Abstract: A tire monitor includes a sensor generating tire data and a plurality of control modules having phase locked loop circuits. The control modules generate output signals carrying the tire data. A first of the control modules is configured to generate first output signals having a first frequency and according to a first protocol. A second of the control modules is configured to generate second output signals having a second frequency and according to a second protocol. In examples, the output signal can be transmitted in parallel to different computing systems.

Abstract: Generally speaking, the cell switching architecture of the present invention offers a powerful, simple, and in many ways elegant solution to the problem of providing cost-effective, high-bandwidth, fault-tolerant cell switching. The architecture is based on a network of switching elements connected in a hypercube topology to form a switch fabric. The generalized hypercube is D dimensional, where D≧3 when all radices in the radix set are 2 and D≧2 when at least one of the radices is greater than 2. A fully-populated switch is fully symmetric: each switching element has the same number and kind of connections to both its neighbors and to the outside world as every other switching element. In an exemplary embodiment, each switching element is connected to one data source and one data sink, e.g., a Utopia bus or other broadband connection. In the same exemplary embodiment, links between switching elements are bidirectional and synchronous, operating in accordance with a Cell Exchange Cycle (CEC).
