  • Publication number: 20130259046
    Abstract: A method, system and computer readable medium for remote mirroring are described. The method can include receiving a customer data frame and making two copies of the customer data frame. An outer header, such as a mac-in-mac header, can be added to each copy. The outer header of the first copy can be configured for normal processing, while the outer header of the second copy can be configured for remote mirroring. A switch can recognize the header configured for mirroring in the second copy based on a service identifier in the header and process the second copy for mirroring on one or more ports on one or more bridges.

  • Patent number: 8418303
    Abstract: A coverage robot includes a chassis, a drive system, and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes a housing and at least one driven cleaning roller including an elongated core with end mounting features defining a central longitudinal axis of rotation, multiple floor cleaning bristles extending radially outward from the core, and at least one compliant flap extending radially outward from the core to sweep a floor surface. The flap is configured to prevent errant filaments from spooling tightly about the core to aid subsequent removal of the filaments. In another aspect, a coverage robot includes a chassis, a drive system, a controller, and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes a housing and at least one driven cleaning roller. The coverage robot includes a roller cleaning tool carried by the chassis and configured to longitudinally traverse the roller to remove accumulated debris from the cleaning roller.

  • Publication number: 20100030196
    Abstract: A system includes (i) a medium having a solid support to which an antibody directed to target molecule is bound, (ii) a reservoir for containing the medium, (iii) a first catheter, and (iv) a second catheter. The first catheter has a proximal end portion, an opening for removal of cerebrospinal fluid from a subject, and a lumen extending from the proximal end portion to the opening. The first catheter is operably couplable to the reservoir such that fluid is capable of flowing from the lumen to the reservoir. The second catheter has a proximal end portion, a delivery region for returning cerebrospinal fluid to the subject, and a lumen extending from the proximal end portion to the delivery region. The second catheter is operably couplable to the reservoir such that fluid is capable of flowing from the reservoir to the lumen.

  • Publication number: 20080286330
    Abstract: Methods, agents and devices for treating a patient to reduce accumulation of certain proteins in the brain are described. Such proteins include A?, and the methods, agents and devices are useful for reducing the accumulation of A?, which is a principal constituent of the plaques associated with such diseases as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Antibodies to A?, when delivered systemically or directly into the central nervous system, improve cognitive deficits in a transgenic mouse model of AD. However, unlike peripheral of antibodies to A?, which increased cerebral vascular plaques and hemorrhages, direct central administration did not result in such an increase cerebral vascular plaques and hemorrhages.

  • Patent number: 7441298
    Abstract: An autonomous coverage robot includes a chassis, a drive system to maneuver the robot, an edge cleaning head carried, and a controller. The controller is configured to monitor motor current associated with the edge cleaning head and to reverse bias the edge cleaning head motor in response to an elevated motor current, while continuing to maneuver the robot across the floor. In another aspect, an autonomous coverage robot includes a drive system, a bump sensor, and a proximity sensor. The drive system is configured to reduce a speed setting in response to a signal from the proximity sensor indicating detection of a potential obstacle in a forward direction, while continuing to advance the robot according to a heading setting. Furthermore, the drive system is configured to alter the heading setting in response to a signal received from the bump sensor indicating contact with an obstacle.
