20080247423 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING MULTIPLE CLIENT DATA SIGNALS VIA A SIGNAL SERVER SIGNAL - Systems and methods for conveying multiple low-bit-rate data streams over a data transport medium which is configured to transport data in a single, high-bit-rate data stream. In one embodiment, a plurality of low-bit-rate signals are received and a corresponding data rate is determined. Each of the signals is formatted in frames comprising a payload and overhead data. The high-bit-rate signal is also formatted in frames comprising a payload and overhead data, but the frames (including payload and overhead) contain more bits than those of the low-bit-rate frames. The payloads of the low-bit-rate frames are mapped into the payloads of the high-bit-rate frames. The overhead and timing data of the low-bit-rate frames are mapped into the unused portion of the overhead of the high-bit-rate frames. After the high-bit-rate signal is transported, the payload, overhead and timing data of each of the low-bit-rate signals is extracted, and the corresponding signals are reproduced. | 10-09-2008 |
20080310460 | Deterministic Program Clock Reference Re-stamping for Synchronous Bit Rate Adaptation based on Mega-frame Initialization Packet - A system and processes create a transport stream carrying several encapsulated contents, watermarks, and other ancillary data. The transport stream is re-multiplexed while keeping synchronous and deterministic operation. Synchronous deterministic operation allow each derived transport stream to be broadcasted in Single Frequency Networks, as all re-multiplexers have the same signal at the input and selecting the same content generates exactly the same stream in multiple locations. | 12-18-2008 |
20090285243 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECEIVING CALL SIGNALS IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A system and method for dynamically altering detection criterion value at a receiving device based on the portion of a call signal being received. A receiving device is configured to extract a first call signal portion from the call signal, and compare the first call signal portion to a plurality of call information portions, wherein each call information portion has a detection criterion value. If the first call signal portion matches one of the call information portions, the receiving device adjusts the detection criterion value for at least one of the plurality of call information portions, extracts a second call signal portion from the call signal, and compares the second call signal portion to the plurality of information portions. | 11-19-2009 |
20100265970 | Reverse Timestamp Method and Network Node for Clock Recovery - A method of clock recovery of Time Division Multiplex signal in a packet network, wherein a first Provider Edge receives a timing message from a second Provider Edge and upon reception of said timing message a counter of said first Provider Edge is increased. The first Provider Edge sends to the second Provider Edge encapsulated Time Division Multiplex packet traffic and each packet sent to the second Provider Edge causes the counter to decrease. The first Provider Edge compares value of the counter with an Upper Threshold value and with a Low Threshold value and increases a rate of generation of the encapsulation packets if the counter is above said Upper Threshold or reduces the rate of generation of the encapsulation packets if the counter is below said Low Threshold. | 10-21-2010 |
20100296526 | Wireless Methods and Devices Employing Plural-Bit Data Derived from Audio Information - A portable wireless device includes a processor portion, which is adapted to process audio information in two different ways, for two different purposes. One is to help generate a signal that drives a speaker of the device, so that a user can listen thereto. Another is to process audio information to derive plural-bit data therefrom. The device can then take an action based on the derived plural-bit data. In one particular arrangement, the processor is configured as a steganographic decoder. A variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed, including image-based methods, and arrangements employing various types of fingerprinting. | 11-25-2010 |

20090103573 | Voice and Data Exchange Over a Packet Based Network With DTMF - A signal processing system which discriminates between voice signals and data signals modulated by a voiceband carrier. The signal processing system includes a voice exchange, a data exchange and a call discriminator. The voice exchange is capable of exchanging voice signals between a switched circuit network and a packet based network. The signal processing system also includes a data exchange capable of exchanging data signals modulated by a voiceband carrier on the switched circuit network with unmodulated data signal packets on the packet based network. The data exchange is performed by demodulating data signals from the switched circuit network for transmission on the packet based network, and modulating data signal packets from the packet based network for transmission on the switched circuit network. The call discriminator is used to selectively enable the voice exchange and data exchange. | 04-23-2009 |
