摘要： A communication device which includes a hardware trie search facility. At least part of a memory is divided into memory blocks, each of said blocks consisting of a multiplicity of locations, at least some of said locations each providing when accessed a pointer to another block and an indication of the size of the block. A shift register holds an address key, and a trie block is accessed using an address composed of a number of bits related to said indication of the size of the block. The key is shifted by said number of bits prior to a subsequent stage of the search. Part of the memory comprises an associated data table which includes entries of data enabling a packet to be forwarded and at least some locations in said blocks provide when accessed a pointer to an entry in the associated data table.

摘要： A forwarding database in a network switch is established and maintained by performing a look-up for a source address read from an incoming frame to find a match between the source address in the frame and the source address in an entry which includes that source address, a port number and an age field. New entries are made if matches are not found, so that the forwarding database facilitates the dispatch of frames to destination addresses corresponding to source addresses in the table. The switch maintains a system age, such as a two-bit field, which is changed from time to time and the current system age is entered in the table as the age field when a source address entry is made. When said source address is found by a look-up process, it is updated with the current system age only if the age field of the entry and the current system age do not correspond. There is a saving of bandwidth arising from the avoidance of write cycles when an age field of an entry corresponds to the current system age.

摘要： Port mirroring is achieved between ports on separate devices in a stack of communication devices by establishing a protocol for communications within a cascade connection forming the stack in which an indication is given of whether the communication is being sent to the mirror port in addition to its intended destination. This avoids increasing the volume of traffic in the cascade connection as would be the case if the original and mirror copy were sent separately.

摘要： A method and system for performing retail transactions allows use of a wireless device in lieu of conventional financial cards. A retail system sends customer-independent transaction data, which is matched with a customer account associated with a wireless device. A customer sends a wireless communication from a wireless device to a server. The server identifies the wireless device and identifies a customer account associated with the wireless device. The customer account and the customer-independent transaction data are matched together, authorizing the retail transaction. When multiple retail transactions occur within a short time, a matching technique scores matches between multiple retail transactions and multiple customer-initiated wireless communications.

摘要： A program tool automatically generating interconnect logic for a system-on-a-chip is based on a library of operational cores and on a architecture which requires all data exchange between cores to proceed via shared memory, which may be ‘off-chip’. The architecture includes a data aggregation technique for access to memory with successive levels of arbitration.

摘要： A pipelined image processor is disclosed which contains a diagnostic apparatus which, under normal processing conditions, is coupled to and is in communication with resequencer, image processor, and transposer/compressor assemblies contained within the pipelined image processor. The diagnostic apparatus of this invention causes a diagnostic test pattern to be sent to the re-sequencer and image processor entities of the pipelined image processor and monitors the response thereof. This response is then used to detect faults which have occurred in these entities.

摘要： The present invention provides an auditory test and compensation method for an audio system comprising an audio device coupled to an audio output means and a listener of the audio device. The method comprises the steps of: delivering a series of audio stimuli through the audio output means; capturing a listener's response to the audibility of the stimuli; calculating a compensation print from the frequency response; deriving a filter from the calculated compensation print with respect to the frequencies associated with the frequency response and applying the filter to an audio signal of the audio system.

摘要： A network switch which allows a network processor to process resultant data from a look-up engine while the look-up engine proceeds to deal with a subsequent packet. The look-up engine stores the resultant data in registers from which the resultant data is written back for the packet if the processor does not intervene. If the processor intervenes it acts on the resultant data, which is written back for the packet only after the processor has finished. A system of pointers and busy bits ensures that the packet is not forwarded until the look-up engine and (if required) the network processor have completed their operations in relation to the packet.
