Patent number: 10205660Abstract: The present disclosure describes a networking switch of a network and method for operating the networking switch. The networking switch communicates within the network using datagrams, such as packets and/or frames. The frames include packets of a first communication protocol or layer having headers of the first communication protocol or layer. In some situations, the packets of the first communication protocol or layer are embedded with packets of a second communication protocol or layer. Often times, one or more fields of headers of the first communication protocol or layer convey substantially similar or redundant information, such as routing information to provide an example, as one or more fields of headers of the second communication protocol or layer.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2016Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Avago Technologies International Sales Pte.

Patent number: 9961131Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software for providing enhanced reliability for web services. In an implementation, a proxy service supports web services provided by a client application to at least an online service. While the client application is temporarily disconnected from the proxy service, the proxy service monitors for web services activity to occur in association with the web services provided by the client application to at least the online service. In response to the client application reconnecting to the proxy service after having been temporarily disconnected from the proxy service, the proxy service communicates activity information to the client application indicative at least of whether or not to query the online service with respect to the web services activity.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2014Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Bruce Bernard Lowekamp, Matthew Todd Kaufman

Patent number: 9500644Abstract: Particle populations and assays are provided which have varying amounts of magnetic material and varying particle concentrations among different subsets of particles. In particular, the particle populations and assays include at least two particle sets with distinct sums of particles which are inversely related to the magnetic material concentration comprising each of the particles within the two particle sets, respectively. A method for processing an assay having such particle sets includes routing the assay in proximity to an imaging plane within a static imaging optical analysis system and generating a magnetic field in proximity to the imaging plane. The magnetic field is sufficient to attract and immobilize a ratio of particles from the at least two discrete particle sets that is different from the ratio of particles comprising the at least two discrete particle sets in the assay as the assay is introduced into the static imaging optical analysis system.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2011Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: LUMINEX CORPORATIONInventors: Adam Schilffarth, Bruce Bernard, Ben Mize

Patent number: 9281955Abstract: Technologies are provided in example embodiments for intercepting a packet being multicast from a first tunnel endpoint in a network, determining first address mapping information of the first tunnel endpoint and a first host, wherein the first host created the packet, generating a control protocol message with the first address mapping information, and communicating the control protocol message through a control plane in the network. In more specific example embodiments, the communicating the control protocol message includes sending the control protocol message to a network repository, where the first address mapping information is registered in the network repository. In other more specific example embodiments, the communicating the control protocol message includes pushing the control protocol message to one or more other tunnel endpoints. Further embodiments include decapsulating the packet to determine an endpoint identifier of the first host and a location of the first tunnel endpoint.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2015Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Victor Manuel Moreno, Ian Bruce Bernard Cox

Patent number: 9118733Abstract: A communication system comprising a plurality of nodes that are capable of establishing a communication connection between two or more clients, the plurality of nodes being arranged in a hierarchy in which a node comprised in one level of the hierarchy is more likely to be reachable by a client trying to establish a communication connection with another client than a node comprised in a lower level of the hierarchy, the communication system being arranged such that, when a client determines that a node is unreachable for establishing a communication connection between it and another client, that communication connection is instead established by a node comprised in a higher level of the hierarchy than the unreachable node.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2010Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: SkypeInventor: Bruce Bernard Lowekamp

Patent number: 8947265Abstract: A signal or lighting system synchronizes the flashing of multiple signal or lighting assemblies. When one of the assemblies is triggered, it broadcasts a temporally staggered sequence of signals, each signal instructing the receiving assemblies to initiate flashing of their beacons a given countdown time after that particular signal is transmitted. The countdown times of the various signals all count down to the same flashing start time so that the originating and receiving beacons all being flashing at the same time. The temporal diversity of the signals enhances the ability to overcome potential interference as at least one of the signals in the sequence is likely to be received by the destination assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2013Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Carmanah Technologies Corp.Inventors: Bruce Bernard, Darren Beckwith
