a time division multiplexed bus used in the exchange. An intershelf bus includes a unidirectional source bus which receives signals from expanders and a unidirectional destination bus which transmits signals to the expanders. The expanders, through another bus, communicate with line cards which interface with telephone station sets, commercial lines, etc. A time division multiplexed controller updates distributed connection tables contained in each of the expanders and controls the flow of data onto and from the unidirectional buses. The distributed connection tables eliminate the need to broadcast addresses during each time slot. The arrangement is particularly useful in reducing blocking associated with prior art bidirectional buses.
