US Patent:

7109424, Sep 19, 2006

Filed:

Jul 9, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/887718

Inventors:

Ronald A Nordin - Naperville IL, US
David R Hawkins - Sugar Hill GA, US
Michael V. Doorhy - Mokena IL, US
Jack D. Tison - Bourbonnais IL, US

Scott R. Hartman - Oak Forest IL, US

Assignee:

Panduit Corp. - Tinley Park IL

International Classification:

H01B 11/02

US Classification:

174113R, 174117 F, 174117 FF, 174117 R, 174 27

Abstract:

Systems and methods for decreasing alien crosstalk use enhanced patch cords for introducing additional attenuation. The enhanced patch cords are preferably shielded to reduce alien crosstalk down their lengths and also attenuate signals passing therethrough to a greater extent than standard communication patch cords. The interaction of two enhanced patch cords results in two suppression steps for alien crosstalk and only one suppression step for intended signal passing through a communication cable.

International Classification:

H01B 11/02

US Classification:

174113R

Abstract:

Communication cables are provided in which a core lay length of the cable varies along the cable length. The cable may be provided with different segments that have different core lay lengths. It is desirable for neighboring core lay lengths in a cable to differ by a factor of two, to enable a reduction in power-sum alien near-end crosstalk (PSANEXT) when two cables are installed alongside one another. Segments of the cable having different core lay lengths may be spaced periodically along the length of the cable, and the periodicity of the spacing may be altered by a jitter distance. The introduction of jitter into the periodicity of the spacing of the segments increases the likelihood that a beneficial placement of core lay lengths will occur when two or more cables are installed alongside one another.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 735

Abstract:

Systems and methods for determining one or more vehicles that are desirable for stocking an inventory of a dealer may include receiving one or more vehicle purchasing parameters from a dealer; receiving one or more behavior metrics associated with one or more consumers of at least one of the dealer, a vehicle wholesaler, or a vehicle retailer; determining, based at least in part on the vehicle purchasing parameters and the behavior metrics, one or more vehicles; determining, based at least in part on the vehicle purchasing parameters and the behavior metrics, a justifiable purchase price for the vehicles; determining a location of the vehicles; and determining, based at least in part on the justifiable purchase price and the location of the vehicles, at least a portion of the vehicles for restocking an inventory of the dealer.
