30results about How to "Minimize congestion" patented technology

A repeater and method provides a technique to minimize congestion and packet loss, which may be generated when a fault is detected in a ring type packet network or when the network recovers from such a fault. A repeater having a plurality of ports for transmitting and receiving packets in a ring type network for transmitting the received packets on the basis of an address included in a received packet and a transmitting port database indicating an identifier of a port to transmit the packet having the address as the destination, comprises a control packet processing block to detect reception of a fault notifying packet transmitted from a repeater having detected a fault and a control block to update, upon reception of the fault notifying packet from an immediately adjacent repeater, a port identifier of the transmitting port database having a port identifier of the port having received said fault notifying packet into a port identifier of a port connected to another immediately adjacent repeater.

A routing device is provided for use in optical systems for routing and distributing optical fibres within optical networks, optical hardware, and optical joints thereof. The routing device includes a plurality of cable ports for receiving one or more cable elements, which include one or more optical fibres. Each of a plurality of guiding tracks is connected to at least one cable port, and one or more output ports in which the optical fibres are routed from the cable ports to the output ports. An optical joint for use in optical systems includes, one or more trays and at least one routing device mounted within the optical joint. The optical joint receives the one or more cable elements, which are plugged into the routing device and routes the one or more optical fibres through the routing device to distribute them from at least one of the output ports to their respective trays.

A method and service of balancing delay in a circuit design begins with nodes that are to be connected together by a wiring design, or by being supplied with an initial wiring design that is to be altered. The wiring design will have many wiring paths, such as a first wiring path, a second wiring path, etc. Two or more of the wiring paths are designed to have matching timing, such that the time needed for a signal to travel along the first wiring path is about the same time needed for a signal to travel along the second wiring path, the third path, etc. The method / service designs one or all of the wiring paths to make the paths traverse wire segments of about the same length and orientation, within each wiring level that the first wiring path and the second wiring path traverse. Also, this process makes the first wiring path and the second wiring path traverse the wire segments in the same order, within each wiring level that the first wiring path and the second wiring path traverse.

A Golf Round Pace Regulator timing device is shown and described. The invention, with a custom course specific face decal, illustrates the time allocated to each hole on the golf course to help golfers maintain a steady pace of play to complete the course in the time allotted by the golf course management. The golfer(s) are responsible for maintaining the same pace on the course as the pace of the invention's moving clock hand across the easy to read face decal. The invention solves the problem of slow play and decreased course revenue due to slow play. The invention solves the expensive customization manufacturing problem since it may be mass produced, and after manufacturing the customized course decal may be created and applied. The Invention is easy to implement and use on any golf course.

A method for communicating data in a network environment is provided that includes receiving one or more packets for establishing a communication session in a network and determining which of the packets should be delayed. A selected one or more of the packets are delayed for a designated time interval in order to extend a roundtrip time (RTT) parameter associated with the selected packets. The selected packets are communicated after the time interval has expired.
