Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and system for providing video support for legacy Internet Protocol (IP) phones. In this system, a Companion Display Device (CDD) is configured to communicate with the legacy IP phone by registering the CDD with the legacy IP phone. Further, whenever a call initiation request is detected, the legacy IP phone initiates the CDD. The CDD then displays incoming video streams received from a communication device with which the legacy IP phone has established video call connection. The CDD further captures and transmits video streams to the legacy IP phone, which in turn is transmitted to the communication device over the IP network.

Abstract: A method, article of manufacture, and apparatus for processing information are disclosed. In some embodiments, this includes mapping a target multi-controller system, determining a target controller to send a data chunk to based on the mapping, determining if the target controller is missing any portion of the data chunk, and sending the missing portions of the data chunk to the target controller. In some embodiments, sending the missing portions of the data chunk to the target controller includes sending the missing portions of the data chunk from a source multi-controller system to the target. The source multi-controller system may have a first number of controllers and the target multi-controller system may have a second number of controllers.

Abstract: A method for directly determining model parameters for a machining process that includes the steps of providing a system having a machining tool and a workpiece, and machining the workpiece using the machining tool, where the machining induces motions in the machining tool or the workpiece. The motions are then measured and used to estimate system characteristic multipliers (eigenvalues). A set of process model parameters is obtained by relating the eigenvalues to the results of an analytical method, a theoretical model or both.

Abstract: According to the present invention, methods and apparatus are provided to improve the techniques and mechanisms for forwarding packets at a fiber channel switch. A combined area table/domain table (ATDT) is accessed using destination information associated with a fiber channel packet. Area/port or domain information can be used to address entries in the ATDT. Each entry provides one or more paths to a given destination. Traffic shaping, load balancing, and other policy based forwarding considerations can be applied.

Abstract: A method and system for the fair allocation of unused guaranteed bandwidth. Data segments of at least one class of service are received at each of a plurality of ingress line cards. Each class of service has a guaranteed percentage of transmission bandwidth. The system uses a must-serve bit to mark a number of data cells within each class of service. The number of cells marked depends on the guaranteed bandwidth percentage for the particular class of service. The mark is referred to as “must-serve” since the scheduler must serve the particular class of service to the extent of the marked cells in order to meet the guaranteed bandwidth. The generic switch fabric monitors the cells and the switch CPU reallocates bandwidth so that only the marked cells are provided preferential transmission. Non-marked cells compete equally for excess bandwidth.
