Flexible Cross-Connect With Data Plane

US Patent:
6587470, Jul 1, 2003
Filed:
Mar 22, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/274078
Inventors:
Paul M. Elliot - Jenner CA
Ajaib S. Bhadare - Rohnert Park CA
Dyke T. Shaffer - Santa Rosa CA
Assignee:
Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04L 1228
US Classification:
370404, 370907
Abstract:
A flexible cross-connect with a data plane is presented which allows the establishment of connections between network interfaces at any network interface card to another network interface on any other network interface card. The system can cross-connect connections at an STS- and VT granularity, and allows the switching and routing of information in a data plane without the use of the cross connect fabric. This permits routing, bridging, and concentration of data services to be performed without burdening of the cross connect. For reliability, a range of protection configurations can be employed including 1:1, 1:5 and mixed 1:N protection. A backplane is used which provides point-to-point traces between each card and the cross connect unit, between each card and a timing, communications and control unit, and between the network interface cards themselves.

Interchangeable Backplane Interface Connection Panel

US Patent:
6347963, Feb 19, 2002
Filed:
Dec 22, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/470261
Inventors:
Dean R. Falkenberg - Windsor CA
Edward T. Iwamiya - Petaluma CA
Paul M. Elliot - Jenner CA
Dyke T. Shaffer - Santa Rosa CA
Assignee:
Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H01R 2500
US Classification:
439638, 439 61, 361788
Abstract:
A system and method for converting the numerous quantities, types, and arrangements of plug-in card connectors, usually disposed on the backplane of equipment systems, to an orderly and standardized array of external connectors. The external connectors facilitate the electrical connection between the cards and one of a variety of specific external cable connectors.

Flexible Cross-Connect With Data Plane

US Patent:
7151741, Dec 19, 2006
Filed:
May 7, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/430913
Inventors:
Paul M. Elliot - Jenner CA, US
Ajaib S. Bhadare - Rohnert Park CA, US
Dyke T. Shaffer - Santa Rosa CA, US
Assignee:
Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04L 1/00
US Classification:
370218
Abstract:
A flexible cross-connect with a data plane is presented which allows the establishment of connections between network interfaces at any network interface card to another network interface on any other network interface card. The system can cross-connect connections at an STS-1 and VT 1. 5 granularity, and allows the switching and routing of information in a data plane without the use of the cross connect fabric. This permits routing, bridging, and concentration of data services to be performed without burdening of the cross connect. For reliability, a range of protection configurations can be employed including 1:1, 1:5 and mixed 1:N protection. A backplane is used which provides point-to-point traces between each card and the cross connect unit, between each card and a timing, communications and control unit, and between the network interface cards themselves.

Power Bridge Circuit For Bi-Directional Inductive Signaling

US Patent:
8437695, May 7, 2013
Filed:
Jul 21, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/841001
Inventors:
Manjirnath Chatterjee - San Francisco CA, US
Michael Lehr - Sunnyvale CA, US
Dyke Shaffer - Santa Rosa CA, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
H04B 5/00
US Classification:
455 411, 455 412, 455 413, 336130, 336131, 381 79, 307104
Abstract:
An inductive signal interface comprises a coil assembly including one or more inductive coils, a bridge circuit including a plurality of switches, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to individually operate the plurality of switches to enable the inductive signal interface to dynamically switch between a power-transmit mode and a power receive mode.

Flat Power Coil For Wireless Charging Applications

US Patent:
2013030, Nov 21, 2013
Filed:
Mar 9, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/982485
Inventors:
Michael Lehr - Sunnyvale CA, US
Manjirnath Chatterjee - San Francisco CA, US
Dyke Shaffer - Santa Rosa CA, US
Eric Liu - Santa Clara CA, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Fort Collins CO
International Classification:
H04B 5/00
US Classification:
36167901, 307104
Abstract:
A coil assembly is disclosed. The coil assembly includes a coil that is provided on a substrate. The coil includes a trace element that is wound on the substrate. The trace element includes an interior gap that extends or is present along at least a portion of the trace element. The interior gap is dimensioned to reduce a presence of eddy currents that would otherwise be generated when the coil is active to inductively transmit or receive signals.
