Method And System For Enabling Detection Of Signals In The Presence Of Noise

View page
US Patent:
7212252, May 1, 2007
Filed:
Nov 27, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/306360
Inventors:

International Classification:
H04N 5/50
US Classification:
348731, 34082572
Abstract:
A method for transmitting data to a receiver comprises the steps of transmitting a pre-conditioning signal to the receiver, and beginning to transmit at least one data packet to the receiver within a given period after beginning transmission of the pre-conditioning signal.

Richard W. Westerfer - Lower Gwynedd PA, US
David E. Wachob - New Hope PA, US
Assignee:
Worldgate Service, Inc. - Trevose PA
International Classification:
H04N 7/14
US Classification:
348 1401, 348 1402, 348 1408
Abstract:
System and method for providing personal videotelephony in which a plurality of videophones are connected to a communications network that is configured for transmitted video and audio communications. Each of the videophones typically includes a camera, display device, telephone keypad, speaker and microphone all of which are operatively connected. The videophones further include means for selectably receiving and transmitting signals over the communications network, which signals represent images and/or sound, and for selectably displaying the signals representing any received signals representing the images on the display screen, and for playing any received signals representing the sounds on said speaker. Means are also provided for selectably accessing a remote location, such as, but not limited to, another videophone, using information entered or selected by a user of the videophone, and to retrieve the signals representing the images and sounds being transmitted from the remote location. In one or more embodiments the present invention further includes at least one networks operation center to store information related to the operation of the videophones and to facilitate the operation of the videophones.

US Patent:
8089502, Jan 3, 2012
Filed:
Apr 27, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/587994
Inventors:
Hal M. Krisbergh - Meadowbrook PA, US
Joseph E. Augenbraun - Foster City CA, US
Randell E. Jesup - Malvern PA, US
Maire D. Reavy - Malvern PA, US
Randall J. Gort - Malvern PA, US
Navneeth Kannan - Westford MA, US
Whitney D. Blackmon - Holland PA, US
Richard W. Westerfer - Lower Gwynedd PA, US
David E. Wachob - New Hope PA, US
Assignee:
Worldgate Service, Inc. - Trevose PA
International Classification:
H04N 7/14
US Classification:
348 1401, 348 1412
Abstract:
A videophone system providing high resolution video transmission between videophones utilizes compressed video signals and audio signals which may be transmitted through any communications network, with the system providing real time adaptive error recovery and synchronization between the audio and video signals to produce high quality video images and sound. The system is highly resilient, adapting in real time to changing conditions in a network or to network errors due to data corruption or loss that can be produced, for example, by noise or line losses, thereby substantially eliminating fitter, signal packet loss or delay, or other errors which produce signal degradation.

US Patent:
20020170071, Nov 14, 2002
Filed:
Jul 18, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/908134
Inventors:
James Parnell - Westampton NJ, US
Christopher Coonan - Fairless Hills PA, US
Richard Booth - Bensalem PA, US
Whitney Blackmon - Holland PA, US
Charles Wang - Jamison PA, US
International Classification:
H04N007/173
US Classification:
725/130000, 725/105000
Abstract:
A terminal is coupled to a video distribution network headend, and transmits upstream packets to the headend. Each upstream packet has a transmission power. The terminal receives a downstream packet from the headend, indicating a change in power. The terminal calculates an adjusted transmission power, based on the change in power specified in the downstream packet, and sets the transmission power of the upstream packets to the adjusted transmission power. The headend can be coupled to one or more terminals. The headend receives upstream packets from the terminal. The headend senses a received transmission power of each packet, and calculates a weighted average transmission power based on the received transmission powers. The headend calculates a change in transmission power based on the weighted average and a predetermined set point. The headend transmits a downstream packet to the terminal, indicating the change in power.
