    Abstract: Some implementations of the invention involve forming "logical" or "virtual" devices by aggregating a plurality of physical devices. The physical devices may be, for example, controllers, RFID readers and/or storage devices. Some logical devices comprise components of physical devices, such as individual antennas from a plurality of RFID readers. The physical devices may be located near one another or may be distributed over a wide geographical area. Logical device definitions can also be concatenated to include devices having two or more levels of logical device definitions. A single logical device grouping may include physical devices at differing levels of a network hierarchy.

    Abstract: The invention provides numerous methods and devices for enhancing the use of gaming machines. Some embodiments of the invention provide enhanced functionality for legacy gaming machines. Alternative embodiments of the invention may be implemented in an entirely new gaming machine and/or in gaming machines that are not yet in existence. Some such implementations are directed to the use of non-native gaming software in gaming machines that include (a) different peripheral devices and/or (b) a different CPU from that of the gaming machine for which the gaming software was written. These implementations may use software emulation and hardware abstraction methods and devices.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide blade servers having blade switches that function as switches in the data plane, but do not have a Domain_ID. Control plane switching functions are performed by a fabric switch (e.g., a core switch) to which the blade server is attached. A fabric switch to which a blade switch is attached may perform address assignment functions for blades of the blade server. The blade switch preferably converts FLOGI requests to FDISC requests that are forwarded to an attached fabric switch. Some implementations provide for the multiple fabric switches, all of which are configured for communication with at least one blade switch, to establish and maintain the state of a virtual Domain_ID.

    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for automating a login process and user/device associations. A user's preferred device settings and/or functions may be provisioned automatically. Some implementations provide an automated log out or "sleep" when a user leaves one or more of the devices. Users may be automatically identified and associated. The "presence" of members of a user group may be determined as required for one or more actions to be taken. Some user groups control devices according to which members of a group may have access to certain functions, information, etc., and which may not.

    Abstract: The present invention provides improved unicast routing, multicast routing and unicast load sharing as compared with conventional methods. Preferred implementations of the invention provide improvements to IEEE 802.1Q. According to preferred aspects of the invention, each bridge is the root of its own multiple spanning tree instance ("MSTI"). Preferred implementations of the invention require no learning of media access control ("MAC") addresses on the backbone of a network. Some methods of the invention can resolve spanning tree asymmetries. Preferred implementations of the invention require a very low computational load for control protocols.

    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and devices for implementing a Low Latency Ethernet ("LLE") solution, also referred to herein as a Data Center Ethernet ("DCE") solution, which simplifies the connectivity of data centers and provides a high bandwidth, low latency network for carrying Ethernet and storage traffic. Some aspects of the invention involve transforming FC frames into a format suitable for transport on an Ethernet. Some preferred implementations of the invention implement multiple virtual lanes ("VLs") in a single physical connection of a data center or similar network. Some VLs are "drop" VLs, with Ethernet-like behavior, and others are "no-drop" lanes with FC-like behavior. Some preferred implementations of the invention provide guaranteed bandwidth based on credits and VL. Active buffer management allows for both high reliability and low latency while using small frame buffers. Preferably, the rules for active buffer management are different for drop and no drop VLs.

    Abstract: An apparatus may include an ultrasonic sensor system having an ultrasonic transceiver layer, a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer and a frequency-differentiating layer. In some examples, the frequency-differentiating layer may include a first frequency-differentiating layer area corresponding to a lower-frequency area of the ultrasonic sensor system. The first frequency-differentiating layer area may include a first material having a first acoustic impedance. In some such examples, the frequency-differentiating layer may include a second frequency-differentiating layer area corresponding to a higher-frequency area of the ultrasonic sensor system. The second frequency-differentiating layer area may include a second material having a second acoustic impedance. The first acoustic impedance may, for example, be higher than the second acoustic impedance.

    Abstract: A method may involve estimating a force applied by a target object on a surface, determining at least one ultrasonic fingerprint sensor parameter modification based, at least in part, on the force and updating at least one setting of an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor based, at least in part, on the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor parameter modification. The method may involve controlling the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor to transmit first and second ultrasonic waves towards the target object and receiving first and second ultrasonic receiver signals, including signals corresponding to reflections of the first and second ultrasonic waves from the target object, from the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The method may involve performing an authentication process based, at least in part, on the first and second ultrasonic receiver signals.
