摘要： A system, method, and computer program product are provided for collecting a snapshot of the statistics of a computer network. The devices of the network that provide the statistics synchronize their clocks to a time source. The statistics collector can request the devices to read their counters at a specified time. The counter values are stored and time-stamped on the devices. The statistics collector can later retrieve the stored counter values from the devices and correlate the statistics by the time-stamps.

摘要： A system and methods of using commodity switches to produce a switch fabric are disclosed. The system is designed taking into considerations the limitations of typical commodity switches and the requirements of high availability. The system comprises a plurality of switches organized in tiers. Each switch comprises uplink switch ports and downlink switch ports. The switch is connected to switches in higher tiers via its uplink switch ports and to switches in lower tiers via its downlink switch ports. The switches in the lowest tier are connected to the devices external to the system via downlink switch ports. A management module may provide the capability of provisioning and configuring the switches. On each switch, at least one link aggregation is configured with the uplink switch ports. A packet received from any downlink switch port is forwarded to one of the at least one link aggregation of uplink switch ports. A packet received from any uplink switch port is forwarded according to the first label in the packet. Each switch in the highest tier is configured to insert one or more labels in a packet to be sent out via the switches. A value in a label indicates the switch port to be selected to send out the packet received at a switch.

摘要： A method for creating low-cost interactive entertainment robots is disclosed. The cost of the robots is reduced by using a commodity computing device: smart phone, and by having robotic bodies use a decoder of a set of movement commands that facilitates the interoperability between a variety of smart phones and a variety of robotic bodies. Smart phones are equipped with powerful CPU, touch screen, USB, camera, microphone, Bluetooth, WI-FI, etc. They are fit for being the robot control units with the relevant robot applications installed. The cost of robotic bodies can be reduced by minimizing the amount of processing and sensing there and having them focus on mechanical movements. Furthermore, by defining and using a set of movement commands that promotes interoperability between a variety of robot control units and a variety of robotic bodies, the cost of robotic bodies can be reduced through mass production.

摘要： The robot in this invention can detect the fading or loss of wireless network signal as an indication of being removed from its working area and enter into alert mode. The purpose of robot entering into alert mode is to deter physical theft, e.g., by sounding an alarm, to protect confidential data loss, and to render the robot useless to an unauthorized person, reducing the incentives for theft. A number of techniques are employed in this invention: confidential data stored on the robot is encrypted; administrator is required to log in the robot to enable robot operations; robot is to detect abnormal conditions such as fading of wireless network signal, sudden loss of wireless network signal, loss of connectivity to management server, and physical disconnection of any computing part from itself; robot is to resume normal operations without administrator intervention when abnormal condition is rectified; an Internet management server instructs the robot to delete stored data when the robot fails to authenticate itself; and place the reset button of a computing part of the robot such that the reset button is only accessible when the computing part is physically disconnected from the robot.

摘要： In current systems, a typical way to collect application statistics includes sending requests to a resource manager that can access the resource hardware via a device driver. Current systems require multiple synchronous transactions between the processes, which results in the systems consuming large amounts of central processing unit resources that lead to sub-optimal rates of information retrieval. A method and apparatus configured to use asynchronous messaging across all modules and to return hardware statistics directly from the hardware to an application process, thereby bypassing transactions between the application and the resource manager, and bypassing similar transactions between the resource manager and a device driver. Embodiments of the invention are provided for minimizing the power consumed by the memory and minimizing the amount of dedicated memory necessary to perform.

摘要： Broadcast storm due to topology loop may result from end-user mis-configurations, faulty ports, cabling problems, faulty spanning-tree algorithm implementations, and others. This loop detection mechanism helps detecting topology loops and eliminates them. It operates as a watchdog independent of the spanning-tree algorithm. The feature is aiming at enhancing the values of SO-LOS.

摘要： In a network, the spanning tree protocol computes a loop-free and fully connected active bridged network topology. A Bridge Address Permit List (BAPL) can be a simple Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) authentication mechanism to prevent the active bridge network topology from being disturbed by mis-configurations or illegal BPDUs perhaps from ill intentions. A BAPL is a simple but effective BPDU authentication method, using permit list to filter unauthorized BPDUs.

摘要： A four-buffer MPEG decoder is provided for decoding MPEG video frames. A four-buffer frame controller and control method manage the four frame buffers including decoding, displaying and discarding of I-frames, P-frames and B-frames so that video data decoding is accelerated. The four-buffer frame controller and control method frees one frame buffer when the frame buffer contains obsolete data, defined as data which is no longer useful for decoding additional frames and for which storage is not necessary for displaying pictures in a correct temporal order. One example of an obsolete frame is a B-frame that is displayed. Another example is a P-frame for I-frame which is no longer used for motion compensation and has been displayed.
