Latest Patents

Buchholz’s patent, “Packet Handling Method,” describes a network interface architecture for a packet switch that combines voice and data using a common packet structure. The design dynamically allocates bandwidth according to system loading, including reallocating capacity between voice and data portions of a frame.

The architecture synchronizes control and data memories so bandwidth allocation can be adjusted efficiently. It also supports two packet-transfer approaches: routing packets through the network interface using the NI-Bus, or allowing packet devices to transfer packets directly between one another. NI Base Registers facilitate bandwidth reallocation, while a single switching device coordinates packet data and bandwidth control. The patent further describes high-bit-rate control of packet devices, including operation at rates such as 40 Mbps.

Career Highlights

Buchholz’s documented patent work is associated with Motorola Corporation. The packet-handling method highlights an approach to integrating voice and data traffic while coordinating packet transfers and bandwidth allocation.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Thomas A. Freeburg and Lisa B. Johanson as Buchholz’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or describe particular collaborative contributions.

Conclusion

Dale R. Buchholz’s packet-handling patent presents a flexible network interface design for combining voice and data, dynamically allocating bandwidth, and coordinating packet transfers through synchronized control and switching.
