20160043074 | JUNCTIONLESS NANOWIRE TRANSISTORS FOR 3D MONOLITHIC INTEGRATION OF CMOS INVERTERS - The invention provides a three dimensional (3D) semi-conductor device comprising a first junctionless transistor doped with dopants of the same polarity; a second junctionless transistor doped with dopants of the same polarity; and the second junctionless transistor and the first junctionless transistor comprise an opposite dopant polarity are stacked in a vertical arrangement, where the first and second junctionless transistors are separated by an insulating layer. The invention makes use of the fact that the transistors are uniformly doped with the same polarity to provide a junctionless transistor. The junctionless concept provides that the junction is already formed, so there is no high temperature step associated with junction formation or junction regrowth. This is an important advantage in the junctionless concept in relation to 3D monolithic integration that allows for vertical stacking of the transistors to form a three dimensional CMOS inverter. | 02-11-2016 |

20080271146 | Identifying a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack within a network and defending against such an attack - The invention provides methods, apparatus and systems for detecting distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks within the Internet by sampling packets at a point or points in Internet backbone connections to determine a packet metric parameter. The packet metric parameter which might comprise the volume of packets received is analysed over selected time intervals with respect to specified geographical locations in which the hosts transmitting the packets are located. The expected behaviour can be employed to identify traffic distortions revealing a DDoS attack. In a complementary aspect, the invention provides a method of authenticating packets at routers in order to elevate the QoS of authenticated packets. This method can be used to block or filter packets and can be used in conjunction with the DDoS attack detection system to defend against DDoS attacks within the Internet in a distributed manner. | 10-30-2008 |

20110175604 | STABILIZATION SYSTEM FOR SENSORS ON MOVING PLATFORMS - A stabilized field sensor apparatus collects field data, in particular magnetic field data, with reduced motion noise. The apparatus includes a tear drop shaped housing, a tow frame in the housing, a plurality of vibration isolating dampers spaced around the frame, a base assembly mounted to the dampers, a support pedestal having a bottom end fixed to the base assembly and an upper free end, a single spherical air bearing connected to the upper free end of the pedestal, an instrument platform with a lower hollow funnel having an upper inside apex supported on the air bearing for a one point support, principal and secondary gyro stabilizers for maintaining pivotal and rotational stability, and at least one field sensor mounted to the instrument platform for collecting the field data while being stabilized against motion noise including vibration, pivoting and rotation from the base assembly, from the tow frame and from the housing. Stabilization of the instrument platform is enhanced by preserving accurate balance through a dynamic balancing system whereby small masses are moved under computer control to maintain the center of mass of the instrument platform at the center of rotation of the spherical air bearing. The dynamic stabilization process is made more precise by actively vibrating the instrument platform by a set of linear vibrators. | 07-21-2011 |

20150059154 | Method of Rendering A Lacrosse Head Pocket Hydrophobic and Oleophobic - A hydrophobic and oleophobic coating is applied to the mesh netting of a lacrosse stick head in two layers. The application is made to the netting by coating the strings either before or after they are woven into the netting, but prior to installation on the lacrosse stick head. In the preferred method, each coating layer is applied in a wet thickness of 3.0 to 5.0 mils (0.003-0.005 inches). When the coating is dry, the result is a dry film thickness of 1.0-1.5 mils (0.001 to 0.0015 inches) for each layer. Thus, two layers of the coating have a total dry thickness of 2-3 mils (0.002-0.003 inches). As a result of the coating method, a surface tension is created on the surfaces of the mesh that prevents water, dirt, mud and oil from attaching to the mesh, thus preventing these materials from permeating the mesh. | 03-05-2015 |

20090019333 | Generation of parity-check matrices - Circuits perform row-by-row matrix generation for encoding and decoding of data blocks. They perform fast algebraic generation of high performance low density parity check (LDPC) matrices suitable for use in a wide range of error correction coding and decoding (ECC) applications. Circuit operation is based on a mathematical Cyclic Ring method that enables matrices of any size to be generated from a simple set of initial parameters, based on user-defined performance requirements. The main steps for generating a parity check matrix (H) are selection of an RG matrix structure, selection of Group Ring elements, generating the sub matrices for the RG matrix by a row filling scheme, generating the RG matrix by a cyclic arrangement of the sub matrices, and generating the parity-check matrix by deleting suitably chosen columns from the RG matrix to achieve the desired performance and then transposing the matrix. A circuit performs data encoding or decoding by receiving initial vectors calculated from row vectors of a previously-generated parity check matrix H, cyclic shifting the vectors to generate a desired output row of the parity check matrix H, re-arranging the operation order of the vectors depending on the RG matrix structure and the chosen row, operating on the vectors on information to be encoded. | 01-15-2009 |
