  • Patent number: 11956317
    Abstract: A system for enterprise collaboration is associated with an overlay network, such as a content delivery network (CDN). The overlay network comprises machines capable of ingress, forwarding and broadcasting traffic, together with a mapping infrastructure. The system comprises a front-end application, a back-end application, and set of one or more APIs through which the front-end application interacts with the back-end application. The front-end application is a web or mobile application component that provides one or more collaboration functions. The back-end application comprises a signaling component that maintains state information about each participant in a collaboration, a connectivity component that manages connections routed through the overlay network, and a multiplexing component that manages a multi-peer collaboration session to enable an end user peer to access other peers' media streams through the overlay network rather than directly from another peer.

  • Patent number: 8136005
    Abstract: A storage system comprises a linear block encoder. A write circuit writes an output of the linear block encoder to a storage medium. A read circuit reads data from the storage medium. A channel decoder decodes the data. A soft linear block code decoder that decodes the data decoded by the channel decoder. The channel decoder decodes the data read in a first iteration. In a subsequent iteration the channel decoder decodes the data read by the read circuit and utilizes information decoded by the soft linear block code decoder. A threshold check circuit selects an output of the soft linear block code decoder if a number of parity check violations has a first relationship with respect to a threshold, or an output of the channel decoder if the number of parity check violations has a second relationship with respect to the threshold.

  • Patent number: 7340003
    Abstract: A storage system for storing data on a storage medium includes an encoder, a linear block encoder, a write circuit, a read circuit, a channel decoder, and a soft linear block code decoder. In a first iteration, the channel decoder decodes data read by the read circuit. In succeeding iterations, the channel decoder decodes the data read by the read circuit and utilizes information decoded by the soft linear block decoder from an immediately preceding iteration. The storage system includes a threshold check circuit to select (i) an output of the soft linear block code decoder if the number of parity-check violations has a first relationship with respect to a threshold, or (ii) an output of the channel decoder if the number of violations has a second relationship with respect to the threshold. The storage system includes a decoder to decode an output of the threshold check circuit.

  • Patent number: 6888897
    Abstract: A transmitter is provided for transmitting data to a communication channel and a receiver receives the data from the communication channel. The transmitter comprises an encoder to encode data and a linear block encoder to encode data encoded by the encoder. The receiver comprises a soft channel decoder to decode the data, and a soft linear block code decoder to decode data decoded by the soft channel decoder. In the first iteration, the soft channel decoder decodes data received by the receiver. In succeeding iterations, the soft channel decoder decodes the data received by the receiver and utilizes information from the soft linear block decoder from an immediate preceding iteration. A decision circuit selects an output of the soft linear block decoder if an evaluated criterion is less than a threshold, or an output of the soft channel decoder if the evaluated criterion is greater than the threshold. A decoder decodes an output of the threshold check circuit.
