Abstract: Communicating transaction-specific attributes in a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) system is disclosed. A PCIe system includes a host system and at least one PCIe endpoint. The PCIe endpoint is configured to determine one or more transaction-specific attributes that can improve efficiency and performance of a predefined host transaction. In this regard, in one aspect, the PCIe endpoint encodes the transaction-specific attributes in a transaction layer packet (TLP) prefix of at least one PCIe TLP and provides the PCIe TLP to the host system. In another aspect, a PCIe root complex (RC) in the host system is configured to detect and extract the transaction-specific attributes from the TLP prefix of the PCIe TLP received from the PCIe endpoint. By communicating the transaction-specific attributes in the TLP prefix of the PCIe TLP, it is possible to improve efficiency and performance of the PCIe system without violating the existing PCIe standard.

Abstract: Extended message signaled interrupts (MSI) data are disclosed. In one aspect, MSI bits are modified to include a system level identifier. In an exemplary aspect, an upper sixteen bits of the MSI message data are modified to be the system level identifier. By providing the system level identifier within the MSI message data, an interrupt controller can verify the interrupt source.

The package has a sealed cavity therein and a patterned metal inductor in the cavity. The inductor has at least a first terminal electrically coupled to a portion of the integrated circuit substrate by an electrically conductive via, which extends at least partially through the package. The package, which may include a material selected from a group consisting of glass and ceramics, includes a base and a cap sealed to the base.

The base may also include first and second electrically conductive vias therein, which are electrically connected to first and second terminals of the inductor.

Abstract: In the various aspects, virtualization techniques may be used to improve performance and reduce the amount of power consumed by selectively enabling a hypervisor operating on a computing device during sandbox sessions. In the various aspects, a high-level operating system may allocate memory such that its intermediate physical addresses are equal to the physical addresses. When the hypervisor is disabled, the hypervisor may suspend second stage translations from intermediate physical addresses to physical addresses. During a sandbox session, the hypervisor may be enabled and resume performing second stage translations.

Abstract: A crystal oscillator fabrication method includes depositing mounting cement onto first and second mounting pads on a substrate to thereby define first and second electrode adhesion bumps. First and second electrodes of a crystal oscillator are electrically connected to the first and second mounting pads by contacting the first and second electrodes to the first and second electrode adhesion bumps and then curing the adhesion bumps. Next, mounting cement is deposited onto the first electrode and onto a portion of the first electrode adhesion bump to thereby define a top electrode adhesion extension. The top electrode adhesion extension is then cured.

Abstract: A packaged integrated circuit includes an integrated circuit substrate and a cap bonded to a surface of the integrated circuit substrate. The cap has a recess therein that is at least partially lined with at least one segment of an inductor. This inductor may be electrically coupled to an electrical component within the integrated circuit substrate. In some embodiments, the inductor is patterned to extend along a sidewall and interior top surface of the recess, which extends opposite the integrated circuit substrate. The inductor may include a plurality of arcuate-shaped segments and may be patterned to be symmetric about a center-tapped portion thereof. The cap may also include a magnetic material therein that increases an effective inductance of the inductor relative to an otherwise equivalent cap and inductor combination that is devoid of the magnetic material.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes an integrated circuit substrate having a two piece package thereon. The package has a hermetically sealed cavity therein and a crystal resonator within the cavity. The crystal resonator includes at least one electrode electrically coupled to a portion of the integrated circuit substrate by an electrically conductive via, which extends at least partially through the package. The package may include a material selected from a group consisting of glass and ceramics. The crystal resonator includes a crystal blank and first and second electrodes on first and second opposing sides of the crystal blank. The package includes a base having a recess therein and a cap hermetically sealed to the base. The cap includes first and second electrical traces thereon, which are electrically connected to the first and second electrodes of the crystal resonator.

Abstract: Techniques allow an intermediate (IM) device to transparently intercept and dynamically modify signaling messages being exchanged by a client and a server when negotiating setup and delivery of a multimedia stream from a streaming server. The techniques also allow an IM device to dynamically convert the real-time multimedia stream from a first transport layer protocol to a second transport layer protocol, and the reverse, based on the particular topology of the network including the presence and location of any security devices that may block the multimedia stream. The IM device may be configured to dynamically modify messages intercepted between the client and the server to change a transport layer protocol indicated by the messages from the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and the reverse, and convert a UDP data stream to TCP packets and inject the TCP packets into an established TCP session.

Abstract: A method includes reading, by a processor, one or more configuration values from a storage device or a memory management unit. The method also includes loading the one or more configuration values into one or more registers of the processor. The one or more registers are useable by the processor to perform address translation.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a primary hypervisor that is executable on a first set of processors and a secondary hypervisor that is executable on a second set of processors. The primary hypervisor may define settings of a resource and the secondary hypervisor may use the resource based on the settings defined by the primary hypervisor. For example, the primary hypervisor may program memory address translation mappings for the secondary hypervisor. The primary hypervisor and the secondary hypervisor may include their own schedulers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for crowed prediction and attendance forecasting are described. In some embodiments, a method may include generating an initial attendance forecast for a venue (e.g., a retail store, a restaurant, a bar, a nightclub, a museum, a theater, a stadium, an airport, a hotel, a park, etc.) using a historical attendance prediction model and historical data (e.g., historical point-of-sale data, weather data, geo-position data, satellite image data, or traffic data, etc.). The method may also include creating a dynamic attendance prediction model for the venue based, at least in part, upon the initial attendance forecast and real-time data (e.g., real-time point-of-sale data, utility usage data, employee attendance data, audio or visual equipment usage data, number of detected internet-enabled devices, reservation data, arrivals and departures data, social network data, etc.).
