Method And Apparatus For Fast V.90 Modem Startup

View page
US Patent:
RE42661, Aug 30, 2011
Filed:
Sep 28, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/586907
Inventors:
Sverrir Olafsson - Newport Beach CA, US
Keith Chu - Mission Viejo CA, US
Burk Beadle - Irving CA, US
Assignee:
V-DOT Technologies, LLC - Tyler TX
International Classification:
H04M 11/00
H04B 1/38
US Classification:
379 9332, 379 9331, 379 9328, 375222
Abstract:
A fast startup procedure for a modem system utilizes known characteristics of a previously established communication channel to reduce the initialization period associated with subsequent connections over the same channel. In response to the establishment of a call, the modem devices determine whether the fast connect protocol is supported. If so, then the called modem transmits a modified answer tone to the calling modem. The calling modem analyzes the signal received in response to the modified answer tone to determine whether characteristics of the current channel are similar to stored characteristics associated with a previous connection over the same channel. If a channel “match” is found, then the modem devices carry out a fast initialization routine that eliminates, abbreviates, or modifies a number of procedures or protocols that are carried out in conventional modem startup processes.

Systems And Methods For Network Facsimile Transmissions

View page
US Patent:
20100208723, Aug 19, 2010
Filed:
Feb 13, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/371406
Inventors:
Sverrir Olafsson - Newport Beach CA, US
International Classification:
H04L 12/66
US Classification:
370352
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for sending and receiving facsimile transmissions in a voice-over-IP system. In certain embodiments, a facsimile machine may include a network interface and a call set up protocol client configured to interface with a call set up protocol server. The call set up protocol client may communicate with the call set up protocol server using the network interface to establish a communication channel with the public switched telephone network. The call set up protocol client may operate according to the session initiation protocol. The facsimile machine may be configured to send and receive facsimile transmissions according to the T.30 protocol. In alternative embodiments, the facsimile machine may be configured to send and receive facsimile transmissions according to the T.38 protocol.

Systems And Methods For Stereo Echo Cancellation

View page
US Patent:
20120170755, Jul 5, 2012
Filed:
Jan 5, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/344510
Inventors:
Ragnar H. Jonsson - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Sverrir Olafsson - Newport Beach CA, US
Trausti Thormundsson - Irvine CA, US
International Classification:
H04R 5/00
H04M 1/00
H04B 3/20
US Classification:
381 1, 381 66, 37939201
Abstract:
Acoustic echoes in communications systems are distracting and undesirable. Acoustic echoes occur in communications systems where sound produced by a speaker is picked up by a microphone in a communications system. In a stereo playback environment, echo cancellation techniques become more complicated. Echo cancellation can be performed by performing echo cancellation on a center signal, which is the sum of a left channel signal and the right channel signal, or left signal and a difference signal, which is the difference of the right channel signal and the left channel signal. The adaptation rates of the two echo cancellers meet certain constraints to prevent degeneracies in the echo cancellation system.

Multiple Microphone Support For Earbud Headsets

US Patent:
20130034237, Feb 7, 2013
Filed:
Jul 27, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/560290
Inventors:
Sverrir Olafsson - Newport Beach CA, US
Jonathan Chien - Tustin CA, US
Lorenzo Crespi - Costa Mesa CA, US
Trausti Thormundsson - Irvine CA, US
James Bunde Villadsen Skov - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Andrew B. Webster - Irvine CA, US
Eitan David - Irvine CA, US
International Classification:
G10K 11/16
H04R 1/10
US Classification:
381 74
Abstract:
A system for improved audio in a headset comprising a first headset microphone generating a first signal. A second headset microphone generating a second signal. A multiplexer coupled to the first headset microphone and the second headset microphone for multiplexing the first signal and the second signal. A power extractor for extracting power for use by one or more of the multiplexer, the first headset microphone and the second headset microphone. A demultiplexer for extracting the first signal and the second signal. A signal processor for generating a noise reduced microphone signal. An audio subsystem for receiving the noise reduced microphone signal and for generating speaker signals for a first headphone speaker and a second headphone speaker.
