Abstract: Methods, servers and systems for communicating signaling information in a telecommunications signaling network may involve using a topology tree categorizing network nodes into groups, receiving a first message encoding signaling information from a source, decoding the received first message into an internal representation of the message, determining if the internal representation identifies a destination component in the topology tree, performing application level routing operations by hierarchy to determine if information contained in the internal representation identifies a destination component in the topology tree, packaging the information contained in the internal representation into a second message encoding signaling information, and sending the second message encoding signaling information to the identified destination component.

Abstract: Methods, servers and systems for communicating signaling information in a telecommunications signaling network implement methods that include receiving a first message encoding signaling information from a source component and processing the message using a fixed pipeline having a plurality of modules, each module having at least one procedure for performing a specific set of tasks. Application level routing operations may be performed to identify a suitable destination component. Information contained in the first message may be used to generate a second message encoding signaling information, which is sent to the identified destination component.

Abstract: Methods, servers and systems for performing dynamic context based routing operations in a telecommunications signaling network in which a dynamic context based router may receive a first message encoding signaling information from a source component, decode the message into an internal representation, perform application level routing operations using contextual information derived from the internal representation to identify a destination component, encode signaling information contained in the internal representation into a second message, and send the second message to the identified destination component. Application level routing operations using contextual information may include generating keys based on the internal representation, transmitting the generated keys to an external resource, receiving supplementary information in response to the generated keys, and using the supplementary information to identify the destination component.

Abstract: The various embodiments include methods, servers and systems for communicating signaling information in a telecommunications signaling network that involves decoding a first portion of the received first message, determining if the decoded first portion identifies a destination component, determining if the destination component can be derived from the decoded first portion when the decoded first portion does not identify a destination component, recursively decoding subsequent portions of the received first message when previously decoded portions do not identify the destination component and that the destination component cannot be derived using the previously decoded portions, performing context-based routing operations using information extracted from the previously decoded portions to identify the destination component, packaging the previously decoded portions along with a remainder of the first message into a second message encoding signaling information, and sending the second message encoding signali

Abstract: Methods, servers and systems for communicating signaling information in a policy and charging control network within a telecommunications signaling network, may include receiving a message encoding signaling information in a dynamic context router operating at the application layer. The dynamic context router may determine whether the received message is to be replicated, and if so, the dynamic context router may identify a primary destination to which the received message is to be sent and secondary destinations to which replicated messages (“fork-routed messages”) are to be sent. The message may be replicated into multiple fork-routed messages, with the original message sent to the primary destination and the fork-routed messages sent to secondary destination components. The replicated fork-routed messages may be the same as or different from the received message, and may be sent using the same protocol or different protocols.

Abstract: Methods, servers and systems for communicating information in networks enable efficient expansion while maintaining high-availability. A first message associated with an entity may be received on a first server. An operation may be performed on certain information included in the first message associated with the entity to identify a first data repository in which information associated with the first message or the entity is to be stored. Information extracted from the first message may be stored in the identified first data repository. When a second message associated with the entity is received, the same operation may be performed on the same certain information included in the second message to identify the first data repository in which information associated with the first message or the entity is stored. The information related to the first message or the entity from the first data repository may then be used.

Abstract: A technique is disclosed for reprovisioning an interconnect fabric design for interconnecting a plurality of network nodes. A design for the interconnect fabric specifies an arrangement of elements of the fabric and flow requirements among the network nodes. The invention programmatically reprovisions the design. This may include determining whether the flow requirements are satisfied by the design and whether the design violates constraints on the elements, such as bandwidth capacity and number of available ports. If the design does not satisfy the flow requirements, then the design is modified until the flow requirements are satisfied. Modifications are performed systematically by first attempting those that are least disruptive to the design and, then, attempting modifications that are increasingly more disruptive. As a result, the design is efficiently and cost-effectively reprovisioned to meet the flow the requirements.

Abstract: A computerized method of populating a database composed of rows with applicability fields and parameter fields in a data structure, and of retrieving the data, such that the database may be used to yield relevant results with a minimum of data entries. In a first step, the method defines a hierarchy of applicability fields to suit a particular business model as well as the associated univocal retrieval process. In a second step, the method substitutes unknown applicability fields with a USUB. In a third step, the method prompts the input of appropriate parameter field values for the rows of applicability fields, including those having one or more USUBs. A retrieval method retrieves the data in the data structure. The invention thus enables the population and data retrieval from a database structure such that the database is useful to yield relevant results with a minimum of data entries.

The folded sheet is formed into a generally cylindrical configuration defining an axis. The troughs form an inner segmented cylinder, the ridges form an outer segmented cylinder generally concentric with the inner cylinder and the fins radiate generally outwardly from the axis. A thermally conductive core is provided within the inner segmented cylinder defined by the troughs of the cylindrically folded sheet to transfer the heat to be dissipated from the heat generating component to the heat exchanging section.
