20110058552 | Multicast Control Technique Using MPLS - In this invention, an idea of the reverse direction label switched path (RLP) in Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is applied to the multicast transmission to improve the management transmission in the multicast transmission, and to easily carry out an additional connection and disconnection. Specifically, in the reverse direction symmetric routing Label switched Path (LP), a virtual label in addition to an input label and an output label is used for the reverse direction routing. However, in this invention, instead of the virtual label, a multicast address to which a client terminal, which is connected to a head of the path on the reverse direction routing, and corresponds to a leaf in the multicast tree, is connected, is registered, as a multicast index, in routers on the path. Then, when receiving a multicast packet including a label and a multicast address, an output label corresponding to the received label is identified, thereby a destination link is identified. | 03-10-2011 |

20090141410 | CURRENT-PERPENDICULAR-TO-THE-PLANE STRUCTURE MAGNETORESISTIVE ELEMENT AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME AND STORAGE APPARATUS - An electrically-conductive or insulating non-magnetic intermediate layer is inserted between a free magnetic layer and a pinned magnetic layer in a current-perpendicular-to-the-plane (CPP) structure magnetoresistive element. At least one of the free magnetic layer and the pinned magnetic layer is made of a nitrided magnetic metal alloy. This nitrided magnetic layers allows the CPP structure magnetoresistive element to enjoy an increased magnetoresistance change (ΔRA). In addition, the saturation magnetic flux density (Bs) decreases in a nitrided magnetic metal alloy. The inversion of magnetization is thus easily caused in the low Bs magnetic layer. The detection sensitivity of the CPP structure magnetoresistive element is improved. The CPP structure magnetoresistive element is thus allowed to detect magnetic bit data with higher accuracy. | 06-04-2009 |
