  • Publication number: 20240007343
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for optimal placement of aggregator equipment in telecommunication networks. An embodiment operates by receiving, as an input, information corresponding to resource capacity of the one or more types of aggregator units and resource demands generated by a plurality of access nodes. The embodiment then calculates, based on the input, an optimized traffic aggregation configuration comprising an optimized group of one or more types of traffic aggregator units. Next, the embodiment modifies, based on the optimized traffic aggregation configuration, a network connectivity configuration corresponding to a plurality of network sites. Finally, the embodiment routes network traffic, via the optimized group of one or more types of traffic aggregator units, based on the modified network connectivity configuration.

  • Patent number: 11632289
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for optimal placement of aggregator equipment in telecommunication networks. An embodiment operates by determining an optimized traffic aggregation configuration based on execution of a network optimization function. The embodiment executes the network optimization function by receiving, as an input, information corresponding to resource capacity of the one or more types of aggregator units and resource demands generated by the plurality of access nodes, calculating an estimated number of each type of traffic aggregator unit of the one or more types of traffic aggregator units, and calculating the optimized traffic aggregation configuration.

  • Patent number: 10840322
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a substrate with a semiconductor surface layer including functional circuitry having a plurality of interconnected transistors including a dielectric layer thereon with a metal stack including a plurality of metal levels over the dielectric layer. A thin film resistor (TFR) layer including at least one metal is within the metal stack. At least one capacitor is within the metal stack including a capacitor dielectric layer over a metal bottom plate formed from one of the metal levels. The capacitor top plate is formed from the TFR layer on the capacitor dielectric layer and there is at least one resistor lateral to the capacitor formed from the same TFR layer.

  • Publication number: 20140101529
    Abstract: An engine (1601) for link building in order to improve the visibility of a website to search engines is disclosed. Back links are generated that represent links from other websites, such as directories, to the website under consideration. Prospect directories are identified by identifying volumes of candidate directories and initiating an iterative search of these candidate directories. Candidate directories are dismissed that are already under consideration. Candidate directories are rejected in response to preselected criteria which continues until a proposed list (1604) up to a predetermined lists size has been generated. It is a technical aid to assist with the manual building of quality links and not a tool for bulk link submission.
