Patent number: 10432422Abstract: A communication system and method including the steps of receiving a first request to initiate a guaranteed quality of service flow in a network, broadcasting a second request from a Network Coordinator to a plurality of nodes connected to the network and receiving a first response to the second request from at least one ingress node. The method further includes receiving a second response to the second request from at least one egress node indicating whether the at least one egress node has available resources to receive the guaranteed quality of service flow and allocating resources for the guaranteed quality of service flow if the at least one ingress node has available resources to transmit, and the at least one egress node has available resources to receive, the guaranteed quality of service flow.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2017Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Entropic Communications LLCInventors: Bradley Thomas Hyslop, Abul Qasem Shamsuddin Safdar, Robert L. Hare, Zong Wu, Inderjit Singh, Shlomo Ovadia

Patent number: 8730152Abstract: A system for and method of reinitializing a screen controller of an electronic display device, such as an electrophoretic display, are disclosed. The system may comprise at least one computer processor associated with a screen controller of an electrophoretic display device, where the at least one computer processor may be configured to initialize screen controller registers, loading a waveform into the screen controller of the electrophoretic display device, copying previously stored screen image data stored in direct memory access to current storage of the screen controller; and executing an update process to efficiently reinitialize the screen controller of the electrophoretic display after panel power to the electrophoretic display is provided by at least one power source of the electrophoretic display.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2009Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Robert L. Hare, Samson Huang, Garth Conboy, Serge Rutman, Genisim Tsilker

Patent number: 8352569Abstract: In one embodiment a communication method comprises the steps of receiving a query at Layer 2 from an entry node by way of a coordinated network, the query requesting data rates of network resources of the coordinated network; transmitting a Layer 2 request for an available data rate to each of a plurality of nodes connected to the coordinated network in response to the query; receiving a first Layer 2 response to said request from one or more of the plurality of nodes, wherein the first response includes a data rate with which each of the one or more nodes is capable of transmitting or receiving data; and transmitting a list of the received data rates to at least the entry node on the coordinated network.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2008Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Entropic Communications, Inc.Inventors: Robert L. Hare, Jr., Inderjit Singh, Bradley Thomas Hyslop, Shlomo Ovadia

Patent number: 8176181Abstract: A communications system and method comprises the steps of performing at least one Layer 2 transaction comprising a plurality of wave cycles, each Layer 2 transaction including performing a first wave cycle, concatenating the received first responses from each of the one or more nodes, and performing a second wave cycle. The first wave cycle includes broadcasting a first request from a network coordinator to a plurality of nodes connected to a coordinated network, and receiving a first response from one or more of the nodes indicating that the nodes have opted to participate in a next subsequent wave cycle. The second wave cycle includes transmitting a subsequent request from the network coordinator to each of the one or more nodes based upon the concatenated first responses.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2008Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Entropic Communications, Inc.Inventors: Bradley Thomas Hyslop, Robert L. Hare, Jr., Inderjit Singh, Shlomo Ovadia, Ronald Lee
