    "patent_abstract": "An interface device distributes data from a plurality of input data streams to a smaller number first data streams, and periodically inserts a set of alignment markers (AMs) into the first data streams. After using the AMs, the interface device removes the AMs and reinserts the AMs at particular positions. A forward error correction (FEC) encoder encodes data corresponding to the first data stream to generate FEC codewords and distributes data from the FEC codewords to multiple outputs streams. Within the output streams, the AMs are located at FEC codeword boundaries and bits of a first AM, among the set of AMs, are spread across multiple outputs stream. A single output data stream is generated based on the multiple output streams of the FEC encoder.",
    "precision_class": "structural",
    "invention_explanation": "A device combines several incoming data streams, places timing markers where needed, adds error-correction information, and sends the resulting data across multiple outputs.",
