Abstract:
Network traffic is monitored and an optimal framing heuristic is automatically determined and applied. Framing heuristics specify different rules for framing network traffic. While a framing heuristic is applied to the network traffic, alternative framing heuristics are speculatively evaluated for the network traffic. The results of these evaluations are used to rank the framing heuristics. The framing heuristic with the best rank is selected for framing subsequent network traffic. Each client/server traffic flow may have a separate framing heuristic. The framing heuristics may be deterministic based on byte count and/or time or based on traffic characteristics that indicate a plausible point for framing to occur. The choice of available framing heuristics may be determined partly by manual configuration, which specifies which framing heuristics are available, and partly by automatic processes, which determine the best framing heuristic to apply to the current network traffic from the set of available framing heuristics.
Abstract:
A routing validation method and system identifies routers that are likely to be the cause of differences in forwarding tables associated with two versions of a network. Each destination sub-network prefix is processed to identify all the routers that exhibit differences in their forwarding table for this prefix. Each router exhibiting a difference is assessed to determine whether the difference may have been propagated to this router from another router. If the difference could not have been propagated from another router, this router is identified as a potential source of the observed difference. By eliminating routers that could have received the effects of the differences from another router, the task of identifying the root cause of the observed differences is substantially reduced in complexity.
Abstract:
A keyboard image may be displayed on the display of a processor-based system to facilitate the entry of data. The keyboard image may include a plurality of key images which may be user selected to make data entries. The keyboard image may be positioned on the display and any data entry areas or other associated textual matter may be moved to facilitate the simultaneous display of data entry areas, associated text or graphics, and the keyboard image without substantial obstruction.
Abstract:
The present invention is suitable for use in a communications system that downloads applications over a broadcast file system (BFS). An application services interface (ASI) provides the BFS an application file including a configuration file and an image file that are stored in a service manager in set-tops. Additionally, the ASI provides the BFS a content file that is included in the application file. The provided content file is separated into service files, where each service file is associated with a particular service. When a set-top requests a service, the associated service file is subsequently loaded onto the set-top. Alternatively, a service file is stored in memory until such time as another service is requested, which at that point the older service file is removed from memory to allow space for the newly requested service file.
Abstract:
In a multiprocessor system, a primary processor may store an executable image for a secondary processor. A communication protocol assists the transfer of an image header and data segment(s) of the executable image from the primary processor to the secondary processor. Messages between the primary processor and secondary processor indicate successful receipt of transferred data, termination of a transfer process, and acknowledgement of same.
Abstract:
A system and method for enabling distributed transaction processing by moving all application logic away from the server and into the client by using an optimistic concurrency control framework with client-side transaction validation including virtual full replication under a transactional programming model with full Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID) properties.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for disambiguating names in a document corpus. In an aspect, a method includes generating context term lists for a person name, each context term list being a list of context terms from a resource for the person name; clustering the context term lists into a plurality of clusters, each of the clusters of context term lists including context term lists that are most similar to the cluster relative to other clusters; for each of the clusters, selecting a representative term for the cluster; receiving the person name as a search query; and generating a plurality of query suggestions from the search query and the representative terms for the clusters, each query suggesting being a combination of the person name and one representative term.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a hydroxyalkyl starch conjugate and a method for preparing the same, said hydroxyalkyl starch conjugate comprising a hydroxyalkyl starch derivative and a cytotoxic agent, the cytotoxic agent comprising at least one secondary hydroxyl group, wherein the hydroxyalkyl starch is linked via said secondary hydroxyl group to the cytotoxic agent. The conjugate according to the present invention has a structure according to the following formula HAS′(-L-M)n wherein M is a residue of the cytotoxic agent, L is a linking moiety, HAS′ is the residue of the hydroxyalkyl starch derivative, and n is greater than or equal to 1, and wherein the hydroxyalkyl starch derivative has a mean molecular weight (MW) above the renal threshold.
