20100042869 | UPGRADING NETWORK TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT DEVICES WHILE MAINTAINING AVAILABILITY - A method, system, machine-readable storage medium, and apparatus are directed towards upgrading a cluster by bifurcating the cluster into two virtual clusters, an “old” virtual cluster (old active cluster) and a “new” virtual cluster (new standby cluster), and iteratively upgrading members of the old cluster while moving them into the new cluster. While members are added to the new cluster, existing connections and new connections are seamlessly processed by the old cluster. Optionally, state mirroring occurs between the old cluster and the new cluster once the number of members of the old and new clusters are approximately equal. Once a threshold number of members have been transferred to the new cluster, control and processing may be taken over by the new cluster. Transfer of control from the old cluster to the new cluster may be performed by failing over connectivity from the old cluster to the new cluster. | 02-18-2010 |

20130219030 | IN SERVICE UPGRADES FOR A HYPERVISOR OR HARDWARE MANAGER HOSTING VIRTUAL TRAFFIC MANAGERS - Embodiments are directed towards upgrading hypervisors operating in hardware clusters that may be hosting one or more virtual clusters of virtual traffic managers. Virtual clusters may be arranged to span multiple computing devices in the hardware cluster. Spanning the virtual clusters across multiple hardware nodes the virtual cluster may enable the virtual clusters to remain operative while one or more hardware nodes may be upgraded. Hypervisor may include a management control plane for virtual clusters of virtual traffic managers. Hypervisors running on hardware nodes may manage the lower level networking traffic topology while the virtual traffic managers may manage the higher level network processing. Further, hypervisor based management control planes may interface with the virtual clusters and virtual traffic manager's using pluggable translation modules may enable different versions of hypervisor based management control planes and virtual traffic managers to communicate and cooperatively manage network traffic. | 08-22-2013 |

20090295294 | Vehicular Conspicuity Lamp with Rapidly Modulated Intensity - A method and apparatus is used to rapidly modulate the intensity of a vehicular lamp for the purpose of enhancing the vehicle's conspicuity. A timer is used to generate a periodically varying pulse width modulated signal that is used to drive a transistor connected to one or more lamps. The modulation rate is chosen such that the lamp or lamps appear to flicker when seen with peripheral vision, yet appears not to flicker when seen out of the center of the eye. | 12-03-2009 |

20120004386 | CONJUGATED THIOPHENES HAVING CONDUCTING PROPERTIES AND SYNTHESIS OF SAME - The present invention relates to conjugated oligomers and polymers comprising aromatic thiophene cores. The conjugated materials are obtained by simple and efficient condensation of an aryl diamine and an aryl dialdehyde or a bifunctional aryl moiety comprising both an aldehyde and an amine. Condensation of the complementary moieties at temperatures ranging from ambient to refluxing temperatures in various solvents resulted in conjugated oligomers and polymers that can subsequently be cast into thin films. Oligomerization and polymerization can be done under mild conditions with removal of the resulting water bi-product responsible for shifting the equilibrium in favour of the conjugated products. The resulting conjugated compounds can be made conducting with dopants affording electrically conducting materials of either p-type or n-type conductors depending on the dopant selected. | 01-05-2012 |
