| 20100318921 | DIGITAL EASEL COLLABORATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system for digital content collaboration has several conference rooms, each having a digital easel and a group display device providing a plurality of image display locations. Each digital easel has a touch sensitive display and a pointing device to receive annotations and manipulations of digital content items. The group display device displays a plurality of digital content items, each in one of several image display locations. Each digital easel has several predefined image display areas, and each image display area is associated with one of the image display locations of the group display device. The digital easel is operable to receive a selection of a digital content item for any of the plurality of image display locations from a user via the pointing device. Upon receipt of the selection, the system automatically displays the selected digital content item in the associated image display location of the group display device and to simultaneously in the image display area of the digital easel. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20090196181 | TECHNIQUE TO AUTOMATICALLY DEAGGREGATE AN OPTIMUM SET TO PREVENT SUBOPTIMAL ROUTING OR ROUTING FAILURES WITHIN A LINK STATE FLOODING DOMAIN - In one embodiment, information is signaled between aggregating routers indicating the components of aggregated addresses. This information is used to dynamically leak, or deaggregate, specific parts of the aggregated address space to reduce sub-optimal routing and possibly prevent routing black holes from occurring in a network. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20110222550 | APPARATUS AND METHOD TO HIDE TRANSIT ONLY MULTI-ACCESS NETWORKS IN OSPF - In one embodiment, a Link State Advertisement (LSA) is received from a first router in a network at a second router in the network. The LSA advertises an address of an interface of the first router. The second router determines whether the LSA includes a transit-only identification that indicates the interface of the first router is a transit-only interface. If the LSA does not include a transit-only identification, the second router installs the advertised address of the interface of the first router in a Router Information Base (RIB) of the second router. If the LSA does include a transit-only identification, the second router declines to install the advertised address of the interface of the first router in the RIB of the second router. | 09-15-2011 |
