| 20090141124 | System and methods for vital sign estimation from passive thermal video - A system for measuring a pulse and respiratory rate from passive thermal video includes contour segmentation and tracking, clustering of informative pixels of interests, and robust dominant frequency component estimation. Contour segmentation is used to locate a blood vessel region to measure, after which all pixels in the nearby region are aligned across frames based on the segmentation's position, and scale in each frame. Spatial filtering is then performed to remove noise not related to heart beat and then non-linear filtering is performed on the temporal signal corresponding to each aligned pixel. The signal spectrum of each pixel is then feed to a clustering algorithm for outlier removal. Pixels in the largest cluster are then used to vote for the dominant frequency, and the median of the dominant frequency is output as the pulse rate. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20110271014 | DIRECT I/O DEVICE ACCESS BY A VIRTUAL MACHINE WITH MEMORY MANAGED USING MEMORY DISAGGREGATION - Illustrated is a system and method for identifying a memory page that is accessible via a common physical address, the common physical address simultaneously accessed by a hypervisor remapping the physical address to a machine address, and the physical address used as part of a DMA operation generated by an I/O device that is programmed by a VM. It also includes transmitting data associated with the memory page as part of a memory disaggregation regime, the memory disaggregation regime to include an allocation of an additional memory page, on a remote memory device, to which the data will be written. It further includes updating a P2M translation table associated with the hypervisor, and an IOMMU translation table associated with the I/O device, to reflect a mapping from the physical address to a machine address associated with the remote memory device and used to identify the additional memory page. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20120017029 | SHARING MEMORY SPACES FOR ACCESS BY HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE IN A VIRTUAL MACHINE ENVIRONMENT - Example methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to share memory spaces for access by hardware and software in a virtual machine environment are disclosed. A disclosed example method involves enabling a sharing of a memory page of a source domain executing on a first virtual machine with a destination domain executing on a second virtual machine. The example method also involves mapping the memory page to an address space of the destination domain and adding an address translation entry for the memory page in a table. In addition, the example method involves sharing the memory page with a hardware device for direct memory access of the memory page by the hardware device. | 01-19-2012 |
| 20120096052 | Managing a Data Structure - In a method for managing a data structure in a memory, an accessor to access a version of the data structure is determined, in which the accessor includes a version number and a fat pointer, in which the version number corresponds to the most recent version of the data structure, and wherein the fat pointer is configured to enable for multiple versions of a linked-data structure to be maintained. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120110656 | SELECTIVE INVALIDATION OF PACKET FILTERING RESULTS - Example embodiments relate to selective invalidation of packet filtering cache results based on rule priority. In example embodiments, a network node determines whether a rule identifier included in a cache entry of a cache of results of a packet filtering rule set is of a higher priority than a highest priority rule corresponding to a rule set version identifier included in the cache entry. If so, the network node may apply an action included in the cache entry. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120124167 | TEACHING A NETWORK DEVICE USING UNSOLICITED TEACHING MESSAGES - Illustrated is a system and method to generate a teaching message with a host device address that impersonates a device source address, the impersonation to instruct an additional network device as to the host device address. It further include a transmitter to transmit the teaching message to the additional network device. It also includes traversing a forwarding table to identify an additional network device that has yet to receive a teaching message since an expiration of a predefined threshold value, the teaching message to relate to a source device. It also includes a transmitter to transmit a teaching message to the additional network device. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120210042 | REMOTE MEMORY FOR VIRTUAL MACHINES - Remote memory can be used for a number idle pages located on a virtual machine. A number of idle pages can be sent to the remote memory according to a placement policy, where the placement policy can include a number of weighting factors. A hypervisor on a computing device can record a local size and a remote page fault frequency of the number of virtual machines. The hypervisor can scan local memory to determine the number of idle pages and a number of idle virtual machines. The number of idle pages, including a page map and a remote address destination for each idle page, can be sent to the remote memory by the hypervisor. The number of virtual machines can be analyzed to determine a per-virtual machine local memory allocation. | 08-16-2012 |
| 20120317566 | VIRTUAL MACHINE PACKET PROCESSING - Packet processing for packets from a virtual machine includes receiving a packet from an external switch at a computer system hosting a plurality of virtual machines. If the received packet is a learning packet, storing a packet signature determined from the learning packet. For a packet to be transmitted from a virtual machine in the computer system, determining if the packet's signature matches the stored packet signature. If the packet's signature matches the stored packet signature, performing an action associated with the packet signature. | 12-13-2012 |

| 20130061012 | VIRTUAL MACHINE CODE INJECTION - A memory has a page to store code executable by a processor. A management component is to inject the code into a virtual machine. The management component is to indicate within a memory table for the virtual machine that the page of the memory has an injected code type. | 03-07-2013 |
