Abstract:
The application provides a receiver device (40) of a data packet communication network (13). The receiver device (40) comprises a receiver unit, a decoder unit (40) and, a data validity module. The receiver unit receives data packets. The decoder unit (40) decodes the received data packets. The data validity module comprises a data validity unit (37) and a data validity controller unit (39). The data validity unit (37) generates data validity information of the received data packet. The data validity controller unit (39) is connected with the decoder unit (40) and causes the decoder unit (40) to abort the decoding of the data packet if the data validity information indicates that the data packet is invalid.

Abstract:
The application provides a component flight-hour updating module (10) of an aircraft. The module comprises at least one Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID) tag (16; 54) being attached to at least one component (15) and a component flight-hour updating device. The RFID tag (16; 54) stores component flight-hour information. The component flight-hour updating device (21) comprises an RFID antenna, a first port, a memory unit, a processor unit, and a second port. The RFID antenna is communicatively connected to the RFID tag (16; 54) to retrieve the component flight-hour information. The first port is for communicatively connecting to an onboard flight-hour measurement device to retrieve aircraft flight-hour information. The memory unit stores the component flight-hour information and the aircraft flight- hour information. The processor unit determines updated component flight-hour information using the stored component flight-hour information and the stored aircraft flight-hour information. The RFID antenna also stores the updated component flight-hour information in the RFID tag (16; 54). The second port is communicatively connected to a device for displaying the at least one updated component flight-hour information.

Abstract:
An apparatus includes a plurality of call controllers that are capable of establishing a plurality of communication sessions over a packet network using a plurality of signaling protocols. The apparatus also includes an application controller that is capable of supporting one or more supplementary services during each of the communication sessions. As particular examples, the application controller and at least one of the call controllers are capable of at least one of: placing at least one of the communication sessions on hold so a user may initiate another of the communication sessions, placing at least one of the communication sessions on hold so the user may accept another of the communication sessions, and establishing a conference using at least two of the communication sessions. The communication sessions may use a common signaling protocol or different signaling protocols.
Abstract:
A system and method is disclosed for implementing a multipoint control unit in an endpoint that is participating in and managing a multipoint audio conference in a packet network. The multipoint control unit establishes audio communications between a plurality of endpoints of the packet network, mixes audio communications from the plurality of endpoints, and provides echo cancellation for the endpoint that is managing the multipoint audio conference.
