Abstract: An integrated circuit 2 has data processing circuitry processing a data signal passing along a data path 14. Clocked circuitry coupled to the data processing circuitry serves to regulate passage of the data signal along the data path. The data signal is supplied at a data signal voltage amplitude and the clock signal is supplied at a different clock signal voltage amplitude. The clock signal voltage amplitude is higher than the data signal voltage amplitude. A separate clock signal power supply grid 12 is provided in addition to the data power supply grid 10.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices are provided for configuring a read-write memory device with a data image. The method includes determining a data image distribution based on a virtual block size of a series of virtual blocks designated for the read-write memory device. The data image is divided into one or more data image portions, wherein a virtual boundary code is appended to at least one of the data image portions. The data image portions are stored in respective virtual blocks of the series of virtual blocks, skipping over any bad block within the read-write memory device, even between the virtual blocks.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a destination edge device configured to receive a first validation packet according to a switch fabric validation protocol. The destination edge device is configured to validate multiple data paths through a distributed switch fabric from a source edge device to the destination edge device based on the first validation packet. The destination edge device is configured to send, in response to receiving the first validation packet, a second validation packet to a peripheral processing device. The destination edge device is also configured to send the second validation packet according to a validation protocol different from the first validation protocol.

Abstract: Exemplary methods for upgrading route processor virtual machines (RP VMs) and line card virtual machines (LC VMs) include upgrading a second RP VM serving as a standby RPVM with a new RP VM image. The methods further include spawning, using a new LC VM image, a second set of LC VMs to serve as standby LC VMs. The methods also include performing incubation of standby VMs, by configuring a switch to forward data traffic to both the first and second set of LC VMs, thereby allowing system states of the standby VMs to be auto-populated by the data traffic. The methods further include, after the incubation has completed, swapping roles of VMs at the virtual router, such that data traffic are exchanged only between the switch and the upgraded VMs.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to a packet for holding substantially elongated articles such as cigarettes and the like. This invention can be used for secure packing of cigarettes, candy and the like products. It provides a click lock feature of the double layered folding lid. It is achieved through creating integrated notches from the folding lid, which locks with the slots created on the outer container with a click, delivering a secure closing and opening experience.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for injecting congestion in a link between adaptors in a network. A congestion request is sent to a selected adaptor in a containing network component comprising one of a plurality of network components. The selected adaptor is in communication with a linked adaptor in a linked network component comprising one of the network components. The congestion request causes a delay in servicing the selected adaptor to introduce congestion on a link between the selected adaptor and the linked adaptor.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a packaging assembly. More particularly the present invention relates to a packet for holding similar and/or dissimilar objects wherein said packet facilitates dispensing of objects when desired and reclosing to secure the said objects. It can be used in applications like a cigarette packet and like containers. This invention provides an advantageous feature of doubly securing the objects in the container.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for injecting congestion in a link between adaptors in a network. A congestion request is received for the selected adaptor at a containing network component comprising one of the network components. In response to the received congestion request, servicing the selected adaptor is delayed to introduce congestion on a link between the selected adaptor and the linked adaptor.

Abstract: An apparatus for recovering nutrients or water from digestate comprises one or more solid-liquid separation units, an ammonia stripping device, and a gas scrubbing unit. In a process, digestate is separated into a solids portion and a liquid portion. Ammonia is stripped from the liquid portion and converted into an ammonium salt solution which may be sold or used as, or blended with, a fertilizer product. Optionally, at least part of the remaining liquid portion may be concentrated to produce brine. The brine is mixed with the solids portion. The mixture may be dried and used as, or blended with, a fertilizer product. Optionally, a least part of the remaining liquid portion may be re-used as dilution water in a digester. A solids portion of the digestate, and one or both of an ammonium salt solution and a brine, may be used as fertilizer without thermal drying.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for determining when to aggregate packets (e.g., transmit an aggregated packet) at a protocol layer based on an indication of whether more packets are available for transfer from a higher layer. In aspects, the protocol layer may receive an indication from the higher layer of whether additional packets are present in a second packet queue of the higher layer for transfer to the protocol layer. Based on the received indication, the protocol layer may determine when to aggregate the packets in the protocol layer queue into an aggregated packet (e.g., whether to transmit the aggregated packet upon receipt of the indication, etc.). Determining when to aggregate packets in the protocol layer based on the indication may override conventional packet aggregation conditions such as an aggregation wait time, an aggregation window size (minimum or maximum), and the like.

Abstract: A method for recovering from an error in a multi-core storage-system component is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes detecting an error in a first core of a multi-core component. The method determines whether the error was one of (1) detected by the first core; and (2) detected by a core other than the first core. In the event the error was detected by the first core and the error is recoverable, the first core recovers from the error without substantially impacting operation of other cores in the multi-core component. In the event the error was detected by a core other than the first core and the error is recoverable, a core other than the first core recovers from the error without substantially impacting operation of other cores in the multi-core component. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed.
