Publication number: 20220332217Abstract: According to examples, data collection and analysis-based device monitoring may include obtaining, at a monitoring data collector, from an optical fiber of a sensing membrane that is used to monitor a thermal property of a device, monitoring data associated with the monitoring of the thermal property of the device. The monitoring data may be forwarded to a monitoring data analyzer that is remote from the monitoring data collector. Based on an analysis of the monitoring data by the monitoring data analyzer, an indication of an operational status of the device may be received from the monitoring data analyzer. A device controller may control, based on the indication of the operational status of the device, an operation of the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2021Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.Inventors: Oleg KHAYKIN, Adam NOWOTARSKI, Pascal DONZEL, Kevin J.

Patent number: 8718121Abstract: The present invention provides a test device and a method enabling automatic detection of an imbalance in a power level of a channel. The test device includes a tuner, a power-level measurement system, and an evaluation unit. According to the method, a test channel is selected from a plurality of channels, by means of the tuner. A power level of the test channel and a total power level of the plurality of channels are measured, by means of the power-level measurement system. A ratio of the total power level of the plurality of channels to the power level of the test channel is then evaluated, by means of the evaluation unit, to detect an imbalance in a power level of the test channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2009Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: JDS Uniphase CorporationInventors: Adam A.

Patent number: 8312496Abstract: An apparatus and method for frequency sweeping a CATV network, suitable for an upstream path frequency sweeping, is presented. A narrowband test signal is injected into the network by a generator coupled to a cable modem during a time interval allocated by the head end for the cable modem to transmit a modulated digital signal. The amplitude of the test signal is lower than the amplitude of the modulated digital signal, so as not to impair reception of said digital signal at the head end. The frequency of the test signal is swept, and the amplitude of the received test signal is measured. A telemetry or a digital signal transmission is used to communicated the values of the amplitude of the test signals between the injection and the measurement locations of the network.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2009Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Acterna LLCInventors: Adam A.

Patent number: 8243780Abstract: The present invention provides a test device and a method enabling automatic detection of an imbalance in a power level of a digital channel. The test device includes an attenuator, a tuner, a demodulator, and an evaluation unit. According to the method, a plurality of channels are attenuated at a plurality of attenuation levels, by means of the attenuator. A digital channel is selected from the plurality of channels, by means of the tuner. A modulation error ratio (MER) of the digital channel is measured at the plurality of attenuation levels, by means of the demodulator. A variation of the MER of the digital channel with attenuation level is then evaluated, by means of the evaluation unit, to detect an imbalance in a power level of the digital channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2009Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Inventors: Adam A.
