A circuit package for providing isolation between a controller on a first side of a switched power supply and a second side of the switched power supply. An isolation link provides voltage isolation between the first and second sides and includes on the first sides circuitry for transmitting a driver signal received from the controller and circuitry for receiving a voltage feedback signal responsive to a sensed output voltage on the second side. The second side includes circuitry for receiving the driver signal and also circuitry for transmitting the voltage feedback signal. A driver located on the second side is responsive to the received driver signal. The second side further includes circuitry for sensing the output voltage and generating the voltage feedback signal. The isolation link additionally provides voltage isolation between the controller and the driver circuit and between the controller and the sensed output voltage.

A method is provided for fairly allocating bandwidth to a plurality of devices connected to a communication link implemented as a plurality of point-to-point links. The point-to-point links interconnect the devices in a daisy chain fashion. Each device is configured to transmit locally generated packets and to forward packets received from downstream devices onto one of the point-to-point links. The rate at which each device transmits local packets relative to forwarding received packets is referred to as the device's insertion rate. A fair bandwidth allocation algorithm is implemented in each (upstream) device to determine the highest packet issue rate of the devices which are downstream of that (upstream) device. The packet issue rate of a downstream device is the number of local packets associated with the downstream device that are received at the upstream device relative to the total number of packets received at the upstream device. By monitoring the total flow of packets received at the upstream device, the highest packet issue rate of the respective packet issue rates of the downstream devices may be determined. Each upstream device then matches its insertion rate to the highest packet issue rate of its downstream devices. The determination of the highest packet issue rate may be performed dynamically such that the insertion rate of the upstream device can adapt to changes in communication traffic patterns. Further, the fair bandwidth allocation algorithm may include a priority algorithm to arbitrate between local and received packets transmitted at the insertion rate.

An apparatus and a method for routing data in a radio data communication system having one or more host computers, one or more intermediate base stations, and one or more RF terminals organizes the intermediate base stations into an optimal spanning-tree network to control the routing of data to and from the RF terminals and the host computer efficiently and dynamically. Communication between the host computer and the RF terminals is achieved by using the network of intermediate base stations to transmit the data.

In addition to a conference server 100, a record server 200 is provided. The conference data of a real-time conference is stored in a storage section 214 of the record server 200 (S2). A conference terminal 300a performs connection processing to the conference (S1) and then transmits a catch-up playback request to the record server 200 (S3). The record server 200 determines whether or not catch-up playback is enabled (S4) and then distributes the past conference data (S6), and notifies the conference terminal 300a that the catch-up playback end point has come (S7-1). Accordingly, the connection of the conference terminal 300a is switched to the conference server 100 (S9) and the conference terminal 300a is connected to the real-time conference (S10).

Cable assembly includes a communication cable having first and second insulated wires. Each of the first and second insulated wires has a signal conductor and an insulation layer that surrounds the signal conductor. The cable assembly also includes a circuit carrier that is coupled to the communication cable and has first and second signal pathways. Each of the first and second signal pathways includes a leading conductive surface and a trailing conductive surface that are separated from each other. The signal conductors of the first and second insulated wires are coupled to the trailing conductive surfaces of the first and second signal pathways, respectively. Each of the first and second signal pathways includes a corresponding signal-control component that electrically couples the separated leading and trailing conductive surfaces.

According to one embodiment, an active cable assembly may include a cable end, a data receiver, a controller characteristic circuit, and a controller. The data receiver, operable to receive a DC-balanced data signal, can be electrically coupled to a conductive input data line of the cable end. The controller characteristic circuit can be electrically coupled to the conductive input data line. The controller can be communicatively coupled to the data receiver. The controller may include a configurable communication port electrically coupled to the controller characteristic circuit, and memory for storing a boot loader. The controller can execute the boot loader to set the configurable communication port as an output for controller data signals and as an input for the controller data signals.
