  • Integration of an operative standalone router into a multi-chassis router
    Patent number: 7899930
    Abstract: A standalone router is integrated into a multi-chassis router. Integrating the standalone router into a multi-chassis router requires replacing switch cards in the standalone router with multi-chassis switch cards. The multi-chassis switch cards forward packets to a central switch card chassis for routing within the multi-chassis router. By incrementally replacing standalone switch cards with multi-chassis switch cards in the standalone router, packet forwarding performance is maintained during the integration.
    Type: Grant

  • Distributed processing in a digital audio mixing network
    Patent number: 5357511
    Abstract: A large mixing network is implemented by distributing the processing of digital audio data to multiple digital processing modules where each module has multiple digital signal processors. The data is multiplexed from all audio stations to all distributed processing modules. The task of transferring audio data between audio bus and distributed processing module (DPM) and the task of processing audio data at the DPM are performed in parallel. Further, the data is multiplexed in large bursts of samples to increase the efficiency of audio data processing by the digital signal processors at the DPM.
