| 20080267223 | Systems and methods for mapping and multiplexing wider clock tolerance signals in optical transport network transponders and multiplexers - The present invention provides systems and methods for mapping and multiplexing wider clock tolerance signals in Optical Transport Network (OTN) transponders and multiplexers. In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention allows wide tolerance signals, such as a 10 GbE with a ±100 PPM clock tolerance, to be 100% transparently mapped asynchronously into OTU2-LAN rate transport signals. In another exemplary embodiment, the present invention allows wide tolerance signals, such as a 10 GbE with a ±100 PPM clock tolerance, to be 100% transparently multiplexed asynchronously in to OTU3-LAN rate transport signals. The present invention utilizes extra Negative Justification Opportunities (NJO) in either unused OPUk overhead or in OPUk payload area and Positive Justification Opportunities (PJO) in OPUk payload area. Advantageously, the extra NJO and PJO provide additional bandwidth for client data rate offsets beyond OTN specifications. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090207866 | Apparatus and methods for utilizing statistical multiplexing to ensure quality of service in a network - Methods and apparatus for utilizing bitrate or other data associated with statistically multiplexed video (e.g., programs) or other content within a network to ensure quality of service (QoS) at a subscriber premises or local network. In one embodiment, the present invention provides improved multiplexing apparatus and methods that allow a consumer premises device to obtain QoS data and employ that data to enforce and maintain one or more QoS policies. In another embodiment of the present invention, an improved consumer premises device is provided which is adapted to receive a multiplexed program stream and subsequently demultiplex and time stamp the resulting single program streams. The time stamps are then utilized to generate QoS data which is utilized to enforce and maintain a QoS policy. Business methods associated with the various features described above are also disclosed. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100226394 | Device to transmit pulses over a packet-switched network - The present invention relates to a device able to receive packets circulating in a packet communication network, said device comprising:

| 20110150009 | POINTER PROCESSING APPARATUS AND POINTER PROCESSING METHOD - A pointer processing apparatus includes a first synchronizing unit to bring a receive frame synchronized with a first clock into synchronization with a second clock, and a first stuffing unit to perform stuffing on the receive frame synchronized with the second clock, in accordance with a value of a pointer byte included in the receive frame. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20130308659 | System and Method for Multiplexing PDH and Packet Data - A method of efficiently combining data from at least a plurality of a first type of data source and a second type of data source. The method comprises synchronizing the plural first type of data sources to thereby generate a synchronized data rate, providing a frame having plural bit positions, assigning the synchronized first type of data in ones of the bit positions of the frame, and arranging the second type of data in the frame as a function of the synchronized data rate. | 11-21-2013 |

| 20080253405 | Method and System for Providing Error Resiliency - A method and system for providing error resiliency in processing a multimedia bitstream. The bitstream includes a start code pattern and the method and system detect the start code pattern and track its location to prevent the bitstream processor from overrunning the start code pattern of a subsequent block of multimedia data and corrupting the subsequent block of data. A shift length limiter receives a location of the start code pattern and the location of a current bit pointer. The shift length limiter calculates the number of bits between the start code pattern location and the current bit pointer location. When the shift length limiter receives a bit shift request, the shift length limiter prevents shifting if the number of bits in the bit shift request exceeds the calculated number of bits between the start code pattern location and the current bit pointer location. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20100272126 | PLAYBACK APPARATUS AND METHOD, PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM, DATA STRUCTURE, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR RECORDING MEDIUM - A playback apparatus includes an obtaining unit obtaining playback management information including a main playback path of a main stream set, a first sub playback path of a first sub-stream set, and a second sub playback path of a second sub-stream set. The first and second sub playback paths are allowed for a predetermined category. A selection-receiver receives a selection of streams as a first combination or a second combination. A reading unit reads the corresponding stream sets according to whether the first or second combination is selected. A playback unit plays back the main stream set and the first or second sub-stream set. The number of files that are readable at one time is predetermined. The sub playback paths are determined so that the number of the files that are readable at one time does not exceed the predetermined number. | 10-28-2010 |
