Schwartz, Scottsdale, Ariz., for "methods and systems for combining timing signals for transmission over a serial interface."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Apparatus, systems, and methods are provided for transmitting messages over a serial interface. A method comprises receiving a first signal at a first time and receiving a second signal at a second time, the second time being after the first time. If a difference between the second time and the first time is less than a threshold time period, the method comprises generating a first message that is representative of the first signal and the second signal and transmitting the first message over the serial interface. In accordance with one embodiment, the threshold time period is equal to one half of an interface acquisition delay time period associated with the serial interface."
The patent application was filed on Feb. 25, 2009 (12/392,841). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,170,166&OS=8,170,166&RS=8,170,166

Broadcom Assigned Patent for Enhanced Channel Changing within Multi-channel Communication Systems
ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 4 -- Broadcom, Irvine, Calif., has been assigned a patent (8,169,926) developed by Thomas J. Kolze, Phoenix, and Bruce J. Currivan, Irvine, Calif., for "enhanced channel changing within multi-channel communication systems."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Enhanced channel changing within multi-channel communication systems. A CMTS directs channel changing of a CM, sometimes between upstream data bursts. Logical channels, part of a single frequency channel, may be used, and the channel changing may be performed between those logical channels. Multiple upstream burst profiles and/or modulation densities may be used providing high degrees of robustness, fidelity, and throughput and allowing great channel flexibility. A CM may be switched between channels without losing transmitter capability. Even if some throughput rate may be sacrificed during the channel changing, the CM will still be able to continue data throughput. Then, the new channel may then undergo the initialization and ranging processes thereby enabling greater throughput on that new channel. After undergoing the initialization and ranging processes, the new channel will then be a fully equivalent member of the CM communication system."
The patent application was filed on Feb. 29, 2005 (12/039,763). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,169,926&OS=8,169,926&RS=8,169,926
