Patent number: 9007913Abstract: Methods and apparatus for dynamically configuring a parent circuit through a subscriber record on an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server responsive to an authorization event for the subscriber session on the network element. According to one embodiment of the invention, the AAA server accesses the subscriber record for a subscriber session on the network element. Based on this subscriber record, a set of one or more attributes for a subscriber circuit and a set of one or more attributes for a parent circuit of the subscriber circuit are determined. The network element applies the set of subscriber circuit attributes to the subscriber circuit and the set of parent circuit attributes to the parent circuit.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2014Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Sudhagar Chinnaswamy, Timothy J. Lynch, Lars A. Martin, Sudhakar Chunduru, Samvid S. Shah, Sunny Y. Wang, Srikanth Chavali

Patent number: 8535294Abstract: The present invention is a carotid sheath that has a proximal portion that is stiffer than the distal portion of the sheath as a result of the proximal portion having a higher durometer of the outer plastic coating of the sheath's proximal portion with a lower durometer for the plastic coating on the more flexible distal portion of the sheath. Another means to increase the flexibility of the sheath's distal portion compared to a stiffer proximal portion is by having a slightly smaller outside diameter for the outer plastic coating of the distal portion of the sheath. A more flexible distal portion of the sheath allows easier access for angiography, angioplasty or stenting when the sheath is used to access the tortuous path encountered when entering the carotid arteries.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2011Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Fischell Innovations LLCInventors: Robert E. Fischell, Timothy J. Lynch, Tim A. Fischell

Patent number: 8332525Abstract: Service groups are dynamically created and members are dynamically assigned. A network element receives a request for a subscriber session and transmits an authentication request to a AAA server. The network element receives an authentication reply from the AAA server that includes dynamic service group configuration information that indicates that the subscriber session should be part of a service group and defines the criteria for the network element to dynamically create and join that subscriber session to a service group if an appropriate service group does not exist or dynamically join that subscriber session to an existing service group. The network element derives a dynamic service group identifier from attributes of the subscriber session based on instructions in the dynamic service group configuration information.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2010Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Timothy J. Lynch, Srikanth Chavali, Francois Lemarchand, Sudhakar Chunduru, Sunny Wang

Patent number: 7843967Abstract: Techniques for multiple protocol cross layer customized QoS propagation and mapping are described herein. In one embodiment of the invention, a first QoS code of a packet is determined, the packet having a first encapsulation layer and a second encapsulation layer, the first QoS code being included within the first encapsulation of the packet. From application of a first cross layer QoS map to the first QoS code, determining that the second encapsulation layer of the packet should be used in determining a QoS classification. The reference point to the second encapsulation layer is stored. The QoS classification is determined with use of the reference point. A representation of the QoS classification is stored in a QoS descriptor and the QoS descriptor is used to influence processing of the packet. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2007Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Pritam Baruah, Arun Sharma, Timothy J.

Publication number: 20090089774Abstract: A method and apparatus for a metadata-driven upgrade of a network element is described. A network element comprises an active and backup controller card and receives new software to be installed on that network element. In addition, the network element installs the software on the backup controller card and synchronizes the active state of the network element to the backup controller card. Furthermore, the network element uses metadata to translate the active state to the format used by the new software.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2008Publication date: April 2, 2009Inventors: Timothy J.
