In an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) disassembler unit that is receiving ATM cells from an optical interface and converting data from these cells onto a constant bit rate (CBR) call only a nominal, predefined build out is defined for each optical interface. If an ATM cell is not received within the proper amount of time for the CBR call from the optical interface, the build out is automatically adjusted so that the build out, is equal to the amount of delay that was experienced in receiving the next ATM cell for the call. Only the build out for the individual call that actually, experienced the delay of the ATM cell is redefined. The other calls being handled by the optical interface …

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 11, 1999 and granted November 4, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 11, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 11, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
