  • Patent number: 7816979
    Abstract: A method and system for a frequency shift key demodulation is provided. The system includes a counting block for counting a reference clock within a window defined by a modulated signal, a detector for comparing a count value output from the counting block with digital multi-level thresholds and outputting baseband data based on the comparison, and a configurations block for configuring at least one of the counting block and the detector. The method includes counting a reference clock within a window defined by the FSK modulated signal and outputting a count value as a result of the counting, and comparing the count value with multi-level thresholds to output baseband data based on the comparison.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7795986
    Abstract: A method, system and digital modulator for modulation are provided The modulator includes a dividing mechanism for dividing a reference clock by a divide value to produce a modulated signal associated with at least one input data, and a control unit for providing at least one divide sequence to the dividing mechanism. The at least one divide sequence includes a sequence of one or more divide values. The divide value of the divide sequence is configurable and selectively provided to the dividing mechanism based on the at least one input data. The method includes configuring at least one divide sequence including a sequence of one or more divide values, and selecting a divide value from the at least one divide sequence based on at least one input data. The method includes dividing a reference clock by the selected divide value and generating a modulated signal based on the divide operation.

  • Patent number: 6519584
    Abstract: Advertising displays such as found in mass transit vehicles or stations or in electronic newspapers are provided with user directed search capabilities. Selected text, dragged and dropped onto an image space, serves to initiate a query. If the advertising display is networked, an external search of network resources, such as those of the World Wide Web, can be undertaken and the results utilized to initiate one or more local searches.
