Patent number: 7493084Abstract: A method for associating a WSTA to a service set, wherein the service set is configurable at the AP. Each service set is an arbitrary grouping of one or more network service parameters, and is typically configured for either VLAN or proxy mobile IP host. When a wireless station desires to associate with an access point, the wireless station sends a message to the access point, the message containing a SSID. The access point then matches the SSID to a service set and associates the WSTA to either a home subnet or a VLAN based on the SSID. By locally configuring the service set, the default VLAN and home subnet for a WSTA may be different at each AP the WSTA encounters. A security server is configured with a list of allowed SSIDs for each wireless station to prevent unauthorized access to a VLAN or home subnet.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2005Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Inventors: Robert C. Meier, Tim Olson, Victor J. Griswold, Sheausong Yang, Bhavannarayana Nelakanti

Publication number: 20060254922Abstract: Method for depositing a metallic material on an aluminum alloy surface for galvanic displacement type deposition, electrodeposition or electroless deposition of a metallic film on the surface wherein the alloy surface is oxidized (e.g. anodized) to form aluminum oxide and the oxidized surface is etched to leave a partial thickness of a barier aluminum oxide on the alloy surface. The partial thickness of the barrier oxide is controlled by etching to form a porous, metallic particulate film for a thin barrier oxide, or a continuous metallic film for thicker barrier oxide. The metallic film then is electrodeposited or electroless deposited on the barrier film.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2006Publication date: November 16, 2006Inventors: Dmitri Brevnov, Tim Olson

Patent number: 6885713Abstract: An electromagnetic matched filter based multiple access communications system having a source of modulated pulses from a digital data stream; an initial filter which shapes the incoming modulated pulse into a desired pulse for transmission across the communication medium; a second filter, identical to the initial filter, which is matched to the pulse which exit the communication medium, a detector which converts the modulated pulse stream into the original digital data stream, and signals which are designed with specific mathematical properties which make the system efficient and minimizes crosstalk between channels. The signals decay rapidly from the central lobe at a higher than 1/x rate and the zero points of the autocorrelation function having high order multiplicities. The type of system allows multiplexing of multiple data streams with much greater flexibility, robustness, and density.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2000Date of Patent: April 26, 2005Assignee: Comlink 3000 LLCInventors: Tim Olson, Ulf Osterberg, Dennis Healy, Seung Choi

Patent number: 5237700Abstract: A processor having improved exception handling capability handles second level exceptions with reduced exception latency. The processor processes instructions in order through a plurality of serial stages. A first set of registers continuously tracks each instruction as it advances from stage to stage. An exception handles processes first level exception conditions and precludes updating of the first set of registers when it processes first level exception conditions to permit the processor to restart at the point of a first level exception condition. A second set of registers continuously tracks the instruction in tandem with the first set of registers, but is updatable during the processing of first level exception conditions by the exception handles.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1990Date of Patent: August 17, 1993Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: William M.
