Title: Innovations of Kenneth N Schaff
Introduction
Kenneth N Schaff is an accomplished inventor based in Warrenville, IL (US). He holds 2 patents that showcase his expertise in advanced systems and methods for data management and processing.
Latest Patents
One of his notable patents is a system and method for monitoring the validity of circulating pointers. This invention describes a process for enforcing the validity of circulating pointers stored in a pointer FIFO (first-in-first-out) memory. The system generates one or more target pointers and compares them to circulating pointers. If a pointer does not circulate through the system within a pre-specified time, an error is reported. Additionally, if a circulating pointer matches a target pointer, it is suppressed by being removed from the set of circulating pointers. This process continues to verify the validity of the circulating pointers.
Another significant patent is for a high bandwidth packet switch. This invention comprises a fast packet switch with a buffer directly connected between multiple input and output ports to ensure rapid throughput of data packets. The system allocates a pointer to a location in the buffer upon receiving a notification of an incoming packet. The input port delivers the packet to the designated location, and after transmission, the output port retrieves the data packet using the pointer.
