| 20150156194 | CERTIFICATE STATUS DELIVERY THROUGH A LOCAL ENDPOINT - Techniques are disclosed for locally distributing online certificate status protocol (OCSP) responses to a client computer. A certificate authority (CA) proactively sends OCSP responses to an agent application (e.g., an antivirus application configured to handle OCSP responses) residing in the client computer. The agent application stores the OCSP responses in a cache. Thereafter, when a browser application sends an OCSP request to the CA, the agent application intercepts the request and determines whether a corresponding OCSP response is locally cached. If so, the agent application sends the cached OCSP response to the browser application. If not, the agent application retrieves the corresponding OCSP response from the CA and sends the response to the browser application. | 2015-06-04 |

Commands, such as read or write requests to particular field device data, may be encapsulated within messages conforming to an object-oriented protocol, such as, for example, Common Industrial Protocol (CIP). Responses to the commands may also be encapsulated within CIP messages. The encapsulated commands and responses may be transmitted between various devices of an industrial network, including a controller and a gateway device, such as a multiplexer, of the industrial network. Encapsulating the commands and responses may provide a tunneling mechanism allowing a controller complete access to the data of the field devices in communication with the gateway device. | 2015-06-04 |
| 20150156286 | MESSAGE TUNNELING IN AN INDUSTRIAL NETWORK - A networking system is discussed. The system may be used for industrial networks where access to field device data is valuable. Commands, such as read or write requests to particular field device data, may be encapsulated within application layer protocol messages, such as MODBUS messages. Responses to the commands may also be encapsulated within MODBUS messages. The encapsulated commands and responses may be transmitted between various devices of an industrial network, including a controller and a gateway device, such as a multiplexer, of the industrial network. Encapsulating the commands and responses may provide a tunneling mechanism allowing a controller complete access to the data of the field devices in communication with the gateway device. | 2015-06-04 |
| 20150156287 | COMMUNICATION METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, PROGRAM, NODE, AND COMMUNICATION TERMINAL - A communication method for identifying a packet flow based on a predetermined rule and processing a packet belonging to the identified packet flow includes: determining an identifier for identifying a plurality of packet flows as a group; and adding the identifier to a packet belonging to the plurality of packet flows and setting in a second node a plurality of second rules for forwarding the packet to a first node in which a first rule for identifying the plurality of packet flows based on the identifier is set. The amount of information stored in a communication apparatus for processing packet flows is reduced. | 2015-06-04 |
| 20150156288 | PARSER FOR PARSING HEADER IN PACKET AND RELATED PACKET PROCESSING APPARATUS - A parser is used for parsing a header in a packet. The parser includes a plurality of horizontal field selectors, a plurality of comparators, and a content addressable memory (CAM) based device. Each of the horizontal field selectors is configured to select a first bit group. The comparators are coupled to the horizontal field selectors, respectively. Each of the comparators is configured to compare a first bit group selected by a corresponding horizontal field selector with a designated value to generate a comparison result. The CAM based device is configured to receive a plurality of comparison results generated from the comparators, and use the comparison results as a first input search data. | 2015-06-04 |

| 20150156290 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING AUTOMATICALLY EJECTABLE INPUT PEN - An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a input pen including at least one magnet, a housing including a pen guide path for inserting the input pen, at least one electromagnet installed around the pen guide path, wherein the at least one electromagnet is installed to react to the magnetism of the magnet while the input pen is completely inserted into the pen guide path, and at least one processor supplying power having the same polarity as the magnet to the electromagnet according to an automatic ejection event of the input pen to push the magnet out of the electronic device. | 2015-06-04 |
| 20150156291 | TOUCH SCREEN COVER - A touch screen cover for a hand-held wireless communication device having a touch-sensing user interface and a telephone operational mode, in which, during an incoming call, a swipe-sensing user control zone of the user interface is activated together with a call-information display. The touch screen cover includes a protective panel, that in a shielding configuration, overlays a majority of the touch-sensing user interface of the hand-held wireless communication device. The protective panel has a touch-communicating portion that overlays at least part of the swipe-sensing user control zone of the user interface of the hand-held wireless communication device in the shielding configuration, the touch-communicating portion configured to receive a swiping touch engagement on an exposed outer surface thereof and responsively impart a sweeping capacitance-induced user actuation of the swipe-sensing user control zone. | 2015-06-04 |
| 20150156292 | MEMORY SYSTEM FOR PORTABLE TELEPHONE - A memory system is constituted of a file storage flash memory storing a control program required for a control portion and a large amount of data, and a random access memory storing a program used by the control portion and functioning as a buffer memory for received data. Thus, a memory system for a portable telephone capable of storing a large amount of received data at high-speed and allowing reading of the stored data at high-speed is provided. | 2015-06-04 |
| 20150156293 | MOBILE TERMINAL - Disclosed is a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal of the present invention comprises: a front case having a keypad-accommodating portion; a rear case attachably/detachably coupled to a rear surface of the front case; an intermediate case which is interposed between the front case and the rear case and assembled to the front case and the rear case, and at one side of which a main PCB is assembled; a keypad having a plurality of key buttons and made of a flexible material, accommodated in the keypad-accommodating portion of the front case; and a touch screen arranged on the front case in the vicinity of the keypad.
