Patent number: 11979694Abstract: An optical and electronic integrated switch includes a network processor that controls the functions of the packet switch, a plurality of optical transceivers having photoelectric conversion functions, and a plurality of optical switches. The optical switches include different types of optical core switch and a plurality of optical-path selection switches. The optical transceivers provided near the processor have a regenerative relay function that regenerates optical signals and turns back the optical signals, and perform optical communication with a communication counterpart via the optical switches. In the optical communication, optical switches of the different types can cooperate to set paths for optical cut-through in which path selection is performed such that inputted optical signals are outputted without the intervention of the processor. This optical cut-through can be effectively performed without imposing a signal processing burden that consumes electric power on the processor.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Osamu Moriwaki, Shunichi Soma, Keita Yamaguchi, Kenya Suzuki, Seiki Kuwabara, Tetsuro Inui, Shuto Yamamoto, Seiji Okamoto, Hideki Nishizawa

Patent number: 9779045Abstract: A first external tool (10A) serially connected to an electronic controller (20A) through a pair of communication lines (LANH, LANN) applies a high voltage (Vaa) higher than a normal control voltage (Vcc) to the communication line (LANH) when a program is written. The electronic controller (20A) recognizes connection of the first external tool (10A) by a comparison circuit (212A) for monitoring a received voltage and a write-mode determination circuit (218A), initializes a microprocessor (200), and receives and stores an total control program (TCPRG) in a program memory (204A) based on a content of a boot program memory (201). During an operation of the electronic controller (20A), the external tool (10A) is removed and the high voltage (Vaa) is not applied to the communication line (LANH). Therefore, the electronic control apparatus is not erroneously placed in the write mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Mitsunori Nishida, Yuki Iwagami, Akihiro Ishii, Osamu Nishizawa, Manabu Yamashita
