A system is configured to facilitate bidirectional voice communication between a number of data and/or telephony devices.

Modem with voice processing capability

Provided are systems and methods for providing enhanced touch sensing. One system providing enhanced touch sensing includes a multi-mode touch screen and a processor configured to apply at least one test signal to a sense element of the multi-mode touch screen, detect at least one return signal from the sense element, and then determine a relative position of an object corresponding to the at least one return signal, the multi-mode touch screen being capable of sensing the first object using first and second detection modes. One multi-mode touch screen comprises a multi-mode multi-touch touch screen. One processor is configured to apply an adaptive test signal to a sense element of a touch screen.

Systems and methods for providing enhanced touch sensing

A network gateway is configured to facilitate on line and off line bi-directional communication between a number of near end data and telephony devices with far end data termination devices via a hybrid fiber coaxial network and a cable modem termination system. The described network gateway combines a QAM receiver, a transmitter, a DOCSIS MAC, a CPU, a voice and audio processor, a voice synchronizer, an Ethernet MAC, and a USB controller to provide high performance and robust operation.

A communications system is configured with a plurality of media terminal adapters, a telephone line, and a gateway configured to exchange voice and data packets between a network and each of the media terminal adapters over the telephone line. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.

Cable modem with voice processing capability

A hand-held, PCMCIA cellular radio modem card is described which uses a non-standard power output level. The non-standard power output is defined as the maximum RF power attainable such that the current drawn by the power amplifier does not exceed 400 mA. This definition permits the use of the wireless modem inside hand-held computing devices without the use of an additional battery pack extension.

A slotted CSMA contention technique and arrangement is disclosed for use in a radio data communications systems having a central base station/controller and a plurality of remote data terminals operating over inbound and outbound channels. The channels are divided into major frames, which are further divided into minor frames, which in turn are divided into microslots. An arrangement is devised whereby channel access may be prioritized as between periodic and aperiodic messages by advantageously utilizing the occurrence of these microslots so as to give priority to the former while completely eliminating collisions therebetween and, at the same time, optimally controlling the efficiency of the system as a whole.
