Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a web of sheet product, with a discontinuous perforation arrangement such that manufacture of a web of sheet product provides for an increase in the breaking strength of the web of sheet product while feeding the web in a machine direction, thereby reducing the risk of breaking and maintaining the yield and throughput of the production of the perforated web as an intermediate product, yet providing a low breaking force for individual strips produced from the web.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus and media for performing polynomial arithmetic operations over a Galois field having characteristic 2 and size 1 are disclosed. Such methods, apparatus and media include generating a binary representation of a polynomial over a Galois field having characteristic 2 and size 1, generating a plurality of right shifted binary representations of the first polynomial, and generating a binary representation of the polynomial reciprocal based upon a bitwise exclusive-OR of the binary representation of the polynomial and one or more right shifted binary representations selected from the plurality of right shifted binary representations.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are described for computing modular inverses of odd input values modulo 2N (or modulo xN, for example in some Galois field) to perform a modular multiplication in cryptographic processing systems. In one embodiment an approximation is computed having 2k bits of the modular inverse of the odd input value without multiplications, for example using a binary extended Euclidean algorithm. A sequence of log2N−k Newton-Raphson or similarly quadratically convergent iterations are applied to the approximation using an extended precision multiplier to generate the modular inverse of the odd input value modulo 2N (or modulo xN), the modular inverse having up to N bits of precision. The modular inverse of the odd input value is then used in a modular multiplication to perform cryptographic operations and/or cyclic redundancy checks on communication data.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a roll constituted by a plurality of tissue paper sheets each having a specific surface weight between 10 and 40 g/m2 and exhibiting thick zones (4) separated over at least 90% of their periphery by thinner zones (5). According to the invention, and as regards at least the outermost turns of the roll, the thick zones are at least partly superposed one on the other in a way to add the thicknesses cumulatively and hence to create height differentials on the roll's outside. The invention also relates to a method for making a roll, wherein a strip composed of a plurality of juxtaposed tissue paper sheets exhibiting thick zones separated by thinner zones will be wound on itself. According to the invention, the winding of the roll is such that the thick zones (4) of the outermost roll turns are at least partly superposed in order to constitute a salient topography on the roll's outside.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an embossed ply suitable for use in a multi-ply, embossed paper. The embossed ply has bosses of two different depths wherein the bosses having a greater depth or the "big bosses" alternate with the more shallow bosses or "small bosses". When the embossed ply is used to form a multi-ply paper, the small bosses are arranged in a tip-to-tip relation with bosses in a second embossed ply, while the big bosses of the first ply are positioned to nest between the bosses of the second ply. Furthermore, a method and apparatus for manufacturing the embossed, multi-ply paper is described.
Abstract:
One embodiment provides a network device. The network device includes a a processor including at least one processor core; a network interface configured to transmit and receive packets at a line rate; a memory configured to store a scheduler hierarchical data structure; and a scheduler module. The scheduler module is configured to prefetch a next active pipe structure, the next active pipe structure included in the hierarchical data structure, update credits for a current pipe and an associated subport, identify a next active traffic class within the current pipe based, at least in part, on a current pipe data structure, select a next queue associated with the identified next active traffic class, and schedule a next packet from the selected next queue for transmission by the network interface if available traffic shaping token bucket credits and available traffic class credits are greater than or equal to a next packet credits.
