Title: Louis Albert McRoberts and His Patent in Packet Switching

Introduction

Louis Albert McRoberts was an inventor associated with Motorola Corporation and based in Scottsdale, Arizona. His recorded patent work concerns packet switching and the management of data moving through communication networks. McRoberts is deceased.

Latest Patents

McRoberts is credited with 1 patent: “Packet Switch with Centralized Buffering for Many Output Channels.” The invention describes a communication network in which packet-switching nodes route packets from high-speed data links to multiple low-speed data links. Each node uses bulk RAM divided into logically independent first-in, first-out buffers. A routing controller manages direct memory access transfers, placing packets into the appropriate buffers consecutively and transferring packets out in an interleaved sequence.

Career Highlights

McRoberts’s documented patent contribution reflects work on network architecture and efficient packet handling. Centralized buffering and controller-managed transfers were designed to support traffic across numerous output channels.

Collaborations

McRoberts’s listed coworkers include Gary James Lang and Karl Eric Miller. The patent record connects his work with Motorola Corporation.

Conclusion

Louis Albert McRoberts’s patent describes a packet-switching approach that uses centralized memory, independent FIFO buffers, and controlled transfers to manage network traffic across many output channels.
