Abstract
Input data is encoded using a look-up table and then transmitted over a conductive transmission medium as a series of electrical pulses. The look-up table includes data elements. The length of each pulse is calibrated to correspond to one of the data elements in the look-up table. Upon receipt at another end of the transmission medium, the data is decoded using a look-up table. This decoding includes measuring the length of each received pulse to match the measured length to a corresponding one of the data elements in the look-up table.

1-20. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving, from an circuit, a data stream containing binary data that corresponds to elements used by at least one application to represent functionality or content;
- selecting a look-up table that corresponds to the at least one application, the selected look-up table being selected from a plurality of look-up tables each configured for use with at least one corresponding application by providing a corresponding pulse length for elements used by the corresponding application;
- determining, using the selected look-up table, pulse lengths for the elements used by the at least one application;
- and
- generating, on a conductive media, electrical pulses in response to the determined pulse lengths.

A method comprising:
- receiving, from a conductive media, electrical pulses having different pulse lengths, the electrical pulses representing a data stream containing binary data that corresponds to elements used by at least one application;
- selecting a look-up table that corresponds to the at least one application, the selected look-up table being selected from a plurality of look-up tables each configured for use with at least one corresponding application by providing a corresponding pulse length for elements used by the corresponding application;
- determining, using the selected look-up table, the elements from the pulse lengths;
- and
- generating the data stream containing binary data from the determined elements.
