Patent number: 7305001Abstract: The present invention provides a management table that uses only specific symbols for upstream signals and other symbols for downstream signals, within a hyperframe (ADSL communication unit). Communication is performed by switching streams between the upstream and downstream, in accordance with the symbols stored in the management table. Upon transmitting a predetermined number of hyperframes, a processor transmits a SEGUE signal instead of a REVERB signal in the beginning of the next hyperframe.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2003Date of Patent: December 4, 2007Assignee: Panasonic Communications Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuhiko Noma, Tatsuo Imai, Keiichi Tomita

Patent number: 7082158Abstract: A control monitors communication status during a data communication and determines a re-initialization is necessary in the current communication status. If the re-initialization is necessary, a pre-selected sub-carrier topology is inverted to request the re-initialization to an ADSL modem apparatus, which is installed by a central system. Upon receiving a reply to the re-initialization request from the ADSL modem apparatus, the re-initialization is performed after an expiration of a predetermined time period.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2002Date of Patent: July 25, 2006Assignee: Panasonic Communications Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuhiko Noma, Keiichi Tomita, Tatsuo Imai

Publication number: 20040022310Abstract: A center side transmits a downstream signal by using a specified carrier preset by a communication standard, when a handshake sequence is initiated, and retransmits a downstream signal by using an alternate carrier shifted toward a higher frequency instead of a specified carrier in the proximity of carriers used for the upstream, when a line connection with an opposing ADSL modem apparatus fails during the signal transmission using the specified carrier. Further, a remote side detects a signal of a specified carrier preset by a communication standard from downstream, when a handshake sequence is initiated, and detects an alternate carrier signal in accordance with a carrier change made by the transmitter side, when the signal of the specified carrier fails to be received within a predetermined time since the initiation of the handshake sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2003Publication date: February 5, 2004Applicant: Panasonic Communications Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuhiko Noma, Tatsuo Imai, Keiichi Tomita

Publication number: 20040017849Abstract: An ADSL modem apparatus that serves as an ATU-R receives a signal in the hyperframe format having FEXT and NEXT parts, when an initialization sequence is started, the signal configured with a known number of symbols. The received signal is sampled by an AFE and stored in a buffer memory of an FFT unit. A processor establishes a symbol synchronization and a hyperframe synchronization, upon receiving an original signal, based on sample data of the original signal, the original signal having REVERB signals during a FEXT period and non-REVERB signals (distinguishable from REVERB signals) during a NEXT period.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2003Publication date: January 29, 2004Applicant: Panosonic Communications Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuhiko Noma, Tatsuo Imai, Keiichi Tomita

Publication number: 20030053530Abstract: A center and remote sides are connected via a line and perform an initialization sequence to set a transmission speed and to detect gain characteristics of a signal received during the initialization sequence at both sides. Both center and remote sides then inform each other of the detected gain characteristics and correct gain characteristics of future transmission signals based on the informed gain characteristics. Therefore, it is possible for a sender side to perform a gain correction that raises gain amounts of transmission signals according to a decay rate, and for a receiver side to maintain the reception level, which is more than a predetermined value, thereby providing a high-speed data rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2002Publication date: March 20, 2003Applicant: MATSUSHITA GRAPHIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Nobuhiko Noma, Keiichi Tomita, Tatsuo Imai

Publication number: 20030005370Abstract: In multi-carrier communication, error amounts, which are deviations between the coordinate points of eye patterns detected from actual reception signals of each sub-carrier, and the target coordinate points of eye patterns from the reception signals are calculated by an eye pattern display controller and displayed on an oscilloscope.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2002Publication date: January 2, 2003Applicant: Matsushita Graphic Communication Systems, Inc.Inventors: Keiichi Tomita, Nobuhiko Noma, Tatsuo Imai

Publication number: 20020196874Abstract: A maximum amount searcher searches maximum carrier energy amount, among the energy amounts of multiple carriers that comprise REVERB signals, and a main controller performs a gain control to bring the maximum energy amount to a target gain amount. At the same time, the same gain control for the maximum energy amount is performed for other carrier energy amounts across the board.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2002Publication date: December 26, 2002Applicant: MATSUSHITA GRAPHIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Keiichi Tomita, Nobuhiko Noma, Tatsuo Imai

Patent number: 5646603Abstract: A remote control apparatus for recording/playback equipment capable of remotely controlling complicated recording playback equipment while placing little burden on the control side. Schedule data is transmitted from an uplink system 100 to a downlink system 200 via a communications satellite. The schedule data includes operation data for recording and playback operations and their related operations, start data which displays at least the operation start time, and position data which indicates the recording/playback position on the recording medium. The received schedule data is stored in a non-volatile RAM in the control area of the VCR 203. The VCR then uses this schedule data as a basis for automatically carrying out recording or playback operations and their related operations.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1995Date of Patent: July 8, 1997Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Atsushi Nagata, Haruo Iwasaki, Kazuhiko Shimizu, Yoshinori Tanba, Takafumi Abe, Tatsuo Imai, Akihiro Kikuchi, Teruyuki Miyakawa
