Abstract: A system and method adapted to rejuvenate batteries at or near the resonant frequency of the battery. The present invention takes a battery and applies a modulated current charging signal to increase battery performance. A resonant signal is adapted to re-train and adjust battery materials for proper operation. By repeated charge/discharge cycling, battery memory decreases and/or battery capacity increases, thereby improving the battery capacity.

One embodiment of the invention utilizes a PLL, digital or analog, to adjust the phase angle of a modulated current charging signal to that of the resonant frequency of the battery. A second embodiment of the invention utilizes an energy managed delta function to determine the resonant frequency of the battery. A third embodiment utilizes a small signal frequency sweep in order to determine the resonant frequency of the battery.

Abstract: A method is provided for predicting an installed performance parameter of an optical fiber cable. The method includes obtaining a measurement indicative of a value of the performance parameter at a first moment in time. A measurement indicative of a value of the performance parameter at a second moment in time may then be obtained. A first correlation may then be determined between the measurement at the first moment in time and the measurement at the second moment in time. A value of the performance parameter at the second moment in time may then be estimated based upon the measurement at the first moment in time in combination with the first correlation, the first correlation being based upon observations of a manner in which the performance parameter varies over time for at least a second optical fiber.

A storage energy device, for example a battery, delivers a current charging signal modulated at or near the resonant frequency of a load, or stores energy from a source.

Abstract: A system includes a duct, a pressurized fluid source, and a valve. The duct receives one or more cables and the pressurized fluid source couples to a first end of the duct and produces fluid pressure within the duct. The valve couples to a second end of the duct and is closed for a time to build pressure within the duct, and then opened to permit the fluid under pressure within the duct to escape rapidly from the duct and propel the one or more cables through the duct.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides that saturation will not be not reached by initially probing the battery and taking data on the current as the probe frequency is swept. At or near resonance the current will begin to increase. At this point the signal generator reduces the current to a present level (a limit) and keeps track of the current CHANGE. This process is repeated as the signal is swept and at resonance the CHANGE will be maximum (when compared to the average). In other words, the first signal NOT at resonance is kept as the ceiling and any change is noted against this ceiling. The second derivative of the change can show the minima which when plotted versus frequency will yield the correct resonance.

Abstract: System and method for providing service-agnostic network resources is provided. An embodiment receives an indication that a user is requesting services at a new location, retrieves an access profile, which includes service parameters for services to which the user subscribes, and causes the access network and the programmable network to be reconfigured to provide to the user's services at the new location. The indication may be generated automatically or manually. A network control database that stores network topology information and/or configuration instructions may be used to reconfigure the network resources. In this manner, the access network and the programmable network may be reconfigured to allow the user to move from location to location and from device to device and continue to receive a consistent set of transport services, even involving multiple forms of transport.
