Abstract:
A system is provided to deploy a computing application in a cloud using a service provider interface. The system comprises a configuration request detector, a configuration object retriever, and a configuration installer. The configuration request detector receives, at a computer system provided within a virtualization service, a configuration request. The configuration object retriever retrieves a configuration object in response to the configuration request. The configuration installer uses the configuration object, to automatically install a configuration associated with the configuration object to produce a second version of the computing application. The second version of the computing application provides additional features or services according to the definition of the configuration object.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for performing message payload processing functions in a network element on behalf of an application. According to one aspect, a network element intercepts data packets comprising network layer or transport layer headers having an address of a destination which destination differs from the network element. The network element determines whether information contained in layer 2-4 headers of the data packet satisfies specified criteria. If the information satisfies the specified criteria, the network element directs the data packets to a blade of the network element that performs processing based on an application layer message at least partially contained in the data packets. If the information does not satisfy the specified criteria, the network element forwards the data packets towards the destination without sending them to the blade.
Abstract:
A radio frequency (RF) transmitter is coupled to and controlled by a processor to transmit data. A physical layer circuit is coupled to the RF transmitter to encode and decode between a digital signal and a modulated analog signal. The physical layer circuit comprises a high rate physical layer circuit (HRP) and a low rate physical layer circuit (LRP). The low rate channels generated by the low rate physical layer circuit (LRP) share a same frequency band as a corresponding high rate channel generated by the high rate physical layer circuit (HRP).
Abstract:
An optical duobinary transmitter. The transmitter uses a half-rate precoder, half-rate non-linear modulation drive circuits and a multiplex modulator for generating duobinary modulation on an optical signal from which full-rate data can be detected without decoding. The intensity of the optical signal is modulated to be zero between data symbols.
Abstract:
A system is provided to manage cloud deployment configuration of a computing application. The system comprises a request detector, a retrieving module, a manager loader, a configuration change request detector, and a configuration module. The request detector may be configured to detect a request to install a manager agent on an instance of a virtual machine executing a computing application within a virtualization service. The retrieving module may be configured to obtain a manager agent object for loading the manager agent, and install the manager agent on the instance. The manager loader may be configured to invoke the manager agent to collect metrics for the computing application. The configuration change request detector may be configured to receive an instruction to alter cloud deployment configuration of the computing application. The configuration module may be configured to automatically alter the cloud deployment configuration of the computing application in response to the instruction.
Abstract:
A system is provided to deploy a computing application on a cloud using optimization criteria. The system comprises a launch request detector to detect a request to launch a computing application within a virtualization service, an application requirement detector to determine application requirement for the computing application, a cloud resource inventory detector to determine cloud resource inventory, an optimization requirement detector, a matching module, and a configuration module. The optimization requirement detector may be configured to determine an optimization requirement. The matching module may be configured to perform matching of the application requirement with the resource inventory based on the optimization requirement. The configuration module may be configured to generate an optimized application deployment configuration based on the result of the matching and cause launching of the computing application within the virtualization service using the optimized application deployment configuration.

Abstract:
Enhanced wireless speeds are obtained using multiple transmission beams. In one example a transmitter sends data packets through an antenna array using multiple spatial beams and a plurality of analog converters. A receiver receives feedback from a remote station, the feedback including a quality measure of data packets received from the transmitter. A processor to controls transmission parameters of the transmitter using the feedback, the processor having a plurality of states, in a first channel analysis state, the processor determining a beam-forming vector for the antenna array, in a second beam search and training state, the processor determining pre-coding coefficients for the data packets, and in a third high rate transmission state, the processor providing pre-coded data packets to the transmitter for transmission, wherein the processor transitions from the third state to the first state upon receiving a reduced quality measure from the remote station.
