International Classification:

H04L 1/00
H04J 1/16

US Classification:

370253, 370235

Abstract:

A packetized streaming media delivery network carries many “streams” of differing media content. They often are from multiple sources and of different media types. The invention consists of a scalable hardware and/or software computing element resolving the network traffic into its individual streams for focused, simultaneous, and continuous real-time monitoring and analysis. The monitoring and analysis consists of delay factor and media loss rate which measure the cumulative jitter of the streaming media within the delivery network and the condition of the media payload. These measurements form a powerful picture of network problem awareness and resolution. The delay factor objectively indicates the contribution of the network devices in the streams' path, allowing for both problem prediction and indication. In one example, tapping a packetized network at various locations allows for correlation of the same-stream performance at various network points to pinpoint the source(s) of the impairment(s).

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370389, 370394

Abstract:

Streaming media network streams are modified using a sequence field with the IP layer 3 protocol compatible with already deployed IP switching systems except as noted for device and system testing and operational monitoring which can be used to detect the loss or out of order delivery of packets belonging to a stream. This approach can also provide the ability to numerically characterize the loss in terms of total loss, loss burst size, and loss frequency. By utilizing the bit locations of the IP-defined datagram Identification (ID) field and a unique numerical sequence, loss and out of order delivery may be tracked while avoiding the overhead and complexity associated with added upper layer protocols while gaining other key advantages such as in-situ marking of stream attributes.

International Classification:

H04L 1/00

US Classification:

370252, 714 46, 714 48, 709224

Abstract:

Streaming media network transportation streams are created using an electronic system and transmitted via an electronic interface such as an existing system network conduit (i. e. Ethernet, USB, or other packet-based architectures). A scalable hardware and/or software compute engine modifies an initial stream's identifier(s) while replicating the stream content to economically create streams. Hence, an entire network's capacity of active streams may be created from a single initial stream. In one examples, an initial stream is stored in advance of transmission for such use. In other examples, an initial stream is received and processed to dynamically create streams from the initial stream as the initial stream is being received.

James Welch - Mashpee MA, US

International Classification:

G01R031/28

US Classification:

714/724000

Abstract:

State-based logic signals are exposed within an electronic system (such as semiconductors, single board systems or multi board systems) via an existing system network conduit (Ethernet, USB, or other packet-based architectures), in or out-of-band, communicating with a logic capture device. State-based logic data is transported as packets over the existing system network interface to a device that filters and switches on these particular packets and presents the packet payload to the logic analysis device using the appropriate electrical or optical interface.

International Classification:

US Classification:

709224000

Abstract:

Streaming media network parameters are measured using an electronic system and displayed directly to a user or transmitted via an electronic interface such as an existing system network conduit, either in or out-of-band. A scalable hardware and/or software compute engine filters and reduces network parameters to simplify tracking the instantaneous and long term streaming media performance of the network. Hence, the entire set of active media streams is continuously monitored concurrently, thereby providing the ability to detect impairments as well as predict impending impairments. In one example, an existing packetized network conduit containing streaming media is tapped to concurrently and objectively analyze the streaming media streams, producing statistics (such as delay factor and media loss rate) and alarm-type events according to predetermined rules. Tapping the existing packetized network in multiple points provides comparison points and assists in pinpointing the source(s) of the impairment(s).

International Classification:

G08B 2100

US Classification:

340431

Abstract:

A quick reliable power and data transfer system between tow vehicle and trailer via hitch and hitch receiver mechanical coupling. The hitch and hitch receiver couplings are mated for proper towing and are considered to be a physical connection. This system uses this physical connection between trailer and tow vehicle to transfer power and data. The system then eliminates the additional wiring harness interconnections between trailer and tow vehicle, thus increasing the speed of trailer hookup and enhancing the reliability of the power/data transfer. Typical additional wiring harnesses and plugs are often corroded, crushed, severed, difficult to locate and mate in low ambient lighting or are otherwise damaged. This system eliminates the negative effects of these wiring harnesses by using the tow vehicle's hitch to transmit power and data to the trailer. The trailer's hitch receiver then receives the power supply and data as well as transmits data back to the tow vehicle to provide system/trailer status information.
