  • Publication number: 20080080537
    Abstract: A system includes a broadcast overlay network including a ring topology. The ring topology includes a first network ring and a second network ring that is coupled to the first network ring via at least one cross-connect element. The ring topology is adapted to carry broadcast traffic from a network. The system also includes a digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM) having a line interface and a network interface. The network interface is in communication with the broadcast overlay network via the second network ring. The DSLAM is adapted to receive a request for a particular video channel from a customer premise via the line interface and to deliver the particular video channel from the network interface to the line interface.

  • Publication number: 20060209823
    Abstract: A computer readable medium stores a program in an ingress capable network device of a network for routing signals through the network. The computer readable includes a receiving code segment for receiving an original signal, which has an embedded destination service address. The computer readable medium also includes a querying code segment for querying a database server to obtain an internal routing address corresponding to the embedded destination service address, and a routing code segment for routing at least a portion of the original signal through the network to an egress capable network device according to the internal routing address. The routed portion of the original signal includes at least the embedded destination service address, which enables the egress capable network device to restore the embedded destination service address and to forward the routed portion of the original signal from the network.

  • Patent number: 5275339
    Abstract: A diffuser for a hair dryer having an air discharge nozzle, the diffuser comprising a body having a side wall defining a first opening adapted to communicate with the nozzle and a second opening. The body defines an air passage communicable between the first and second openings for conducting therebetween an air flow. Also included is a grill overlying the second opening and defining a plurality of discharge openings, and a plurality of generally hollow fingers extending from the grill outwardly of the air passage. The fingers define respective finger discharge openings and respective finger discharge passage portions communicable between the air passage and the finger discharge openings.
