  • Patent number: 11934340
    Abstract: In accordance with implementations of the subject matter described herein, there provides a solution for multi-path RDMA transmission. In the solution, at least one packet is generated based on an RDMA message to be transmitted from a first device to a second device. The first device has an RDMA connection with the second device via a plurality of paths. A first packet in the at least one packet includes a plurality of fields, which include information for transmitting the first packet over a first path of the plurality of paths. The at least one packet is transmitted to the second device over the plurality of paths via an RDMA protocol. The first packet is transmitted over the first path. The multi-path RDMA transmission solution according to the subject matter described herein can efficiently utilize rich network paths while maintaining a low memory footprint in a network interface card.

  • Patent number: 7875252
    Abstract: The invention relates to a light-pipe system for conducting/distributing light and air, which can also purify indoor air, particularly in a building, or the like. The light-pipe system includes a light-pipe for conducting light and having a clear top dome mounted at the top of the light-pipe to let in sunlight but keep out dust, rain and UV. An emitter fitted to the bottom of light-pipe improves the light distribution into the room, and a ventilation stack laid around the light-pipe coaxially/or non-coaxially, and a photocatalyst film (e.g. Nanometer TiO2) coated on the outer surface of the emitter for purifying indoor air under the illumination of light from light-pipe. The air and light are conducted separately along two different transport paths. The light-pipe system can provide illumination, ventilation and air purification simultaneously. The light source may be daylight, artificial light, light storage material or a mixture of them. Air can be moved naturally and/or is transported mechanically.
