Abstract: Described herein are a number of steps, methods and/or solutions that can be applied to greatly improve attenuation control of RF signals in cable plant. The present disclosure is directed to a cable modem auto-attenuation system or any other signal transferring system. The system may be capable of taking a high-power signal from the cable plant's service line, dropping the power value down to a usable level and transmitting the signal to a cable modem while eliminating the need for rigorous manual adjustments that a normal cable modem often requires. In certain embodiments, the system may be integrated into a separate device connected between the modem and the cable company service line and configured to handle upstream and downstream attenuation separately or jointly.

Abstract: A high performance wireless mesh architecture which has been optimized for mobile end points is described. The mesh architecture is intended for Navy applications, where the wireless mesh network extends between mobile ships and includes ship-to-shore links, but it is equally applicable to other mobile elements on, in, or under land, air, sea, or space.

Abstract: A data receiver interface circuit is provided with a circuit for accepting correctly framed data. The plurality of data bits sandwiched between a pair of frame pulses is temporarily stored while the number of clock cycles occurring between the frame pulses is determined to be a valid number. The data is accepted by the receiver if the number of clock cycles occurring between the pair of successive frame pulses is a valid number.
