Abstract: A switching module for establishing a controllable propagation path for a high-frequency modulated signal in response to a switching information comprises a controllable switch and a link-management unit. The controllable switch is adapted to couple a first port to one of a second port and a third port. The link-management unit is operable to generate a control signal for controlling the switch based on the switching information. The link-management unit has a detector unit adapted to receive the control signal with the high-frequency modulated signal and to generate a pulse for controlling the switch depending on the control signal.

Abstract: Gas distribution assemblies are described including a first plate and a second plate. The first plate may define a plurality of first apertures, and the second plate may define a plurality of second apertures in a first region of the second plate and a plurality of third apertures in a second region of the second plate. The second apertures may align with the first apertures. An area defined by the second region may be less than an area defined by the first region. The second plate may be sealingly coupled with the first plate to define a volume between the first plate and the second plate. The volume may be fluidly accessible from the third apertures, and fluidly isolated from the first and second apertures.

Abstract: Embodiments of present disclosure disclose a method for monitoring performance of applications for an entity. The method comprises retrieving performance information associated with an application from one or more sources. Then, performance of the application is analyzed using the retrieved performance information. Then, the method comprises identifying one or more entity variables affecting the performance of the application from the analyzed performance of the application. Then, at least one of trends of the performance of the application, deviations in the performance of the application, performance data related to the performance of the application and prediction data related to predicted performance of the application is determined based on the identification for monitoring the performance of the application for the entity.

Abstract: A method and system for tracking and managing network flows including receiving a first flow counter value for a flow of first flows and determining that the flow is an elephant flow. The method further includes obtaining flow egress port information by determining an egress port on a switch for each of the first flows, obtaining port congestion information for the switch, where the port congestion information includes port congestion data for each egress port, and selecting, based on the port congestion information and the flow egress port information, a new egress port for the flow, and sending a request to update a switch chip on the switch, where the request specifies that subsequently received packets for the flow are to be forwarded out of the new egress port.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a hammer bank for a line printer includes a back plate having a front surface, a back surface and a uniform thickness between the front and back surfaces. At least one hammer is disposed in front of the back plate. The at least one hammer is spring-biased for forward movement and away from the back plate and is releasably retained against such forward movement by a magnetic force acting rearwardly thereon. An elongated pole piece that is associated with the at least one hammer extends forwardly from the front surface of the back plate and is selectively operable to interrupt the magnetic force acting thereon.

Abstract: In one embodiment, in response to receiving a topology change notification at a network bridge having ports identified as either a network port or an edge port, address learning may be disabled on the network bridge. Once address learning is disabled, an association of all entries of a forwarding table of the network bridge having addresses previously forwarded on a particular network port of the network bridge may be changed to forward those addresses on all network ports of the network bridge (e.g., flooding the frames not addressed to edge ports on all network ports only). Subsequently, address learning may be enabled on the network bridge, thus repopulating the network port entries of the forwarding table in response to the topology change.
