Abstract: An apparatus and method of manufacture for metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistors is disclosed. Devices in accordance with the invention are operable at voltages below 2V. The devices are area efficient, have improved drive strength, and have reduced leakage current. A dynamic threshold voltage control scheme comprised of a forward biased diode in parallel with a capacitor is used, implemented without changing the existing MOS technology process. This scheme controls the threshold voltage of each transistor. In the OFF state, the magnitude of the threshold voltage of the transistor increases, keeping the transistor leakage to a minimum. In the ON state, the magnitude of the threshold voltage decreases, resulting in increased drive strength. The invention is particularly useful in MOS technology for both bulk and silicon on insulator (SOI) CMOS. The use of reverse biasing of the well, in conjunction with the above construct to further decrease leakage in a MOS transistor, is also shown.

A dynamic threshold voltage control scheme is used that does not require a change to existing MOS technology processes. Threshold voltage of the transistor is controlled, such that in the Off state, the threshold voltage of the transistor is set high, keeping the transistor leakage to a small value. The advantages provided by apply to dynamic logic, as well as in the specific well separation imposed by design rules because well potential difference are lower than the supply voltage swing.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for of high-speed and memory efficient rule matching, the rule matching being performed on an m-dimensional universe with each dimension bound by a given range of coordinate values, and a set of rules that apply to an undetermined number of coordinates in that universe. More specifically, a high-speed computer based packet classification system, uses an innovative set intersection memory configuration to provide efficient matching of packets flowing through a network system to a specific process flow based on a packet tuple. The system also provides classification of packets as they flow through a network system. More particularly, this system correlates these flowing packets with previously received packets, along with identifying the packets so that they are handled efficiently. The ability to correlate packets to their corresponding process flows permits the implementation of service aware networks (SAN) that are capable of handling network situations at the application level.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the implementation of high-speed and memory efficient rule matching in a computer system, the rule matching being performed on an m-dimensional universe with each dimension bound by a given lower and upper coordinate value, and a set of rules that apply to an undetermined number of coordinates in that universe.

The system also provides classification of packets as they flow through a network system. More particularly, this system provides the correlation of these flowing packets with previously received packets, along with identifying the packets so that they are handled efficiently.

Abstract: Techniques are described for switching from a data session to a voice session, then back to the data session. A "primary" data connection is established between a user's terminal and a communications network, which provides the user terminal with a tag identifying a voice network address (typically of a service provider) to which a voice connection can be established. The user initiates a voice connection (session) with the service provider by selecting a displayed service object associated with the service tag. During the voice session, the data session is suspended. Upon completion of the voice session, the "primary" data session is resumed. In an embodiment of the invention, a "secondary" data connection can be established during the voice session using one or more physical network connections. Data communication during the secondary data connection is optionally "remotely" guided by the service provider, and may include a distinct address for resuming the primary data connection.
