Title: Innovations of Joseph B Tompkins

Introduction

Joseph B Tompkins is a notable inventor based in Westborough, MA (US), recognized for his contributions to network packet processing technology. He holds a total of 12 patents, showcasing his expertise and innovative spirit in the field.

Latest Patents

Among his latest patents, Tompkins has developed a system for packet output processing. This circuit manages the transmittal of packets in a network packet processor. It includes a packet descriptor manager (PDM), a packet scheduling engine (PSE), and a packet engines and buffering module (PEB). The PDM generates a metapacket and a descriptor from a command signal, which identifies a packet to be transmitted. The PSE determines the order of transmission based on information in the metapacket. Once scheduled, the PEB processes the packet according to the descriptor instructions and transmits it to the destination. Another significant patent involves packet shaping in a network processor, where the PSE compares the packet transmission rate against peak and committed rates to determine the order of transmission.

Career Highlights

Tompkins has worked with prominent companies in the technology sector, including Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. and Cavium, Inc. His work has significantly impacted the efficiency and effectiveness of network communications.

Collaborations

Some of his notable coworkers include Wilson Parkhurst Snyder, II and Daniel J Lussier. Their collaboration has contributed to advancements in the field of network processing.

Conclusion

Joseph B Tompkins is a distinguished inventor whose work in network packet processing has led to significant technological advancements. His patents reflect a deep understanding of the complexities of network communications and continue to influence the industry.
