20120224674 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HANDLING CROSSTALK VECTORING FAILURES IN MULTI-CARD VECTORING GROUPS - A communication system comprises a plurality of line cards having transceivers coupled to a plurality of subscriber lines. Each line card has at least one active transceiver within the same vectoring group, and each line card also has vector logic capable of cancelling crosstalk induced by an active transceiver that is a member of the vectoring group. In the event of a vectoring fault that prevents a line card from receiving vectoring information from at least on other line card, the vector logic is configured to disable vectoring for the interferers affected by the error in order to prevent vectoring operations based on obsolete vectoring coefficients from adversely affecting the quality of the communicated signals. The transceivers communicating signals affected by the suspended vectoring operations are also configured to adjust their constellation density profiles, thereby reducing their data rates, to accommodate the increased noise level resulting from the loss of vectoring. By handling the vectoring fault in such manner, communication can continue without requiring a retrain. | 09-06-2012 |
20120224683 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS SELECTIVELY EXCLUDING TONES FROM VECTORING - A discrete multi-tone (DMT) transceiver communicates tones across a subscriber line. Vectoring is employed in an effort to reduce the effects of crosstalk. However, for some tones, such as tones significantly affected by radio frequency interference (RFI) or other forms of alien noise, vectoring may actually introduce distortions such that the vectoring degrades rather than improves overall signal quality. Control logic of the DMT transceiver is configured to sense when tones are affected by significant levels of alien noise and to exclude such tones from vectoring, thereby improving signal quality for such tones. The control logic also may lower the constellation densities of such tones in order to accommodate the vectoring exclusions applied to such tones. | 09-06-2012 |
20120243404 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATING VECTORING STREAMS IN MULTI-CARD VECTORING GROUPS - A communication system comprises a plurality of line cards having transceivers coupled to a plurality of subscriber lines. Each line card has at least one active transceiver within the same vectoring group, and each line card also has vector logic capable of cancelling crosstalk induced by an active transceiver that is a member of the vectoring group. Further, the line cards are coupled to one another via a ring connection across which vectoring information is passed from one line card to the next. In the event of a failure of one of the line cards, the failed card is bypassed by the vectoring stream so that the operational line cards can continue crosstalk vectoring operations despite such failure. | 09-27-2012 |
20120250490 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BYPASSING FAILED LINE CARDS IN MULTI-CARD VECTORING GROUPS - A communication system comprises a plurality of line cards having transceivers coupled to a plurality of subscriber lines.

Further, the line cards are coupled to one another via a ring connection across which vectoring information is passed from one line card to the next. In the event of a failure of one of the line cards, the failed card is bypassed by the vectoring stream so that the operational line cards can continue crosstalk vectoring operations despite such failure. | 10-04-2012 |
20120250491 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADJUSTING TIME SLOTS OF VECTORING STREAMS BASED ON BIT LOADING - A communication system comprises a plurality of line cards having transceivers coupled to a plurality of subscriber lines. Each line card has at least one transceiver within the same vectoring group, and each line card also has vector logic capable of cancelling crosstalk induced by a tone communicated by any member of the vector group. Further, the line cards are coupled to one another via a data connection across which a vectoring stream carrying vectoring information from one line card to the next. The bandwidth of the vectoring stream is reduced by dynamically adjusting time slots of the vectoring stream based on bit loading for the communicated tones. | 10-04-2012 |
20120250492 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MOVING DSL LAUNCH POINTS - A system for scaling vectored DSLAM deployments has a DSLAM interfaced with a cross-connect apparatus. The DSLAM receives POTS signals from at least one bridge connection assembly. When a DSLAM is added at the cross-connect facility, at least one connector of the bridge connection assembly is disconnected from an existing DSLAM and is interfaced with the newly-added DSLAM. By moving the connector to the newly-added DSLAM, a batch of downstream distribution pairs (which are preferably bound by a single distribution cable) are effectively moved from the existing DSLAM to the new DSLAM without having to reconfigure the jumpers of the cross-connect apparatus. Accordingly, it is possible to scale the cross-connect facility to any number of vectored DSLAMs while limiting vector group sizes, thereby reducing the complexity of vectoring operations, without having to perform complex reconfigurations of the cross-connect apparatus. | 10-04-2012 |

20120271568 | Ultrasonic Flow Meter - A method and apparatus utilizing a pair of ultrasonic transducers simultaneously transmitting and receiving to measure the mean time of flight of an ultrasonic signal over a given distance, and thereby the speed of sound of a fluid in a conduit at a given temperature, independent of flow rate, and the flow rate of the fluid. A signal source simultaneously drives an upstream transducer and a downstream transducer, each of which receive the signal transmitted by the other. The difference between the upstream and downstream signals is substantially invariant with rate of flow of the fluid, and measurement of parameters of this signal takes into account the speed of sound of the fluid. The time of flight for the upstream and downstream signals can then be used to calculate the flow rate. A phase locked loop providing feedback from the received signals to the signal source is utilized to maintain a predetermined number of cycles of the difference signal between the transducers, thereby automatically adjusting for variations of the speed of sound in the fluid in response to temperature changes. | 10-25-2012 |
