Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090161675MPLS Traffic Engineering for Point-to-Multipoint Label Switched Paths - A method and apparatus for providing point-to-multipoint label switch paths (LSPs) in a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network is described. In one embodiment, a point-to-multipoint LSP is built in a MPLS network by using Resource Reservation Protocol Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) to signal the point-to-multipoint LSP as separate point-to-point LSPs and to merge the separate point-to-point LSPs into the point-to-multipoint LSP.06-25-2009

20100268798DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT OF CONNECTION SETUP REQUEST PARAMETERS - The number of connection setup request packets that are accepted for processing by a network element are dynamically adjusted based on the run time capacity of the network element. The number of accepted connection setup request packets that can be initiated for processing are dynamically modified based on the processor utilization and average latency of completion of processing the connection setup requests. The network element can apply a scheduling policy to those connection setup request packets to differentiate the processing treatment of different types of connection setup requests.10-21-2010
20110093483METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DATA EXCHANGE IN A DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM - An apparatus for exchanging data in a distributed system with constrained resources without symmetric metadata knowledge between senders and receivers. The sender includes an encoding module, which when encoding messages for a receiver, is operative to perform the following: generate metadata descriptions for unique combinations of subset of fields of data structures, where each metadata description defines for the receiver how to decode data in the corresponding subset of fields of that data structure included in messages and does not include the data currently in those corresponding subset of field; generate a unique metadata description identification for each different metadata description; include metadata descriptions in the messages as well as the corresponding metadata description identifications to the receiver that has not previously received those metadata descriptions, whereby the messages are encoded without per field overhead. The receiver includes a decoding module, which when decoding messages received from the sender, is operative to: store metadata descriptions in a metadata description data structure as they are received from the sender, where each metadata description is associated with a metadata description identification, whereby the metadata description data structure is progressively populated with metadata for data structures as messages are received from the sender that include metadata descriptions; and decode those messages received from the sender that do not include metadata descriptions based on the stored metadata descriptions that correspond with the metadata description identifications included in these messages, whereby these messages are decoded without those messages including metadata descriptions.04-21-2011

20100287238MULTIWAY PEER-TO-PEER MEDIA STREAMING - Multiway peer-to-peer media streaming is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method comprises defining a first portion of a peer-to-peer network. The method then recites defining a second portion of the peer-to-peer network. The present method then utilizes the first portion of the peer-to-peer network to generate an aggregated media stream, wherein the aggregated media stream is comprised of a plurality of media streams. The present method then delivers the aggregated media stream from the first portion of the peer-to-peer network to the second portion of the peer-to-peer network.11-11-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080253372Scheduling packet transmission - Scheduling packet transmission. A plurality of data packets is received, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of data packets is associated with one media unit and comprises different quality information. Profit-to-size ratios or distortion-to-size ratios for the data packets are determined. A plurality of schedules of the data packets are determined utilizing dynamic programming for a plurality of data rates based at least in part on the profit-to-size ratios or distortion-to-size ratios.10-16-2008
20090024754Assisted peer-to-peer media streaming - Assisted peer-to-peer media streaming. A first connection to at least one peer of a peer-to-peer network is initiated for receiving media content from the peer-to-peer network. Responsive to a disruption of delivery of the media content over the first connection from the peer, the media content is received over a second connection with a data source, wherein the data source comprises the media content.01-22-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110085854CABLE-PANEL CONNECTOR FOR BRIDGE PLATFORM OR OTHER SCAFFOLDING - A connector for covering an opening in and connecting a scaffolding panel to an underlying cable. One plate has a portion pivotally attached to another plate for movement within a slot thereof, an arcuate portion to cradle the cable and extend back through a slot in the other plate for securing, and a neck therebetween which suspends the arcuate portion at a distance below the other plate to ease receiving the cable. The plates alternatively abut. Alternatively, the plates are hingedly joined with one having an arcuate cable-receiving portion which extends back through a slot in the other plate for securing with a wedge which is inseparable from the plates.04-14-2011
