  • Publication number: 20240081489
    Abstract: A band includes a latch body that is movable by pulling a tab. The latch body extends through an opening of the band and secures with a pin located on a head-mountable device. The band can detach from the head-mountable device by pulling the tab, which actuates the latch body and removes the latch body from the pin. A spring (or springs) can bias the latch body toward the opening, causing the latch body to enter the pin. An applied force to the tab can overcome the biasing force provided by the spring(s), and move the latch body away from, and out of, the pin.

  • Patent number: 8797874
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a network node coupled to an internal network comprising a plurality of internal nodes and configured to forward a packet designated to the internal network based on service reachability information that indicates at least one of the internal nodes for forwarding the packet to, wherein the service reachability information is sent and updated in a dynamic manner by the internal network. Also included is a network apparatus implemented method comprising receiving service reachability information from an internal network, maintaining the service reachability information in an interior Forwarding Information Base (iFIB), receiving a packet with a public destination address associated with the internal network; and forwarding the packet to appropriate locations in the internal network using the service reachability information in the iFIB.

  • Publication number: 20120209989
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a processor configured to migrate load from a source process running on the processor to a target process running on a peer processor in a dynamic manner by monitoring an amount of resources used by the source process, wherein the load is migrated when the amount of resources utilized by the source process exceeds a threshold. Also disclosed is a network component comprising a first processor configured to select a source process to migrate a load from the first processor based on available resources on the first processor and the source process; and a second processor configured upon receiving a migration request from the first processor to one of select and start a target process to which to migrate the load based on available resources for the second processor and the target process.
