20090049418 | Method for Radiation Tolerance by Automated Placement - A method of designing a layout of an integrated circuit for increased radiation tolerance by ensuring that any critical components (those deemed particularly sensitive to radiation-induced soft errors) are at spacings greater than a predetermined threshold based on particle migration within the silicon substrate. The method starts with an initial placement, identifies the objects for which radiation tolerance is desired, determines whether any of those objects and, if so, moves the relevant objects to increase the spacing. An exemplary threshold for contemporary CMOS device technologies is 5 μm. The objects can be moved by vertically and/or horizontally shifting away from a reference point of the integrated circuit. The critical objects may include triplicated (redundant) structures, clock control latches, or a reset bit. The method can be used in conjunction with other placement optimizations such as area, power and timing. | 02-19-2009 |

20110069619 | CONGESTION AND THRU-PUT VISIBILITY AND ISOLATION - Offering vertical services to subscribers and service providers is an avenue to immediately improve the competitiveness of digital subscriber line access service, for example of the type offered by a local exchange carrier. To deliver high-quality vertical services, however, the underlying ADSL Data Network (ADN) or the like needs to establish Quality of Service (QoS) as a core characteristic and offer an efficient mechanism for insertion of the vertical services. The inventive network architecture introduces QoS into the ADN, in a manner that enables the delivery of sophisticated and demanding IP-based services to subscribers, does not affect existing Internet tiers of service, and is cost-effective in terms of initial costs, build-out, and ongoing operations. The architecture utilizes a switch capable of examining and selectively forwarding packets or frames based on higher layer information in the protocol stack, that is to say on information that is encapsulated in the layer-2 information utilized to define normal connectivity through the network. The switch enables segregation of upstream traffic by type and downstream aggregation of Internet traffic together with traffic from a local services domain for vertical services and other local services. Systems coupled to the local services domain alone or in combination with software in servers and/or a user's computer enable a testing of connectivity, throughput, QoS metrics and the like through selected points of the ADN network. | 03-24-2011 |

20080277249 | Circuit breaker with improved lock-off accessory - A circuit breaker comprises a housing containing a trip mechanism, a handle coupled to the trip mechanism and movable between on and off positions, and a lock-off mechanism capable of holding the handle in its off position. The lock-off mechanism includes a base member adapted to be mounted on the circuit breaker housing adjacent the movable handle. A slide is mounted on the base member for movement to an advanced position in which a portion of the slide projects into the path of movement of the breaker handle for engaging the handle and blocks movement of the handle from the “off” position to the “on” position. In the retracted position of the slide, the path of movement of the handle is unobstructed by the slide. A key-operated lock is also mounted on the base, and a lock shaft is coupled to the lock and mounted for movement to a locked position in which the shaft engages the slide when the slide is in its advanced position to block retracting movement of the slide, thereby locking the breaker handle in its “off” position. In the unlocked position of the lock shaft, movement of the slide is unobstructed by the shaft, but the slide interferes with advancing movement of the lock shaft, thereby preventing the lock shaft from moving to its advanced position. | 11-13-2008 |

20090030826 | LENDER ANONYMITY SECURITIES LENDING USING LENDER TRADE CRITERIA - Lender anonymity securities lending where trade criteria associated with a security owned by a client are determined. Bids for the security are monitored by a first entity. A trade related to the security is executed by accepting a best bid from the monitored bids based on the trade criteria. An identical trade related to the security is automatically executed with a second entity. A second identical trade as the trade related to the security is automatically executed with inter-dealer brokers without any knowledge of the first entity. The first entity may be a banking division of a financial institution and the second entity may be a broker/dealer division of a financial institution. Complete anonymity is provided to the client from the inter-dealer brokers since the trade executed automatically with the second entity is put into a separate trading book maintaining a firewall between the client and the inter-dealer brokers. | 01-29-2009 |
