  • Parallelization of inline tool chaining
    Patent number: 10547532
    Abstract: A method for parallel processing of ingress packets destined to a plurality of inline tools is provided. An ingress packet is processed to extract a plurality of packet header fields and to generate a packet identifier. A hash index is generated by hashing information associated with the plurality of packet header fields. A copy of the ingress packet and the packet identifier are stored in a hash table entry using the generated hash index. The ingress packet is simultaneously forwarded to each of the plurality of inline tool devices.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of making a cardiac valve
    Patent number: 7988900
    Abstract: There is provided an artificial cardiac or heart valve, more particularly a flexible leaflet heart valve used to replace natural aortic or pulmonary valves of the heart in which the leaflet geometry is defined by a parabolic function and a method of manufacturing said artificial cardiac valves. In addition, there is provided leaflets which have geometry defined by a parabolic function.
