Patent number: 11953264Abstract: A method of manufacturing ceramic tape includes a step of directing a tape of partially-sintered ceramic into a furnace. The tape is partially-sintered such that grains of the ceramic are fused to one another yet the tape still includes at least 10% porosity by volume, where the porosity refers to volume of the tape unoccupied by the ceramic. The method further includes steps of conveying the tape through the furnace and further sintering the tape as the tape is conveyed through the furnace. The porosity of the tape decreases during the further sintering step.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Michael Edward Badding, William Joseph Bouton, Jacqueline Leslie Brown, Timothy Joseph Curry, Roman E Hurny, Lanrik Wayne Kester, Thomas Dale Ketcham, John Albert Olenick, Kathleen Ritter Olenick, Jeremy Paananen, Thomas Silverblatt, Dell Joseph St Julien, Viswanathan Venkateswaran, Nathan Michael Zink

Publication number: 20230135615Abstract: A network device is configured to route an ingress packet based on its L2 header. In some configurations the ingress packet is routed based only on the destination MAC (DMAC) address in the L2 header, which allows the network device to begin routing as soon as the DMAC is received. The DMAC can be used in a table look up operation to identify routing actions for a nexthop. An egress packet is produced from the ingress packet using the routing actions. The egress packet is then sent on an egress port specified in the routing actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: David SNOWDON, Andrew John Edward BROWN, Hugh Weber HOLBROOK

Publication number: 20220141227Abstract: Technologies are described for managing metadata associated with external content. For example metadata can be obtained that describes content stored on external systems. The metadata can be obtained without locally storing the content items themselves. For example, the metadata can be retrieved from the external systems while the external content continues to be stored on the external systems. The metadata can also include indications of the actions that can be performed in relation to the external content. For example, actions can be obtained (e.g., locally determined and/or obtained from the external systems) and added to the metadata. The metadata can be stored and used locally. For example, the metadata can be used to locally perform the actions in relation to the external content. The metadata can also be used to locally initiate actions that are then carried out in the external systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2022Publication date: May 5, 2022Applicant: Jive Software, Inc.Inventors: William Frederick Frantz, III, David Edward Brown
