  • Patent number: 11502952
    Abstract: Devices and techniques for reorder resilient transport are described herein. A device may store data packets in sequential positions of a flow queue in an order in which the data packets were received. The device may retrieve a first data packet from a first sequential position and a second data packet from a second sequential position that is next in sequence to the first sequential position in the flow queue. The device may store the first data packet and the second data packet in a buffer and refrain from providing the first data packet and the second data packet to upper layer circuitry if the packet order information for the first data packet and the second data packet indicate that the first data packet and the second data packet were received out of order. Other embodiments are also described.

  • Patent number: 11416466
    Abstract: Disclosed are system and methods for processing and storing data files, using a data edge file format. The data edge file separates information about what symbols are in a data file and information about the corresponding location of those symbols in the data file. The described technique for converting a source file comprising symbols into a data edge file includes: generating a locality file of symbol location from the source file to identify locations of the symbols in the source file, generating a symbol file to identify symbols in the source file, and then modifying the locality file of symbol location to associate each symbol from the symbol file with a location in the source file.

  • Patent number: 9503347
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed for determining or using server transaction latency information. In some examples, a network input/output device coupled to a server may be capable of time stamping information related to ingress request and egress response packets for a transaction. For these examples, elements of the server may be capable of determining transaction latency values based on the time stamped information. The determined transaction latency values may be used to monitor or manage operating characteristics of the server to include an amount of power provided to the server or an ability of the server to support one or more virtual servers. Other examples are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 7606623
    Abstract: Devices and methods were discovered that successfully provided patient autonomous control of both hyolaryngeal elevation, anterior hyoid motion and opening of the upper esophageal sphincter for swallowing by intramuscular stimulation of two muscles. The technology allows patient self stimulation of swallowing and can return oral feeding to dysphagia patients. Indwelling electrode stimulation of only two muscles generated as much as 80 % of normal synergistic movement leading to swallowing. The devices and methods also are useful for control of other upper respiratory muscle groups involved in speech and voice. Calibration techniques may be used in combination for greater freedom in setting and using electrodes over extended implantation time periods. These methods and devices can control complex movements of body solids such as bone and cartilage and tissues by electro stimulation of a minimum set of muscles simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20070217409
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to tag network transactions. A virtual queue stores packets received from and transmitted to a network interface card (NIC). A global session manager manages packet communication with a capability operating system (COS). A global virtual machine (VM) database stores global session identifiers (SIDs) of the packets and associated metadata. The global SIDs are used by the global session manager to track network sessions. The metadata describe characteristics of session connections. A VM tunnel connection encapsulates the packets passing to and from the COS.

  • Patent number: 7227804
    Abstract: A memory device (200) can include a memory cell block (202), a standby current source (206), an active current source (208), and a clamping device (212). In a standby mode, a standby current source (206) can provide constant standby current ISTBY to memory cell block (202) via block supply node (204). In an active mode, active current source (208) can provide current to accommodate current necessary for active operations (e.g., accessing the memory cell block). A clamping circuit (212) can provide additional current in the event a block supply node (204) potential VCCX collapses due to the presence of micro-defects. In addition, compensation for process variation can be achieved by a self regulating well (454) to source (404) back bias that can modulate the threshold voltage of p-channel transistors of memory cells within the well (454), reducing overall leakage.
