Patent number: 5917896Abstract: A method of and system for passively monitoring facsimile transmissions between an originating fax machine and a terminating fax machine. The system detects a ring signal from the originating fax machine on an inbound telephone line, and, in response to detecting the ring signal, dials the previously stored telephone number of the terminating fax machine on an outbound telephone line. Upon completion of dialing the telephone number of the terminating fax machine, the system establishes a connection between the inbound and outbound telephone lines, thereby to connect the originating and terminating fax machines. The system then passively monitors signals between the originating and terminating fax machines to display protocol information translated into human readable form and indications of signal level and quality.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1996Date of Patent: June 29, 1999Assignee: MCI Communications CorporationInventors: William Christopher Hardy, Haroon I.

Patent number: 4616352Abstract: A vibrator seismic source has a sweep generator for providing a pilot signal and sensors for generating a feedback signal representative of the force imparted to the ground by the vibrator pad. Circuitry is incorporated for separating the fundamental signal from the feedback signal and for separating the distortion from the feedback signal. Means are provided for generating a control signal for controlling the action of the vibrator, the control signal being reduced or increased by the difference between the pilot signal and the fundamental signal, and further reduced by the distortion, if any. A threshold circuit is employed to ignore distortion below the threshold level and a threshold circuit is provided to ignore differences in amplitude between the pilot and fundamental signals when the difference is below the threshold. Additionally, the control system employs a phase detector circuit that outputs any phase difference between the feedback and pilot signals.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1982Date of Patent: October 7, 1986Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: John J. Sallas, Toby R. Trevino, Haroon I. Alvi, John S. Shoffner, Cameron B. Wason
