Abstract: Techniques for configuring a packet session are disclosed. An example method includes receiving, at a network function, a packet from a virtual connection device. The method also includes identifying, by the network function, an action to perform on the packet and modifying the header based on the action to create a modified packet with a modified header. The method also includes copying the modified packet from the network function to the virtual connection device for the virtual connection device to perform the action on the modified packet based on the modified header. The method also includes configuring, by a processing device executing the network function, the virtual connection device to perform the action on subsequent packets of the packet session. The virtual connection device performs the action on the subsequent packets without copying the subsequent packets to the network function.

Abstract: An optical fiber phosphor screen including a thin film phosphor layer and an optical fiber faceplate, allowing interfering light in a cladding of the optical fibers to be reduced. The phosphor screen includes an angular filter including at least one layer arranged between the thin film phosphor layer and the optical fiber faceplate.

Abstract: A photo cathode for use in a vacuum tube including a cathode layer, having an entrance face capable of absorbing photons impinging on the cathode layer, and an exit face for releasing electrons upon impinging of the photons, and an electron exit layer, in facing relationship with the exit face of the cathode layer for improving the releasing of the electrons, and a carbon containing layer, positioned between the exit face of the cathode layer and the electron exit layer, for bonding the electron exit layer to the cathode layer.
