20130322457 | MULTI-HOMING IN AN EXTENDED BRIDGE - Disclosed are various embodiments for multi-homing in an extended bridge, including both multi-homing of port extenders and multi-homing of end stations. In various embodiments, a controlling bridge device receives a packet via an ingress virtual port and determines a destination virtual port link aggregation group based at least in part on a destination media access control (MAC) address of an end station in the packet. The controlling bridge device selects one of multiple egress virtual ports of the destination virtual port link aggregation group. The end station of the extended bridge is reachable through any of the egress virtual ports of the destination virtual port link aggregation group. The controlling bridge device forwards the packet through the selected egress virtual port, and the forwarded packet includes an identifier of a destination virtual port to which the end station is connected. | 12-05-2013 |
20140310362 | Congestion Management in Overlay Networks - A system forwards congestion management messages to a source host updating the source address in the management message. The system may determine that the congestion management message was triggered responsive to an initial communication that was previously forwarded by the system. The system may use header translation within a single addressing scheme and/or may translate the congestion management message into a different type to support forwarding to the source of the initial communication. The system may use portions of the payload of the congestion management message to determine the source of the initial communication and to derive a different header for the translated congestion management message. | 10-16-2014 |
20150063367 | PROVIDING OVERSUBSCRIPTION OF PIPELINE BANDWIDTH - A system for providing oversubscription of pipeline bandwidth comprises a steer module, an absorption buffer, an ingress packet processor (IPP), a memory management unit (MMU), and a main packet buffer. The steer module receives packets that include start of packet (SOP), middle of packet (MOP), and end of packet (EOP) cells, attaches a packet identifier to the cells, passes the MOP and EOP cells to the MMU, and stores the SOP cells and EOP metadata in the absorption buffer. The IPP processes the SOP cells and EOP metadata and passes the same to the MMU. The MMU stores the MOP, EOP, and processed SOP cells in the main packet buffer, combines, upon receiving the processed EOP metadata of each packet, the processed SOP cell, the MOP cells and the EOP cell of each packet to reconstruct each packet, and queues each reconstructed packet in an egress port queue. | 03-05-2015 |
20150078200 | Adaptive Industrial Network - An environment, such as an industrial environment, may include a control network with multiple network devices. A network device in the control network may have groups of communication ports servicing upstream and/or downstream network traffic. The group of communication ports may have, for example, two communication ports. Transmission parameters of the communication ports may be dynamically configured based on a first network port configuration and a second network port configuration for the first and second communication ports, respectively. The first network port configuration may have different transmission parameters than the second network port configuration. The first network port may forward data packets over the control network according to the first network port configuration, while the second network port may forward data packets to the next hop device utilizing the second network port configuration. | 03-19-2015 |
20150081887 | Adaptive Industrial Ethernet - A system may include equipment divided into control groups. Each control group may be assigned a supervisor node. A server computer may communicate with the equipment in a control group via the supervisor node associated with that control group. The server computer may store a profile of the equipment. The profile may contain physical locations of the equipment, settings of the equipment, components of the control groups, and the association of supervisor nodes with the control groups. A display unit may display the profile of the plurality of the equipment as an overlay of the physical locations of the plurality of equipment on a map. | 03-19-2015 |

20110059904 | SERUM-BASED, DIAGNOSTIC, BIOLOGICAL ASSAY TO PREDICT PREGNANCY DISORDERS - The invention provides serum-based, diagnostic, biological assays for predicting disorders of pregnancy resulting from poor trophoblast and/or placental ischemia, including preeclampsia. Serum samples from such subjects exhibit an ability to disrupt the architecture involving fetal trophoblasts and maternal endothelial cells in a three-dimensional, dual cell co-culture system provided herein, in contrast to normal pregnancy serum samples. Based on these distinctions, the assays are employed to predict pregnancy outcomes as early as first trimester. | 03-10-2011 |

20090156175 | Single Voicemail For Dual-Mode Phones - Single voicemail for dual-mode phones. Functionality is added to a dual-mode phone such that the dual-mode phone when operating in cellular mode sends a predetermined signal when it answers an incoming call. An enterprise mobility controller, on forwarding a call to the cellular side of a dual-mode phone after failing to complete a Wi-Fi connection, starts a timer. If the mobility controller does not receive the predetermined signal before the timer expires, it assumes that the cellular call has been handed off to the cellular voicemail system, terminates the cellular call, and sends the call to the enterprise voicemail system. | 06-18-2009 |
20110164516 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION ACCESS, MULTIMEDIA CONTENT ACCESS, AND PHONE CONNECTIVITY - The present invention is a method and system for providing information access, multimedia content access, and phone connectivity. The present invention includes a multimedia wireless network having a plurality of nodes and a plurality of media boxes. The nodes are mobile and can have a renewable energy unit. One or more of the nodes can be a gateway node to provide information, multimedia content, and phone connectivity from an external electronic device outside the multimedia wireless network to the multimedia wireless network.
