Patent number: 5406281Abstract: A method (100) and device (200) increase efficiency of a data compression encoder or decoder by testing whether an input string is a maximum length string upon successful match of the input string in a dictionary. Where the length of the input string is equal to a predetermined maximum string length, the string matching process is terminated without processing an additional input character that would cause an unsuccessful string match. The maximum length string test is accomplished by testing a string length counter for the value zero, where the string length counter is set to the maximum string length value when the input string is NULL or alternatively is set to the maximum string length minus one when the input string is a one character string, and the string length counter is decremented for each input character that extends the matched input string.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1993Date of Patent: April 11, 1995Assignee: Codex CorporationInventor: Jeffrey T. Klayman

Patent number: 5384780Abstract: The present invention provides a novel scheme for automatically increasing data throughput in a communication system by having data compression with delay minimization done within a modem. A high speed modem includes a logical link negotiation unit for probing and determining data compression parameters (DCPs) for a synchronous data compression link with a remote modem and for inserting the DCPs and codeword combinations into compressed data. The modem also includes a physical layer connection unit coupled to synchronous data terminal equipment to provide a delay minimizing scheme that adjustably accommodates data delivery delay to the receiving modem. A method and system incorporate the functions of the high speed modem.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1993Date of Patent: January 24, 1995Assignee: Codex CorporationInventors: Martin G.

Patent number: 5347539Abstract: A two wire modem selects a carrier frequency in a baud rate from a predetermined plurality of carrier frequencies and baud rates to communicate with another modem over a communication media in a full duplex mode based on signal and echo characteristics of the communication media estimated by the modem. In addition, the processes of estimating channel characteristics and estimating range are combined in a common start up procedure comprising a plurality of successive time segments for a call modem to communicate with an answer modem over a communication media. Still further, a method is provided for switching from a primary communication media connection to a secondary connection of a data communications network for communication by first and second modems coupled to the network. More specifically, when a failure is detected in the primary connection, the secondary connection is qualified before switching thereto.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 1993Date of Patent: September 13, 1994Assignee: Codex CorporationInventors: Manickam R.

Patent number: 5329405Abstract: A variable length string matcher finds the longest string in a stored sequence of data elements (e.g., in a history buffer) that matches a string in a given sequence of data elements. The matcher includes circuitry that operates iteratively to compare data elements of the strings and determine the longest matching string based on when an iteration does not result in issuance of a match signal. In another aspect, the history buffer is an associative content addressable memory (CAM), and the string matcher uses absolute addressing of the CAM to determine the longest matching string.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1992Date of Patent: July 12, 1994Assignee: Codex CorporationInventors: Brian Ta-Cheng Hou, Craig D. Cohen, James A. Pasco-Anderson, Michael Gutman

Patent number: 5319636Abstract: A device and method utilize a linear feedback/feedforward configuration to estimate and cancel a listener echo wherein equalizer (202) and listener echo cancellation (204 and 208) units are jointly updated, allowing determination of an error signal once (204 and 208), in place of the former method of separate error signal determination for each of an equalizer and a listener echo canceller. An improved phase-correction scheme is utilized to compensate the frequency offset in the listener echo. The relationship between the listener echo and talker far echo is utilized to facilitate the listener echo cancellation.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1991Date of Patent: June 7, 1994Assignee: Codex CorporationInventors: Guozhu Long, Fuyun Ling, M.
