Cigarettes are manufactured using modified automated cigarette making apparatus. Those cigarettes possess smokable rods having paper wrapping materials having additive materials applied thereto as patterns. The additive material can be applied as a coating formulation in an off-line manner to a continuous paper sheet web that is later used for cigarette manufacture. The additive material can be applied as a coating formulation in an on-line manner to continuous paper web moving through an operating cigarette making machine. The coating formulation is applied to the paper web using roll applicator techniques, ink jet printing techniques or electrostatic precipitation techniques. Liquid coating formulation are curable, and are virtually absent of solvent or liquid carrier. Radiation, such as ultraviolet or electron beam radiation, is used to solidify and fix polymerizable liquid components of the coating formulation that have been applied to the paper web. Heating and subsequent cooling of the coating formulation used to fix solid components of the coating formulation that have been applied to the paper web. Registration techniques are used to ensure proper positioning of the additive material on the smokable rods so manufactured, and to ensure proper quality of those cigarettes.

A key engine that performs route lookups for a plurality of keys may include a data processing portion configured to process one data item at a time and to request data when needed. A buffer may be configured to store a partial result from the data processing portion. A controller may be configured to load the partial result from the data processing portion into the buffer. The controller also may be configured to input another data item into the data processing portion for processing while requested data is obtained for a prior data item. A number of these key engines may be used by a routing unit to perform a large number of route lookups at the same time.

A bit coding method modifies the bit-steam information in such a way as to provide a very high compression during lossless symbol coding and may be used as a preprocessor for Huffman and arithmetic encodings or on its own. A bit rearrangement scheme (BRS) improves the run length within a data symbol set and achieves a more efficient data-to-symbol mapping. The BRS is implemented on the data symbol set in a column-by-column fashion. The BRS can be combined with any available lossless coding scheme, providing for a more efficient lossless bit coding scheme (ALBCS).

In many instances it is necessary to store and transfer information and data on a temporary basis. Typically this information and data is transient but is vulnerable to capture and piracy as it is not in an encrypted state. Therefore a unique method is disclosed that performs randomized scrambling of unprotected digital information that make it unreadable, or otherwise unusable, without the appropriate descrambling. In order to be effective and secure the method requires a large population of scrambling patterns, or codes, and assigns them index numbers. Scrambling patterns are randomly chosen for use in the scrambling of the information and data. Unique schemes for developing this large population of patterns and choosing at random the usable set at each interval or usage. In particular the method is useful in the protection of digital content.

A smokeless tobacco product is provided. A water-permeable pouch containing a tobacco formulation and configured for insertion into the mouth of a user of that product is provided. The tobacco formulation includes granular tobacco and a buffer comprised of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. An outer packaging material enveloping the pouch is provided and is sealed so as to allow a controlled environment to be maintained within.

A network device includes an interface and packet processing logic. The interface receives a multicast packet. The packet processing logic determines identifier data corresponding to the received multicast packet and replicates the identifier data to multiple outgoing packet forward engines at a first point in a processing path. The packet processing logic further replicates the identifier data to multiple data streams at a second point in the processing path and replicates the identifier data to multiple logical interfaces in the same stream at a third point in the processing path.

A network device constructs a notification corresponding to a received multicast data unit, where the notification includes administrative data associated with the multicast data unit that does not include a payload of the multicast data unit. The network device replicates the notification at least three different processing elements at different locations in a processing path of the network device to produce multiple replicated data items and produces a copy of the multicast data unit for each of replicated notifications. The network device forwards each copy of the multicast data unit towards a multicast destination.
