Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for applying a patch or a change to a set of binary modules executing on and used by resources of a computing cluster while reducing the downtime of those resources. According to one embodiment, applying a patch to a plurality of binary modules on a computing cluster can comprise identifying resources on one or more of a plurality of nodes of the cluster. Additionally, each of the plurality of binary modules on one or more of the nodes of the cluster can be identified. A graph can be generated logically representing the cluster. Groups within the binary modules and resources can be identified based on the graph. Patches can be applied to the binary modules based on the identified groups. Patching binary modules based on the identified groups can comprise patching all of the binary modules of an identified group together.

Abstract: A computer (“patch analysis computer”) retrieves from a website, metadata describing one or more patch files to be used to change software in one or more computers (“target computers”). Prior to installation of the patch files in a target computer, the patch analysis computer performs analysis on the patch files and on the target computer and on application of the patch files to the target computer. The analysis is based on the retrieved metadata and based on configuration data of the target computer. Subsequent to performing the analysis, the management computer displays a report resulting from the analysis including one or more operations to fix issues found during analysis, and receives input from a human on specific patch files and operations. In response to receipt of human input, the patch analysis computer performs operations approved by the human and applies the patch files to the target computer.

Abstract: Solutions are provided that allow a network device to apply flow control on the MAC layer while taking into account the priority of the frame of traffic. This may be accomplished by generating a frame indicating that traffic flow should be paused, while utilizing a new opcode value, or alternatively by utilizing a new type/length value (possibly combined with a new opcode value). A receiving device may then examine the fields of the frame to determine whether it should use priority-based pausing, and then examine other fields to determine which priority-levels to pause and for how long. This allows for improved efficiency in flow control on the MAC layer.

Abstract: Two or more transceiver units can interact with each other via millimeter wave radio frequency signals. One of the transceiver units can detect time-varying signals having specific waveforms in order to initiate an action such as establishment of a communication link, powering a piece of equipment and the like. The time-varying signal can be generated by a user moving one of the transceiver units and/or by passing an non-transmissive obstruction in between the transceiver units. Related apparatus, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A combined matching and harmonic rejection circuit with increased harmonic rejection provided by a split resonance for one or more of the capacitive or inductive elements of the circuit. At a fundamental frequency, the circuit comprises an inductive series arm with capacitive shunt arms. The capacitance of a shunt arm may be provided by two or more parallel paths, each having a capacitor and an inductor in series so that, in addition to providing the effective capacitance necessary for impedance matching at the fundamental frequency, two separate harmonics represented by the series resonances of the parallel paths are rejected. In this manner, an extra null in the circuit's stop-band may be achieved using the same number of shunt elements necessary to achieve impedance matching at the fundamental frequency.

Abstract: A low-cost and power-efficient communication system using digital frequency centering techniques suitable for millimeter-wave wide-bandwidth bands with mostly digital components. Significant circuitry in the frequency source can be switched-off, thus conserving power. With the use of non-coherent detection, power consumption can be further reduced as higher phase noise and lower frequency accuracy can be tolerated. In the first embodiment frequency centering is achieved with a multiple-state system which compares a frequency dependent unique state to a programmed or hardwired desired state. In an alternative embodiment this multiple-state system is implemented by means of a microcontroller through either software or hardware.

Abstract: A routing system utilizes a layer 2 switch interconnecting several routers to intelligently forward multicast packets throughout an internet exchange carrying multicast content. The layer 2 switch performs protocol snooping to extract a lookup key that is based on network layer protocol information. The lookup key is uniquely formulated to support either shared or explicit source distribution trees. The lookup key is used to query a forwarding memory that returns an outgoing port index. The outgoing port index points to one or more outgoing ports that are eligible to receive the multicast packet. The outgoing ports are also connected to the neighboring device(s) that are designated to receive the multicast packet. The routing system also supports real time maintenance and updating of the forwarding memory based on the periodic exchange of control messages. The routing system is configured to support PIM routers operating in PIM SM or PIM SSM modes.

Abstract: A compact millimeter-wave transmitter and receiver make use of interconnections within a chip-containing package for providing an integrated antenna. Due to shorter wavelength of millimeter-waves, these interconnections can be used as antennas for radiation of electromagnetic waves. A dielectric cover or lens is provided within the package to increase the antenna's directivity and to provide a mechanical shield for the chip.
