  • Pre-equalization technique for upstream communication between cable modem and headend
    Patent number: 7120123
    Abstract: A number of features for enhancing the performance of a cable transmission system in which data is transmitted between a cable modem termination system at a headend and a plurality of cable modems located different distances from the headend. The power transmission level, slot timing, and equalization of the cable modems are set by a ranging process. Data is transmitted by the modems in fragmented form. Various measures are taken to make transmission from the cable modems robust. The upstream data transmission is controlled to permit multiple access from the cable modems.

  • Just-in-time (JIT) event information for retail industry
    Patent number: 7117212
    Abstract: An intranet online dissemination system that facilitates real time automated communication of event information to a particular user's profile. The system comprises a communication medium including a host interface for creating, categorizing, and timing the event's information. A digital repository is provided for storing the event information. Additionally, a processing module is coupled to the repository and the host interface for queuing and disseminating the event information to a user interface. An information module is provided for identifying a user and a user's profile to the system at the user interface. The processing module selectively communicates the event information via the communication medium to the user based upon the user's profile.

  • Rate-adaptive therapy with sensor cross-checking
    Patent number: 7092758
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically adjusting the operating parameters of a rate-adaptive cardiac pacemaker in which maximum exertion levels attained by the patient are measured at periodic intervals and stored in order to compute or update a maximum exercise capacity. The slope of the rate-response curve is then adjusted to map an exertion level corresponding to the updated maximum exercise capacity to a maximum allowable pacing rate. In accordance with the invention, a maximum exercise capacity is determined by cross-checking periodic maximum exertion level sensor values with a motion-level sensor value.
