Abstract: A system for testing multiple wireless routers independently and simultaneously using different types of device probes is disclosed. The system includes real-time, bi-directional/asynchronous communication and interaction between system components.

Abstract: A hardware architecture for a universal testing system used for performing Wifi tests on wireless devices under test (DUT) is disclosed. According to certain embodiments, test information travels from a Wifi port of the test server to the Wifi port's antenna in a Faraday cage, and then travels over the air to DUT's Wifi antenna in the same Faraday cage, and then to a LAN Ethernet port of the DUT, and then to the test server's Ethernet port.

Abstract: A system may include a master test system and a plurality of slave test systems coupled to the master test system and/or each other. The system may include devices under test (DUTs) (also referred to herein as units under test (UUTs)) stored in test slots and coupled to the master test system or specific slave test systems over Ethernet, coaxial, or other cables. Each test slot may include a Faraday cage that shields the contents therein from electromagnetic signals outside the test slot. The master test system and/or the slave test systems may test the DUTs using specific sequences of tests according to testing protocols relevant to those DUTs. One or more test controllers, mobile devices, display devices, and/or input devices may be coupled to the test systems and be used to control specific test protocols performed by the test systems.

Abstract: A method for measuring the amount of noise in a video image includes receiving a signal from an imaging device; extracting a luma component from a color image; applying a filter to compute the second derivatives of the extracted luma component; determining a ratio of noise pixels to total pixels in the second derivative; and comparing the ratio to a pre-determined ratio.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically evaluating the quality of a signal transmitted by an imaging device. The amount of noise in the video signal is analyzed using an algorithm that does not require comparison to a template signal. The results of the algorithm determine whether the signal meets a pre-determined threshold value for signal quality.

Abstract: Arrangement and method for managing set-top boxes used by customers of a content service provider includes at least one automated tester each arranged to couple to set-top boxes and subject each set-top box to a series of automated tests to determine whether each set-top box is functioning properly or requires subsequent repair, and a processor unit coupled to each automated tester for receiving test results therefrom and monitoring testing of set-top boxes via the automated tester(s). Each automated tester is located at a testing facility maintained by the content service provider. A database stores the test results from the automated tester(s) and enables generation of customized reports about the set-top boxes tested by the automated tester(s). A billing system is coupled to each automated tester and to the processor unit and coordinates invoicing for testing performed by the automated tester(s) and repair of set-top boxes at a repair facility.

Abstract: A test system, for example for set top boxes or game consoles, includes logic to reformat media signals output by a device under test, logic to receive the reformatted media signals and to analyze them for errors, and a pluggable interface coupling the device under test to the logic to reformat the media signals.

Abstract: A method for clearing a memory component of an electronic device using a universal remote control unit includes initiating, by a user, an upgrading mode; entering, by a user, a code associated with a device to be controlled by the remote control unit; entering, by a user, a signal formatting data entry which includes signal formatting data, via the keys of the keypad, to be stored in memory of the remote control unit; and associating the type of device to be controlled by the remote control unit with the signal formatting data entry. The signal formatting data is formed to allow a sequence of depression of keys to cause the memory component of the device to be cleared.
