A method of adding a new connection (c d) to a, time:space:time switch fabric. The fabric has a set I of k input elements, a set M of m switch elements, and a set O of l output elements. Each input element contributes one input to each switch element and, each output element receives one output from each switch element. A state S m characterizes the switch elements as a set of ordered pairs (i,j) where (i,j)~ S m if and only if the j th output element is coupled to the i th input element through one of the switch elements. The range of S m is the set of outputs of S m such that if j ~ range(S m) then (i,j) ~ S m for some i ~ I. The domain of S m is the set of inputs of S m such that if i ~ …

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 26, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended January 26, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 26, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
