20130114361 | SENSE AMPLIFIER HAVING AN ISOLATED PRE-CHARGE ARCHITECTURE, A MEMORY CIRCUIT INCORPORATING SUCH A SENSE AMPLIFIER AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - Disclosed are a sense amplifier and a memory circuit that incorporates it. The amplifier comprises cross-coupled inverters, each with a pull-down transistor and a pull-up transistor connected in series. One inverter has a voltage-controlled switch controlling the electrical connection between drain nodes of the transistors. During a read operation, the pull-up transistor drain node is pre-charged high and the pull-down transistor drain node receives an input signal. The switch is tripped, thereby making the electrical connection only when the voltage at the pull-down transistor drain node is less than the switch's trip voltage. In this case, the sense node discharges to the same level as the input signal. Otherwise, the switch prevents the electrical connection and the sense node remains high. The trip voltage depends on a reference voltage, which can be variable, thereby allowing the sensitivity of the sense amplifier to be selectively adjusted. Also disclosed are associated methods. | 05-09-2013 |

20090285209 | VOICE OVER CONTENT CENTRIC NETWORKS - A system for facilitating voice calls over a content centric network (CCN) receives from a CCN user an expressed interest in receiving voice calls directed to the CCN user, wherein information in the CCN can be addressed, located, and disseminated by its content identifier and wherein data packets in the CCN are self-authenticating. Next, the system receives from a second network a packet for a voice call directed to the CCN user. The system then forwards to the CCN user the packet received from the second network with a CCN identifier corresponding to the interest expressed by the CCN user and forwards a packet from the CCN user for the voice call to the second network. | 11-19-2009 |
20150117449 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HASH-BASED FORWARDING OF PACKETS WITH HIERARCHICALLY STRUCTURED VARIABLE-LENGTH IDENTIFIERS - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for forwarding packets with hierarchically structured variable-length identifiers (HSVLIs). During operation, the system receiving a packet with an HSVLI. The packet includes a first value and a second value. The first value uniquely represents an interest corresponding to the HSVLI. The second value is derived based on at least a subset of the HSVLI components. The system then makes a forwarding decision for the packet based on the first hash value and second hash value. | 04-30-2015 |
20150134612 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING SERVER HANDOFF IN A NAME-BASED CONTENT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - A server-handoff system facilitates replicating or migrating a data collection or service to one or more alternative servers of a distributed service. During operation, the system can detect a data-handoff condition for migrating or replicating data to an alternative or newly started server, and determines a namespace that is to be migrated or replicated. The namespace includes a data collection or an application publication space associated with one or more structured name prefixes. The system then identifies the alternative servers to which the namespace is to be replicated, and synchronizes a namespace configuration with the alternative content producer. The namespace configuration identifies a set of data items from the namespace which facilitates the alternative content producer to host the data or service. The alternative content producer can use the namespace configuration to obtain the data items associated with the namespace before hosting the data or service. | 05-14-2015 |
20150134680 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREFETCHING CONTENT IN A DATA STREAM - A data-processing system facilitates processing a data stream to assist other devices to pre-fetch elements of the data stream, out-of-sequence, for uninterrupted playback. During operation, the system can receive a data file, and segments the data file into a sequence of content objects. The system then determines a target content object that is to be processed out-of-sequence, and a corresponding source content object. The system then inserts a reference to the target content object, into the source content object, and stores the sequence of content objects. A client device can disseminate interest to obtain the data stream's content objects. Upon receiving a content object, the client device can determine whether the content object includes a reference to other content objects. If so, the client device can disseminate interests for these referenced content objects. | 05-14-2015 |
20150134781 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRE-FETCHING REMOTE CONTENT BASED ON STATIC AND DYNAMIC RECOMMENDATIONS - A data-caching system facilitates pre-loading a cache with content objects that are likely to be of interest to a client device, as determined based on their correlation to other content objects served to the client device. During operation, the system can receive an interest for a content object, and can determine whether the local network device can satisfy the interest. If so, the system generates a content-object recommendation that indicates other content objects that are correlated with the received interest, for example, by computing correlation values between the received interest and a plurality of historical interests. The system then provides the content recommendation to a remote network device from which the interest originated, such that the content recommendation indicates the correlated content objects to pre-load into a cache. | 05-14-2015 |
