| 20120121265 | Apparatus And Method For Two-Stage Optical Network - A manner of providing an energy-efficient two-stage PON using a multistage-PON repeater to forward data traffic and other communications between the first stage and the second stage. The multistage-PON repeater receives BI-PON transmission frames from and OLT and decimates them, forwarding data intended for end devices of the second stage. The multistage-PON repeater rate adapts the transmissions so that faster speeds may be associated with PON first stage communications and slower speeds are associated with PON second stage communications. Many though not all of the multistage-PON components are configured to operate at the slower clock speed, conserving energy. Upstream transmissions from the end devices of the second stage are buffered in the multistage-PON repeater and forwarded to the OLT according to an allocation schedule received from the OLT in a BI-PON frame. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20130089330 | Method And Apparatus For Efficient Operation Of A Passive Optical Communications Access Network - A method and apparatus for providing an efficient optical access network. In a preferred embodiment, a single light source is used to generate light in a network node, such as an OLT (optical line terminal). The generated light is then distributed using an optical splitter to a plurality of outputs, each associated with an ONU. The distributed light intended for a particular ONU (optical network unit) is modulated, for example by an EOM (electro-optical modulator), with a signal carrying communications for the intended ONU. The OLT includes a bank of EOMs or other kind of optical modulators, such as EAMs for serving a plurality of ONUs. The OLT may also include a second light source for generating light that is propagated to one or more of the ONUs for their use in forming upstream transmissions. | 04-11-2013 |
| 20140334811 | Apparatus And Method For Conserving Power In A Passive Optical Network - An apparatus and method for cost-effectively conserving power in a PON. Protection ports, usually on a protection LT card, are configured to communicate with a selectable one of the downstream ODN splitter/combiners associated with the primary ports on the remaining LT cards of the OLT. Each protection port includes at least a splitter for distributing a transmitted signal from a light source to a plurality of switched protection fibers, and may have an optical amplifier to provide for lossless or low-loss distribution. Each port may also have a combiner for combining received signals from a plurality of switched protection fibers. Traffic flow through the OLT is monitored and when it is determined that traffic flow has reached a threshold level, traffic is routed via a protection port instead of a primary port. If the traffic rerouted to a protection card, then the method may further include powering down the primary LT card or placing it in a mode having reduced power consumption. | 11-13-2014 |

| 20110044446 | Prioritized Call Sessions - A local network call handling device is configured to establish multiple concurrent call sessions between local network end devices and an external network. When a prioritized end device attempts to establish a call session, the call handling device may initially determine if a first call session identifier is available. If so, the call session can be established using that first identifier. If the first identifier is in use for a call session of another end device, the call handling device may either use a different call session identifier for the prioritized end device session or may drop a pre-existing call session to free an identifier for use in connection with the prioritized end device. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20080229580 | Method of manufacturing a brazed micro-channel cold plate heat exchanger assembly - The invention relates to a method of making a brazed micro-channel cold plate assembly for cooling a heat producing electronic component. The primary components of a cold plate assembly are a base plate, a manifold cover, and inlet/outlet pipes; wherein the individual components are assembled and brazed into an integral unit. The joining surfaces of the individual components have novel features that provide for permanent bonding of the joints by brazing and a hermetic seal along the joint seams. The novel features also forestall excess braze alloy from contaminating the interior surfaces of the assembled cold plate and obstructing the engineered flow channels. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080247874 | Dual flow fan heat sink application - A cooling system includes a fan assembly that is rotated to move air in a primary path through a housing. The fan assembly includes a hub and a plurality of spaced reinforcing ribs that establish channels between a motor casing and the interior of the hub. A heat sink assembly is axially spaced from a hub bottom to define an air cavity that is in communication with a gap. The hub includes a tube that defines an air passage to establish communication with the cavity. A plurality of air vanes extend in a spiral path from the hub bottom and into the air cavity to move air through the air passage and create turbulence over the heat sink assembly. The air vanes move the air over the heat sink assembly and through the air passage to establish communication between the channels and the air cavity. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20080301941 | Method of manufacturing a cold plate heat exchanger assembly having a metallic compliant gasket - The subject invention provides a method of manufacturing an all-metal cold plate heat exchanger assembly for removing excess heat from a heat generating electronic component. The cold plate assembly includes a base plate having micro-channels and associated micro-fins, a manifold plate having alternating channels, and a manifold cover, wherein the manifold plate cooperates with the micro-channels to form an engineered pathway for coolant flow. This method assures a tight interface sealing between the contact surfaces of the alternating channels of the manifold plate and the coplanar surfaces of the micro-fins that would prevent coolant by-pass flow, but without clogging or jeopardizing the flow through the micro-channels. This method utilizes a layer of recast metallic particulates, which is a natural by-product of laser machining, as a compliant gasket material between the coplanar edges of the alternating channels and the coplanar edges of the micro-fins. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090078396 | Thermosiphon for laptop computers comprising a boiling chamber with a square wave partition - The invention provides for an orientation insensitive heat exchanger assembly for cooling an electronic device comprising a hermetically sealed housing defining a boiling chamber and two condensing chambers. A partition is disposed in the boiling chamber and defines two sets of alternating channels extending in overlapping relationship to one another and with one set of alternating channels open to one of the condensing chambers and the other set of alternating channels open to the other condensing chamber for sealing the condensing chambers from one another. Coolant is maintained in each of the condensing chambers. In operation, if the thermosiphon is tilted with one side lower than the other, the channels open to the lower side are empty of coolant into the lower condensing chamber while the channels open to the opposite upper side hold the coolant over the entire boiling chamber aligning with an electronic device to continue cooling. | 03-26-2009 |
