Abstract: An apparatus including a storage medium and a controller is provided. The storage medium stores a mapping of stream Identifiers (IDs) to Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) tags. The controller is coupled to the storage medium and configured to route a packet for a Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) network according to the mapping. The routing of the packet includes replacing a VLAN tag in the packet according to the stream ID of the packet and the mapping, so as to maintain the real-time deterministic behavior of delivering data streams in the TSN network.

Abstract: An apparatus including a storage medium and a controller is provided. The storage medium stores a first mapping of stream Identifiers (IDs) to VLAN tags, and a second mapping of the stream IDs to VLAN tag indications. The controller is coupled to the storage medium and configured to route a packet between a Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) network and a non-TSN network according to the first and second mappings. The routing of the packet includes inserting or removing a VLAN tag in or from the packet according to the stream ID of the packet and the first and second mappings, so as to enable interoperability between the TSN network and the non-TSN network.

Abstract: An all-in-one connecting base having a waterproof device includes a connecting base body, a waterproof shell and a waterproof device. At least one connecting port is set on the connecting base body. The waterproof shell is mounted outside of the connecting base body and covers the connecting ports. The waterproof device is set movably on the waterproof shell. Thereby, the all-in-one connecting base having a waterproof device is assembled. It is convenient to assemble or dismantle the waterproof shell to shorten maintenance and assembly times. Moreover, it is unnecessary to design a new waterproof loop for the different types of the connecting ports, which reduces purchasing costs and avoid costly purchasing of accessories, in order to reduce overall costs.

Abstract: A removable CPU module for use in a data processing system. The CPU module includes at least one CPU having a first data width, and a first data bus of the same data width coupled to the CPU. A connector is coupled to the first data bus for connecting to a circuit board having a second data bus. The second data bus has a second data width which is different from the first data width. The CPU module is configured such that it is compatible with the second data bus. In one embodiment, the removable CPU module includes a third data bus coupled to the first data bus and the connector, which is a duplicate of and connected in parallel with the first data bus. The third data bus facilitates compatibility between the CPU module and the second data bus.

Abstract: A data processing system includes a first central processing unit (CPU), at least one expansion port into which additional CPUs may be inserted, and a system controller. Interrupt circuitry coupled to said first CPU, said at least one expansion port, and said system controller, is configured to allow the dam processing system to operate as a multi-processor system, only one of the first and additional CPUs communicating with the system controller at any one time.
