Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for supplying a link maintenance function in a D3 type cold state of a network device. SOLUTION: In order that a link maintenance module can maintain a power supply state in a cold power mode, a database software type link maintenance module is individually installed in the hardware of the network device as a separated function from a function of a core CPU in the network device. An auxiliary backup power supply supplies power to a database ink maintenance module, and then a minimum power supply other than the power supply supplying power to the center function of the network device can supply power to an individual link maintenance module in the case of a power-down mode. The database link maintenance module receiving power individually is used for a redundant module with respect to a software type data base link maintenance module. As another method, the database link maintenance module receiving power individually is used for an alternative of a conventional software driver.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To establish communication between two devices via HomePNA network by incorporating a home network filter bridge for connecting a first home network on a first telephone line to a second home network on a second telephone line. SOLUTION: The home network filter bridge 100 is connected between the wire pair of the first telephone line A and the wire pair of the second telephone line B. The first telephone line A supports the first home network consisting of a conventional telephone set 130, a first HomePNA network device 140 and a second HomePNA network device 150 and the second telephone line B supports the second home network consisting of, for example, another telephone set 110 and an xDSL device 120 having a HomePNA networking function. The first and the second telephone lines A and B are connected to a same network interface device.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for accessing the register of a physical layer device designed according to a new standard in an existing network. SOLUTION: The system has an extension protocol layer 20 between a protocol/application layer 10 and an MAC driver 30. The extension protocol layer 20 generates register read/write commands of an extension physical layer device 50 which are then set in a standard Ethernet (R) data packet. The extension physical layer device 50 discriminates these register read/write command packets and takes out a command therefrom. The extension physical layer device 50 embeds a read/write confirmation packet in the standard Ethernet (R) data packet and the extension protocol layer discriminates the standard Ethernet (R) data packet and then takes out an acknowledgment therefrom.

Abstract: A translation system and related method for use with a communications device having a physical layer system and a data link layer system with a media access control layer subsystem and coupleable to a communications network. In one embodiment, the translation system includes a generator that constructs a piggyback packet containing characteristics associated with the physical layer system. The translation system also includes a correlator, coupled to the generator, that receives the piggyback packet and extracts information about the physical layer system. The generator and correlator transmit and receive the piggyback packet without substantially modifying the media access control layer subsystem.

Abstract: Signature apparatus and techniques that make home networking devices, e.g., in-Home Phoneline Network (herein referred to as "HPN") devices, isolation filters, network interface devices, etc., detectable by commercially available metallic loop termination (MLT) test equipment. The invention also provides a method of testing a telephone line for the existence of a signature circuit identifying a home network. The home network signature circuit includes a series combination of a voltage breakdown device (e.g., Zener diodes) and an impedance (e.g., 200K ohm resistor). In operation, the home network signature circuit shunts the tested subscriber line loop with a voltage-dependent impedance in the presence of an appropriate test voltage exceeding 80 volts. Different high voltage thresholds of the voltage breakdown portion and/or different resistance values of the shunt impedance can be implemented in the home network signature device to produce uniquely detectable signatures. In this way, it is possible to remotely differentiate between various types of home network devices if the various types of home network devices include known voltage thresholds and/or shunt impedances. Loop qualification for services such as VDSL could include an automated remote scan from a central office for home network signature devices being served by telephone lines, e.g., existing in the same binder. To sense each of the parallel connected home network signature devices, the test equipment may preferably be made sensitive to the threshold voltage, not to the shunt impedance. The home network signature circuit may simply reside between the tip and ring on an HPN adapter. The home network signature circuit is preferably functional whether or not the network device is powered up. The home network signature circuit, in response to the activation energy signal exceeding a predetermined threshold above 80 volts, will drive an appropriate current back onto the telephone line.

Abstract: An improved rotary hearth furnace having a cylindrical enclosure containing a radially moving belt for transporting pellets containing metal oxide and carbon is disclosed. One or more oxy-fuel burners preferably having a flat flame shape are positioned so as to provide a mixture of fuel and oxidant to the pellets countercurrent to the direction of the pellets. The oxy-fuel burners are operated so as to provide a pre-determined quantity of oxygen in addition to that necessary for combustion so that the additional oxygen oxidizes the carbon monoxide and hydrogen present in the hot combustion gases. Oxygen injectors may also be used to introduce additional oxygen into the furnace. The additional oxygen is strategically injected into the furnace based on thermodynamic modeling of the furnace so that a substantial majority of the fuel is introduced in a reducing zone so that the reducing zone has a fuel-rich atmosphere while the oxidant is primarily introduced in the heating zone so that the heating zone has a fuel-lean atmosphere.
