Abstract: The capacitive shift-force sensor is made in the form of a deformable casing defined by two parallel rigid plates spaced from each other and interconnected by two deformable members. The sensor is provided with two capacitors, wherein one capacitor plate of each capacitor is rigidly connected to one rigid plate and the other capacitor plate is rigidly connected to the other rigid plate. In an unloaded state of the sensor, capacitor gaps of both capacitors are equal and the capacitors have the same capacitive characteristics. However, when one of the rigid plates is maintained immobile and the other one is shifter under the effect of an applied shift force, the capacitor gaps of the capacitors, and hence, the capacitive characteristics of the capacitors, change differently, and with the use of a differential amplifier this difference is measured and recalculated into the value of the applied shift force.

Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing private allocated networks in a virtual infrastructure are presented. One method operation creates virtual switches in one or more hosts in the virtual infrastructure. Each port in the virtual switches is associated with a private allocated network (PAN) from a group of possible PANs. In one embodiment, one or more PANs share the same physical media for data transmission. The intranet traffic within each PAN is not visible to nodes that are not connected to the each PAN. In another operation, the method defines addressing mode tables for the intranet traffic within each PAN. The entries in the addressing mode tables define addressing functions for routing the intranet traffic between the virtual switches, and different types of addressing functions are supported by the virtual switches.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that generates different network measurements data (e.g., network topology, bandwidth estimation of different paths, etc.) for a pair of endpoints upon receiving a network administrative request (e.g., an application programming interface (API) request) or by other means (e.g., automatically and without intervention of a user). In some embodiments, the method is implemented by a network measurement agent operating on each endpoint and a centralized service component (e.g., web service layer) executing on a network manager machine (e.g., a controller) that responds to measurement requests. The network measurement agent probes the network periodically (i.e., in certain time intervals) or upon an API request that it receives through the network manager machine to gather the measurement data of a particular network topology between a pair of endpoints.
