  • Patent number: 11978740
    Abstract: A layer stack including a first bonding dielectric material layer, a dielectric metal oxide layer, and a second bonding dielectric material layer is formed over a top surface of a substrate including a substrate semiconductor layer. A conductive material layer is formed by depositing a conductive material over the second bonding dielectric material layer. The substrate semiconductor layer is thinned by removing portions of the substrate semiconductor layer that are distal from the layer stack, whereby a remaining portion of the substrate semiconductor layer includes a top semiconductor layer. A semiconductor device may be formed on the top semiconductor layer.

  • Patent number: 11943123
    Abstract: Determining a time-state metric includes receiving a stream of raw data values of an attribute. Each received raw data value of the attribute is associated with a timestamp. It further includes converting the received stream of raw data values into a timeline representation of the attribute over time. The timeline representation comprises a sequence of spans. A span comprises a span start time, a span end time, and a span value. The span value comprises an encoding of one or more values of the attribute over a time interval determined by the span start time and the span end time. It further includes determining a time-state metric according to a timeline request configuration. The timeline request configuration comprises one or more timeline operations. The time-state metric is computed at least in part by performing a timeline operation on the timeline representation of the attribute.

  • Patent number: 11336513
    Abstract: The systems, devices, and techniques discussed herein are directed to commissioning network nodes as they are installed in a network. A commissioning agent can be installed in a network node prior to installing the network node in a network. When coupled to a port of an aggregation network node, the network node and/or the aggregation network node can provide an indication of a generic or private Internet protocol (IP) address to a commissioning node. The commissioning node can determine that the network node is to be initialized, and can provide commissioning files to the network node. Accordingly, the network node can configure the network node based in part on the commissioning files, including updating an IP address of the network node to a public address. Thus, network nodes can be commissioned remotely without requiring a separate provisioning channel and without requiring the network node to be configured prior to installation.

  • Patent number: 11228460
    Abstract: A provisioning method and apparatus provided herein are directed to provisioning of customer equipment (CEs) remotely located at different customer sites via Ethernet. By assigning a CE IP address to a CE where the CE IP address is associated with a plurality of virtual local area network (VLAN) tags and assigning an aggregation equipment (AE) IP address to an AE, first communication between the CE and the AE may be established using the CE IP address and the AE IP address, a VLAN tag from the plurality of VLAN tags at the CE based on information received from the AE may automatically be selected, and second communication between the CE and the AE may be established using the selected VLAN tag.

  • Patent number: 10383000
    Abstract: OSS device(s) described herein are configured to receive a congestion indication from a RAT component, a CSR, or an edge router of a core network and to determine whether the congestion indication meets a threshold or criteria. Based on that determination, the OSS device(s) may perform one or both of obtaining additional transport resources from a provider of a transport network or updating a resource utilization policy for the RAT component, CSR, or edge router. If obtaining additional transport resources, the OSS device(s) may notify the RAT component, the CSR, and the edge router. If updating a policy, the OSS device(s) may provide the updated resource utilization policy to its associated RAT component, CSR, or edge router.

  • Patent number: 8244803
    Abstract: Striped Multiplexing Download Queue software facilitates and increases throughput for client-server downloads through a limited communication device. In the “DS Download Station” application, this is used to queue many requests and to broadcast download segments to requesters seeking the same data. This works by employing a “download stripe” on both the server and client. The download stripe on the server side tracks acknowledgements from clients per download segment. On the client side, the stripe tracks received segments to account for duplicate data. Requesters are queued on a first-come first-serve basis. Requesters in the queue may receive segments of downloads while waiting in queue, if the client at the front of the queue is downloading the same file. This recursively saves waiting time for clients in the queue.
