US Patent:

8156019, Apr 10, 2012

Filed:

Oct 24, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/977220

Inventors:

Christopher Wilson - Dallas TX, US
Michael Williamson - Frisco TX, US

Assignee:

Nascent Systems, L.P. - Plano TX

International Classification:

G06F 17/22

US Classification:

705 31

Abstract:

A system for generation of accounts payable processing system tax rules is provided. A tax account system generates an account for a tax jurisdiction. An over-tax rule system generates one or more rules for processing a tax amount in excess of a required tax amount associated with the tax jurisdiction. An under-tax rule system generates one or more rules for processing a tax amount that is less than the required tax amount associated with the tax jurisdiction.

Filed:

Sep 29, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/536906

Inventors:

Michael D. Smith - Flower Mound TX
Michael R. Williamson - Dallas TX

Assignee:

Dallas Semiconductor Corporation - Dallas TX

International Classification:

H04L 100
H04L 700

US Classification:

375348

Abstract:

A circuit and method of adjusting a sample point for a data stream to account for intersymbol interference is disclosed herein. The system averages the amount of intersymbol interference occurring for a specific data pattern and uses this average value which reflects a phase difference between the leading edges of two pulses to determine at which clock count a sync pulse should issue to sample and read a data value.

Inventors:

Michael D. Smith - Flower Mound TX
Michael R. Williamson - Dallas TX

Assignee:

Dallas Semiconductor Corporation - Dallas TX

International Classification:

H04L 700

US Classification:

327 19

Abstract:

A transmission line sampling circuit for a T1 line is disclosed. A multi phase oscillator is connected to a plurality of state machines which are connected in parallel to a transmission line. The use of a plurality of state machines to sample the transmission line effectively increases the sample rate of the transmission line beyond that which can ordinarily be supported by a single phase oscillator running at the same frequency of the multi phase oscillator. The outputs of the plurality of state machines are provided to an arbitrator and to a MUX wherein the arbitrator decides which of the four state machines outputs should be switched through the MUX and produced transmitted on an output line.

6/653212

Inventors:

Michael R. Williamson - Dallas TX

Assignee:

VMX, Inc. - Richardson TX

International Classification:

H04B 346

US Classification:

1791753R

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for determining the integrity of a communications channel includes a first communications system connected to a communications channel with a receiving communications system attached to the other end of the chennel. The first communications system generates a discrete frequency at the low end of the bandwidth for reception by the receiving system. The receiving system measures the frequency and the power level of the first tone. The first communications system then inhibits transmission for a predetermined duration of time during which the receiving system measures the noise floor of the communications channel. A second tone is then generated at the high end of the channel bandwidth for reception by the receiving system. The receiving system then compares the measured power levels of the first and second tone and the noise floor with predetermined criteria and determines the integrity of the communications channel from this comparison. If the integrity meets a prescribed level, voice messages are transmitted from the first communications system to the receiving communications system.

International Classification:

H04W 16/28
H01Q 1/24
H01Q 3/00
H04W 88/10

Abstract:

A telecommunications system is provided that is controllably operable as a sectorized antenna system and as an omnidirectional antenna system without requiring hardware reconfiguration. The telecommunications system includes a phase correlation measurement unit that can be between a sectorized antenna sub-system and a remotely located RF source site. The phase correlation measurement unit can be coupled to the RF source site over at least one feed line. The phase correlation measurement unit can ouptut signals for controlling a phase shifter at the RF source site for phase shifting downlink signals and for causing operation of the sectorized antenna sub-system as an omnidirectional antenna sub-system. In a sectorized operation mode, the phase correlation measurement unit and the phase shifter can be inactivated.
