Abstract:
In one embodiment, a system comprises at least one processor and a peripheral interface controller coupled to the processor. Further coupled to receive transactions from a peripheral interface, the peripheral interface controller is configured to accumulate freed credits for a given transaction type of a plurality of transaction types that are not yet returned to a transmitter on the peripheral interface. The peripheral interface controller is also configured to cause transmission of a flow control update transaction on the peripheral interface responsive to a number of the freed credits exceeding a threshold amount that is less than a total number of credits allocated to the given transaction type.
Abstract:
A system and method for handling address resolution protocol requests at an intermediary device in a local area network. The intermediary device has an address resolution protocol cache for mapping Internet protocol addresses to physical layer addresses for devices in the local area network. The intermediary device receives a multicast address resolution protocol request having an Internet protocol address for a device on the local area network. The address resolution protocol address contained in the multicast address resolution protocol request is extracted and the address resolution protocol cache is accessed to seek to obtain a physical layer address mapped to the extracted Internet protocol address. As a result, a directed address resolution protocol request is forwarded from the intermediary device to the local area network device corresponding to the physical layer address obtained from the intermediary device data memory.
Abstract:
A method for conserving battery power in a wireless device coupled through an access point to a server in a network, the server being coupled to at least one client in the network, each of the wireless device, the at least one client, and the access point having a respective hardware address, the method comprising: receiving at the server through the access point a message indicative of the wireless device joining the network and providing the hardware address of the wireless device; updating a list of hardware addresses for clients in the network to include the hardware address of the wireless device, the list including a respective Internet Protocol (“IP”) address for each hardware address; and, sending from the server to at least one of the wireless device, the at least one client, and the access point, the updated list of hardware addresses to thereby reduce a number of request messages broadcast on the network for information that is contained in the updated list that the wireless device need leave a sleep mode to process.
Abstract:
Pigment from plant products can be combined with a cosmetic carrier formulation to create a cosmetic and/or dermatological product for transferring color to the skin of the person. A plant product extract or reformulation, such as a concentrate, flake or powder of the plant, can be combined with a cosmetic carrier formulation to create a cosmetic and/or dermatological product for transferring color to the skin of the person. In some embodiments, fruits, vegetables, seeds and legumes can be used to extract natural pigment or reformulate a plant product into a concentrate, flake or powder. Resultant cosmetic products can include lipstick, lip gloss, lip stain, lip liner, blush, face tint, cheek stain, cheek gel, cheek butter, eye shadow, eyebrow powder, eyeliner, mascara, foundation, sheer foundation, bronzer, facial illuminator, facial highlighter, face powder, lotion and tinted moisturizer.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a controller comprises one or more transaction queues, one or more age counter circuits, and a control circuit. The transaction queues are configured to store a plurality of transaction requests, each having a transaction type. The age counter circuits are configured to generate one or more age counters, where each age counter corresponds to a respective pair of transaction types. Coupled to receive an indication of an input transaction type corresponding to an input transaction request to the controller and coupled to the age counter circuits, the control circuit is configured to select at least one of the plurality of age counters to be stored with the input transaction request in the one or more transaction queues, each of the selected counters indicative of a relative age of the input transaction request with transaction requests of another transaction type.
Abstract:
The use of color pigment from fruits and vegetables for cosmetic purposes of coloring the skin such as staining lips, flushing cheeks and enhancing the eyes. These pigments can be used in lip sticks, lip stains, cheek stains, blush, eye liner, eye shadow, mascara, eyebrow powder/pencil, sheer to full coverage foundation, bronzer, highlighter. Color pigments can be found in fruits and vegetables in the form of carotenoids, chlorophyll, anthocyanin and anthoxanthin among others. Previously these colors have been used only to color cosmetic products themselves, not for coloring the skin.
Abstract:
An access point is to transmit delivery traffic indication messages at different periods of beacon frames for different wireless client devices associated with the access point. A client device may store an indication of a preferred period of beacon frames at which to listen to delivery traffic indication messages when in power save mode. The client device may adjust its preferred period according to predefined considerations, for example a charge level of a battery to power the client device and/or an expected usage model for the client device. A client device may negotiate its preferred period with the access point.
Abstract:
A method for preventing an emission head or arm assembly from entering an exclusion zone or for preventing a collision between an object and the emission head and/or arm assembly. The method may include modeling a treatment room using a computer-aided design (CAD) tool, and calculating an exclusion zone for a radiosurgery system in the treatment room using the modeled treatment room.
Abstract:
Multi-chip semiconductor device assemblies and methods for fabricating such assemblies are provided. An exemplary assembly comprises a first chip having a first surface and comprising a plurality of conductive pads disposed at the first surface and a plurality of circuits. Each of the pads is electrically coupled to one of the circuits. A second chip having a second surface is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the first chip. The second chip comprises a plurality of bonding members disposed at the second surface. Each of the bonding members is connected to a corresponding pad. The second chip is electrically coupled to at least one of the circuits via a corresponding pad and a corresponding bonding member. The second chip comprises a first and a second portion. The first portion overlies at least a portion of the first chip and the second portion extends beyond the first chip.
Abstract:
A carton for containing a number of articles with each article having an article diameter. The carton includes a front wall, a hinged flap positioned on the front wall, and an access flap positioned on the front wall adjacent to the hinged flap. The access flap has a height less than the article diameter such that the articles are retained within the carton by the hinged flap when the access flap is removed.
