Title: Innovations of Robert Scott McClennon
Introduction
Robert Scott McClennon is a notable inventor based in Ottawa, Canada. He holds a total of 4 patents that showcase his contributions to modem technology. His work primarily focuses on adaptive power management and data traffic prediction in modems.
Latest Patents
Among his latest patents is a "Method and apparatus for adaptive power management in a modem." This invention includes a data traffic predictor that features a data traffic monitor, a periodicity detector, and a power mode controller. The data traffic monitor observes incoming data to the modem. If the periodicity detector identifies that the data is substantially periodic, indicating isochronous data traffic, the power mode controller adjusts the modem's power mode to a quiescent state. This allows the modem to operate at a minimum data rate while still accommodating the isochronous data traffic. The invention enables low-level control of a modem's power mode, allowing for a quiescent state that does not compromise the quick recovery time to full power when necessary.
Another significant patent is the "Adaptive front end for discrete multitone modem." This adaptive DMT modem assesses subscriber loop conditions during its startup sequence. It performs various loop condition adaptation operations to simplify the filters used in the modem, reduce power consumption, optimize performance, and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) radiated into subscribers' premises.
