Optical Fiber Connection System
View pageUS Patent:
7628544, Dec 8, 2009
Filed:
Sep 9, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/207397
Inventors:
William Riha - Naperville IL, US
Assignee:
AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P. - Reno NV
International Classification:
G02B 6/36
US Classification:
385 53, 385 54, 385 55
Abstract:
An optical fiber connection system detects when proper connection is made between a fiber-optic cable and a bulkhead. A conductive strip on the fiber-optic cable contacts a first and second conductor on the bulkhead upon proper positioning of the bulkhead relative to the fiber-optic cable. The system includes indicators for displaying which of a plurality of termination points is properly terminated. In addition, the system includes alternative embodiments for turning off an energy source feeding the fiber-optic cable, in the event the fiber-optic cable becomes disconnected from the bulkhead.

View pageUS Patent:
8261314, Sep 4, 2012
Filed:
Sep 17, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/561775
Inventors:
William Riha - Naperville IL, US
Assignee:
AT&T Intellectual Property I, LP - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
H04N 7/173
US Classification:
725119, 725116
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a gateway including a controller adapted to transmit media content to a group of set top boxes that are associated with a premises and that each have a presentation device connected thereto where the presentation devices are in proximity to each other, receive a plurality of streams of the media content from a media server where the streams are of the same media content, and apply a delay compensation to delivery of the plurality of streams to one or more set top boxes of the group of set top boxes to synchronize presentation of the media content at each of the presentation devices, where the delay compensation is based on a transmission delay and a receipt delay, where the transmission delay is between each of the group of set top boxes and the gateway, and where the receipt delay is between the gateway and the media server. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Assignee:
AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P. - Reno NV
International Classification:
G06F 21/00
US Classification:
726 22
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a server having a controller to receive a monitoring signal from a network plug-in device where the monitoring signal includes location and identification information associated with the network plug-in device and where the server is remote from the network plug-in device, and determine whether the network plug-in device is in an unauthorized location based at least in part on the monitoring signal. Other embodiments are disclosed.
