US Classification:

3703951, 370354, 370466

Abstract:

A method of transporting asynchronous transfer mode cells and time-division multiplexed information over a common fiber ring includes receiving a plurality of incoming signals comprising asynchronous transfer mode cells, legacy data, or time-division multiplexed information, formatting the plurality of incoming signals into a first plurality of incoming transport signals comprising asynchronous transfer mode cells and a second plurality of incoming transport signals comprising time-division multiplexed information, constructing from the first plurality of incoming transport signals a first outgoing synchronous transfer mode signal comprising at least one asynchronous transfer mode cell, constructing from the second plurality of incoming transport signals a second outgoing synchronous transfer mode signal comprising time-division multiplexed information, and transmitting the first and second outgoing synchronous transfer mode signals over a common fiber ring.

International Classification:

A41D 2504

US Classification:

24 7, 24 34, 24 9, 24 669, 24115 H

Abstract:

A clothing protective device which is particularly adapted to be worn by a man, woman or child, and which in particular will assist in the protection of clothing while dining or engaging in other activities which may stain clothes. In essence, the device is essentially in the form of a so-called napkin holder which can be readily transported in a clothing pocket or a purse.

Appl. No.:

09/326142

Inventors:

David X. Chen - Plano TX
Edward T. Sullivan - Highland Village TX
Alexander A. Smith - Carrollton TX
Gary F. Chard - Richardson TX

Assignee:

Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. - Richardson TX

International Classification:

H04L 1256

US Classification:

3703951, 370392

Abstract:

A system includes a communication device that includes a number of interface cards and a switching complex. Upon receiving a data signal, an input card modifies header bits of the data signal to identify an input port on which the data signal was received. The switching complex uses the modified header bits to communicate the data signal to an output card and associated output port. In a particular embodiment, the switching complex may also modify header bits to identify the input card.

Wayne R. Sankey - Plano TX

Assignee:

Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. - Richardson TX

International Classification:

H04L 1228

US Classification:

370392, 370401, 370535, 370539

Abstract:

A method and system for transporting traffic in a packet-switched network segments high priority pass-through traffic from low priority pass-through traffic. The high priority pass-through traffic is transmitted on an egress link preferentially over the low priority pass-through traffic and ingress high priority local traffic. The ingress high priority local traffic is transmitted on the egress link preferentially over the low priority pass-through traffic.

Assignee:

Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. - Richardson TX

International Classification:

H04J 314

US Classification:

370220, 370244, 370252, 370255

Abstract:

A system is provided for providing a protection path for connection-oriented signals in a telecommunications network comprising a plurality of nodes. The system includes a source node, a destination node and a penultimate node. The source node is operable to transmit traffic. The destination node is operable to receive traffic from the source node. The penultimate node is operable to receive traffic from the source node, to transmit traffic directly to the destination node, to designate one of the nodes as a reflector and to generate a first segment of a protection path from the penultimate node through the reflector to the destination node.

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370389, 370401, 370412, 370230, 370415

Abstract:

A method and system for transporting traffic having disparate qualities of service classes across a packet-switched network includes receiving at an ingress node of a network a plurality of packets each comprising a quality of service (QoS) class defined externally to the network. Packets having a QoS class comprising delay bound guarantees and a low drop priority are combined into a first internal QoS class. Packets having a QoS class comprising a flexible drop priority and no delay bound guarantees are combined into a second internal QoS class. Packets having a QoS class including no delivery guarantees are combined into a third internal QoS class. The packets are transmitted in the network based on their internal QoS class.
