| 20080256603 | Method and system for securing a commercial grid network - A method for securing a commercial grid network involves receiving a lease request from a client to lease a computing resource selected from multiple computing resources in the commercial grid network, mapping a unique identifier of the client to a security label selected from multiple unmapped security labels to obtain a client-label mapping based on the lease request, mapping a unique identifier of the computing resource to the security label to obtain a resource-label mapping based on the lease request, storing the client-label mapping and the resource-label mapping in a security label repository to obtain stored security label mappings, and authenticating, by the commercial grid network, an access request from the client to the computing resource using the stored security label mappings. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090012963 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING HETEROGENEOUS RESOURCES FOR CLIENT SYSTEMS - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that provides heterogeneous resources for client systems. During operation, the system maintains a stateful resource database that tracks heterogeneous resources in a given environment. The system receives requests from client systems, and in response to the requests searches for a heterogeneous resource in the stateful resource database that matches the request. If the system finds an available heterogeneous resource that matches the request, it proceeds to submit the request to the resource. Maintaining and using the stateful resource database facilitates efficiently sharing scarce heterogeneous resources across a number of client systems. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090097480 | PARALLELIZING THE TCP BEHAVIOR OF A NETWORK CONNECTION - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that parallelizes the TCP-related actions of a network connection between two computer systems during a data transfer between the two computer systems. During operation, the first computer system partitions the data into two or more data segments, and assigns the data segments to multiple processing elements. These multiple processing elements subsequently prepare and send their assigned data segments to the second computer system in parallel using TCP. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090323691 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO PROVIDE VIRTUAL TOE INTERFACE WITH FAIL-OVER - A method for processing packets. The method includes receiving a first packet by a first socket on a host, determining by the first socket to process the first packet using a first virtual Transmission Control Protocol offload engine (VTOE), transmitting the first packet to the first VTOE, wherein transmitting the first packet to the first VTOE bypasses a first virtual network stack interposed between the first socket and first VTOE, transmitting the first packet to a HW TOE operatively connected to the host, processing the first packet, using the HW TOE, to obtain a first processed packet; and transmitting the first processed packet to a network operatively connected to the HW TOE, where the HW TOE is associated with the first VTOE and a second VTOE in the host. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100223390 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OFFLOADED TRANSPORT LAYER PROTOCOL SWITCHING - A method for using offloaded transport layer protocols involves signaling a network interface controller (NIC) with a signal to use one of multiple transport layer protocols embedded in the NIC, and transmitting a data packet via the NIC using the transport layer protocol. | 09-02-2010 |

The tissue includes a first layer and a second layer, the second layer below the first layer. The controller is configured so that the system delivers energy such that a peak power loss density profile is created in the second layer. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100114086 | METHODS, DEVICES, AND SYSTEMS FOR NON-INVASIVE DELIVERY OF MICROWAVE THERAPY - Methods, apparatuses and systems are provided for non-invasive delivery of microwave therapy. Microwave energy may be applied to epidermal, dermal and subdermal tissue of a patient to achieve various therapeutic and/or aesthetic results. In one embodiment, the microwave energy is applied to a target tissue via an energy delivery applicator connected to an energy generator. The energy delivery applicator may comprise one or more antennas, including monopole, dipole, slot and/or waveguide antennas (among others) that are used to direct the microwave energy to the target tissue. The energy delivery applicator may also comprise a cooling element for avoiding thermal destruction to non-target tissue and/or a suction device to localize thermal treatment at specific portions of a skin fold. | 05-06-2010 |
