Filed:

Sep 15, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/396847

Inventors:

Michael J. Geile - Loveland OH
Jeffrey Brede - Eden Prairie MN

Thomas Smigelski - Lake Zurich IL

Assignee:

ADC Telecommunications, Inc. - Minnetonka MN

International Classification:

G01R 3128

US Classification:

714755, 370401

Abstract:

A method of staggering the arrival of frames of data at a head end in a communication system. The method includes receiving at a first service unit upstream telephony data is described. The telephony data includes a first payload message. The method includes receiving at a second service unit upstream telephony data, wherein the telephony data includes a second payload message. The method further includes formatting the first payload message at the first service unit as a first sequence of frames and formatting the second payload message at the second service unit as a second sequence of frames. In addition, the method includes transmitting the first sequence of frames on a first carrier so as to arrive at the head end at a first time and transmitting the second sequence of frames on a second carrier so as to arrive at the head end at a second time.

International Classification:

H04J 324

US Classification:

370349, 370474

Abstract:

A method of non-real-time two-way wireless data communications using a synchronous time division multiplexed architecture (TDMA) protocol in a communications system having a plurality of fixed base stations (BS) and a plurality of receiver/transmitters (RTs), wherein a BS controller dynamically changes a plurality of data blocks in both an uplink and a downlink data frame, a plurality of data rates, a plurality of signal modulation techniques, and a plurality of frequencies according to a computer analysis of received signals in order to provide optimization of the system. The method further includes overhead data reduction techniques using abbreviations for identification character strings and concatenations of downlink data messages. Embodiment of a novel emergency alarm resolution techniques and a plurality of message collision avoidance techniques improves response times for remote transmissions.

International Classification:

H04L012/28

US Classification:

370/386000, 370/208000

Abstract:

A method of computer data transmission over a telecommunications network having a head end connected to a plurality of service units is provided. The method includes receiving a request for transmitting computer data over the network from a service unit, retrieving provisioning information for the service unit, and selectively assigning one or more data channels based on the provisioning information to transmit the computer data over the network to provide a data path with substantially constant data transfer bandwidth between a head end and the service unit.

International Classification:

G06F 21/24

US Classification:

726 23

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for resisting malicious code in a computing device. A software component corresponding to an operating system kernel is analyzed prior to executing the software component to detect the presence of one or more specific instructions such as malicious code, a change in mode permissions or instructions to modify or turn off security monitoring software, and taking a graduated action in response to the detection of one or more specific instructions. The graduated action taken is specified by a security policy (or policies) stored on the computing device. The analyzing may include off-line scanning of a particular code or portion of code for certain instructions, op codes, or patterns, and includes scanning in real-time as the kernel or kernel module is loading while the code being scanned is not yet executing (i.e., it is not yet “on-line”). Analysis of other code proceeds according to policies.

International Classification:

A61L 2/10

US Classification:

422 24, 2504921

Abstract:

A system and method for disinfecting hard surfaces in an area such as a hospital room including a light source emitting UV light and a reflector mounted behind the light source for concentrating and directing the light toward a target. The light source and reflector rotate to direct the concentrated beam around a room, thereby making more efficient use of the energy being emitted.

International Classification:

H01L 21302
H01L 2126

US Classification:

148 15

Abstract:

An improved process for eliminating parasitic sidewall transistor action associated with LOCOS isolation oxide structures. A combined oxide-nitride-oxide mask provides a large implant window and an underlying smaller oxidation window which is recessed about 11/2 microns relative to the implant window. Implantation, followed by oxidation provides a recessed isolation oxide and a buried inversion-suppressing impurity layer which spans the length of the oxide, including the "bird's beak" region.
