  • Patent number: 11704154
    Abstract: A real-time computational device includes a programmable real-time processor, a communications input port which is connected to the programmable real-time processor through a first broadside interface, and a communications output port which is connected to the programmable real-time processor through a second broadside interface. Both broadside interfaces enable 1024 bits of data to be transferred across each of the broadside interfaces in a single clock cycle of the programmable real-time processor.

  • Patent number: 11579877
    Abstract: A computational system includes one or more processors. Each processor has multiple registers, as well attached memory to hold instructions. The processor is coupled to one or more broadside interfaces. A broadside interface allows the processor to load or store an entire widget state in a single clock cycle of the processor. The broadside interface also allows the processor to move and store 32 bytes of information into RAM in less than four to five clock cycles of the processor while the processor concurrently performs one or more mathematical operations on the information while the move and store operation is taking place.

  • Publication number: 20080025300
    Abstract: A subscriber device capable of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication via a wireless connection with an 802.11 access point to an Internet Protocol (IP) based network includes a codec for encoding a signal into a Real Time Protocol (RTP) packet and a controller for controlling a bit-rate at which the codec encodes the signal. The codec encodes the signal at a first bit-rate during normal transmissions and encodes the signal at a second bit-rate lower than the first bit-rate upon occurrence of a predetermined triggering event.
