IPC: H04H20/76
Filed: 1997-01-22
Abstract: A VOD scheduler maintains a queue of pending performance for each video. Using the notion of queue selection factor, a batching policy is devised that schedules the video with the highest selection factor. Selection factors are obtained by applying discriminatory weighting factors to the adjusted queue lengths associated with each video where the weight decreases as the popularity of the respective video increases and the queue length is adjusted to take defection into account.

Abstract: Connected to the power supply Vcc is a first capacitor C1, which is connected via a first change-over switch SW1 to the reference potential point or a second capacitor C2. The second capacitor C2 is charged by the voltage control circuit 45 under control by the pump-up voltage control signal so that the capacitors C1 and C2 are charged respectively during the scanning period. Upon input of the NTSC signal, the change-over switch SW1 is connected to the reference potential point and the charging voltage of the first capacitor C1 is used as the pump-up voltage; Upon input of a signal having a short vertical flyback period such as the signal from personal computers, the total of the charging voltages at the first and second capacitors C1 and C2 is used as the pump-up voltage.

Abstract: A switching system comprising a switching structure (1130) for routing cells from a set of M
input ports towards a set of M output ports. The systems further includes a set of distributed
individual Switch Core Access Layer elements (S.C.A.L.) (1000) which communicating with one
input and output port of the switching structure by means of a set of serial communication links
(1400, 1600). Each SCAL element provides attachment to at least one Protocol Adapter
(Protocol Engine 1600- 1900), and comprises a set of circuits (PINT 511-515; 611-614), each
PINT circuit being associated with a corresponding one of said at least Protocol Adapter
(Protocol Engine 1600-1900). The receive part of each circuit receives the data cells from the
attached Protocol Adapter (Protocol Engine 1600) and includes at least one first FIFO storage
(701-704) for storing the cells being received. Additionaly, there is introduced at least one extra
byte to every cell, which at least one extra byte is reserved for a routing header dedicated for
controlling either the routing process within the switching structure. Each transmit part of the
destination PINT circuit comprises at least one second FIFO storage (801-802) having a
substantially greater capacity than said of said first FIFO storage. Every Transmit part receives all
the cells that are generated at the corresponding output port but uses the at least one extrabyte for
determining whether or not the cell is to be entered into the at least second FIFO contained in a
considered PINT circuit. Additionaly, each distributed individual SCAL element comprises
control means for performing Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) access of the at least one first
FIFO and second FIFO so that the high rate communication between the switching structure and
SCALs can be distributed between the different Protocol Adapters. A set of serializer/deserializer
permit the use of cheap serialized communication links between the centralized switching system
and the different SCAL elements.
