20100262928 | SMART OBJECT BASED GUI FOR TOUCH INPUT DEVICES - The mobile terminal, configured to execute a variety of functions, has a touch panel display and circuitry for controlling the touch panel display and responding to touching of the touch panel display. The touch panel display is configured to display a number of functional icons, each of which is associated with one of the functions of the mobile terminal. When the circuitry detects an icon being dragged into a first region which is a designated area of the touch panel display and tapped or released by a user, the mobile terminal executes the function with which the icon is associated. Further, when a destination icon associated with contact information is displayed and the circuitry detects that an icon is dragged and overlapped with the destination icon, the mobile terminal executes the function with which the icon is associated with respect to the contact information. | 10-14-2010 |
20110111737 | METHOD OF REGISTERING A MOBILE STATION WITH A SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE - A method of registering a mobile station with a website includes the steps of receiving an identification of the mobile station at the website and, determining whether or not the mobile station is already registered at the website, based on the received identification. Upon determining that the mobile station is not already registered, the website interacts with a user of the mobile station to obtain information from the user to register the mobile station and association thereof with the user at the website. Upon completion of registering of the mobile station at the website, a message is sent to the mobile station, indicating the registration of the mobile station with the website. | 05-12-2011 |
20110161880 | BROWSER BASED OBJECTS FOR COPYING AND SENDING OPERATIONS - A disclosed method of transferring information between application programs on a mobile device may involve executing a browser application program on the mobile device to display a page containing one or more objects on a touch panel display; responsive to user touching of the display, identifying an object from the displayed page as having been selected by the user; and copying the selected object from the displayed page. The method further includes steps of displaying on the display a list of one or more destination programs available for selection and execution on the mobile device. The method may also involve steps of, responsive to user touching of the touch screen display, identifying one destination program as having been selected by the user, and launching the identified program. Then, the copied object is pasted for use in the execution of the identified destination program. | 06-30-2011 |

20080285116 | Managing Gain Tilt in an Optically Amplified Transmission System - A method of managing gain tilt in an optical transmission segment including providing an optical transmission segment having a plurality of fiber optic cable spans and a plurality of repeaters coupled to the fiber optic cable spans. Gain tilt in the optical transmission segment is monitored. If negative gain tilt is accumulated at a repeater location in the transmission segment, the repeater at the repeater location is replaced with a higher gain repeater having a higher nominal gain value than the nominal gain value of the repeater being replaced. | 11-20-2008 |
20080309925 | System and Method for Monitoring an Optical Communication System - A monitoring system and method may be used to monitor an optical communication system. A monitoring system and method may be used to derive loop gain data sets from optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) or coherent optical time domain reflectometry (COTDR) data. A monitoring system and method may also use differential monitoring techniques to obtain data representing gain tilt in the transmission system and to locate an anomalous loss or gain in the transmission system. | 12-18-2008 |
20090028566 | System and Method for Signaling Between Elements in an Undersea Optical Communication System and System Incorporating the Same - A system for signaling between elements in an undersea optical communication system including a cable signal generator. The signal generator includes line current modulation circuitry configured to impart modulation in line current provided on a power conductor of the transmission cable. A method of signaling between elements in an undersea optical communication system includes modulating a line current through an element and detecting the modulated current. | 01-29-2009 |
20090175617 | Apparatus and Method for Commissioning an Optical Transmission System - An apparatus and method directed to testing and optimizing performance of an optical transmission system is disclosed, including at least one broadband dispersion compensation unit (DCU) or at least one depolarization device. The depolarization device may be used alone or in combination with the at least one broadband DCU. A method for optimizing performance of data channels in initial loading (IL) and full loading (FL) configurations of the optical transmission system is also disclosed. | 07-09-2009 |
20090214214 | Optical Fiber Transmission System with Noise Loading - A system and method for loading unutilized channels of a WDM system with noise to improve system performance. A transmitter amplifier may impart noise to unutilized channels by reducing amplifier input or providing feedback of the amplifier output. Noise signals may also be looped back to the transmitter from received signals. | 08-27-2009 |
20100008672 | Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer Including Reconfigurable Filters and System Including the Same - An optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) and system incorporating the same for maintaining loading of WDM channels with loading signals or information signals when signals are added or dropped. The OADM may include reconfigurable band pass filters having a transmittance characteristic controllable using a command signal. Selective filtering of loading signals and/or information signals received from branch and trunk paths allows an output WDM signal including information signals on utilized channels and loading signals on all unutilized channels. | 01-14-2010 |
20100290786 | Branching Configuration Including Separate Branching Unit and Predetermined Wavelength Filter Unit and System and Method Including the Same - In general, a branching configuration used in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical communication system includes a branching unit (BU) and a separate predetermined wavelength filter (PWF) unit. The PWF unit may include wavelength selective elements (e.g., filters) for providing a desired wavelength allocation and may also include optical connections (e.g. optical couplers) for coupling the allocated wavelengths between trunk and branch paths in the WDM system. The PWF unit is physically separate from an associated BU but coupled adjacent the BU. | 11-18-2010 |
20110200322 | Flexible Branching Unit and System Including the Same - Fault tolerance may be achieved in a branched optical communication system such that a fault in one optical path may not affect optical signals coupled from a healthy optical path. In general, a flexible branching unit is configured, when adding and dropping channels, to select channels from a healthy path and not from the faulty path (e.g., a trunk path or a branch path) to prevent non-uniform channel loading on the trunk path after the branching unit. In this manner, a fault detected on the trunk path may not affect signals from the branch path and a fault detected on the branch path may not affect signals from the trunk path, thereby providing fault tolerance. A flexible branching unit may also be capable of adjusting the number and selection of channels that are added and dropped at the branching unit. | 08-18-2011 |
