Abstract: A virtual network device cluster includes several different virtual network device sub-units, which collectively operate as a single logical network device. The virtual network device cluster identifies the virtual network device sub-unit via which a given packet enters the virtual network device cluster. A packet is forwarded through the virtual network device cluster based on which virtual network device sub-unit has been identified for that packet. In one embodiment, a method involves receiving a packet via a first interface of a first one of several virtual network device sub-units of a virtual network device and associating the packet with the first one of the virtual network device sub-units. The method also involves inhibiting the packet from being sept via an interface of one of the virtual network device sub-units, in response to the packet being associated with the first one of the virtual network device sub-units

Title: Staggered array coupler
Inventor: KLIMEK DANIEL E
IPC: H01S5/00
Filed: 2005-04-11
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to staggered arrays of laser diode bars positioned on stepped support structures. Optical waveguides may direct the outputs of the individual diode bars to a desired location, for example, a common output plane. The optical waveguides may be glass plates in certain embodiments. Waste heat generated by the diode bars may be removed from the support structures at certain locations and as a result, the diode bars may be closely positioned with respect to each other. By closely positioning the laser diode bars and directing the diode bar outputs to a desired orientation, the effective brightness and fluence may be increased for a given output area and operational power compared to the prior art.  Associated methods of manufacturing staggered array couplers and producing high~power pump energy are also described.

Title: Mems device having deformable membrane characterized by mechanical persistence
Inventor: CHUI CLARENCE
IPC: G02B26/00
Filed: 2005-08-29
Abstract: An interferometric modulator is provided having a faster deformation time constant on actuation than relaxation time constant upon release from actuation. In some embodiments, apertures are formed in a mechanical membrane to decrease pressure, including liquid and/or gas pressures, on the membrane when actuated. In other embodiments, a dampening layer is disposed in close proximity above the membrane to apply greater downward pressure on the membrane and therefore slow the motion of the membrane when released from an actuated state. Other embodiments comprise structures, such as a heating element or vacuum device, to manipulate pressures above and/or below the mechanical membrane to affect the mechanical persistence of the display device.

Abstract: An adjustable schnable system in which the ride height of the transport object may be adjusted by the operator is disclosed and claimed. The adjustable schnable is comprised of a plurality of sections including front and rear portions having goosenecks and multiple axles therein. Vertical elevation of the goosenecks is controllable via hydraulic cylinders. Two pivotably adjustable arms are cooperatively engaged to both the front and rear goosenecks. Two v-type frames, having lateral beams, are pivotably mounted between and to each set of adjustable arms. The transport object, inserted between the two v-type frames, is held secure by compression forces. Raising the goosenecks causes the transport object to lift higher with respect to the adjustable schable system, rather than causing movement of the lateral beams of the vee-type frame in relation to the transport object. Control over the adjustable arms allows manipulation of the transport object ride height.

Abstract: Improved techniques are disclosed for providing network address translation (NAT) in a session initiation protocol (SIP) based application.  For example, a method for use in a router for performing NAT on a SIP message associated with a session being initiated between a first device and at least a second device, wherein the first device is part of a first network and the second device is part of a second network, includes the following steps. A SIP  message is obtained from the first device, wherein a header field of the SIP message includes a local address and local port number usable by the first device on the first network. A port number to be associated with the session being initiated is randomly selected. The randomly selected port number is usable on the second network. An association (e.g., a binding) is generated between the randomly selected port number and a global address usable on the second network, the local address and the local port number. The local address and the local port number are substituted in the header field of the SIP message with the global address and the randomly selected port number thereby generating an address--translated SIP message. The address-translated SIP message is sent to the second device on the second network. The randomly selected port number may serve as a unique identifier for the session being initiated.
