  • Patent number: 7305001
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7295600
    Abstract: The present invention monitors communication status during a data communication, determines whether the current communication status needs a re-initialization, requests a re-initialization of an opposing ADSL modem apparatus by transmitting ClearEOC when a re-initialization is needed, receives a response to a re-initialization request from the opposing ADSL modem apparatus, and performs a re-initialization after a predetermined time period.

  • Patent number: 7152101
    Abstract: A communication control method detects whether an opposing apparatus is capable of performing an abbreviated procedure during a handshake step, declares an initiation of the abbreviated procedure if the opposing apparatus is capable of performing the abbreviated procedure, omits a negotiation prior to transmitting a MEDLEY signal, allows a remote side to transmit capacity information and reception result once to a center side after exchanging the MEDLEY signal, and further allows the center side to transmit the final capacity and transmission speed information to the remote side, in order to complete the initialization sequence.

  • Patent number: 7082158
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20040022310
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20040017849
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20030053530
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20020196874
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5646603
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 4554214
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyurethane type casting coating showing high durability and used as labelling materials in labels, stickers, outdoor signs, reflective refractors, light road markings or automobiles. It is an object of the present invention to provide polyurethane type casting coatings for use in labelling materials by coating a solution consisting of a non-yellowing polyurethane-polyurea resin, an acryl type copolymers containing cross linkable groups such as hydroxylic groups or amide groups and a cross linking agent such as a blocked isocyanate or an aminoplast onto a releasable substrate and then cross linking the coating.
