20120246307 | ANALYSIS OF ACTIVITY OF DEVICES IN A NETWORK THAT EMPLOY TRANSLATED NETWORK ADDRESSES - The embodiments provide for analyzing activity of devices in a network. Activity from a device may result from multiple devices translated to a common address, such as a public internet protocol (IP) address. In some embodiments, the activity from a network or device is analyzed to identify if multiple devices communicate via translated addresses from the common address. The devices may be identified based on various criteria, such as a unique identifier, protocol header information, or a media access control (or “MAC”) address. Other criteria may also be employed. Each device that is mapped to common address is then remapped so that each device has its own address. The activity data is then modified so that each device is correlated with its unique address. Alternatively, a new activity data file may be generated so that the activity of each device is indicated. | 09-27-2012 |

20120131896 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTERMITTENTLY COLORED YARN - Intermittently colored yarns having an intermittent and random dye spacing pattern, and systems and methods of making the same, are disclosed. Such intermittently colored yarns exhibit higher quality and lower manufacturing costs over the known intermittently colored yarns. The intermittent coloring takes place while the yarn is in caterpillar form. Carpets made from such intermittently colored yarns exhibit enhanced aesthetics over carpets made from known intermittently colored yarns. Alternatively, a stain resist, colorless base dye, or bleaching agent can be applied in the same intermittent and random spacing pattern to the intermittently colored yarns prior to subsequent dyeing. This creates a mirror image like color effect to the resulting yarn. | 05-31-2012 |

20120130983 | EFFICIENT STRING PATTERN MATCHING FOR LARGE PATTERN SETS - A string matching system is described herein that provides for very fast and efficient pattern matching against large sets of certain types of pattern strings. If a set of pattern strings is comprised of strings that can be logically divided into segments, these pattern strings can be stored efficiently in a tree-like data structure, segment by segment, storing pattern-match syntax segments separately from literal string segments. After segmentation, individual match candidate strings are compared, segment by segment, against elements in the tree. The system uses a data structure that is conceptually a combination of a tree and a hash table. Using a hash table to implement the branching elements at each level in the tree contributes to quick matching speed at each level. By consistently separating strings into segments, the system can also share storage locations for like elements in the data structure. | 05-24-2012 |

20130250865 | CONFIGURABLE INTEGRATED RADIO PROCESSOR - In a base station, a configurable radio unit allows for communication with a baseband processor that satisfies a CPRI standard while allowing personalization and customization by the end user in order to prevent undesired usage and/or access by other users/competitors. The radio module is programmable to allow for specific designation of the location, lengths, and types of signal and control information within CPRI basic frames. By being configured to allow for the adjustment of these parameters, the radio module can be commonly and mass produced while allowing for end users of the processors to personalize their use without additional hardware components, such as FPGA circuits. In addition, by generating a container frame, the radio module can allow for asynchronous communication between the CPRI standard and an employed communication scheme. | 09-26-2013 |
20140036903 | Radio Over Ethernet - A method of wireless communication utilizing a communication system that includes a baseband module that is in communication with a radio module via an Ethernet communication link. The method of wireless communication can include the synchronization of the internal reference clocks of the baseband module and radio module. A hierarchical arrangement can be used to synchronize the internal reference clocks with a grandmaster clock within the communication system. Further, packet transit calculations can be used to synchronize the internal reference clocks. | 02-06-2014 |

20130324021 | DIAMOND IMPREGNATED POLISHING PAD WITH DIAMOND PUCKS - An abrasive pad for use on hard surfaces is described. The pad includes a fibrous, non-woven body with an abrasive coating containing diamond particles applied to a first side thereof. A plurality of diamond-impregnated abrasive elements is affixed to the first side. One or more of the abrasive elements are located near an outer edge of the first side of the pad. A resilient reinforcing material is applied to the outer edge of the pad to resist compression of the pad and to maintain adjacent abrasive elements parallel to a surface being worked on. The abrasive elements at least partially recess into the pad body and enable simultaneous contact of the abrasive elements and the pad with the surface being worked on. Thereby, multiple surface-preparation steps, e.g. polishing and burnishing, are completed simultaneously reducing surface-preparation time and eliminating separate surface-preparation steps. | 12-05-2013 |
