| 20090207857 | USER-SPECIFIED KEY CREATION FROM ATTRIBUTES INDEPENDENT OF ENCAPSULATION TYPE - An integrated circuit has a hardware decoder that parses a frame to identify a type of encapsulation, such as Ethernet v2 encapsulation or 802.3 with or without one or more VLAN tags. The integrated circuit also has a number of hardware parsers, each parser being coupled to the decoder by an enable line. During packet processing, one of the parsers is enabled by the decoder, based on the value which identifies the encapsulation type. The enabled parser retrieves one or more attributes from the frame, depending on the encapsulation. The integrated circuit also has a register, coupled to each parser. The register holds the attributes retrieved by the parser. The integrated circuit also has a key generation hardware which creates a key, by concatenating from the attributes register, certain attributes that are pre-selected by a user for forming the key. The integrated circuit supplies the key to a memory (which may be either in the integrated circuit i.e. on-chip or outside the integrated circuit i.e. off-chip) to look up a set of user-specified actions to be performed on data in the frame. The actions may be specified by the user in the form of instructions to a processor. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100100569 | Method of Accelerating the Shortest Path Problem - The solution to the shortest path between a source node and multiple destination nodes is accelerated using a grouping of nodes, where the nodes are grouped based on distance from the source node, and a corresponding set of memory locations that indicate when a group includes one or more nodes. The memory locations can be quickly searched to determine the group that represents the shortest distance from the source node and that includes one or more nodes. Nodes may be grouped into additional groupings that do not correspond to the set of memory locations, when the distance from the source node to the nodes exceeds the range of memory locations. Advantageously, the disclosed system and method provide the ability to reach asymptotically optimal performance. | 04-22-2010 |

| 20090046600 | PORTABLE NETWORKING INTERFACE METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTED SWITCHING SYSTEM - An apparatus and method to provide a portable networking interface for distributed switching systems. Two Application Program Interfaces (APIs) are defined for communication to a Forwarding Database Distribution Library (FDDL). The FDDL sits between network client applications and the switch device driver in order to provide a uniform interface to the switch device driver. Towers may be added to the FDDL to provide additional functionality specific to certain client applications. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20100192522 | Retractable Clip Press - The specification discloses a cardboard and blister pack packaging and sealing machine that includes an upper and lower heater and die combination that can be compressed together over a package for sealing using heat activated adhesives. The machine may use at least one piston and rod device or pump to provide the necessary energy or pressure. The machine may include a moveable tray containing at least one aperture to hold an unsealed package wherein the unsealed package can be moved proximate to the upper and lower heaters and dies and the upper and lower heaters and dies can press together. In this way, both the top and bottom dies may be heated and the operator is not required to remove the sealed packaging from the hot die. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20090199776 | DISPOSABLE WATER CONTAINER/BOWL FOR PETS - The technology described herein provides a portable bagged water container having an embedded reinforcement rim to hold drinking water for a pet. In one embodiment, the technology includes portable fluid container for a pet having a fluid bag configured to contain a potable fluid, to be prefilled with the potable fluid and stored and sealed for subsequent consumption by a pet for hydration and an attachment device for attaching the fluid bag to the pet. The fluid bag is sealed in an original state. The fluid bag includes a perforation tear line from which to tear open a top edge of the bag and provide access to a resealable zip closure to open and access the prefilled fluid and to enable the pet to consume the fluid within the bag. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20100248793 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LOW COST HANDSET WITH VOICE CONTROL - Systems, methods and apparatuses for a unique wireless handset are described. One embodiment may be directed to a wireless handset that uses voice recognition to simplify the operation of the handset and therefore allows the handset to include fewer input keys. Using speaker dependent voice recognition (VR) software, the recognition rates for most users can exceed 95%. The reliability of the speaker dependent voice recognition used in the embodiment, allows for a design that eliminates the traditional keypad and creates a large space on the face of the handset for prominent corporate or institutional logos and images. This form factor provides an excellent platform for branding and marketing promotional applications. | 09-30-2010 |
