A method and system for location-based group conference initiation is provided. A server will receive a request from a user to initiate a media conference, and the server will then initiate a conference with members of a group who are located in a designated location. The request may indicate a group of users who are candidates to be invited to the conference, and the location at issue. Given the request, the server will determine which of the candidate users are currently located within the zone at issue. And the server will then invite each of those candidate users to participate in the conference.

Securing a virtual environment includes: in a host device, intercepting a packet addressed to a virtual machine implemented by the host device; redirecting the packet to a security device external to the host device through an egress tunnel; and delivering the packet to the virtual machine if the host device receives an indication from the security device that the packet is approved.

A method and system for detecting congestion and over-subscription in a fibre channel switch element is provided. A counter is updated if a frame cannot be transmitted due to lack of credit; then the counter value is compared to a threshold value; and an event is triggered if the counter value varies from the threshold value. Also, provided is a first register that maintains information regarding a rate at which a source port can transfer data; a counter that counts entries corresponding to a number of frames to be transmitted at a given time; and a second register that determines an over-subscription rate.

A method and system for distributing credit using a fibre channel switch element is provided. The switch element includes, a wait threshold counter that is used to set up a status for a port that has to wait for certain duration to send a frame due to lack of buffer to buffer credit; a credit module that controls buffer to buffer credit for a transmit segment of the fibre channel switch element; and a virtual lane credit module with a counter that is incremented every time a frame assigned to a virtual lane is sent and decreased every time a VC_RDY is received. The method includes, determining if a VC_RDY primitive is received; and allocating credit to a virtual lane that is not at its maximum credit, after the VC_RDY primitive is received.

A method for treating wrinkles in skin involves the use of a beam of pulsed, scanned or gated continuous wave laser or incoherent radiation. The method comprises generating a beam of radiation, directing the beam of radiation to a targeted dermal region between 100 microns and 1.2 millimeters below a wrinkle in the skin, and thermally injuring collagen in the targeted dermal region. The beam of radiation has a wavelength of between 1.3 and 1.8 microns. The method may include cooling an area of the skin above the targeted dermal region while partially denaturing the collagen in the targeted dermal region. The method may also include cooling an area of the skin above the targeted dermal region prior to thermally injuring collagen in the targeted dermal region.

A fibre channel switch element with an alias cache is provided for routing and filtering frames. The alias cache includes plural entries including a control word having plural fields including an action code for routing frames; an alias word that is compared to incoming frame data using a frame byte compare block; and a bit mask generator for filtering bit combinations from the frame byte compare block; and a depth match block for determining equality between a control word depth field and incoming frame depth field. Frame data comparison is performed on a bit by bit or byte-by-byte basis. An alias cache entry also includes prerequisite data to determine if results of a different entry are to be used to determine an entry match. The action code routes a frame to a processor, discards a frame, sets a status for inspecting a frame or routes a frame based on a standard Fibre Channel addressing scheme.

A fibre channel switch element and method for routing fibre channel frames is provided. The switch element includes a receive segment that can add a virtual storage area network (“VSAN”) tagging header to frames that are received by the receive segment; and strip the VSAN tagging header before frames are sent to ports that do not support virtual fabric capability. The receive segment includes a table used for matching fabric extension parameters. An incoming frame's VSAN identity value is compared to a control word entry to generate a value used for routing the incoming frame. The table is used to determine if a frame is part of a virtual fabric. The routing table for each port is used to route frames and the routing table includes entries for supported virtual fabrics.

A food safety management tool that utilizes a mathematical model based on differential equations that is generalized for describing the continuous growth-death kinetics of microbial populations in foodstuffs. The method is used to provide a way to control target microorganisms when designing product formulations of minimally processed foodstuffs or when processing foods with high pressures, temperatures, or other lethal agents to achieve effective pasteurization, disinfection, or sterilization of foodstuffs, and includes the use of model parameters to predict food formulations to inhibit the growth of microorganisms and the processing times needed to reduce microbial hazards to levels that ensure consumer safety.
