Abstract: In general, the present invention provides an efficient usage of Far End Crosstalk (FEXT) coefficient memory in a G.fast vectoring system. According to certain aspects, embodiments of the invention provide a simple scheme for efficient management of the Discontinuous (DO) and Regular Operation (RO) FEXT coefficient memories to handle the complexity of lines joining/leaving the system in both regular and DO groups. In embodiments, by disabling the power-efficient, Discontinuous Operation, a G.fast system according to the invention first frees up the DO coefficient memory. Next, the system uses this memory as the staging area to manage joining/leaving events. Finally the system re-enables to the power-efficient Discontinuous Operation and re-populates the DO coefficient memory.

Abstract: Healthcare information recorders use a series of processor-driven GUIs that enable low burden entry of healthcare information, including examination information, diagnoses, and treatment/prognosis. Typing of whole words and phrases is not required in the recorders, which may operate with simple touches, gestures, spoken commands, etc., potentially through a touchscreen. A database may store a series of input templates and entry options that reflect likely options for healthcare information needed to be entered. All aspects of healthcare are addressable, including examinations, diagnoses, tests and results, prescriptions, treatments, and prognoses. Input into the recorders refines later operations, permitting suggestions, auto-completion, and better solicitation of information in a sequence of GUIs. User input through recorders may thus be both simplified and comprehensive and stored in connection with relevant recordation information such as date and time, attending physician, or by patient identifier.

Abstract: In particular embodiments, a first switch implementing a first virtual local area network (VLAN) registration protocol and connected to a first end of the trunk detects whether a second switch connected to a second end of the trunk implements the first VLAN registration protocol. In an embodiment, the second switch may send an unsolicited message to the first switch indicating the VLAN registration protocol implemented by the second switch. The first switch may then determine the VLAN registration protocol implemented by the second switch. Alternatively, the first switch may send a solicited message to the second switch. By receiving a response to the solicited message, the first switch can determine that the second switch implements the first VLAN registration protocol. In response to determining that the second switch implements the first VLAN registration protocol, the first switch may enable a pruning technique in accordance with the first VLAN registration protocol.

Abstract: According to certain aspects, the present invention improves upon the conventional TCAM scheme by allowing a traditional TCM scheme to be used while in RCM mode. In a RCM mode according to embodiments of the invention, the system uses traditional TCM+SNR margin (i.e. SNRM) with a receiver controlled bit allocation table (BAT) and tone ordering table (TOT). In a TCAM mode according to embodiments of the invention, the system uses uncoded hierarchical modulation similar to the modulation originally proposed for TCAM. According to certain aspects, the transmitter in RCM mode in embodiments of the invention can determine when line conditions require a switch to TCAM mode, and signal the transition to the receiver. Likewise, when in a TCAM mode according to embodiments of the invention, the receiver can request to switch back to RCM via a SRA mechanism, for example.
