Patent number: 8774082Abstract: An Ethernet Digital Storage (EDS) Card and satellite transmission system is provided for receiving, storing, and transmitting files. A data stream is received and may be stored at the receiver or routed as TCP/IP packets. The EDS Card includes an HTTP server. A DHCP on the EDS card provides dynamic configuration of the card's IP address. The EDS card includes a PPP and modem processor. The EDS card includes an event scheduler. A command processor keeps a built-in log of audio spots played. Files may be transmitted from the EDS card via an M&C port, an Ethernet port, or an auxiliary RS-232 port. Files may be received from a data stream from a satellite, an M&C port, an Ethernet port, or an auxiliary RS-232 port. The EDS card also provides time shifting and may be used without a satellite feed as an HTTP-controlled router with storage.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2012Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Megawave Audio LLCInventors: Roswell Roberts, Ian Lerner, Lowell E.

Patent number: 8284774Abstract: An Ethernet Digital Storage (EDS) Card and satellite transmission system is provided for receiving, storing, and transmitting files including video, audio, text, and multimedia files, especially files received via satellite transmission. In a preferred embodiment, a satellite system includes a receiver using the EDS Card. A data stream is received by the receiver and then may be stored at the receiver or directly routed as TCP/IP packets. Received or stored data files may be multicast. The EDS Card also includes an HTTP server for web access to the card parameters and any files stored on the card. A DHCP on the EDS card provides dynamic configuration of the card's IP address. The EDS card also includes a PPP and modem processor for file transmission, reception, and affidavit collection. The EDS card also includes an event scheduler for triggering files at a predetermined time or at an external prompt.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2007Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Megawave Audio LLCInventors: Roswell Roberts, Ian Lerner, Lowell E.

Patent number: 7792068Abstract: This specification discloses a satellite transmission system for transmission of TCP/IP compatible packets from a head end computer through a satellite uplink, an extraterrestrial satellite, a satellite downlink, and an integrated satellite receiver/router for outputting of the TCP/IP compatible packets through a port on the receiver/router onto a computer LAN or WAN. The system may include an Internet or telecommunications backchannel. The receiver becomes router enabled by means of a removable insertion Ethernet/Router insertion card inserted into a slot in the receiver, although the transmission system may be used to simultaneously transmit a variety of other services through the receiver by use of other service slots in the receiver. The Ethernet/Receiver supports the IGMPv2 Multicasting (querier and non querier modes), standard TCP/IP (including UDP and Telnet), and SNMP protocols.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2003Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Inventors: Roswell Robert, III, Ian Lerner, Laurence A.

Publication number: 20080098797Abstract: Impact-sensing and measurement systems are disclosed, especially for use in contact sports and related activities that involve exchanges of impacts or blows. The system generally includes at least one impact sensor, a controller, and a feedback device. The controller is in communication with the at least one impact sensor, and includes a microprocessor having a control program software executed thereon at least for processing data from the at least one impact sensor. The feedback device is in communication with the controller and is configured to produce an audio or video output, or combined audio and visual output, based on impact data produced by the impact sensor upon sensing an impact and processed by the first controller. The controller can be programmed to provide specialized training regimens and/or interactive training programs, such as over a computer network.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2007Publication date: May 1, 2008Inventors: Gary Considine, Jeff Dankworth, Rita Sever, Ian Lerner, Roswell Roberts

Publication number: 20070239609Abstract: The present specification discloses a multimedia distribution system and method. The system and method has a producer workstation, a delivery server, a high-bandwidth one-way satellite transmission system, a terrestrial two-way communication system (including use of the Internet), a plurality of satellite affiliate workstations, and a plurality of terrestrial client workstations. The delivery server receives digital information (envelopes and associates media files) from the producer workstations for delivery of the information to the affiliate and client workstations addressed in the envelope. The affiliate and client workstations provide the delivery server with confirmation of delivery of each received envelope and its associated files. In the absence of receipt of confirmation of delivery, the delivery server re-sends the unconfirmed envelope and associated files to the non-confirming affiliate or client workstation by a two-way terrestrial connection or by a manual system, such as a dub-and-ship service.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2007Publication date: October 11, 2007Inventors: Laurence Fish, Lowell Teschmacher, Anibal-Jose Rivero, Roswell Roberts III

Publication number: 20060209668Abstract: An integrated receiver-decoder device for in-home use demodulates and decodes QPSK modulated MPEG-DVB formatted signals received via satellite transmission. The receiver-decoder is capable of simultaneously providing both IP data output and analog audio output for direct connection to a user's home entertainment equipment and/or PC. The receiver-decoder housing includes a front panel user-interface and is designed for connection to an external satellite receiver dish. An on-line upgradable software operating system controls all receiver-decoder operations including demodulating, DVB signal decoding, selecting and configuring audio and IP data channels for output.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2003Publication date: September 21, 2006Inventors: Ian Lerner, Laurence Fish, Roswell Roberts, Lowell Teschmacher, Omar Choucair

Patent number: 6049551Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for dynamically allocated multiple slots within a multi-channel multi-carrier transmission system. The slots may be allocated sequentially or non-sequentially. The data transmission rate for each slot remains constant, while multiple slots may be allocated to a single user service. Each carrier signal contains header data regarding all other carriers associated with the transmission system to identify the allocation of slots to user services. In an alternative embodiment, an encoding and transmitting system is provided for transmitting one or more video and audio encoded signals in a time division multiplexed manner along separate channels having fixed bandwidths. Multiple audio channels may be transmitted simultaneously with a related single video channel, and vice versa. The time division multiplexed audio/video signals may be transmitted over a single carrier or over multiple carriers.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1996Date of Patent: April 11, 2000Assignee: StarGuide Digital Networks, Inc.Inventors: Larry W.
