Title: Innovations by Robert H. Hoem

Introduction

Robert H. Hoem is a notable inventor based in San Jose, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of digital transport systems, holding a total of 5 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and functionality of digital multimedia transport packets.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Direct memory access execution engine with indirect addressing of circular queues in addition to direct memory addressing." This invention provides a method for improving transport packet demultiplexing and distribution in a digital transport demultiplexing system. The system inputs a stream of digital multimedia transport packets, each containing a packet identifier (PID) that corresponds to a specific digital program or elementary stream. Local packet information is generated for each transport packet, which aids in their identification and distribution. A local header is created, linking it to the corresponding transport packet to form a modified transport packet. This innovation ensures that each modified transport packet is self-contained, with local distribution information included. Additionally, the patent describes a transport stream demultiplexing apparatus that utilizes direct memory access (DMA) instructions for efficient transfer of transport packets to output queues, while also descrambling their contents during the DMA operation.
