Abstract: A hair ornamentation system for use by a wearer is disclosed. The system includes a hair track, a plurality of natural or synthetic hair filaments connected to the hair track, and a releasably securable connector connected to the hair track. The releasably securable connector serves to mount it on the head of the wearer, so that a portion of the hair track faces away from the scalp and is visible. That portion of the hair track is itself ornamented to provide an aesthetically pleasing ornamented surface. The system can include at least one or several different ornamentation members for releasable securement to the hair track to provide various different aesthetically pleasing ornamented surfaces.

Abstract: A high-speed system for processing a packet and routing the packet to a packet destination port, the system comprising: (a) a memory block for storing tabulated entries, (b) a parsing subsystem containing at least one microcode machine for parsing the packet, thereby obtaining at least one search key, (c) a searching subsystem containing at least one microcode machine for searching for a match between said at least one search key and said tabulated entries, (d) a resolution subsystem containing at least one microcode machine for resolving the packet destination port, and (e) a modification subsystem containing at least one microcode machine for making requisite modifications to the packet; wherein at least one of said microcode machines is a customized microcode machine.
