Publication number: 20130259046Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2012Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: AVAYA INC.Inventor: Deepak Ramesh

Publication number: 20080286330Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2008Publication date: November 20, 2008Applicant: MEDTRONIC, INC.Inventors: Lisa Lynn Shafer, Deepak Ramesh Thakker

Patent number: 7441298Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2006Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: iRobot CorporationInventors: Selma Svendsen, Daniel N.
