Abstract: The present invention provides a bag made of a non-woven biodegradable material comprising a body portion having at least one side wall and a bottom joined together to define a storage space therebetween and an opening at the top of the body portion, wherein the bag is biodegradable and non-toxic to the environment

Abstract: A system and a method for transmitting packets of data with a network processor in a variety of formats are disclosed. A sub-processor processes a set of data for transmission by a transmit engine across a transmission medium. The transmit engine receives the data set from the sub-processor through a transmit memory buffer. Information about the data set is stored with control information in a random access memory. The transmission speed is adjustable by the sub-processor. A receive engine receives data packets from the transmission medium and stores the data packets in a receive memory buffer. The sub-processor dumps the data into a file, either on command of the user or as determined by a program run on the sub-processor. Statistical data about the transmission and reception are stored in a statistic data memory buffer.

Abstract: A system and a method for improving network processing efficiency are disclosed. A route table manager assigns a set of data to be transmitted and the accompanying route to a micro-engine and its program threads based on the current workload distribution. The workload distribution is determined by looking at the number of routes assigned to a program thread. The network processing efficiency is further improved by grouping timer values into subsets when stored in memory. A separate tracker thread tracks the countdown timer for each worker thread, the worker thread performing the actual network processing.
