| 20090055501 | Selective User Notification Based on IP Flow Information - An example embodiment of the present invention provides a process that uses IP flow information to selectively notify users of an application server of the server's unavailability. In the example embodiment, the process, which might run on a system comprising a router, monitors IP flow records as to dropped packets and learns that an application server has become unavailable. The process then uses the IP flow records to identify active users of the application server, for example, by passing a source IP address to a presence service. Once the process has identified an active user, the process determines a means of notification for the user, which might be through the presence service, and transmits a notification to the user as to the unavailability of the application server. In the example embodiment, the process transmits a later notification as to the availability of the application server, using reverse camp-on functionality. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20090009182 | CIRCUIT TO PROVIDE TESTABILITY TO A SELF-TIMED CIRCUIT - The present invention enables asynchronous circuits to be tested in the same manner and using the same equipment and test strategies as with synchronous circuits. The feedback path of an asynchronous element, for example a Muller C element, includes a test structure which may be invoked for the purpose of providing the means for synchronous testing. When configured for testing, the test structure provides a clocked latching and selecting function which, by virtue of breaking the feedback path of the self-timing device, prevents the device being tested from switching states until desired. When the element is not in test mode, the test structure is configured to pass through the data that normally flows through the feedback path unchanged. The result is an ability to test an asynchronous device or subsystem of a device in the same manner as and/or intermixed with a synchronous device. | 01-08-2009 |
