| 20110252605 | Cord Management System - A cord management system includes a strap. The strap has a first set of magnets attached to a first location on the strap and a second set of magnets attached to a second location on the strap. The strap also includes at least two modes of operation. In a first mode of operation, the first set of magnets is magnetically attached to the second set of magnets so that a first segment of the strap located between the first set of magnets and the second set of magnets forms a loop configured to secure a cord that is wrapped around the strap. In a second mode of operation, the first set of magnets is magnetically detached from the second set of magnets so that the first segment no longer forms the loop. The strap is also configured to be coupled to an object. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20110252607 | Cord Management System - A cord management system includes a case and a strap. The strap has a first attachment point at a first location on the strap and a second attachment point a second location on the strap. The strap also includes at least two modes of operation. In a first mode of operation, the first attachment point is attached to the second attachment point so that a first segment of the strap located between the first attachment point and the second attachment point forms a loop configured to secure a cord that is wrapped around the case. In a second mode of operation, the first attachment point is detached from the second attachment point so that the first segment no longer forms the loop. In some embodiments, the strap is permanently attached to the case, while in other embodiments the strap is semi-permanently attached to the case. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20080273539 | SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING A PACKET HEADER LOOKUP - A system for performing a lookup for a packet in a computer network are disclosed. The packet includes a header. The system includes a parser, a lookup engine coupled with the parser, and a processor coupled with the lookup engine. The parser parses the packet for the header prior to receipt of the packet being completed. The lookup engine performs a lookup for the header and returns a resultant. In one aspect, the lookup includes performing a local lookup of a cache that includes resultants of previous lookups. The processor processes the resultant. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080307439 | REDUCING MEMORY ACCESSES IN PROCESSING TCP/IP PACKETS - A method, computer program product and system for processing TCP/IP packets. A TCP protocol stack may store a payload of a received TCP/IP packet in a data fragment list. The TCP protocol stack may further read the header of the received packet to extract a value used to index into a table storing a list of transport control blocks (TCBs). The TCP protocol stack may further perform a lock and a read operation on the TCB indexed in the table. The TCP protocol stack may further transmit the payload to the TCP application without requiring the application to perform a lock, read, write or unlock operation on the indexed TCB since the TCP protocol stack and the TCP application are operating on the same thread. By the TCP application foregoing the lock, read, write and unlock operations on the TCB, there is a reduction in the number of memory accesses. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20080317027 | SYSTEM FOR REDUCING LATENCY IN A HOST ETHERNET ADAPTER (HEA) - A system for reducing latency in a host Ethernet adapter (HEA) includes the following. First, the HEA receives a packet with an internet protocol (IP) header and data in the HEA. The HEA parses a connection identifier from the IP header and accesses a negative cache in the HEA to determine if the connection identifier is not in a memory external to the HEA. The HEA applies a default treatment to the packet if the connection identifier is not in the memory, thereby reducing latency by decreasing access to the memory. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090083611 | APPARATUS FOR BLIND CHECKSUM AND CORRECTION FOR NETWORK TRANSMISSIONS - Apparatus for providing a checksum in a network transmission. In one aspect of the invention, a checksum for a packet to be transmitted on a network is determined by retrieving packet information from a storage device, the packet information to be included in the packet to be transmitted. A blind checksum value is determined based on the retrieved packet information, and the blind checksum value is adjusted to a protocol checksum based on descriptor information describing the structure of the packet. The protocol checksum is inserted in the packet before the packet is transmitted. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090097404 | Oversubscribing Bandwidth In A Communications Network - A system and computer readable medium for oversubscribing bandwidth in a communication network, is disclosed. The system and computer readable medium includes policing a first data flow and outputting a first output data flow from the first meter, in relation to a first Committed Information Rate (CIR) and a first Peak Information Rate (PIR); policing a second data flow and outputting a second output data flow from the second meter in relation to a second CIR and a second PIR; and policing an aggregated output data flow of the first output data flow and the second output data through a third meter of the oversubscription module, where the aggregated output data flow is policed in relation to a third CIR and a third PIR. | 04-16-2009 |
