This paper presents empirical results of cable noise reduction techniques as demonstrated in a TEM cell operating with radiated fields from 2 200 MHz. It is the second part of a two-paper series. The first paper discussed cable types and shield connections. In this second paper, the effects of load and source resistances and chassis connections are examined. For each topic, well established the...

We demonstrate the successful transmission of Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) signals in the 600 MHz and 5.5 GHz frequency bands. Both signals are generated simultaneously using an optical harmonic up-conversion of the DOCSIS signal provided by a cable modem termination system (CMTS). The optical signal is transmitted over 10 km SSMF. After photo-detection, the wireline...

The FCC is now engaged in resolving whether to require cable system operators who provide cable modem service to residential users to furnish cable transmission capacity to unaffiliated Internet Service Providers. To resolve this controversy, the FCC has expressed a desire " to develop an analytical approach that is, to the extent possible, consistent across multiple platforms. " This comment m...

Today’s undersea cable systems are increasingly complex and part of a much larger network topology that spans the continents. Operational efficiency can be significantly enhanced by integrating the undersea paths seamlessly into the overall network architecture. This implies that it is desirable to have one control plane for both the terrestrial and undersea parts of the network, one network ma...

Cables, such as are used in cable-stayed bridges, suspension bridges, guy wires, transmission lines, and flexible space structures, are prone to vibration due to their low inherent damping characteristics. The mitigation of cable vibration is necessary to minimize negative impact. Transversely-attached passive viscous dampers have been implemented on some cables to dampen vibration. However, it...

In marine sediments cathodic oxygen reduction at the sediment surface can be coupled to anodic sulfide oxidation in deeper anoxic layers through electrical currents mediated by filamentous, multicellular bacteria of the Desulfobulbaceae family, the so-called cable bacteria. Until now, cable bacteria have only been reported from marine environments. In this study, we demonstrate that cable bacte...

A strong earthquake occurred in 2002 off-shore from the northern coast of Sicily in the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea (Italy), and was followed by a series of hundreds of aftershocks. Communications through the fibre-optic cable between Palermo and Rome were interrupted a few hours after the occurrence of the main shock. After the required technical checks, the failure point was found a few kilometre...

This paper develops and estimates a dynamic model of consumer behavior with switching costs in the market for paid television services. It is hypothesized that consumer choices of cable versus satellite providers are affected by the presence of switching costs, which in turn justifies forward-looking consumer behavior. The model allows for persistently heterogeneous consumer preferences. I esti...

The development of cerclage systems for fixation of greater trochanteric osteotomies has progressed from monofilament wires to multifilament cables to cable grip and cable plate systems. Cerclage wires and cables have various clinical indications, including fixation for fractures and for trochanteric osteotomy in hip arthroplasty. To achieve stable fixation and eventual union of the trochanteri...

The cable harness manufacturing industry has been growing in a fast pace during the recent years in India. Cable harnesses are used to link together all the electrical components scattered throughout any electrical equipment. Cable harness manufacturing involves a series of operations which are to be carried out in a proper sequence to make a good quality harness. In real time scenario, high vo...
