Abstract: A method for sign-on and sign-out for a computer system. The method includes receiving a first sign-on request for the computer system and obtaining, from the first sign-on request, a first user identifier where the first user identifier corresponds to a first user for the computer system. The method then includes obtaining, from the first sign-on request, a first uniform resource locator (URL) and determining whether the first URL includes a first root name for the computer system. When a determination is made that the first URL includes the first root name for the computer system a first cookie associated with the first user is issued and a first sub-domain name is obtained from the first URL. Also, a second cookie may be issued associated with the first sub-domain name and, when the first cookie and the second cookie are issued, the first user may sign-on to the computer system. In one or more embodiments, the method may include receiving a sign-out request.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hardware NFA cell array used to find matches to regular expressions or other rules in an input symbol stream. The cell array scans multiple symbols per clock cycle by comparing multiple symbol classes against multiple input symbols per cycle in parallel, signaling bundles of multiple transitions from parent cells to child cells and updating NFA state status by multiple steps. To retain high frequency operation, the cell array will not resolve transition chains from a first cell to a second cell to a third cell in a single cycle. When a chain is required, the cell array takes fewer steps in one cycle to break the chain into separate cycles. To detect multi-transition chains, each cell compares symbol classes to future symbols in advance and back-communicates future match positions to parent cells in the array as launch hazards.

Abstract: A novel overlay networking method designed specifically to handle the large file transfers that constitute a large and growing portion of media-rich Internet traffic is disclosed. The proposed system and method uses large (e.g., 10 MB) packets or Media Frames (MF) and orderly concatenations of these frames into chains (MC) to achieve a considerable reduction in power consumption relative to current IP Internet routers. Transmission of each MC is scheduled, while individual MFs are routed directly in interstices within MCs.

Abstract: A system and method for deduplicating messages is provided. Duplicate copies of messages are excluded from a set of deduplicated messages. The set of deduplicated messages can then be sampled to obtain a sample set usable for ensuring compliance according to a set of rules. One method for deduplicating messages involves receiving a message, determining whether the message is a duplicate copy, and adding the message to the set of deduplicated messages, if it is determined that the message is not a duplicate copy.

When the first flag indicates that the data block is a first data block in a message, the data block also contains a device ID, a command token, and message content. When the first flag indicates that the data block is a subsequent data block in a multiple data block message, the data block contains additional message content that is appended to message content from a previously received data block.

Abstract: Techniques for inter-user equipment (UE) transfer (IUT) are disclosed. An application server receives an IUT request for transfer of a media session toward at least one UE such that a media stream is played by at least two UEs that are geographically separated after the transfer. The application server triggers inter-destination media synchronization (IDMS) for group synchronization of the media session among the UEs. The media stream may be anchored at a media server, and a media synchronization application server for the IDMS may be running at the media server. Alternatively, the media stream may be anchored at a media resource function (MRF), and a media synchronization application server for the IDMS may be running at the MRF.

Abstract: Techniques are described for predictively starting a processing element. Embodiments receive streaming data to be processed by a plurality of processing elements. An operator graph of the plurality of processing elements that defines at least one execution path is established. Embodiments determine a historical startup time for a first processing element in the operator graph, where, once started, the first processing element begins normal operations once the first processing element has received a requisite amount of data from one or more upstream processing elements. Additionally, embodiments determine an amount of time the first processing element takes to receive the requisite amount of data from the one or more upstream processing elements. The first processing element is then predictively started at a first startup time based on the determined historical startup time and the determined amount of time historically taken to receive the requisite amount of data.
