Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing transactions on a bus. A software module can cause a trace packet to be generated and sent out on a bus to an invalid address. The trace packet triggers a protocol analyzer and permits the bus data flowing on the bus when the software module detected a problem to be analyzed. The trace packet causes the protocol analyzer to trigger even though the bus protocol is normal and the protocol analyzer would not otherwise trigger. The trace packet can be used to analyze and debug communications flowing on a bus when the software module detects a problem.

Abstract: A method for balancing the allocation of available display slots on a Web page among a plurality of different sources of display items comprises (a) defining for each source a set of candidate items to be displayed, (b) selecting items from a pool of all candidate sets, in a manner that normalizes the probability that the items of any one candidate set will be selected in relation to the items of the other candidate sets, and (c) inserting the selected items into the available display slots of the Web page.

Abstract: A protocol analyzer monitors a bus while a software module causes a trace packet to be generated and sent out on the bus to an invalid address. The trace packet triggers the protocol analyzer and permits the bus data flowing on the bus when the software module detected a problem to be analyzed. The trace packet causes the protocol analyzer to trigger even though the bus protocol is normal and the protocol analyzer would not otherwise trigger. The trace packet can be used to analyze and debug communications flowing on a bus when the software module detects a problem.

Abstract: A technique for cooperative distribution of video content is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for cooperative distribution of video content. The method may comprise providing a plurality of content servers at a plurality of network nodes, wherein each of the plurality of content servers holds a portion of a complete set of video content offered to a plurality of users. The method may also comprise receiving, at a first content server, a request for video content. The method may further comprise retrieving, from at least one second content server, the requested video content if the requested video content is not available at the first content server. The method may additionally comprise forwarding the requested video content to one or more users.

Abstract: Multiple simultaneous associations with Wireless Access Points (WAPs) may be formed by a given wireless client to enable handoffs between the WAPs to be accelerated and, optionally, to enable both WAPs to provide simultaneous wireless services to the wireless client. Upon forming a primary association with one WAP the wireless client scans for beacon signals from other WAPs. Upon detecting another WAP, the wireless client transmits a Request To Send (RTS) message to the new WAP indicating the identity of the primary WAP. The wireless client may also identify the new WAP to the primary WAP using a RTS message. The primary and secondary WAPs exchange information so that, in the event of a handoff, the required information has already been shared with the new WAP. Optionally, the several WAPs may provide simultaneous service to the wireless client.

Abstract: A business model is described in which one entity hosts, maintains, and provides a uniform interface for entering data into, a database of manufacturers product specification on behalf of a plurality of manufacturers. The entity then serves as an application service provider (ASP) with respect to that database, by allowing the manufacturers to access their respective product specification data in the database for any of a variety of uses outside of the database in exchange for some form of remuneration from those manufacturers.
