  • Patent number: 8352296
    Abstract: Presence information within a meeting room is detected and published to users for managing room availability and real time status. Various means such as motion detectors, card readers, log-in mechanisms associated with in-room computers, and the like, are used to detect presence information. Different status indicators are assigned to each room and published through a communication application or hosted service providing useful and real time information to users.

  • Patent number: 7579869
    Abstract: A repeatable non-uniform segmented routing architecture in a field programmable gate array comprising: a repeatable block of routing tracks, the routing tracks grouped into sets of routing tracks, each set having a first routing track in a first track position, a second routing track in a last track position, a programmable element, and a direct address device for programming the programmable element; wherein at least one of the routing tracks is segmented into non-uniform lengths by the programmable element and the second routing track crosses-over to the first track position in a region adjacent to an edge of the repeatable block; and wherein a first plurality of the routing track sets proceed in a horizontal direction and a second plurality of the routing track sets proceed in a vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 7075334
    Abstract: The apparatus comprises a repeatable non-uniform segmented routing architecture in a field programmable gate array having a plurality of sets of routing tracks having a first and last track position proceeding in a first direction and having at least one programmable element and at least one direct address device. The tracks are partitioned into uniform lengths and a track in the last position crosses over to a track in the first position immediately prior to said partition. The apparatus of the present system also has a plurality of sets of routing tracks having a first and last track position proceeding in a second direction. The tracks proceeding in the second direction have at least one programmable element and direct address device, wherein the tracks are partitioned into uniform lengths and said last track position crosses over to a first track position immediately prior to said partition.
