Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for transporting deterministic traffic in a gigabit passive optical network. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an Optical Line Termination (OLT) for exchanging data traffic in a Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) having a controller programmed to generate a timeslot schedule for transport of a desired bandwidth of constant bit rate (CBR) data traffic by selecting one or more timeslots from periodic frame clusters operating according to a GPON Transmission Convergence (GTC) protocol. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: An automatic torque transmission with one or more stages, where each stage has a number of available gear ratios. There is a planetary gear train comprising a planet gear on a planet gear carrier, a sun gear, and a ring gear, wherein an input to the planetary gear train is through the planet gear carrier, and wherein the planet gear is configured to drive the sun gear at higher speed and lower torque, and the ring gear at lower speed and higher torque. There is a first differential gear train having a first input side, a second input side, and an output, wherein the sun gear is coupled to the first input side of the first differential gear train and the ring gear is coupled to the second input side of the first differential gear train, thereby combining two inputs into a single output. A brake clutch is configured to be selectively coupled to the ring gear, to provide selective braking of the ring gear so as to selectively transfer drive from the ring gear to the sun gear.

The planet gear is configured to drive the sun gear at higher speed and lower torque, and the ring gear at lower speed and higher torque. The sun gear is coupled to an input of a differential gear train. The ring gear is coupled to a different input of the differential gear train. A brake clutch can be selectively coupled to the ring gear, to provide selective braking of the ring gear so as to selectively transfer drive from the ring gear to the sun gear.

Abstract: A system and method for managing data packets at an ingress to a Resilient Packet Ring (“RPR”) and an egress to the RPR. A system to manage data packets at an ingress to the RPR comprises a RPR station coupled with a plurality of other stations via a dual ring and a RPR client coupled with at least the RPR station to pass data packets between the RPR station and the RPR client. The RPR client comprises a plurality of client ports that receives at least fairness and non-fairness eligible data to be added to the RPR; a plurality fairness eligible traffic queues, comprising a high and low watermark, each fairness eligible queue associated with one client port to receive fairness eligible data from the client port; and a plurality of local traffic queues, comprising a high and low watermark, to receive non-fairness eligible data form the client port and fairness eligible data from the fairness eligible traffic queue.
