International Classification:

G06K 19/06
G06K 19/00

US Classification:

235494, 235487

Abstract:

A method for data interchange includes summing up data associated with an electronic document to provide summed up data, representing the summed up data as one or more bar codes, and returning the one or more bar codes for display and data capture via a bar code scan from either a video display or a printed version of the one or more bar codes. The electronic document may be of any number of formats. The summing up may include taking data from multiple information fields to create the summed up data. The data may include data tags or a step of adding data tags to the data to assist in data interchange may be performed.

US Classification:

375259, 375256, 375260, 370351, 370352

Abstract:

The present invention provides for a methods, system, and apparatus relating to data transmission. One method of the present invention includes representing data using at least one pulse based on a Gaussian wave form, sending the at least one pulse over an electrically conductive guided media, and recovering the data from the at least one pulse. The present invention can be used in conjunction with telephony applications, cable tv applications, and data bus applications.

Philip T. Kennedy - Cedar Rapids IA, US
Joseph A. Gerke - Cedar Rapids IA, US
David M. Snyder - Cedar Rapids IA, US
Jon G. Stanford - Norway IA, US
Gregory P. Probst - Iowa City IA, US

Assignee:

Lightwaves Systems, Inc. - Cedar Rapids IA

International Classification:

H04B 3/00

US Classification:

375257, 375130

Abstract:

Preparing data for transmission includes determining bit loading per frequency bin based on channel estimation data to create a data symbol, performing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on the interleaved data symbol array, mapping FFT data output sub-channel to a frequency bin to provide frequency mapped data, and performing an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) on the frequency mapped data to provide IFFT frequency mapped data suitable for transmission using one-dimensional amplitude modulated ultra wideband impulses representing the IFFT frequency mapped data. To recover the data a reverse process is used.
