Filed:

Nov 1, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/704888

Inventors:

Richard C. Jaworski - Alpharetta GA, US
Robert L. Richards - Roswell GA, US
James E. Barker - Lawrenceville GA, US
Herman B. Elliott - Duluth GA, US

Assignee:

Sunrise Telecom Incorporated - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714704

Abstract:

A system and method for testing a portion of a cable network provides a pattern generator, addresser, forward error corrector, and comparator. The system and method is particularly adapted to testing the upstream channel in a cable network. The pattern generator generates a test signal. The addresser addresses the signal to a known server and also instructs the known server to return the test signal to the test system. The forward error corrector corrects errors introduced in the test signal in transmission from the known server to the test system. The comparator then compares the returned test signal to the originally transmitted test signal to determine the performance of the back channel. Preferably, the comparator uses a bit error rate test to determine the performance of the back channel.

Inventors:

Robert E. Richards - Marietta GA, US

International Classification:

G01C 21/00
G01S 5/00

US Classification:

701 15, 701208

Abstract:

The present invention discloses a method of providing takeoff runway information.

Assignee:

Hayes Microcomputer Products, Inc. - Norcross GA

International Classification:

H04M 320
H04M 1106

US Classification:

379 97

Abstract:

A modem is adapted to accommodate a call waiting feature so that a user can select to continue an ongoing call or accept an incoming call. The modem detects a call waiting signal and generates a call waiting message. Where a call waiting signal is preceded by a loss of carrier, the modem detects the loss of carrier and then detects the presence of energy in a call progress band indicating that a new call is waiting. The modem can be selectably programmed to process the call waiting signal or to provide a call waiting message to a communications software package that can process the call waiting signal. The modem, in conjunction with the communications of software package, responds to the call waiting signal by asking whether the user wants to answer the incoming call or continue with the ongoing communication. The modem generates a programmable default response if the user does not respond within a prescribed time.

Inventors:

Robert E. Richards - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

G11B 1304

US Classification:

369 13

Abstract:

There is disclosed an improved optically readable disk having an optically readable portion arranged on said disk so as to be readable by an optical reading unit and a magnetically readable and writable portion arranged on said disk so as to be both readable and writable by a magnetic read/write unit. The magnetically readable and writable portion of the disk preferably includes data or information recorded thereon defining a desired playback parameter and/or sequence for the data or information optically recorded on the optically readable portion of the disk. Also disclosed is an improved optical disk playback apparatus comprising a drive unit for rotatably driving an optical disk, an optical reading unit operatively arranged for reading data optically recorded on said disk as said disk is rotated and a magnetic read/write unit operatively arranged for both magnetically reading data from and magnetically writing data to a magnetically readable and writable portion of said disk as said disk is rotated. An improved method of playing back data or information optically recorded on a magneto-optical disk is also disclosed.
