Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) device includes an RF transceiver, an RF antenna, and a magnetic signal detector. The RF is selected to be in the very high frequency (VHF), ultrahigh frequency (UHF), or super high frequency (SHF) bands such that the shielding effect is reduced and the RF device can be configured as a SIM card disposed inside a cellular phone with an increased RF communication range. The magnetic signal detector is used to sense a magnetic field signal from an RF reader, which includes an RF transceiver, an RF antenna, and a magnetic signal transmitter. The longer communication range afforded by the VHF, UHF, or SHF bands is reduced by the sensing of the magnetic field, thereby providing a communication range control, while the RF device and the RF reader exchange information through the RF channel with improved security as a result of the range control.

Abstract: Determining availability of an end-to-end physical path associated with reserved resources of a tunnel may include determining, for one or more nodes, a resource status for one or more resources integral to each node. Resource status for the integral resources of each node may be recorded in a message. Each node may communicate its associated message to one or more other nodes. At least one particular node of the one or more nodes may receive the messages communicated from the one or more nodes. The at least one particular node may store resource statuses for each of the one or more nodes. Based on an analysis of resource statuses, the at least one particular node may determine an availability of an end-to-end path of reserved resources of a tunnel including one or more of the nodes based on an analysis of resource statuses.

Abstract: Recovering state information for a node in a communication network includes receiving a path message after occurrence of a fault condition. A unique path identifier associated with the path message may be compared to at least one stored unique path identifier. In response to a determination that the unique path identifier associated with the path message matches at least one stored unique path identifier, path resource requirements associated with the path message may be compared to previously-committed resources associated with the at least one stored unique path identifier. In response to a determination that the path resource requirements associated with the path message match previously-committed resources associated with the at least one stored unique path identifier, a communications channel may be maintained through the node using the previously-committed resources and based on path information set forth in the path message.

Abstract: Node recovery in a communication network, includes determining whether a heartbeat message is received by a first node from a second node upstream of the first node within a heartbeat timeout threshold of the first node in response to an occurrence of a fault condition at the first node. In response to determining that the heartbeat message is not received within the heartbeat timeout threshold, a probe message may be communicated to one or more third nodes downstream of both the first node and the second node, wherein receipt of the probe message by one of the third nodes is operable to prevent deletion of previously-committed resources at the third node and associated with the second node.

Abstract: The present invention teaches methods, systems and articles of manufacture for embedding information within the vertical blanking interval (VBI) of a video signal. Such embedded data may be operative for the control of a set-top-box receiver, VCR, DVD player/recorder, computer or television, or may contain software which may be installed on a receiver unit. Embedded data may include electronic signatures which identify the source of a video signal and may be used as a copy-protection message. The information is inserted into closed caption (CC1) bandwidth. The term CC1 bandwidth refers to the capacity for insertion of closed caption data within Channel 1 of the Line-21 (VBI) of the video program. The CC1 band is especially suited for use in embedding data both because CC1 data is invisible to content viewers and because the United States and other nations require CC1 content to be transmitted with all publicly distributed video content.

Abstract: According to the present invention, methods and apparatus for performing efficient inverse transform operations are provided. Zero patterns are identified in a block of transform coefficients to derive zero pattern information. Using the zero pattern information, inverse transform operations are performed on a subset of the columns of the block of transform coefficients. Zero patterns can optionally be identified in the resulting block. One-dimensional inverse transform operations are then performed on the rows of the resulting block to complete the inverse transform. In another example, one-dimensional inverse transform operations can be performed first on the rows and then on the columns.
