摘要： A method for building scalable Ethernet switch network and huge Ethernet switch is provided. The switch network is composed of a plurality of tiers of Ethernet switches forming a fat-tree topology. The bottommost tier connects to the end-stations. All switches except those in the top tier are typical IEEE802.1Q switches configured purposefully such that all packets from the end-stations are forwarded upstream to the top tier and are tagged with ingress port information. The top-tier switches possess a novel learning and forwarding capability such that a received packet is forwarded downstream to the destination end-station through one of a plurality of possible paths selected by a load balancing algorithm. The method can also be applied to build an Ethernet switch of a large number of ports.

摘要： A system and methods of using commodity switches to produce a switch fabric are disclosed. The system comprises switches organized in tiers. Each switch is connected to switches in higher tiers via its uplink switch ports and to switches in lower tiers via its downlink switch ports. A packet received from any downlink switch port is forwarded to one of the at least one link aggregation of uplink switch ports. A packet received from any uplink switch port is forwarded according to the first label in the packet. Each switch in the highest tier is configured to insert one or more labels in a packet to be sent out via the switches. A value in a label indicates the switch port to be selected to send out the packet received at a switch.

摘要： A method for automatic audio volume control on a robot is presented. The robot can deliver its audio output at a comfortable and intelligible level to the user according to user's distance and background noise intensity in user's environment. The user's distance is estimated, by using a camera with known focal length and resolution, by using a stereo camera with known focal length and distance between lenses, or by using an electronic ranging device. Background noise intensity is measured by using a microphone and digital signal processing techniques. The audio output volume is adjusted considering the effect of signal attenuation over user's distance and the effect of background noise. The audio output volume adjustment mechanism can be close-looped, based on the measured signal to noise ratio of acoustic echo of the audio output.

摘要： The smart portable device such as a smart phone is equipped with powerful CPU, touch screen, USB socket, etc. The software application running on the smart portable device can convert the user commands received on the graphical user interface (GUI) into remote control codes and communicate the remote control codes as data packets through peripheral bus interface, such as USB, to a plug-in peripheral device. The plug-in peripheral device receives the data packets and drives the IR transmitter using information in the data packets received. The remote control codes in the form of modulated IR signals arrive at the electronic appliances such as TV, VCR, Hi-Fi systems, robots, etc. that can decode remote control codes.
