Abstract: Polyethersulfones derived from dihydroxybiphenyls or dihydroxybenzenes, especially 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl, are isolated by crystallization from a solvent, preferably a water-immiscible aromatic solvent. Crystallization may be achieved by cooling from the reaction temperature to a temperature in the range of about 20-100° C., optionally with the use of a crystallization aid such as preformed polyethersulfone crystals. The crystallized polyethersulfone is then separated by filtration and by-product salts are removed therefrom by extraction with water.

Abstract: Network-units like routers generate indication signals - defining qualities for flow signals each comprising packet signals - by detecting specifiers (classifiers, identifiers, addresses) in said flow signals and by generating said indication signals in dependence of said specifiers. In this case in the network-unit all flow signals belonging to a session are treated equally. By storing flow-information in a memory and generating said indication signals further in dependence of flow-information of previous flow signals, within a session certain flow signals can be treated individually, for rewarding flow signals with a higher quality (less delay) in case a session takes longer, and taking into account a certain threshold being exceeded or not. This can be done by adjusting quality indicators in flow signals (Diffserv) and by requesting qualities for flow signals (Intserv). Said flow-information preferably comprises information about a number of flow signals per session and/or time-interval. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A telephony system and method is provided that reduces delay and provides better utilization of upstream bandwidth in delivering packet telephony services to a plurality of subscriber lines via a cable modem system. An exemplary system includes a plurality of voice processing modules, a host processor, and a buffer. Each voice processing module receives digital voice signals from a separate set of subscriber lines, compresses the digital voice signals to generate a voice packet, and transfers the voice packet to the buffer. The host processor then assembles a packet by concatenating the voice packets and transmits the assembled packet for delivery over a data network. Because the plurality of voice processing modules process the voice packets in parallel, delay is reduced in the assembly and transmission of the assembled packet.
