Abstract: This invention proposes a new communication locality oriented high-radix (CLHR) network. In this hierarchical architecture, the lowest level includes routers or servers, called level-0; the upper level is composed by groups of routers or servers, called level-1; for the highest level, a number of level-(l?1) groups establish level-1 group. A new deadlock-free adaptive routing algorithm is proposed for the CLHR network. On the one hand, the proposed minus-first routing (MFR) algorithm or plus-first routing algorithm, that implements deadlock-free partially-adaptive routing without any virtual channel, can guarantee the number of communication hops between two nodes is no more than five. On the other hand, this invention presents the fully adaptive routing algorithm that uses MFR algorithm as the baseline routing using a new flow control scheme. The CLHR network and the new routing algorithm effectively improve the performance, save energy, improve the ability for separation, and resist disturbance.

Abstract: A process to protect secure communication sessions from a network device that may have been subjected to a malicious network attack or otherwise the source of malicious network traffic. A cellular-connected network device, such as an IoT gateway, may receive data from one or more IoT devices. The cellular-connected network device may also communicate with a datacenter via a communication tunnel. The network device may include a usage profile reference. The network device, before transmitting data received from the IoT devices, may transmit the usage profile reference to the datacenter for authentication purposes. The datacenter may use the usage profile reference to resolve a usage profile that the usage profile reference references. Using the usage profile, the datacenter may negotiate with the cellular-connected network device to restrict the types of data that is transmitted between the datacenter and the cellular-connected network device.

Abstract: Disclosed is an atomizer that comprises a transparent, elongated e-liquid cartridge enclosed in a transparent, elongated outer cylinder that creates a well-defined smoke-flowing interlayer or pathway that leads from an atomization tube mounted on the distal end of the outer cylinder to a cigarette holder disposed at its proximal end. The atomization tube contains a heating coil in a porcelain cup in contact with an e-liquid rope or wick extruding from an e-liquid guiding head that seals the e-liquid cartridge at its distal end. Mounted on the atomization tube are two conductive members that connect with the heating coil and with an appropriate battery assembly containing an air-flow sensor that provides an electric charge when a smoker inhales. A smoker's inhalation also creates negative pressure within the interlayer pathway and the cartridge causing e-liquid to permeate the wick for vaporization. The resulting vapor or smoke travels to the cigarette holder and smoker via the interlayer.

Abstract: A constant on-time controller, comprising a ripple generator, a comparing circuit and a logic control circuit, is provided. The ripple generator generates a ripple signal, which is injected into one of a voltage reference signal and a voltage detection signal to form a ripple modulated signal with ripple information. The comparing circuit compares the ripple modulated signal with the other of the voltage reference signal and the voltage detection signal and accordingly generates a comparison result signal. The logic control circuit generates a control signal with a fixed pulse width according to the comparison result signal. The ripple generator has a level modulation circuit for modulating an amplitude of the ripple modulated signal to make the amplitude within an preset range under different applications.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a network device attaches a header including an identifier for an original call to an outgoing refer message and may also modify a table entry for a consultative call to include the identifier. The network device then monitors incoming invite messages for a header containing the identifier and observes that an incoming invite message containing the header correlates to the original call. When a header is not included, the network device extracts information from the incoming invite messages and compares the extracted information to the modified table entry to correlate one of the incoming invite messages to the original call.

Abstract: A system and method to cancel a blindly-transferred call in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) includes receiving a call request from an endpoint and selecting a first call agent to handle the call request. A blind transfer of the call request is initiated to the first call agent. It is determined whether the first call agent is available to handle the call request. If the first call agent is not available to handle the call request, the blind transfer of the call request is canceled.
