摘要:
A large high capacity switch is provided for a communication network which is constructed from a network of smaller switches. Data is fragmented into fixed sized cells and the cells of a traffic flow are aggregated by grouping cells to form larger yet uniform units of information transfer. The groups are transmitted synchronously and in parallel to increase the effective bandwidth of information transfer.

The invention relates to a stand arrangement (100) for a medical-optical instrument. The stand arrangement includes a first link (104) which is pivotally supported on a holding unit (101) by a first rotational joint. The stand arrangement (100) further includes a second link (106) which is rotatably connected to the first link (104) via a second rotational joint (105). A take-up unit (109) for medical-optical equipment is held in a forward section (108) of the second link (106) by a third rotational joint. The take-up unit (109) includes a front link (111) which, in turn, is connected via a third link (112) and a fourth link (113) to the second rotational joint (105). The holding unit (101) and the fourth link (113) are coupled with the aid of a toothed gear unit (118) in such a manner that the orientation of the front link (111) does not change with the movement of the first link (104).

In a system comprising a first fabric and a plurality of devices coupled to the fabric by Fibre Channel connections, the devices are logically grouped to form configurations and zones. A configuration includes at least one zone, and each zone includes at least one device as a member of the zone. Communications between the devices is restricted according to the configuration currently in effect. For example, one device may be permitted to communicate with another device only if they are members of a common zone.

Embodiments of the invention provide network interface devices and systems and methods for using them. For instance, a system in accordance with certain embodiments of the invention comprises a network interface device adapted to receive a plurality of sets of telecommunication information (telecommunication can include, inter alia, voice signals, Internet Protocol data, audio signals, data representing encoded audio signals, video signals and data representing encoded video signals) and distribute at least one of the plurality to a customer premises. The system can further include a control point operable to transmit configuration information to the network interface device. The configuration information can be operable to configure the behavior of the network interface device with respect to one or more of the information sets.

The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for connecting several trunk lines via PCM circuits to an exchange-internal switching network, for use in a switching-oriented system, preferably in an electronic data switching system, with at least two line and trunk groups, that form a redundancy pair and have at least one cross-connection, with each line and trunk group having at least one central controller, at least one interface to the exchange-internal switching network, a line circuit area for the PCM circuits and at least one transformer/framer for synchronization for each PCM circuit, with the switching arrangement being configured in such a way that a fault occurring in the circuit arrangement affects only a maximum of two PCM circuits. The invention is characterized in that switching elements, that directly and asynchronously select the PCM circuits individually and one of the two central controllers optionally, are positioned before the transformers/framers.

The invention relates to an exchange (12) and a method for controlling an exchange (12) for establishing connections. Said exchange (12) is connected to at least one separately arranged connection unit (14) to which n connection groups (40a, 40b) are connected. The connection between the separately arranged connection unit (14) and the exchange (12) is established by means of transmission interface units (16, 18) of the separately arranged connection unit (14) and the exchange (12). The connection between the transmission interface unit (18) of the exchange (12) and the coupling network (32) of the exchange (12) is established by means of x useful data channels, the sum of the transmission capacities of said x useful data channels being smaller than the sum of the transmission capacities of the useful data channels of all n connection groups (40a, 40b).

An electronic apparatus according to the present invention includes two modules which decode high frequency analog signals. Furthermore, each of the modules is provided with an RF section at a position away from the center of the module in either longitudinal direction to carry out radio communications using high frequencies. In this electronic apparatus, the two modules are arranged so that their longitudinal sides extend parallel with each other in opposite directions. The two modules are also misaligned with each other in the longitudinal direction so that the RF sections lie away from each other and so that connectors to which signals subject to noise interference are inputted lie away from each other.

An N-rate, Nnull1-precedence meter/marker for a data communication switch or router where N is a configurable number which is at least three. The N rates are limit rates which include a high boundary rate, a low boundary rate and at least one intermediate rate. The meter measures the rate of a data stream and assigns one of the Nnull1 precedences to packets in the data stream based on the measured rate. The marker marks packets based on the assigned one of the Nnull1 precedences. The data communication switch or router provides packets different levels of assurance based on their marked one of the Nnull1 precedences. Packets within a data stream operating at above the high boundary rate are assigned and marked with a first precedence. Packets in a data stream operating at below the high boundary rate and above the at least one intermediate rate are assigned and marked with a second precedence which is serviced with a more favorable drop profile than the first precedence. Packets in a data stream operating at below the at least one intermediate rate and above the low boundary rate are assigned and marked with a third precedence which is serviced with a more favorable drop profile than the second precedence. Packets in a data stream operating at below the low boundary rate are assigned and marked with a fourth precedence which is serviced with a more favorable drop profile than the third precedence. The high boundary rate, low boundary rate and at least one intermediate rate may comprise a peak information rate (PIR), a committed information rate (CIR) and at least one intermediate information rate (IIR), respectively.
摘要:
A timeslot interchange switch has a three stage pipelined construction. A cross-connect stage identifies egress timeslots for which there is a corresponding data source. The cross connect stage has a set of flags which indicate whether or not there is a data source for each of a plurality of egress timeslots. The cross connect stage takes the flags in groups. If one or more flags in a group indicates an egress timeslot has a corresponding data source then information identifying the egress timeslot is passed to a connection scheduler via a FIFO. The connection scheduler looks up the data source for each the egress timeslot.
