  • Topological mapping using a conductive infrastructure
    Publication number: 20080048669
    Abstract: Described are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for topological mapping using a conductive infrastructure. A conductive infrastructure of a structure is excited with an excitation signal. The radiated signal is received, the radiated signal being based on the excitation signal and an impedance discontinuity within the conductive infrastructure. A location associated with the impedance discontinuity is determined based on the received radiated signal.

  • Systems and methods for reducing noise in ADSL transmissions
    Patent number: 7155007
    Abstract: A system (242) processes asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) signals. The system (242) receives a signal that includes an ADSL signal and transient noise (230). The system (242) isolates the transient noise (230) in the signal and retrieves the ADSL signal from the signal using the isolated transient noise (230).
