Abstract: Systems and methods for permitting DOCSIS 3.1 equipment to operate at higher frequencies than specified in the DOCSIS 3.1 standard. Exemplary systems may be capable of alternating between a first mode of operation that provides DOCSIS 3.1 compatible services and a second mode of operation providing a higher level of service than DOCSIS 3.1.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for applying a covering film to a book. The apparatus has a gate mechanism having open and closed states, which in the closed state presents a front surface against which a covering film may be overlaid. The spine of a book is pressed onto the covering film overlaying the front surface. The gate is then opened to admit the book to a space rearward of the gate beyond the front surface, such that the book draws the covering film into that space. A laminating mechanism is positioned rearwardly of the gate top receive the book and laminate the film against the front and rear covers to cover the book with the film.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus can be used to flexibly allocate RF channels to output ports on edge termination systems. Flexible edge termination systems can include multiplexing modules operable to combine signals together inside of the flexible edge termination system to provide a flexible mapping of RF channels to output ports.
