Abstract:
A circuit component comprising a substrate, and a conductive layer over the substrate, wherein the conductive layer comprises a first portion between a first opening in the conductive layer and a second opening in the conductive layer, wherein the first and second openings are enclosed by the conductive layer, wherein a void is over the substrate and under the conductive layer, wherein the first portion and the first and second openings are over the void.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a locking mechanism for adjustable systems for delivering a specified dosage of a substance. The delivery system can be used to deliver, for example, a drug or a nutritional supplement to a human or veterinary patient or for delivering, for example, fertilizer in agricultural use.

More particularly, the invention relates to chewable tablets of medicaments that are sugar free and have reduced calories. Accordingly, the tablets of the invention are suitable for both diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
Abstract:
A duct work assembly is coupled to an end of an electronics enclosure that houses one or more heat generating devices, such as electronics servers. The duct work assembly includes individual duct guides that each have a deformable end, which is configured to locally deform around the electrical connection lines extending from the rear of one or more electronics servers. The deformable end can be made of bristles, as in a brush, or foam that includes slits and/or holes.
Abstract:
A new method to form an integrated circuit device is achieved. The method comprises providing a substrate. A sacrificial layer is formed overlying the substrate. The sacrificial layer is patterned to form temporary vertical spacers where conductive bonding locations are planned. A conductive layer is deposited overlying the temporary vertical spacers and the substrate. The conductive layer is patterned to form conductive bonding locations overlying the temporary vertical spacers. The temporary vertical spacers are etched away to create voids underlying the conductive bonding locations.

In addition, the output unit can be a flexible paper-like display.
Abstract:
A packet switching node having a pipelined packet processing architecture processing packets received via an input port associated with the packet switching node is presented. The method performed by the apparatus includes: determining a packet frame type of the packet received; selectively extracting packet header field values specific to a packet frame type, the extracted packet header field value including packet addressing information; ascribing to the packet a preliminary action to be performed in respect of the packet; searching packet switching information tracked by the packet switching node based on extracted packet addressing information; formulating a preliminary switch response for the packet; classifying the packet into one of a plurality of packet flows; modifying the preliminary switch response in accordance with one of the preliminary action, the packet flow into which the packet was classified, and a default port action corresponding to the input port; modifying the packet header in accordance with one of the preliminary action, the packet flow, and the default port action; and processing the packet in accordance with the switch response. Advantages are derived from: pipelined processing of packets which enables short-cutting the rest of the processing for improper packets; a flexible frame type determination which is fast for well know frame types yet flexible in support of new frame types delaying obsolescence of a particular implementation; an early determination of a processing action which is successively refined by subsequent stages; a combined Layer-2 and Layer-3 network addressing search engine operating on short bit length indexed Layer-2 and Layer-3 network addresses reducing network address table storage requirements, requiring a reduced data transfer bandwidth for network address table access, a large external hashed primary network address table, and a small internal secondary network address table; an early determination of a switch response; and packet-classification-based switch response and packet header modification.
Abstract:
A hardware-based failover scheme enabling rapid end-to-end recovery is provided. Hardware logic periodically generates, transmits, receives, and processes heartbeat packets, sent from one end of the communications network to another, and then returned back. If a communications network node or communications link failure is being experienced along the transport path, then the hardware logic rapidly swaps the affected traffic conveyed to a pre-established backup transport path, typically within microseconds. Advantages are derived from the rapid failover effected end-to-end which enables continued delivery of provisioned communications services improving the resiliency and/or availability of a communications network.
Abstract:
An Internet gateway video server transmits selection information to a set top box connected to a television. The set top box displays the selection information on the television. A user views the selection information, and inputs user selection requests to the set top box. The Internet gateway video server receives user the requests for information and retrieves the information. The server then converts the network information from a network format to a television format. The conversion includes scanning the network information for selection elements, and adding selection elements for transmission in the television format. The converted network information is then transmitted to the set top box for display on the television. The user may then make further selections based on the displayed network information.
