  • Patent number: 6733295
    Abstract: A learning system includes a teacher station and a plurality of student stations for holding learning sessions between a teacher and a plurality of students over a plurality of interactive communication channels. The teacher station selects an interactive communication channel to communicate with one of said plurality of student stations. As a result, the teacher to separately interacts with each of the plurality of students over a selected interactive communication channel.

  • Patent number: 6729885
    Abstract: A learning system has an instruction material controller configured to provide instructional material used for creating learning sessions. A teacher station and a plurality of student stations are used for holding learning sessions. The teacher station selects a learning session to be either an interactive learning session where a teacher interacts with the student on a shared basis or a non-interactive learning session where the student works independently of the teacher. According to one feature of the invention, at least one interactive learning session and at least one non-interactive learning session are created for the plurality of student workstations concurrently.

  • Patent number: 6717992
    Abstract: A method and system for receiving time spaced signals transmitted in accordance with a time layout is provided. The time spaced signals may be pulses or bursts. The time spaced signals convey at least one intelligence signal. The time spaced signals are received at an antenna. Once received, the time spaced signals may be coherently detected. Coherent detection may be accomplished by correlating the received signals with a template signal. The detection process can also include integration of the received signals. The coherently detected signals are then contributed to a plurality of intermediate signals based on an interleaving order, which may be predetermined or specified by an interleaving code. Each of the plurality of intermediate signals can then be separately integrated, for example, to produce bits of data. The bits of data are ordered to produce the at least one intelligence signal based on a bit order, which may be predetermined or specified by a bit ordering code.
