Method and system for asymmetric satellite communications for local area networks
InactiveUS6205473B1Efficient communicationIncrease speedError preventionTransmission systemsNon symmetricLow speed
A method and system for providing high-speed, satellite-based information delivery is described. Improved communication channel efficiency is accomplished by employing an asymmetric data flow. The high bandwidth channel capacity of digital satellite systems is used for the download of large volumes of data. While relatively low speed communication channels are used for upstream data requests. The use of separate channels for upstream data and downloaded data provides an increased efficiency of use for typical internet and other electronic information service subscribers. A typical user in such systems generally makes relatively short information requests. These requests are then followed by large amounts of information being transferred to the user's computer in response to the request. The volume of data being downloaded often causes a capacity overload of typically used land lines. This invention solves this problem, without becoming prohibitively expensive, by employing digital satellite dish receivers to receive the high volume of downloaded data and using the relatively low speed communication channels low volume upstream requests. Moreover, this invention is designed to interface with all common communication devices as well as being designed to operate on and with all common computing platforms.

A video processing engine terminates frequency-modulated video signals transported over the so-called third mile (the network segment from the head-end to the access network) for delivery to an end user. In various network architectures, these signals are received at a central office (CO), for the telephone companies; at a fiber node (FN), for MSOs; or at a satellite dish, for satellite networks. By terminating these signals appropriately, high-quality video service can be delivered efficiently to customers over the last mile. Systems and methods for processing these video streams as well as various network architectures that allow the network providers to offer cost effective video services to the mass market are described.

Moisture seal for an F-Type connector
The invention provides a method for moisture sealing the interface between a nut on the leading end of a male F-Type connector and the threaded tubular shaft of the female F connector. The male connector is attached to a coaxial cable and the female is mounted to an outdoor device such as a cable TV splitter, grounding device, satellite dish, or distribution device, amplifier or group. The sealing device includes a compressible portion comprising an elastically compressible member having a cylindrical bore and a conical outer surface. An annular compression ring overlies a portion of the conical outer surface of the compressible portion. The compressible portion is compressed radially inwardly against the shaft of the female F-Type connector as the leading edge of the male F nut is screwed onto the female threaded shaft of the female F-Type connector, providing a pressurized moisture ingress barrier. The compressible portion may have internal 3 / 8-32 threads to mate with threads on the shaft for a more secure seal.

Satellite downstream porting interface API. A novel solution is presented to support various integrated and non-integrated functional blocks within the front-end of a satellite receiver STB (Set Top Box) system. Embedded software, running on an integrated microprocessor within a single chip STB device, is implemented to govern various devices within the satellite STB system. The embedded software may control operational parameters of an external LNB (Low Noise Block) on a satellite dish employed by a user; this may include controlling the polarization of the LNB as well as the associated voltages levels employed by the LNB. The embedded software may also direct the tuning frequency and cut-off frequency of 1 or more SDSs (integrated downstream satellite receivers) receiving output from the satellite dish. The embedded software may also direct many of the various operational parameters of 1 or more SDSs including modulation, code rate, and / or symbol rate of received signals.
