20110228768 | MEDIA EXTRACTOR - A system generates one or more media streams from time-stamped packets received over a network. The packets may include audio, video, or a combination of both, sampled at a rate determined by a master media clock at a transmitter of the time-stamped packets or at some other node on the network. Timestamps in the packets may be presentation times based on values of a remote real-time clock at the transmitter that is synchronized with a local real-time clock at a receiver. The system may generate the media streams from the media stream samples and present the sampled data according to the presentation times. | 09-22-2011 |
20110228888 | MEDIA CLOCK RECOVERY - A system recovers a local media clock from a master media clock based on time-stamped packets received from a transmitter. The packets may include audio, video, or a combination of both, sampled at a rate determined by the master media clock at the transmitter. Timestamps in the packets may be based on values of a remote real-time counter at the transmitter that is synchronized with a local real-time counter at a receiver. The local media clock may be syntonized with the master media clock through the clock periods. The clocks may be synchronized by syntonizing the clocks and adjusting the phase of the local media clocks based on timestamps and a real-time counter. | 09-22-2011 |
20110231565 | STREAM IDENTIFIER HASH TABLE - A system may route media stream samples in time-stamped packets to a media interface. The system may determine a hash value from a stream identifier that identifies a source media stream corresponding to the media stream samples. The hash value may be determined based on a combination of a first portion of the stream identifier and a second portion of the stream identifier. The system may determine whether the stream identifier identifies a subscribed media stream by looking up the hash value in a hash table. The system may route the media stream samples to a media interface if source media stream is a subscribed media stream. | 09-22-2011 |
20110231566 | MEMORY MANAGEMENT UNIT - A memory management unit (MMU) may buffer media stream samples of one or more media streams, such as audio and/or video streams, in a buffer. The MMU may determine how much time a media stream sample is to be buffered by comparing a value of a real-time clock with a timestamp associated with the media stream sample. The MMU may determine a target output block in the buffer for the media stream sample based on the period of a media clock and on the amount of buffer time that the media stream sample is to be buffered. The target output block is determined relative to an output block identified by a read address. The MMU may store the media stream sample in the target output block. The MMU may increase or decrease the read address at a rate determined by the media clock. | 09-22-2011 |
20110231628 | SYSTEM FOR MEMORY INSTANTIATION AND MANAGEMENT - A system for memory instantiation in a programmable logic device (PLD) includes a computing device having a processor and memory coupled with the PLD. The processor is configured to receive memory parameters including at least a data width and a data depth. The processor is also configured to determine a number and sizes of block random access memory (BRAM) primitives required for data storage based on the memory parameters and based on one or more sizes of BRAM primitives available on the programmable logic device. In one example, the processor minimizes a size of the total number of BRAMs required for instantiation on the PLD. The processor is also configured to instantiate the determined number and corresponding sizes of the BRAM primitives in logic for configuration of the programmable logic device to include a device memory within the available BRAM primitives thereof corresponding to the determined number and sizes of the BRAM primitives. | 09-22-2011 |
20120310465 | VEHICLE NAGIVATION SYSTEM - A navigation system may include a positioning device for generating a position data signal, a geographical data storage device for generating a digital map data signal, a processing device for generating navigation information based on the position data signal and the digital map data signal, and a turn control device for generating output signals to activate and/or deactivate turn signals of the vehicle and/or to enable an autonomous vehicle control system to perform a driving maneuver. The turn control device may analyze the navigation information to detect when the distance to an approaching turn fails to exceed a predetermined limit or when the turn has been completed or bypassed. The turn control device may analyze the navigation information and a velocity data signal generated by a velocity sensing device to detect when the time to the approaching turn fails to exceed a predetermined limit. | 12-06-2012 |

The processor and the network interface controller may communicate over the internal bus. The computing device may operate in a system that generates one or more media streams from time-stamped packets received over a network. The packets may include audio, video, or a combination of both, sampled at a rate determined by a master media clock. Timestamps in the packets may be presentation times based on values of a remote real-time clock at the transmitter that is synchronized with a local real-time clock at a receiver. The system may generate the media streams from the media stream samples and present the sampled data according to the presentation times. | 01-03-2013 |
20130138800 | SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZING LATENCY IN AN AVB NETWORK - A network communication system includes a talker that may communicate a data stream having an optimal presentation time to a plurality of listeners over a network, such as an Ethernet Audio/Video Bridging network. The optimal presentation time may be determined by a maximum latency among a plurality of latencies for connections between the talker and the listeners. A controller may communicate with the listeners to determine the maximum latency. The controller may also provide the maximum latency to the talker and the listeners. The talker may determine the optimal presentation time based on the maximum latency. The listeners may allocate an optimum amount of resources to buffer the data stream before the data in the data stream is presented. | 05-30-2013 |
20130246850 | SYSTEM FOR REMOTE INSTALLED SOUND COMPLIANCE TESTING - A network communication system includes a central control system that may transmit a request packet over a network to an apparatus that is configured to operate in an alarm system. The alarm system may be configured in accordance with a standard or protocol. The request packet may include instructions that instruct the apparatus to perform one or more tests that determine whether the apparatus is compliant with the standard or protocol. The apparatus may be configured to receive the packet from over the network and perform the tests in accordance with the instructions. The apparatus may report test results of the tests to the central control system by sending a reply packet that includes the test results over the network to the central control system. | 09-19-2013 |
