An alternative approach to coping with the ever increasing demand for faster communications hardware is to design modems that are capable of operating its speeds at a higher data rate than a speed required for a single port of the standard communication rate for that modem. Basically by utilizing a resource , manager, that directs the data in and out of the various portions of the modem in an orderly manner, keeping track of which of the ports is being operated at any given point in time, a standard single port modem can be reconfigured for , example, at an over clocked rate to manipulate the data input and output of a modem.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 23, 2001 and granted November 15, 2011. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 23, 2021.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 23, 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.
