Patent number: 8259944Abstract: In a frame synchronous scrambled communications network, communications are protected from pathological bit patterns that may lead to loss of receiver lock by detecting a pathological bit pattern in an incoming traffic stream using a pathological pattern detector. When a pathological bit pattern, such as a transition-less bit pattern, is detected, a corrective bit pattern is generated and inserted or substituted into the incoming traffic stream before transmission to the receiver. The receiver can be configured to revert the modified traffic stream back to the original traffic stream.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2008Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Dusan Suvakovic, Glenn M. Boles

Patent number: 7928866Abstract: An apparatus for enhancing packet communication is disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes an encoder configured to convert input data to a binary coded base system of an augmented code employing a base of an original code used for coding the input data, wherein the augmented code employs more symbols for coding than the original code, the encoder including: (1) an adder configured to add the input data to a multiplication product to generate a base sum that is binary-coded in the augmented code, (2) a multiplier configured to multiply an accumulated value by a base of the original code to provide the multiplication product that is binary-coded in the augmented code, and (3) an accumulator configured to employ the base sum to provide an accumulated value as an output for the encoder, wherein the accumulated value is binary-coded in the augmented code to represent the input data.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2009Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.Inventors: Glenn M. Boles, Ilija Hadzic, Edward Stanley Szurkowski

Patent number: 7242739Abstract: A method and apparatus for clock and data recovery that is advantageous in burst-mode systems is disclosed. This clock and data recovery method allows a) fast locking to a rapidly changed phase of the transmission clock, and b) stable tracking of a slowly changing phase of the transmission clock. Such fast locking minimizes the “guard band” between consecutive transmission bursts, while stable tracking provides reliable data tracking, resulting in the efficient use of bandwidth. A plurality of clock signals, is generated, each having a different phase. The phase of an input signal data stream is determined and a desired clock signal in the plurality that corresponds to the phase of the input data stream is selected and used to sample the input signal data stream.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2003Date of Patent: July 10, 2007Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Glenn M Boles, Alfred Earl Dunlop, Manyalibo Joseph Matthews, Dusan Suvakovic, Doutje T.

Patent number: 7123675Abstract: A clock recovery method is disclosed wherein the FIFO delay of data words and the phase difference between a data word and a receiver clock are used to time data transmissions from a transmitter. The phase difference between the data word and the receiver clock is determined by the offset of a word relative to a desired position in a storage buffer. The FIFO delay is determined either by measuring the difference between a read pointer and a write pointer in the FIFO or, alternatively, by calculating the difference between a timestamp of the time a data word entered the FIFO and the current time as the data word is read from the FIFO.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2002Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Glenn M Boles, Alfred Earl Dunlop, Ilija Hadzic, Manyalibo Joseph Matthews, Dusan Suvakovic, Doutje T.

Patent number: 5089770Abstract: The disclosure is of a system for measuring the frequency of an audio signal by converting the signal to a rectangular wave, counting the number of oscillator pulses which can be generated during one cycle of said wave and decoding the number of pulses to obtain the frequency of the audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 1990Date of Patent: February 18, 1992Assignee: Lunayach Communications ConsultantsInventors: Xiaoyang Lee, Glenn M.

Patent number: 5019899Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for creating digital signatures from frames of selected video segments such as TV commercials by a digitizing, compression and selection process which produces a multi-digit signature from each frame. The signatures are stored in a memory database. In the recognition mode broadcast video transmissions are similarly digitized frame by frame to generate signatures which are then compared with the signatures in the database to find matches. The system cycles efficiently through the database testing for signature matches and then totalizing the signature matches to determine occurrences of a match between a transmitted segment or commercial and a stored segment or commercial. The system also includes signature generating and comparison circuits which permit wide variations in the quality of the input video signals form a variety of different media sources such as off-air, videotape or camera inputs while maintaining accurate recognition.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1988Date of Patent: May 28, 1991Assignee: Control Data CorporationInventors: Glenn M.
