Abstract:
An apparatus, systems, and methods for multi-context event streaming network vulnerability scanners. A method is disclosed for scanning a network by executing a first test program, receiving data from one or more devices on a network in response to the data sent by the first test program, determining one or more context findings from the first test program, and reporting the one or more context findings from the first test program to the scanner engine while the first test program is executing.
Abstract:
An application-specific integrated circuit and related network switch are disclosed. The integrated circuit includes switch circuitry for receiving a 802.11 wireless data frame and forwarding it to a predetermined port. Inspection circuitry is provided for inspecting attributes of the data frame. Decision circuitry is provided for instructing the switch circuitry to forward the data frame based on the attributes, both 802.3 wired and 802.11 wireless.
Abstract:
The Team Play Game Device creates the capability to have multiple players play computer games simultaneously without requiring games to be modified to support multiple players. It accomplishes this goal by making multiple game controllers look like single game controllers to the game device. It is a general game solution that can be applied to every game device and game controller combination including all game consoles and personal computers.
Abstract:
A repeater, useable for connecting switches in a data communication network, is provided in a distributed and/or modular fashion. The repeater includes a plurality of separate and distinct components or modules connected to or at least partially housed in, the various switches which the repeater modules couple. Preferably, the repeater autodetects and/or autoconfigures some or all aspects of repeater operations, such as detecting and/or configuring appropriate full/half-duplex mode operation or detecting and/or configuring in response to appropriate or approved cable-type connections. The distributed and/or modular repeater facilitates accommodating various switching or repeater needs as a network grows or contracts.

A repeater, useable for connecting switches in a data communication network, is provided in a distributed and/or modular fashion. The repeater includes a plurality of separate and distinct components or modules connected to or at least partially housed in, the various switches which the repeater modules couple. The distributed and/or modular repeater facilitates accommodating various switching or repeater needs as a network grows or contracts. A light pipe, preferably integral with a module case, conveys indicator lights to a position visible when viewing a switch front panel. A heat spreader unit receives and/or conveys heat and/or protects against undue EMI. A collision-handling state machine transmits modified collision fragments so as to avoid reduction in interpacket gaps, e.g. by downstream repeater modules.
Abstract:
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for power supply rejection for an amplifier may include generating a correction signal by multiplying a quantity indicative of a power supply voltage of the amplifier by a transfer function defining a response from the power supply voltage of the amplifier to an output signal of the amplifier and subtracting the correction signal from a signal within a signal path of a circuit comprising the amplifier.
Abstract:
In a system having a plurality of nodes such as Ethernet repeaters, coupled by communication links such as cables, systems and protocols are provided for detecting and/or breaking loops. In one aspect, in response to an added link, a repeater sends a “detect loop” message containing its address to at least one neighbor. Each repeater which receives the “detect loop” message, in turn, sends it to its own neighbor, with the lesser of the received address and its own address. A repeater which receives a “detect loop” message containing its own address declares itself a master loop breaker and can isolate one of its ports to break the loop. In one aspect, a previously intentionally-isolated port can be re-activated, e.g., in response to the loss of a communication link which could potentially isolate one or more nodes.
