US Patent:

20110235285, Sep 29, 2011

Filed:

Mar 23, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/069481

Inventors:

Thomas Cloonan - Lisle IL, US
Gregory J. Cyr - Winfield IL, US

International Classification:

H05K 7/00

US Classification:

361748, 36167901

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses for reducing connection interference within and across adjacent interfaces are provided. An interface includes ports arranged along at least a first axis and second axis. The ports on the first axis are offset from the ports on the second axis. When two interfaces are provided adjacent to each other, the ports on the last axis of the first circuit board are offset from the ports on the first axis of the second circuit board.

Appl. No.:

8/362061

Inventors:

Gregory J. Cyr - Winfield IL

Assignee:

AT&T Corp - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04Q 1104

US Classification:

370 56

Abstract:

First multiplexers have inputs connected to communication channels which carry inbound digital words. The output of each of the first multiplexers is coupled to a control buffer that has its output connected to a data input of a random access memory (RAM) of M columns and N rows. The RAM is capable of concurrently storing a digital word entered on each of its data inputs during each clock cycle. During a clock cycle each control buffer: (a) stores an associated inbound word received from a first multiplexer, (b) transmits the associated inbound word to a respective input of the RAM, or (c) does both (a) and (b). The control buffer operates to cause each column in the RAM to be completely filled with inbound words before another column in the RAM receives any inbound words. The packing of the RAM to avoid empty or "fill" cells makes the reading or withdrawing of information straightforward.

International Classification:

H04L 1256

US Classification:

370 56

Abstract:

A high capacity packet switch is implemented using an expansion module that divides an incoming packet cell into a plurality of segments and supplies the segments, based on their sequential order, to respective ones of a plurality of concentrator units contained in the expansion module. Each concentrator unit includes a plurality of concentrator logic units and one of those logic units accepts a segment for storage based on routing information contained in the packet cell. The stored segments forming a packet cell are thereafter unloaded and recombined in proper sequence for routing to a packet switch module, which then forwards the packet cell toward its destination.

Appl. No.:

17/674390

Inventors:

- Suwanee GA, US
Gregory J. CYR - Winfield IL, US

Assignee:

ARRIS Enterprises LLC - Suwanee GA

International Classification:

H04L 12/28
H04J 3/06

Abstract:

A method for adjusting a phase error includes a first device detecting a phase error at a timing interface of the first device. The first device modifying a DOCSIS timing protocol parameter based upon the detected phase error. The first device causing a modification of a second device's timestamp output in a manner based upon the detected phase error by the modification of the DOCSIS timing protocol parameter.

Assignee:

ARRIS Enterprises LLC - Suwanee GA

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

Abstract:

Methods and systems that reduce power usage in a CATV network. Power usage may be reduced by temporally adjusting the power output of amplifiers in the network. The power output of one or more amplifiers in the network are preferably adjusted based on patterns of temporal usage of the network.

International Classification:

H04L 12/911
H04L 29/14

Abstract:

Particular embodiments provide an N+0 sharing scheme for networks. The N+0 sharing scheme includes no dedicated spare among a group of active elements. Each active element may provide service to a medium, which may be associated with a medium. When a failure to one of the active elements occurs, at least one of the working active elements takes the workload of the failed active element. The cost of N+0 sharing is a reduced per medium (e.g., service group) capacity during a failure. That is, some service groups may receive less bandwidth from the active element that is used in the sharing scheme to compensate for the failure. However, this may be preferable to service operators compared to the additional cost of including a spare for the group of active elements, or the complete loss of service that occurs when a failure occurs without a failure recovery scheme.
