  • Patent number: 7493103
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for a communications device transferring data. A signal strength is received for a communications link used to transfer data to a destination. In response to the signal strength less than a threshold, the data is cached in the communications device to form cached data. In response to a loss and reestablishment of the communications link, the cached data is sent to the destination.

  • Publication number: 20070151463
    Abstract: A toaster for heating foodstuffs includes a chassis having a cavity therein and having at least one chassis opening for accessing the cavity. A door is movable with respect to the chassis between a closed position in which the door substantially covers the chassis opening, and an open position in which the cavity is accessible through the chassis opening. A carriage with at least one slot movable between a first position disposed completely within the cavity and a second position extending at least partially from the cavity through the chassis opening. The toaster has a heating configuration in which the carriage is in the first position and the door is in the closed position to confine the foodstuff being heated and create a generally enclosed chamber within the cavity in which heat and moisture loss is controlled.

  • Patent number: 6856596
    Abstract: An apparatus for storing a packet including a buffer in which packets are stored. The apparatus includes a mechanism for determining an average buffer fill of the buffer, where the average buffer fill is an average fill state of the buffer. The determining mechanism is connected to the buffer. The apparatus includes a mechanism for calculating a drop probability associated with the packet which identify is the probability the packet will be dropped from a the buffer. The apparatus includes a mechanism for generating a random number. The apparatus includes a mechanism for discarding the packet from the elements if the drop probability is greater in than the random number. A method for access control.

  • Patent number: 6216182
    Abstract: A system for storing data. The system includes a host for processing the data. The system includes a buffer mechanism for storing data and producing interrupt signals to the host for informing the host there is data in the buffer mechanism for the host to process. The buffer mechanism adapting the production of interrupts based on the speed the host can process data. The host is in contact with the buffer mechanism. A method for serving data. The method includes the steps of storing data in a buffer mechanism. Then there is the step of sending an initial interrupt signal to a host from the buffer mechanism informing the host there is data in the buffer mechanism for the host to process. Next there is the step of transferring data in the buffer mechanism to the host. Then there is the step of processing data from the buffer mechanism with the host. Next there is the step of adapting when a subsequent interrupt signal is sent to the host based on the speed the host can process data.

  • Patent number: 6192033
    Abstract: An apparatus for reflecting an f-RM cell as a b-RM cell. The apparatus includes an RM cell processor which is adapted to receive the f-RM cell from an ATM network and modifies ABR information of the f-RM cell to reflect congestion regarding cells on the ATM network. The apparatus includes a transmit scheduler connected to the RM cell processor which forms the b-RM cell from the modified ABR information of the f-RM cell and sends the b-RM cell to the ATM network. The transmit scheduler is decoupled from the RM cell processor. An ATM telecommunications system. A method for reflecting an f-RM cell as a b-RM cell.

  • Patent number: 6151321
    Abstract: An ATM communications system. The system includes an ATM network on which ATM cells of ATM packets travel. The system includes a host which produces ATM packets having cells which include at least a payload. The system includes an interface connected to the host which sends ATM cells from the host onto the ATM network. The interface produces read requests to the host for obtaining cells from the host. The interface transfers a partial packet having a plurality of cells from the host to the interface with each read request. The interface has a bus which connects to the host on which communication between the host and the interface occurs. The interface has a transfer mechanism which is connected to the ATM network to send cells to the ATM network. An interface for connection to a host which sends ATM cells from the host to an ATM network. A method for sending ATM cells over an ATM network.

  • Patent number: 6026090
    Abstract: An ATM communications system. The system includes an ATM network on which ATM cells of ATM packets travel. The system includes a host having a host memory mechanism preferably having cache lines which stores the cells. The system includes an interface having a receive memory mechanism which stores a partial packet comprising a plurality of cells received from the ATM network. The receive memory mechanism aligns with the host memory mechanism so every transfer from the receive memory mechanism of the plurality of cells to the host memory mechanism fills the host memory mechanism along cache lines of the host memory mechanism. The interface has a bus which connects to the host on which communication between the host and the interface occurs. The interface is connected to the ATM network. A method for sending ATM cells over an ATM network. An interface for a host to receive ATM cells from an ATM communication network.
