Abstract:
A system and method comprising a buffer configured to receive a data stream, a parser configured to parse the data stream from the buffer, and one or more processing units configured to co-process the data stream from the buffer responsive to the parsing by the parser, and then provide at least a portion of the processed data stream back to the buffer for additional parsing by the parser.
Abstract:
A thermistor is pulsed with energy, and a time constant of decay of temperature is calculated based on measured resistance of the thermistor over a number of known intervals. The time constant is representative of the mass air flow. The ambient air temperature may be found without waiting for the thermistor to reach the ambient air temperature.
Abstract:
A switching system includes a switch fabric that includes groups of buffers for each port interface device that communicates with external communication devices through an Ethernet plane. The port interface device is formed to receive congestion ratings reflecting buffer usage within the switch fabric for each device coupled to transmit and receive packets through the switching fabric and to determine whether to route to the switching fabric or drop the packet based upon the congestion rating of the destination device and upon a quality of service rating for the packet.
Abstract:
A machine includes an internal combustion engine, and an exhaust particulate filter system coupled therewith having an exhaust particulate filter for trapping particulates in exhaust from the internal combustion engine. A control system for the exhaust particulate filter includes a sensing mechanism such as an RF soot sensor and a data processor coupled with the sensing mechanism and configured to output a moisture compensation signal responsive to a pattern of inputs from the sensing mechanism indicative of moisture within the exhaust particulate filter, for controlling regeneration thereof.
Abstract:
A system, method and computer program product for scalable metadata acceleration with datapath metadata backup as disclosed includes providing a plurality of metadata comprising variable block pointers for the physical location of system data. The method also includes storing at least a first and a second metadata in two or more solid state memories accelerated with respect to a read and a write of a memory in a datapath, each solid state memory configured as a logical copy of the other. The method additionally includes interleaving a backup metadata in a datapath memory at a variable interval based on a table of block pointers. The method further includes querying the accelerated metadata for an accelerated datapath operation of the system and querying the interleaved metadata and/or a logical mirror of the accelerated metadata for a rebuild operation of the accelerated metadata, each query determinable by the table of block pointers.
Abstract:
A method for creating multiple tagged clinical trial data and a tool therefrom is disclosed. The method comprises receiving clinical trial information from different sources, and removing redundancies from the clinical trial information received from the plurality of sources to form collated clinical trial data. The method further involves baseline tagging of the collated clinical data using non-indication parameters, creating a disease specific list of indication parameters, where indication parameters are classified into at least main indication parameters and sub indication parameters. The method further includes advanced tagging of the collated clinical trial data using indication parameters and creating multiple tagged clinical data using baseline tagging and advanced tagging.
Abstract:
A method for emulating a nexthop instruction in microcode with the assistance of dedicated hardware to extract read and write addressing from the nexthop instruction instead of performing this operation in microcode. A method for emulating a nexthop instruction in microcode with the assistance of dedicated hardware to compare a nexthop read address to a special value and to indicate whether the nexthop read address matches the special value, instead of performing this operation in microcode. A method for determining a network address by performing a single extraction of bit fields of a tree instruction to allow multiple tree search processes to be performed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and devices that support mobility of a client across a campus, particularly mobility across VLANs and subnets, while preserving the client's assigned IP address. Both layer 2 and layer 3 packets are supported. Mobility support most clearly applies to wireless clients, but could apply to other kinds of mobile connections, even to wired connections. A smart server is adapted to support multiple VLANs and to modify and redirect packets in sessions with a client that moves from one VLAN to another, preserving the client's assigned EP address. Two or more smart servers, in cooperation with a smart manger, modify packets and tunnel them between smart servers when a client that moves from one VLAN to another and from one smart server to another, again preserving the client's assigned IF address. A similar approach applies to support mobility of a client that moves between subnets that are supervised by two smart servers, with the second smart server acting on behalf of the first smart server and tunneling packets back and forth to the first smart server. Particular aspects of the present invention are described in the claims, specification and drawings.
Abstract:
A blower is formed with multiple sets of rotatable rings of blades coupled to each other. Multiple inlet rings are correspondingly coupled to the multiple sets of rotatable rings of blades. In one embodiment, the blades may be forward facing blades and include a volute to accomplish pressure recovery. In further embodiments, the blades are backward facing. Such backward facing blades are designed to provide a static pressure rise. In some embodiment, three or more rings of blades with corresponding inlet rings are utilized.
Abstract:
A uniform heat dissipating and cooling heat sink for increasing conductive cooling at locations where conductive cooling and temperature differential is reduced. The heat sink includes a base having a variable thickness with a maximum thickness at the interior thereof and a plurality of fins upstanding from the base with adjacent fins separated by a flow channel having diverging sides.
