The disclosed method may include (1) monitoring, while a computing device receives power from an external power supply, (A) the amount of power consumed by the computing device and (B) the amount of power provided to the computing device by the external power supply, (2) detecting that the amount of power provided to the computing device exceeds the amount of power consumed by the computing device by at least a certain threshold, (3) determining, based on the amount of power provided to the computing device exceeding the amount of power consumed by the computing device by the certain threshold, that the computing device is experiencing a malfunction, and then (4) mitigating potential damage to the computing device due to the malfunction by at least partially reducing the amount of power provided to the computing device from the external power supply. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Apparatus, systems and methods for detecting electrical failures within computing devices

A communications network is made up of a number of nodes. Frames of data transported on a circuit line are received at a first node of the network and segmented into packets such that a first packet includes a first portion of data from a frame and a second packet includes a second portion of data from the frame. A frame count value is added to a header in each of the first packet and the second packet. In addition, a first offset value is added to the first header and a second offset value is added to the second header. The first and second offset values correspond to respective temporal locations of the first and second portions of data from the frame of data. The first and second packet are transmitted across the telecommunications network to a second node where they are received and played out according to the frame count value and the first and second offset values such that the first and second portions of data occupy similar respective temporal locations within a played out frame as the first and second portions occupied in the original frame.

A transport layer protocol for a compressed voice, facsimile and modem data includes a voice packetization sublayer; a voice transport sublayer; and a voice payload segmentation and reassembly sublayer. The voice payload segmentation and reassembly sublayer breaks up user data packets into segments. Each segment includes a header and a payload data unit. Voice data segments have payloads made up of voice data. Signaling payloads are made up of op codes, which define the type of signaling message, and related operands.
