Abstract: A set of audio output devices may be established and configured to output channel specific audio. Once established, the channel configuration may be changed and updated in response to events such as changes to user preference, or the addition or subtraction of audio output devices to the network. In some embodiments, the reconfiguration may be performed on the fly while audio content is being outputted by the audio output devices.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating playback of media resources by a playback device. The system receives a selection input for one or more media resources. The selection input may correspond to a user input provided on a device other than the playback device. The system communicates the selection input to a first network service storing the one or more media resources, and receives, from the first network service, playback links for accessing the one or more media resources. The system then transmits the received playback links, over a network, to a playback device to enable the playback device to retrieve the one or more media resources from the first network service.

Abstract: Multiple audio output devices are individually triggered to generate an acoustic identification signal. A controller device can perform a comparison of the acoustic identification signal from each of the multiple audio output devices. The output from one or multiple audio output devices is controlled based on the comparison.

Abstract: A media access control (MAC) security (MACsec) function block may implement MACsec protocols on a network. A physical layer device (PHY) may connect to the MACsec function block and an interface register configured to store command information for the MACsec function block. A central processing unit (CPU) may provide the command information for the MACsec function block to the PHY via a management data input/output (MDIO) bus. The PHY may execute either a read command or a write command against the MACsec function block based on the command information, receive, from the MACsec function block, a response corresponding to the execution of the read command or write command against the MACsec function block, and provide the response to the CPU via the MDIO bus.

Abstract: A method for controlling a flow of packet data in a memory management unit of a network switch fabric is disclosed. A first portion of a data packet is received at a port on an ingress bus ring of the network switch fabric. A class of service for the data packet is determined based on the first portion and the portion is stored in a packer RAM of the port based on the class of service. Subsequent portions of the data packet are stored in the packer RAM. Once the predetermined number of portions have been received, the predetermined number of portions is sent to a packet pool RAM. A reference pointer to a first predetermined number of portions is sent to a transaction queue once an end of packet is detected and an egress scheduler detects a presence of a ready packet in the transaction queue and notifies an unpacker of the ready packet. The unpacker puts the ready packet into a FIFO and the ready packet is sent to an ingress/egress module.

Abstract: An adjustable wrench structure includes a main body, a movable body, and an adjusting wheel. The adjusting wheel is adapted to control the movable body to move forwards or backwards with respect to the main body such that the movable body and the main body are adjusted to form a gap at the same end for screwing a nut or bolt. The adjusting wheel of is located at a rear section of the wrench so the user does not have to move his/her hand forward and backward. The adjusting wheel is fitted on outer side of the wrench to allow oversize design to screw the nut or bold easily and effortlessly.

Abstract: A memory management unit (MMU) for a network switch fabric for forwarding data is disclosed. The MMU has an ingress port interface receiving portions of a data packet and an egress port interface, connected to ingress ports of the fabric through an ingress bus ring. The MMU also includes a cell packer, that groups packet data into cells and a packet pool memory, that stores cells received from the cell packer. The MMU also includes a cell unpacker, where the cell unpacker separates stored cells before releasing the cells to an egress port. The MMU also includes an egress scheduler communicating with the cell unpacker, where the egress scheduler determines which packet data should be retrieved from the packet pool memory according to priority rules. The priority rules can be a deficit round robin scheduling algorithm or a weighted round robin scheduling algorithm.

Abstract: A method of forwarding data in a network switch fabric is disclosed. An incoming data packet is received at a first port of the fabric and a first packet portion, less than a full packet length, is read to determine particular packet information, the particular packet information including a source address and a destination address. An egress port bitmap is determined based on a lookup in a forwarding table and it is determined if the destination address belongs to a trunk group of trunked ports. The incoming data packet is forwarded based on the egress port bitmap, when the destination address does not belong to the trunk group. When the destination address does belong to the trunk group, a particular trunked port of the trunk group is determined and the incoming data packet is forwarded thereto.
