  • Adjustment mechanism
    Patent number: 11234509
    Abstract: An adjustment mechanism, including a first, second and third element pivotally connected to each other in series; locking mechanism to lock the respective elements in a selected position relative to each other; and a pushbutton actuating mechanism that releases the locking mechanism such that the elements are independently pivoted with respect to each other and release of the pushbutton actuating mechanism re-energizes the locking mechanism.
    Type: Grant

  • Upstream signal quality monitoring
    Patent number: 7944848
    Abstract: The problem is that a measurement of the average signal quality (average modulation error ratio), does not identify poor quality signals that may be originating from an individual cable modem. The device of the present invention displays the modulation error ratio (MER) for each packet received. Since the media access control (MAC) address is associated with a packet received from an individual cable modem, a graph displaying the MER for each packet received is also displaying the MER for signals from the individual cable modems. Thus a technician viewing the display will be able to identify whether a low MER is a result of an impairment in the network or the from an individual cable modem.
