Patent number: 9325787Abstract: In system of networks that are not fully meshed with each other and that are capable of processing distributed hash table (DHT) Put and Get messages, message flooding of GET messages is limited by maintaining a list of DHTs the GET has visited. Also, PUT messages include not only the storage location key in the home network but also a list of networks that the PUT has visited, in essence establishing a dynamically changing path within the PUT back to the home network.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2009Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Jining Tian, Jan Medved, Bruce Stuart Davie

Patent number: 8228822Abstract: In a tiered system of networks capable of processing distributed hash table (DHT) Put and Get messages, if a sending network of a Put or Get is at a tier below a subject tier at which a subject network receiving the message is located, the message is forwarded to networks at tiers below the subject tier. On the other hand, if the sending network is at a tier equal to or above the subject tier, the message is forwarded to all networks in the system other than the sending network.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2009Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Bruce Stuart Davie, Jining Tian, Jan Medved

Patent number: 7630298Abstract: A method of forwarding data in a data communications network having a plurality of nodes comprises the steps, performed at a repairing node, of computing the repair path around a network component to a target node and forwarding data along the repair path. The computing step comprises the step of computing an intermediate node reachable by the repairing node and from which the target node can be reached. The forwarding step includes the step of constructing a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) packet for forwarding to the intermediate node.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2004Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Ian Michael Charles Shand, Stewart Frederick Bryant, Anna Charny, Bruce Stuart Davie, George Swallow

Patent number: 7378337Abstract: Terminating the ends of passive electronic components entails applying a laser-removable coating to one or both of the opposed major surfaces of a substrate. A UV laser beam having a spot size and an energy distribution sufficient to remove the laser-removable coating from multiple selected regions of at least one of the major surfaces to which the laser-removable coating was applied is directed for incidence on the substrate. Relative motion between the UV laser beam and substrate effects removal of sufficient amounts of laser-removable coating to expose the multiple selected regions. The substrate is then broken into multiple rowbars or individual components, each of which includes side margins. An electrically conductive material is applied to the side margins to form electrically conductive interconnects between portions of the side margins spatially aligned with the multiple selected regions.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2006Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: Electro Scientific Industries, Inc.Inventors: Edward J. Swenson, Douglas J. Garcia, Bruce Stuart Goldwater

Patent number: 7053011Abstract: Terminating the ends of passive electronic components entails applying a laser-ablative coating to each of the opposed major surfaces of a substrate. A UV laser beam having a spot size and an energy distribution sufficient to remove the laser-ablative coating from multiple selected regions of the major surfaces is directed for incidence on the substrate. Relative motion between the UV laser beam and substrate effects removal of sufficient amounts of laser-ablative coating to expose the multiple selected regions of the opposed major surfaces. The substrate is then broken into multiple rowbars, each of which includes side margins along which are positioned different spatially aligned pairs of the selected regions of the opposed major surfaces. An electrically conductive material is applied to the side margins to form electrically conductive interconnects between each spatially aligned pair of the selected regions.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2004Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Electro Scientific Industries, Inc.Inventors: Edward J. Swenson, Douglas J. Garcia, Bruce Stuart Goldwater

Patent number: 6930416Abstract: A compliant stator motor is disclosed. In one implementation, the motor (200) includes a rotor (210), a stator (220) having main and auxiliary windings, an outer motor case (230), and a group of isolators (240) positioned between the stator (220) and outer motor case (230) to enhance forces applied to the foundation (260) due to excitation of the auxiliary windings. In another implementation, the motor (300) includes a rotor (310), a stator (320) including main and auxiliary windings, linear bearings (320) configured to constrain a motion of the stator (320) to an axial direction, and isolators (330) connected to the stator (320) and configured to enhance axial forces applied to the foundation due to excitation of the auxiliary windings.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2002Date of Patent: August 16, 2005Assignee: BBNT Solutions LLCInventors: Paul J. Remington, Ronald Coleman, Bruce Stuart Murray

Patent number: 6880408Abstract: A mechanical amplifier includes first and second amplifier mounting pads (110, 120) and first and second sensor mounting pads (130, 140). At least one of the first and second amplifier mounting pads (110, 120) receives a load or displacement. The first and second sensor mounting pads (130, 140) connect to the first and second amplifier mounting pads (130, 140) via flexible connecting members. A sensor (150) may connect to the first and second sensor mounting pads to measure the amount of load or displacement.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2003Date of Patent: April 19, 2005Assignee: BBNT Solutions LLCInventors: Richard Madden, Bruce Stuart Murray

Patent number: 6681323Abstract: A method for automatically installing an initial software configuration on at least one target computer in an installation system. The at least one target computer is booted from a boot storage medium. Identification data associated with the hardware configuration of the target computer is automatically retrieved from the memory of the at least one target computer. Data representative of software component modules is automatically transferred from a library of software component modules stored on a library storage medium to the memory of the target computer based on the retrieved identification data associated with the hardware configuration of the target computer. The transferred software component modules are automatically installed onto the memory of the target computer.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1999Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Robert Fontanesi, Heather Howard, Bruce Stuart
