20100202448ROUTING-BASED PROXIMITY FOR COMMUNICATION NETWORKS - A node in an overlay network requests a ranked list of other nodes in the overlay network that can provide a desired piece of content or service to the requesting node. A separate node such as a router generates the ranked list using a routing algorithm, returning the list to the requesting node so that the requesting node may acquire the desired content or service from the nearest node in the overlay network.08-12-2010
20110032940TRIGGERING BANDWIDTH RESERVATION AND PRIORITY REMARKING - In one embodiment, a reservation proxy monitors for received connectivity check messages or beginning-of-media-flow indication messages. When either type of message is observed, the reservation proxy requests resource allocation for a media flow associated with the received message. The amount of resource allocation requested may be coordinated by exchanging messages with a call controller or policy server for one of the endpoints of the media flow, or the amount of resource allocation may be identified within the received message.02-10-2011

20100008361CARRIER'S CARRIER WITHOUT CUSTOMER-EDGE-TO-CUSTOMER-EDGE BORDER GATEWAY PROTOCOL - According to one aspect of the present invention, a method includes obtaining a first advertisement at a first provider edge (PE) device from a first customer edge (CE) device that is associated with a virtual private network, and sending a second advertisement on a control plane path associated with a border gateway protocol after obtaining the first advertisement. The first PE device has a routing and forwarding table. The first advertisement identifies a plurality of local routes associated with the first VPN, and includes a first indication that information relating to the plurality of local routes is not to be stored in the routing and forwarding table. The second advertisement identifies the local routes, an address of the first CE device, and the first CE device as a next hop.01-14-2010

20100226374HIERARCHICAL FLOODING AMONG PEERING OVERLAY NETWORKS - In a tiered system of networks capable of processing distributed hash table (DHT) Put and Get messages, if a sending network of a Put or Get is at a tier below a subject tier at which a subject network receiving the message is located, the message is forwarded to networks at tiers below the subject tier. On the other hand, if the sending network is at a tier equal to or above the subject tier, the message is forwarded to all networks in the system other than the sending network.09-09-2010
20100293295LIMITED BROADCAST, PEERING AMONG DHTs, BROADCAST PUT OF LIMITED CONTENT ONLY - In system of networks that are not fully meshed with each other and that are capable of processing distributed hash table (DHT) Put and Get messages, message flooding of GET messages is limited by maintaining a list of DHTs the GET has visited. Also, PUT messages include not only the storage location key in the home network but also a list of networks that the PUT has visited, in essence establishing a dynamically changing path within the PUT back to the home network.11-18-2010

20090244917AUTOMOTIVE INTERIOR COMPONENT COMBINING LIGHT AND MOVEMENT - The invention provides for an automotive interior component and method of making the same. The automotive interior component comprises a dock for receiving an object, a holder for receiving the dock and configured to movably store the dock, and a light source operatively connected to the dock. The light source provides continuous illumination of the dock as the dock moves from the holder to a deployed position, allowing ease of visible location and augmenting visual appeal of an automotive interior.10-01-2009

20100148531AUTOMOTIVE GLOVE BOX HINGE MECHANISM - A glove box hinge mechanism may include a plurality of linkages pivotally attaching a glove box to a vehicle dashboard structure. The linkages may be configured to pivot and translate the glove box upwards and outwards, limiting downward travel of the glove box. At least one torque tube may extend between the plurality of linkages to coordinate movement of the linkages. The torque tube may rotate with the plurality of linkages. A striker may be affixed to the torque tube so that the striker rotates towards a latch when the glove box is closed and so that the striker rotates to provide unobstructed access to the glove box in the open position.06-17-2010

20090205307LONG STRAND FORAGE HARVESTER - A device and method for cutting forage and lading the fresh cut forage onto a conveyor belt. The conveyer belt transports the fresh cut forage into a vehicle to transport the forage. The forage goes directly into the transport vehicle without being placed on the ground eliminating the need for additional runs to recover the forage.08-20-2009

20080269627Method and Apparatus for Sensing Improvement Using Pressure Data - Method and apparatus for sensing improvement using pressure data. The method and apparatus may be used in an implantable medical device to confirm that an EGM event signifies a true mechanical cardiac activity and not just electrical oversensing. The mechanical activity may be used to create a mechanical marker channel in the implantable medical device.10-30-2008

20100030302METHOD FOR DISPLAYING TRENDED DATA RETRIEVED FROM A MEDICAL DEVICE - A system for displaying trended data retrieved from a medical device comprising a medical device which monitors and stores trended patient data, a data center, and an intermediate data relay device. The intermediate device receives stored trended patient data from the medical device and uploads the data to the data center. The data center merges the uploaded data with patient data obtained during previous data uploads. Clinicians can access the uploaded and merged patient using an interactive web page which allows the clinicians to seamlessly view the data.02-04-2010

20100127954Display Form Factor Devices and Methods Thereof - Disclosed are display form factor devices having a first orientation and a second orientation, such a device including a display screen that is viewable from a plurality of positions. The display screen can be moved with respect to the first orientation and/or the second orientation. The display screen in accordance with a controller is configured to exhibit indicia having a particular orientation thereon, wherein the indicia having a particular orientation is dependent upon which of the at least one of a plurality of positions that is assumed by the screen body. For example, a particular orientation may be a reflective mode or a normal mode. A method of the device includes changing the particular orientation of the indicia based upon the position of the screen body. Sensed ambient conditions can provide input to determine the position of the screen body.05-27-2010
