20120041595PISTOL-GRIP FOR INTUITIVE CONTROL OF A ROBOTIC OR VIRTUAL HAND - A pistol-grip controller for the control of a robotic or virtual hand has multiple dual-action switching mechanisms positioned to simulate intuitively the motion of grasping and releasing an object. An externally-projecting switch trigger of each switching mechanism is hook-shaped to facilitate the operator donning and doffing the controller. These switches move in response to gripping and releasing movements of the associated fingers so as to close or open peripherals (fingers) of the end effector hand. A rocker switch allows an operator to toggle conveniently between commonly used modes of a virtual or robot hand, or the like. The mode toggling is complemented by a control to adjust between the commonly used modes of operation. To make the manipulation of the end effector more intuitive, the controller remaps the switching mechanisms to different functionalities on the end effector based on the mode of operation. The transition between switch to end effector mappings is hysteretic. In addition, the pistol-grip controller can be attached to an appropriate “master” robot arm and can be moved as a whole to create like roll, pitch and yaw movements and x, y and z displacements of the end effector on the “slave” robot arm without the actuation of any of the switches.02-16-2012

20160043952MECHANISMS TO SUPPORT SERVICE CHAIN GRAPHS IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A novel scheme is defined for supporting service graphs to allow specific service functions to be applied to selected subsets of packet flows. According to one or more embodiments, a service graph is modeled as chains or sequences of “flow steering entities” and “service instances.” According to an embodiment, a flow steering entity (FSE) is configured to identify the flow, and select the next hop service instance in the chain. After a service instance returns the flow packet, the FSE steers the packet to the next FSE in the graph. An initial FSE is used to select matching traffic to enter the service graph. Wherever path forking and merging is required in the service graph, additional classifiers are positioned with the FSE to steer a subset of traffic along different paths of service function instances.02-11-2016

20140189093EFFICIENT INTERCEPT OF CONNECTION-BASED TRANSPORT LAYER CONNECTIONS - A TCP connection is established between a client and a server, such that packets communicated across the TCP connection pass through a proxy. Based at least in part on a result of monitoring packets flowing across the TCP connection, the proxy determines whether to split the TCP control loop into two TCP control loops so that packets can be inspected more thoroughly. If the TCP control loop is split, then a first TCP control loop manages flow between the client the proxy and a second TCP control loop manages flow between the proxy and the server. Due to the two control loops, packets can be held on the proxy long enough to be analyzed. In some circumstances, a decision is then made to stop inspecting. The two TCP control loops are merged into a single TCP control loop, and thereafter the proxy passes packets of the TCP connection through unmodified.07-03-2014

20150381478PROXY FOR PORT TO SERVICE INSTANCE MAPPING - A method for managing a chain of service appliances. A method for interoperating with a legacy service appliance which does not understand/interpret the service chain header format. The method specifies a proxy device which receives a data packet with chain header that contains a chain ID. The chain ID identifies a particular service chain of network services to be performed on the data packet by a plurality of service appliances. The method removes a chain header from the data packet. The method sends the data packet to the service appliance via a logical port that corresponds to the data packet's chain ID. The method includes receiving the data packet back from the service appliance via the logical port. Lastly, the method includes restoring the chain header in the data packet based upon the logical port through which the data packet is received.12-31-2015
20160028640Service Chain Header and Metadata Transport - Metadata may be embedded in a service chain header (SCH) appended to a packet that is forwarded over a service chain path. The metadata may include information that is used to process the packet at a downstream service function chain (SFC) entity on the service chain path. The metadata TLV field may identify a service action to be performed by a downstream SFC entity. For example, the metadata TLV field may instruct the downstream SFC entity to drop the packet, to redirect the packet (or a traffic flow associated with the packet), to mirror a traffic flow, to terminate a communication connection, to start or stop a packet accounting, and/or to apply a higher grade of service. In another embodiment, the metadata TLV field specifies an OAM service action list that identifies service actions that have been performed on the packet.01-28-2016
