Abstract: Some embodiments provide a network forwarding IC with packet processing pipelines, at least one of which includes a parser, a set of match-action stages, and a deparser. The parser is configured to receive a packet and generate a PHV including a first number of data containers storing data for the packet. A first match-action stage is configured to receive the PHV from the parser and expand the PHV to a second, larger number of data containers storing data for the packet. Each of a set of intermediate match-action stage is configured to receive the expanded PHV from a previous stage and provide the expanded PHV to a subsequent stage. A final match-action stage is configured to receive the expanded PHV and reduce the PHV to the first number of data containers. The deparser is configured to receive the reduced PHV from the final match-action stage and reconstruct the packet.

Abstract: The present invention provides for delivery of therapeutic drug in a polymeric delivery system comprising a PEG-bl-PPS di-block polymer formed in a micelle, filomicelle, or polymersome structure, wherein the structure effectively binds and/or interacts through shape-based targeting with a targeted cell type.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a network forwarding integrated circuit (IC) for processing network packets. The network forwarding IC includes multiple packet processing pipelines and a traffic management unit. Each pipeline is configured to operate as an ingress pipeline and an egress pipeline. The traffic management unit is configured to receive a packet processed by an ingress pipeline and to enqueue the packet for output to a particular egress pipeline. A set of packets received by the network forwarding IC are processed by a first pipeline as an ingress pipeline and a second pipeline as an egress pipeline, then subsequently processed by the second pipeline as an ingress pipeline and a third pipeline as an egress pipeline.

Abstract: A method of configuring a forwarding element that includes several data plane message processing stages. The method stores a set of action codes in an instruction memory in the data plane of the forwarding element. Each action code identifies an operation to perform on a field of a message received at the data plane. The method determines action codes required to process each field of the message in each message processing stage. The method configures a data-plane processing unit of the forwarding element to concurrently perform a group of the action codes in the same data plane processing stage when (i) the action codes are the same and (ii) operate on the same field of the message.

Abstract: A synchronous packet-processing pipeline whose data paths are populated with data-plane stateful processing units (DSPUs) is provided. A DSPU is a programmable processor whose operations are synchronous with the dataflow of the packet-processing pipeline. A DSPU performs every computation with fixed latency. Each DSPU is capable of maintaining a set of states and perform its computations based on its maintained set of states. The programming of a DSPU determines how and when the DSPU updates one of its maintained states. Such programming may configure the DSPU to update the state based on its received packet data, or to change the state regardless of the received packet data.

Abstract: The first embodiment of a handheld personal muscle massage device has an arm rest that reacts the compressive massage force against the forearm to allow higher massage forces than would otherwise be possible. Additionally, the roller is extended from the location of the hand to facilitate massage of areas of the lower leg without the person having to bend over to administer massage effort. The second embodiment has the same attributes as the first embodiment, with the added attribute of an adjustable angle between the two structural frameworks to allow massage access to body areas that are not accessible by the device of the first embodiment. Additionally, the device of the second embodiment folds into itself for compact storage.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving from a memory controller, a request to access memory stored at memory modules, the request directed to one of a plurality of logical ranks, mapping at a rank aggregator, the logical rank to one of a plurality of physical ranks at the memory modules, and forwarding the request to one of the memory modules according to the mapping. Two or more of the memory modules are combined to represent the number of logical ranks at the memory controller such that there is a one-to-one mapping between the logical ranks and the physical ranks. An apparatus for rank aggregation is also disclosed.
