Title: Method and apparatus for dynamic bandwidth allocation of video over a digital subscriber line
Inventor: WIRICK KEVIN S
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 2007-09-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing bandwidth of video and data over DSL  is disclosed. Incoming packets of data are first inspected to determine if the data is video data or other (non-video) data. The video data is further analyzed to determine if it is intended for real-time delivery to the subscriber or if the video data is intended for viewing at a later time by the subscriber. Video data intended for real-time delivery to the subscriber is re-compressed to optimize the video quality.  Statistical multiplexing is performed on the video data for real-time delivery, the video data for viewing at a later time, and the non-video data. The bandwidth needs for the video data for real-time delivery, the video data for viewing at a later time, and the non-video data are all evaluated. Bandwidth is then allocated to the video data for real--time delivery, the video data for viewing at a later time, and the non-video data, based on the video data service quality requirements and latency sensitivity of the non-video data.

Patent CA-2627819-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEICHLITER SHAWN L
IPC: H05B39/08
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: An apparatus in an electronic control system allows two or three wire operations. A power supply (150) can supply power to the enclosed circuitry in both two and three wire installations. Two separate zero cross detectors are used such that timing information can be collected in both two and three wire installations. Both zero cross detectors (110) are monitored and are used to automatically configure the electronic control. Over voltage circuitry senses an over voltage condition across a MOSFET which is in the off state and turns the MOSFET on so that it desirably will not reach the avalanche region. Over current circuitry senses when the current through the MOSFETs has exceeded a predetermined current threshold and then turns the MOSFETs off so they do not exceed the MOSFETs' safe operating area (SOA) curve. Latching circuitry (120) is employed to keep the protection circuitry in effect even after a fault condition has cleared. Lockout circuitry (130) is used to prevent one protection circuit from tripping after the other circuit has already tripped from a fault condition. The protection circuitry output is desirably configured such that it can bypass and override the normal turn on and turn off impedance and act virtually directly on the gates of the MOSFETs. Preferably, the system has a high efficiency switching type power supply in parallel with a low frequency controllably conductive device.
