Abstract: A network device determines whether the network device has a local link for a link aggregation group (LAG), and identifies, when the network device has a local link for the LAG, the network device as a designated forwarder for the LAG. The network device also identifies, when the network device does not have a local link for the LAG, a closest network device to the network device, with a local link for the LAG, as the designated forwarder for the LAG.

Abstract: The system provides energy-efficiency of computing nodes in a cluster such that application level compatibility is maintained with legacy programs. This enables clusters to grow in computer capability while optimizing and managing expenses in energy usage, cooling infrastructure and real estate costs. The present technology may leverage existing purpose built parallel processing hardware, such as for example GPU hardware cards, with software to provide the functionality discussed herein. The present technology may create and add to an existing Hadoop cluster, or other distributed data processing framework, an augmented data node with enhanced compute per watt capability using off the shelf parallel processing hardware (e.g., GPU cards) while preserving the application level compatibility with the framework infrastructure.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for communicating automatic response messages based on a policy. In use, use of an automatic message generator utilized for automatically responding to receipt of a first message using a second message is identified. Additionally, it is determined whether a characteristic of at least one of the first message and the second message violates a predetermined policy. Furthermore, the second message is conditionally communicated based on the determination.

Abstract: A portable electronic device, a method and a non-transitory computer-readable media are provided for enabling a device to determine if it is lost or stolen. The device includes a processing unit and a memory, at least two sensors connected to the processing unit, a data acquisition module for polling at least one of the sensors and storing the related information that it polls in the memory, a pattern-seeking module for processing the information to determine a threshold, and a comparator for comparing the information to the threshold. When the device has reached the threshold, it changes to an active state where it can do various tasks.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for generating non-human transgenic cells and organisms that are transgenic at one or more gene sequences by separately recombining fragments of a complete gene in temporal sequence. According to the methods of the invention, a set of DNA constructs containing a non-endogenous DNA sequence flanked and/or operably linked at its ends by sequences from the non-human organism are generated by recombination in a bacterial cell, for example, in E. coli. The DNA constructs that are produced can then be introduced into a non-human homologous recombination competent cell where successive cells will contain recombined segments of a target gene, with the ultimate cell in a line containing an endogenous target gene completely replaced by genomic DNA of another species.

Abstract: An email generation method and system. The method comprises receiving and storing by a computing system, a first data object. The computing system comprises XML files. Each XML file comprises email templates. The computing system receives language identification data identifying a first XML file of the XML files. The first XML file comprises a first set of email templates. The computing system selects the first XML file in response to receiving the first language identification data. The computing system receives template identification data identifying a first email template of the first set of email templates. The computing system selects the first email template in response to receiving the template identification data. The computing system retrieves the first data object stored in the computing system. The computing system automatically generates a first email by incorporating first portions of the first data object into associated sections of the first email template.

Abstract: The method and apparatus for analysis of integrated circuits using static timing analysis. For a circuit being analyzed, the value of the state net for the case of an undriven sensitization is resolved to a Hi/Lo logic on the output net and the sensitization is added to the appropriate pull-up/pull-down function on the output net. Furthermore, in the sensitization generation, the “present” state logic function at the output net is determined by the “previous” state variable of the sequential state net and the “present” state variables of the rest of the inputs to the sequential circuit. The “next” state logic function at the output net is determined by the “present” state variable of the sequential state net and the “next” state variables of the rest of the inputs to the sequential circuit. This variable is resolved as a function of “previous” state net variable and “present” state input net variables.

Abstract: A machine-implemented, simulations-supporting system creates a hierarchy of data structures for simplifying the task of identifying iso-topological, and iso-geometric, and iso-static instances of subcircuit-definitions. The behaviors of such isomorphic and iso-static instances can be simultaneously predicted by appointing a simulation leader for them and using the simulation leader in combination with a respective simulation model to predict the behavior of the simulation leader. The predicted behavior of the leader is then copied for the followers. In one embodiment, state-describing S-circuit cards each point to a respective, and possibly merged, I-circuit card. The I-circuit cards each point to respective, and possibly merged, element instantiating cards (AG-cards) as well as to respective, and possibly merged, interconnect-topology describing cards (T-circuits).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improved formal equivalence checking to verify the operation of components in a VLSI integrated circuit. The present invention enhances previous techniques for dynamic circuits by generating a multi-level transistor abstraction for dynamic circuits. Two-levels of abstracted code are generated. First, an abstracted legal Verilog® is generated for the evaluate phase of a dynamic circuit. Second, “comment-logic” in Verilog® syntax is generated for the pre-charge phase of the dynamic circuit. Using the method and apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to obtain a multi-level transistor abstraction for both the “clk=0” and the “clk=1” conditions. The binary decision diagram property of the circuit being analyzed is used to generate multi-level representations for both the pre-charge (clk=0) and the evaluate phases (clk=1). The multi-level abstracted model of the present invention has several advantages over the prior art.
