| 7555008 | Method and apparatus for providing a Gigabit Ethernet circuit pack Method and system for providing data transmission with transparency over the Gigabit Ethernet data stream includes receiving the 10 bit code with a data rate of 1,250 Mbits/second from the encoded 8B/10B data and arbitrarily selecting 9 bit codes using a look-up tra... | 06/30/2009 |
| 7480704 | Automatic assignment of addresses to nodes in a network Each node in the network broadcasts its unique identifier to the other nodes. Each node assigns a different network address to each of the nodes based on the unique identifier received from the node. However, each node assigns the network addresses in a common prede... | 01/20/2009 |
| 7457854 | Automatic assignment of addresses to nodes in a network Each node in the network broadcasts it unique identifier to the other nodes. Each node assigns a different network address to each of the nodes based on the unique identifier received from the node. However, each node assigns the network addresses in a common predet... | 11/25/2008 |
| 7447436 | Optical communications using multiplexed single sideband transmission and heterodyne detection A transmitter subsystem generates an optical signal which contains multiple subbands of information. The subbands have different polarizations. For example, in one approach, two or more optical transmitters generate optical signals which have different polarizations... | 11/04/2008 |
| 7346279 | Optical transceiver using heterodyne detection and a transmitted reference clock A heterodyne communication system uses coherent data modulation that is resistant to phase noise. In particular, a pilot tone and reference clock signal are transmitted along with the modulated data to form the basis of an electrical demodulation local oscillator at... | 03/18/2008 |
| 7228077 | Channel gain control for an optical communications system utilizing frequency division multiplexing Attenuation caused by dispersion in an optical fiber communications system is compensated. A number of low-speed channels is to be transmitted across an optical fiber. Each low-speed channel is allocated a different frequency band for transmission. The attenuation c... | 06/05/2007 |
| 7209660 | Optical communications using heterodyne detection An optical communications system includes a receiver subsystem with at least two heterodyne receivers. The receiver subsystem receives a composite optical signal having two or more subbands of information and corresponding tones. An optical splitter splits the compo... | 04/24/2007 |
| 7154914 | Through-timing of data transmitted across an optical communications system utilizing frequency division multiplexing Data is transmitted across an optical fiber communications system by splitting an incoming tributary into multiple low-speed data channels, modulating each of these into a stream of symbols (e.g., by using QAM modulation) and then frequency division multiplexing a n... | 12/26/2006 |
| 7146103 | Optical communications using multiplexed single sideband transmission and heterodyne detection A transmitter subsystem generates an optical signal which contains multiple subbands of information. The subbands have different polarization. For example, in one approach, two or more optical transmitters generate optical signals which have different polarization. ... | 12/05/2006 |
