An apparatus for charging an electric vehicle includes a DC voltage source, and a charge dispenser connected to the DC voltage source. The charge dispenser is configured to receive first data from a remote clearinghouse and to control charging of the electric vehicle based at least in part on that received first data.

Distributed charge management system for electric vehicles

An apparatus for providing transportation includes an electric vehicle having a battery, an electric motor, a transceiver, and a battery manager. The battery manager includes a controller configured to control flow of charge between said battery and the electric motor at least in part in response to information received by the transceiver.

Distributed battery management system for remote repletion of electric vehicles

A telephone switch in which communication between tasks controlling the switch hardware and the timing of those tasks, including the timing of repeating tasks, is controlled through a mail system in which mail messages are sent between tasks that may be running on separate microprocessors. The mail messages specify the destination task, the function that the task is to perform and any desired delay before the mail is to be delivered to the destination task. Repeating tasks send mail to themselves each time they repeat, specifying in the mail message the task to be repeated and the desired delay interval. A mail task holds the mail for the specified delay interval before it is delivered, and receipt of a mail message causes the task to run.

A clocking mechanism with improved fault tolerance for synchronizing a distributed processing system includes a plurality of distributed clock sources. Each clock source may operate as a master clock for synchronizing the operations of the entire system or as a slave to an external clock while remaining available, in a backup capacity, to operate as a master clock in the event of a failure in the previous master clock. A clock selection mechanism is provided in each distributed switch element for selecting the best clock available to each switch element for synchronization. A failure recovery mechanism is provided with fast and automatic recovery in the event of a failure in a master clock. A data extraction mechanism is also provided capable of sampling a bit stream that is not phase-aligned, even in the presence of timing jitter and pulse width distortion, and having provisions for detecting a bit slip.

Distributed clocking system

A conferencing device and method among terminals in a distributed digital telephone switching system is provided. The telephone switching system has a plurality of switching elements for interconnecting telephone units and telephone lines via communication links. A duplex path is set between each party in the conference and a designated bridge port. The speech from all the parties in the conference is summed and at the bridge port the sum is sent back to all engaged in the conference. As each party receives the sum, it subtracts its own speech data and therefore obtains the speech data from the other parties in the conference.

Conferencing system for distributed switching network

A communication switching system with distributed control processing is provided. The system includes a digital switching network having a modular array of intelligent digital switching elements each having processors and memory to set up communication paths for voice and data between the terminal module processors such as line cards and telephone units. Each addressable location in the system is assigned a logical address code (LAC). When a route is requested, a switch element processor interprets the destination LAC and selects a route through the switch toward the destination with each switch element in the communication path setting a route toward that destination. The switching network provides duplex paths for flexible communication. With such a duplex path speech is directed from a first terminal unit such as a telephone station and a second terminal unit such as a line card into a bridge port which sums the speech data from the two sources. The summed speech is then sent from the bridge port to the terminal units.
