Abstract: A method and a system for generating optical waveforms from electrical signals is disclosed. An input electrical signal is sampled to obtain a single channel data which is converted to multi-channel data. The multi-channel data is converted to multi-channel electrical pulses which are input along with a light source output into a switch array containing optical switches to obtain a multi-channel optical waveform made up of a plurality of optical waveforms. These waveforms are superpositioned to generate a stacked optical pulse. Alternatively, the multi-channel data may be converted to a multi-channel optical pulses. The stacked optical pulse may be used to write data to a storage medium.

Abstract: A method and system for parsing and analyzing incoming electronic mail messages to determine a confidence factor indicative of whether or not the messages are junk e-mail. The method and system utilize message services which attempt to contact the purported sender in order to verify that the identified host computer actually exists and accepts outgoing mail services for the specified user. The routing history is also examined to ensure that identified intermediate sites are also valid. Likewise, seed addresses can alert an e-mail provider to potential mass mailings by reporting when mail is received for ghost or non-existent accounts.

Abstract: A system and method for allowing callers using DP telephones to access IVR systems, including monitoring DP signals until a dialed digit is recognized, where the DP signals are generated by a transmission element and received by a reception element within a telephone network, and where the monitoring does not interfere with the DP signals, sending the dialed digit to a DTMF transmitter, and outputting a DTMF signal following the DP signals on a speech path, wherein the DTMF signal corresponds to the dialed digit.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a communication system which can be utilized to complement an existing cable television system in which a central office transmits signals along a coaxial cable to a user unit through a tap. The communication system features a central transmitting/receiving unit for wirelessly transmitting first signals generated at the central office and for receiving second signals. A first response unit which may be connected to the tap will receive the first signals wirelessly transmitted from the central transmitting/receiving unit, and will generate and wirelessly transmit the second signals to be received by the central transmitting/receiving unit. A further second response unit may be connected to the user unit, and the second response unit may generate a third signal to be wirelessly received by the first response. The third signal may be used to control the tap connected to the first response unit.

Abstract: A pager transceiver and method for selectively paging provides a page to a paging transceiver but does not automatically provide associated information. The paging transceiver receives the page and alerts the user that information is waiting and preferably provides a short description of the information. The user can then download or otherwise act on the information at a time and at a place convenient to the user. The user can therefore place the paging transceiver in a location where it can easily receive and reply to the message. The paging system conserves air time and the paging transceiver conserves memory by not automatically receiving the associated messages. The messages stored by the systems and delivered to the paging transceiver may be of different types, such as voice, text, audio, or even video. In addition to messages, the paging system can store other information for the user, such as songs or video clips that the user can sample or updates on weather or stock rates.

The paging system conserves air time and the paging transceiver conserves memory by not automatically receiving the associated messages. The paging transceiver can receive transmissions during off-peak hours and has a timer which can be programmed so that messages are delivered at a desired time. The content of the messages may be stored in a plurality of different systems and one or more of these systems may page the paging transceiver to inform it of the messages.

Abstract: An analog to digital data storage system includes receiver means for receiving an incoming signal carrying an analog component from a suitable transmitter. The analog signal is preferably preceded by a designated address code which is specific to a particular data storage system. The system further includes enable means activated by the incoming signal to emit an enable signal (logic high) to activate the system circuitry. The enable means may comprise a decoder which has been programmed to recognize an address code specified to a particular receiver or group of receivers or may be activated simply by the incoming signal without an address code, to emit the enable signal. The system also includes conversion means for converting the incoming analog data to digital format and memory means for storing the converted digital data. The conversion means further includes circuitry for reconverting a digital signal to analog format.
