  • Publication number: 20230208537
    Abstract: A method for determining a transfer function of an RX path of a receiver comprises applying a connector signal at a first measurement time. A connector signal response signal is measured. A first reference signal is applied and a first detector signal is measured by a detector, in response to the first reference signal passing through a second reference signal insertion path of the receiver. A first reference signal response signal is measured in response to the first reference signal passing through a second reference signal insertion path of the receiver. A second reference signal is applied and a second detector signal and a second reference signal response signal are measured. The transfer function of the RX path of the receiver is determined based on the connector signal, first detector signal, first reference signal response signal, second detector signal, and second reference signal response signal.

  • Patent number: 11271607
    Abstract: A testing of a transmission path of a cable connection between a first position and a second position is provided. Test signals are transmitted via the transmission path, and a transfer function is determined by evaluating the test signals. In order to assess the properties of the transmission path, the transfer function is transformed to an impulse response and the echo power of the transmission path is evaluated by analyzing the impulse response.

  • Publication number: 20020028321
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for printing scratch-off material on a substrate with off-set printing equipment, and the resulting product. First, an indicia is printed on an upper surface of a substrate. Next, an aqueous ultraviolet primer layer is applied over the substrate and the indicia. The primer layer seals the upper surface of the substrate and facilitates the application of a subsequent ultraviolet coating layer. After the primer layer has cured, an ultraviolet coating layer is applied over the primer layer. After the ultraviolet coating has cured, a first semi-opaque scratch-off layer is applied over the ultraviolet coating with offset equipment to form a high quality image. The first scratch-off layer should be formulated such that it dries on the ultraviolet coating, but does not adhere to the ultraviolet coating. In another aspect of the invention, a second layer of scratch-off material can be applied over the first scratch-off layer after it has cured.

  • Patent number: 5018347
    Abstract: An apparatus wherein an elongate lawn mower blade body includes a forwardly extending flange and a rearwardly extending flange, wherein each flange includes a slot extending along the flange spaced from an end edge surface of the cutting blade a predetermined distance. A polymeric replacement blade, including a "T" shaped projection directed rearwardly of the blade, is receivable within the slot, wherein the blade includes a top and bottom surface aligned with a respective top and bottom surface of the associated blade body. Modifications of the invention include metallic reinforcement cast within the blade and optionally utilizing an "S" shaped blade to position the blade underlying the blade body.
