Abstract: An apparatus for cooperating with a mobile device having an embedded transceiver is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing and a mechanical connector on the housing, the mechanical connector being configured to mechanically retain the mobile device. At least one port within the housing conveys energy to at least one auxiliary wireless transceiver associable with the apparatus. The apparatus is configured to cooperate with the mobile device when the mobile device is retained on the housing by the mechanical connector, to enable transmission of a first portion of a data stream over the at least one auxiliary transceiver while a second portion of the data stream is simultaneously transmitted over the embedded transceiver.

Abstract: Regular expression matching is performed on a sequence of characters using a pipeline architecture of regular expression matching stages. Multiple regular expression matching stages are connected together in a pipeline manner, with each of these regular expression matching stages corresponding to a different portions of the regular expression. These stages are response to indications from their immediately preceding stages (if they have a preceding stage) of whether or not a progressive match was determined. If all preceding stages matched for corresponding characters of the sequence of characters, then a stage will identify whether or not the current character matches its programmed portion of the regular expression to a next stage or to another device (e.g., the final stage may indicate to a packet processor whether or not the regular expression is matched).
