Abstract:
A method for converting packet-based voice data of a first format directly to packet-based voice data of a second format, and vice versa. Data from networks using non-compatible packet-based voice technologies, for example, VoATM and VoIP, are interworked for direct conversion. Connection is set between an edge gateway of a first voice packet network, having data in a first format, and an interworking unit (IWU). Another connection is set between this IWU and an edge gateway of a second voice packet network, having data in the second format. The IWU is controlled by a single call agent that co-ordinates the conversion, at the IWU, between the two packet formats. Because it has this capability, this call agent is also called the “conversion server”. This call agent may be identical to the call agent used to control one or both edge gateways that use different packet based technologies.
Abstract:
Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, data structures, computer-readable media, mechanisms, and means for establishing a call across a network. For example, the network may include a first edge switch, a second edge switch, and an ATM core network coupled to the first and the second edge switches and configured to allow the second edge switch to communicate with the first edge switch. The second edge switch, being responsive to a received Q.2630.1 AAL2 message, is configured to send a first Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) setup message to the first edge switch as part of establishing a call between or through one or more of the first and the second edge switches.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for end-to-end ATM calls based on the interworking of ATM SVC signaling (such as private network-network interface signaling) with A.2630.1 AAL2 signaling. In one network, Q.2630.1 AAL2 signaling in the originating access segment triggers, on proper authentication, ATM SVC signaling (e.g., PNNI, IISP, AINI, etc.) in the core, which triggers Q.2630.1 AAL2 signaling in the terminating access segment. The triggering is done at the edge-core boundary where an AAL2 switch and/or multiplexer or an ATM switch with AAL2 multiplexing/switching capabilities is located. In the access network between the ATM-AAL2 edge switch and the edge gateway, multiplexed AAL2 virtual channel connections (VCCs) are typically used. Single-CID AAL2 SVCs are typically used in the core network, and between the ATM-AAL2 edge switch and PSTN trunk gateways. The binding of voice calls to ATM bearer channels is done at the edge gateway when triggered by a call agent.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of conductively coupling a plurality of relatively physically small core dies to a relatively physically larger base die using an electrical mesh network that is formed in whole or in part in, on, across, or about all or a portion of the base die. Electrical mesh networks beneficially permit the positioning of the cores in close proximity to support circuitry carried by the base die. The minimal separation between the core circuitry and the support circuitry advantageously improves communication bandwidth while reducing power consumption. Each of the cores may include functionally dedicated circuitry such as processor core circuitry, field programmable logic, memory, or graphics processing circuitry. The use of core dies beneficially and advantageously permits the use of a wide variety of cores, each having a common or similar interface to the electrical mesh network.

A proppant comprises a particle and a polycarbodiimide coating disposed on the particle. The polycarbodiimide coating comprises the reaction product of a polymeric isocyanate and a monomeric isocyanate, in the presence of a catalyst. A method of forming the proppant comprises the steps of providing the particle, providing the polymeric isocyanate, providing the monomeric isocyanate, providing the catalyst, reacting the polymeric isocyanate and the monomeric isocyanate in the presence of the catalyst to form the polycarbodiimide coating, and coating the particle with the polycarbodiimide coating.

Systems and methods for training users. Surgical data related to surgical procedures done by expert level users is collected from surgical robots. The surgical data is segmented into surgemes and dexemes. The training users are trained at a level of the surgemes and/or a level of the dexemes by guiding the training users with surgical simulators to practice the surgemes and/or the dexemes, wherein the surgical simulators simulate surgery done by an expert level user.
