Disclosed are Ethernet-based vehicle control system and method. The system includes: a router for connecting a vehicle internal network and a vehicle external network when the vehicle internal network is formed by connecting an engine and a vehicle electronic element including a controller and a sensor; and a remote start module for performing remote start based on a remote start signal transmitted from a remote controller through the vehicle external network, wherein whether or not to perform the remote start is determined based on drive system state information generated by the vehicle electronic element and transferred via the router. When performing a remote start is controlled in response to an engine RPM during the remote start, efficient management of engine protection and fuel consumption can be achieved. When performing a remote start is controlled in response to the position of the transmission, safe remote start can be achieved.

A system that receives a line encoded data stream from a source. The system has a de-serializer for de-serializing a line encoded data stream to generate a raw parallel data stream. The system has a serializer for serializing the raw parallel data stream. The system has a parallel data generator configured to generate another raw parallel data stream.

Disclosed are a real number M-ary signal encoding method, where M is a real number having N time dimensions and L frequency dimensions, and an encoding apparatus using the encoding method. The real number M-ary encoding apparatus according to the present invention comprises a coding unit which codes every K (K is an integer) binary bit units of binary data DATA to generate a first input code and a second input code, a first signal generator which receives the first input code and generates N.sub.1 number of M.sub.1-ary signals, a second signal generator which receives the second input code and generates N.sub.2 number of M.sub.2-ary signals, and a first time division multiplexing module which temporally multiplexes the N.sub.1 number of M.sub.1-ary signals and the N.sub.2 number of M.sub.2-ary signals to generate a real number M-ary signal which utilizes a voltage ratio a (a=A.sub.2/A.sub.1) used for M.sub.1-ary and M.sub.2-ary signals to minimize a transmission error rate.

A receiver includes a receiver circuit to receive a first transition in a first direction, a second transition in a second, different direction after the first transition and a third transition in the first transition after the second transition of a signal. A first time period between the first and third transitions is indicative of a datum to be received. The receiver circuit is also configured to determine a second time period between the first transition and a second transition and to determine an additional datum to be received based at least on the determined second time period between the first and second transitions. Using the determined second time period allows for more information to be received in a reliable manner.

The invention relates to a invention relates to a method and decoding device for receiving an input bit-stream comprising a sequence of n-bit pattern symbols as well as a unique n-bit comma symbol for synchronization, and for generating therefrom a synchronized output comprising a sequence of m-bit pattern words, with m<n. The comma symbol allows detection of bit-skip in the input bit-stream, so that the output to be synchronized to compensate for the bit-skip. The decoding device and method of decoding are particularly simple and may be applied in devices, e.g. in a beam modulator array comprising a plurality of decoding devices, and/or in a lithography system comprising such a beam modulator array, in which space and computational resources are scarce while still providing a synchronization capability.
