Abstract: A switch architecture for a data-driven intelligent networking system is provided. The system can accommodate dynamic traffic with fast, effective congestion control. The system can maintain state information of individual packet flows, which can be set up or released dynamically based on injected data. Each flow can be provided with a flow-specific input queue upon arriving at a switch. Packets of a respective flow are acknowledged after reaching the egress point of the network, and the acknowledgement packets are sent back to the ingress point of the flow along the same data path. As a result, each switch can obtain state information of each flow and perform flow control on a per-flow basis.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a display, a memory, and a processor. The memory stores events and available conversion options for a policy. The events include a conversion expiration event occurring on a conversion expiration date. Each conversion option is associated with a new policy type into which the policy is convertible prior to occurrence of the conversion expiration event. The processor presents a first page of a GUI, displaying a timeline of the events. The first page also displays a feature selectable to investigate the available conversion options. In response to receiving information associated with a selection of the feature, the processor presents a second page of the GUI, displaying the conversion options. The processor receives information associated with a selection of a first conversion option, and, in response, displays a graph illustrating the behavior of the policy upon conversion to the new policy type associated with the first conversion option.

Abstract: A replaceable subsea filter uses a hot-stab style connection. The filter has a flow path located along a central axis. At a distal end of the of the filter, the flow path locates inside a subsea receptable, typically associated with a reservoir or sea chest for a hydraulic actuator. At a proximal end, the flow path opens into an annulus around the stab-connecter, the annulus being separated from the surrounding waters by annular filters.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide improved physical space planning and development. One or more network devices obtain a business profile of a workgroup using an activity-based workspace and determine space requirements for the business profile. The network devices store component parameters for design components that can potentially be deployed to the activity-based workspace and solicit, via a graphical user interface, a workspace layout for the activity-based workspace. The soliciting includes providing a list of the design components that can be selectively placed within the workspace layout.
