Patent number: 8588240Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that provide accounting in an access gateway of a communication network. Logic can be implemented in an access gateway to provide accounting in an access gateway when the data is tunneled or encapsulated by a protocol when passing through the access gateway. The access gateway can perform inspections on the data to determine what portions of the data are user payload data and be included in a count and what portions of the data can be ignored, such as control packets and overhead information on the packet. The logic can also be deployed in next generation networks, such as long-term evolution, to provide accounting at the access gateway in some situations.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2009Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Rajesh Ramankutty, Rajesh Velandy, Sanil Kumar Puthiyandyil

Publication number: 20130304902Abstract: In a network supporting transactions between clients and servers and proxies that are interposable in a network path, a pair of proxies can modify a packet stream such that packet data from client to server is transformed at a client-side proxy of the pair and untransformed at a server-side of the pair and packet data from server to client is transformed at the server-side proxy and untransformed at the client-side proxy. A discovering proxy transparently discovers its position in a proxy pair by using proxy signals. A discovering proxy might determine that it is a client-side proxy by receipt of a packet from client without a proxy signal, or that it is a server-side proxy by receipt of a packet from server without a return proxy signal. Once a proxy pair is discovered, it might transform traffic from server to client or vice versa, transforming and untransforming the traffic.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2012Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: Riverbed Technology, Inc.Inventor: Riverbed Technology, Inc.

Publication number: 20130300402Abstract: A structure and method are provided for self-test of a Z axis sensor. Two self-test current lines are symmetrically positioned adjacent, but equidistant from, each sense element. The vertical component of the magnetic field created from a current in the self-test lines is additive in a flux guide positioned adjacent, and orthogonal to, the sense element; however, the components of the magnetic fields in the plane of the sense element created by each of the two self-test current line pairs cancel one another at the sense element center, resulting in only the Z axis magnetic field being sensed during the self-test.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2012Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: EVERSPIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Lianjun Liu, Phillip Mather

Publication number: 20130300555Abstract: A seat belt reminder system includes an occupant sensor to detect an occupant in a seat of a vehicle and a buckle sensor to detect when a seat belt is latched to a seat belt buckle. A controller detects whether the seat belt buckle is latched and a wireless transmitter sends the buckle status to a remote receiver in the vehicle. The controller and transmitter are powered by a battery that is separate from the vehicle electrical system. The controller, transmitter, and battery may be incorporated into the occupant sensor. A separate power supply for the controller and transmitter and a wireless connection to the receiver in the vehicle eliminates the need for a wiring harness from the seat to the vehicle. The seat belt reminder system may provide long battery life by connecting the controller and transmitter to the battery only when the seat is occupied.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2012Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: DELPHI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Richard P.

Publication number: 20130301142Abstract: A telephoto zoom lens include a first, a second, a third and a fourth lens groups sequentially arranged along an optical axis and from an object side to an image side. The refractive powers of the four lens groups are positive, negative, positive and positive, respectively. The first lens group is fixed at a first predetermined position. The second lens group is movable along the optical axis depending on the variation of the magnifying power of the zoom lens. The third lens group is fixed at a second predetermined position. The fourth lens group is movable along the optical axis to keep an image plane generated by the zoom lens to project accurately onto an image sensor. Hence, the first and the third lens groups are in resting state, and the second and the fourth lens groups are movable during zoom-in or zoom-out operation of the zoom lens.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2012Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: A-OPTRONICS TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventors: SHENG-FANG CHENG, SHIH-MU LIN, YING-HSIN LIN

Publication number: 20130301471Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for topology discovery in a multi-hop ad hoc network. The method operates on two time and distance scales. Nodes periodically transmit messages to their immediate neighbors that enable the discovery of their two-hop network topologies (i.e., within two hops). Less frequently, nodes broadcast messages network-wide that enable the discovery of the global network topology at all nodes. In multi-hop ad hoc network architectures that are characterized by efficient broadcast protocols—e.g., Barrage Relay Networks—the proposed method provides a particularly efficacious means for global topology discovery.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2012Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: TrellisWare Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Thomas A.
