| 20080265301 | Self-aligned patterning method by using non-conformal film and etch back for flash memory and other semiconductor applications - A method for fabricating a memory device with a self-aligned trap layer which is optimized for scaling is disclosed. In the present invention, a non-conformal film is deposited over the charge trapping layer to form a thick film on top of the core source/drain region and a pinch off and a void or a narrow channel at the top of the STI trench. An etch is performed on the non-conformal film to open pinch-off or widen the narrow channel in the non-conformal. The trapping layer is then completely or partially etched between the core cells. The non-conformal film is removed. And a top oxide is formed. The top oxide converts the remaining trap layer to oxide if the trapping layer is partially etched and thus isolate the trap layer. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20080215910 | High-Availability Networking with Intelligent Failover - Methods and systems for maintaining high-availability in a computer network using intelligent failover are presented. In a network switch running an OSI model layer-2 or higher protocol on its external links, the protocol state information is monitored to determine failover status of the link to avoid identifying external link failures due to link flapping. One such protocol is the spanning tree protocol. Additionally, flexibility in failover is provided using configurable triggers to define external failure events. The triggers initiate a link drop of one or more internal links of the network switch in response to an external failure event. The link drops, in turn, initiate failover of an attached computing device to a redundant link through a network interface teaming/failover arrangement whereby the computing device switches to an alternative network interface accessing the network through a redundant path. Failover can be selective depending upon VLAN and trunking configurations. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20110026403 | TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT OF CLIENT TRAFFIC AT INGRESS LOCATION OF A DATA CENTER - A switch device includes a packet-forwarding table for providing traffic management across servers in a server group. Each table entry maps a hash value to a server in the server group. A hash value is computed from data in one or more fields in the header of a received packet. The computed hash value is used as an index into the packet-forwarding table to access a table entry and to identify from the table entry the server in the server group to which the table entry maps the computed hash value. The switch device forwards the packet to the identified server. Implementing traffic management decisions in hardware enables packet switching at the line rate of the switch ports. In addition, the hardware-based traffic management performed by the switch device eliminates session tables and the memory to store them, enabling the switch device to handle an unlimited number of client connections. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110026527 | TAG-BASED INTERFACE BETWEEN A SWITCHING DEVICE AND SERVERS FOR USE IN FRAME PROCESSING AND FORWARDING - A data center includes a blade server rack with a switch device in communication with a plurality of servers. To process a frame, the switch device determines, from content in a frame header by the switch device, a port through which to forward the frame to a server. The switch device inserts a value into a particular field, for example, a VLAN (virtual Local Area Network) tag, in the frame header before forwarding the frame. The server performs a specific action related to processing the frame based on the value inserted by the switch device into the particular field in the frame header. The server can modify the value in the particular field of the frame header before returning the frame to the switch device, with the switch device performing a specific action based on the value in the particular field of the frame header as modified by the server. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20120117228 | DYNAMIC TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN A DATA CENTER - A network element in a data center includes a plurality of servers and a switch. The switch includes a plurality of physical ports, a packet-forwarding table, and an application program interface (API) for modifying a packet-forwarding behavior of the switch. The packet-forwarding table determines a packet-traffic distribution across the servers by mapping packet traffic arriving at the switch to the plurality of ports. Each port of the plurality of physical ports is in communication with one of the servers. The network element further includes means for determining in real time the packet-traffic distribution across the servers, and means for dynamically changing the packet-traffic distribution across the servers in response to the determined packet-traffic distribution by modifying the packet-forwarding behavior of the switch through the API of the switch. | 05-10-2012 |
