US Patent:

7792096, Sep 7, 2010

Filed:

Nov 18, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/282943

Inventors:

Ahmed Doleh - Sachse TX, US
Daniel Louis Miller - Plano TX, US
Lewis Robinson - Dallas TX, US

Assignee:

Genband US LLC - Plano TX

International Classification:

H04L 12/66

US Classification:

370352, 709226, 370400

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer program products for distributed resource allocation between media gateways (MGs) in a cluster of MGs. According to one method, available resources provided by each MG in a cluster of MGs controlled by a media gateway controller (MGC) are communicated between the MGs in the cluster. At the media gateways, resources required for a call are identified, rules are applied to select resources for the call from the available resources, and the selected resources are allocated to process the call.

Appl. No.:

11/132893

Inventors:

Lewis Robinson - Dallas TX, US

Assignee:

Santera Systems, Inc. - Plano TX

International Classification:

H04L 12/50
H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370376000, 370401000

Abstract:

An apparatus that includes W interfaces to a circuit-switched network, where W is an integer number that equals the product of smaller integer numbers X and N. The apparatus also includes X discrete switching apparatus each having N ones of the W network interfaces, as well as a plurality of switching-expansion interconnects each interconnecting ones of the X switching apparatus, such that the W network interfaces are collectively interconnected in a non-blocking manner.

US Patent:

51421577, Aug 25, 1992

Filed:

Mar 14, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/669172

Inventors:

Lewis E. Robinson - Dallas TX

Assignee:

Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX

International Classification:

G02B 2700

US Classification:

250551

Abstract:

A plurality of power driver modules are removably mounted on a circuit board which interfaces with a computer control system. The input/power driver output switches in each module use optical coupling. A controller sets the power switches according to instructions from the computer control system, and the system can determine the set state of the power switches by reading a set state memory or directly determining the actual state of the switches by reading the switch state from an input circuit on the input/output power driver module.
