20090212948 | CONTROL FOR EMBEDDED AND DOOR-MOUNTED ANTENNAS - A system for controlling door-mounted or door-embedded antennas. An antenna, for example, an EAS or an RF antenna, sends interrogation signals which are received by markers located on merchandise within a range of detection, i.e., an “interrogation zone”. Antennas that are mounted on or embedded in a door move along with the motion of the door. Thus, the interrogation zone covered by the antenna's magnetic field is continually changing with the movement of the door. The system and method of the present invention control door-mounted antennas by monitoring the motion of the door upon which the antenna is mounted, and by adjusting the size and breadth of the interrogation zone generated by the antenna accordingly. A processor within a control unit receives positional signals from a position sensor mounted on the moving door, determines whether the interrogation zone should be increased, decreased, shut off, or maintained, and transmits signals to the antenna or to an alarm device, the signal containing interrogation zone modification instructions. | 08-27-2009 |

As an example, the connections of each respective trunk leg may be bonded. Further, the same modulation format and crosstalk vectoring are used for each leg of the trunk. The crosstalk vectoring cancels both far-end crosstalk (FEXT) that couples between connections of a given trunk leg and crossover crosstalk that couples between one trunk leg and another. In addition, logic determines an amount of excess capacity available for each leg of the trunk and controls error correction based on the determined excess capacity. | 01-10-2013 |
20130011142 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXTENDING OPTICAL NETWORK SERVICES ACROSS NON-OPTICAL CHANNELS - An optical communication system comprises a network interface device (NID) having a media converter coupled to an optical fiber of a passive optical network (PON).

Rather than implementing an optical media access control (optical MAC) layer in the NID, an optical MAC layer for handling PON protocols and management is implemented by the CPE, thereby effectively extending the customer end of the PON across at least one non-optical connection to the CPE. By implementing the optical MAC layer at the CPE, the complexity of the NID is reduced thereby lowering the cost of the NID.
