Title: Managing a stack of identifiers of free blocks in a storage pool using a hash based linked list
Inventor: MORGENSTERN HARRIS M
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2013-01-10
Abstract: A pool of free storage blocks is managed using a stack of storage block identifiers. When a new block is needed, an identifier is popped from the top of the stack. When a block is freed, the identifier is pushed back onto the stack. Associated with the stack is a hash table, containing pointers to the first stack entry, which match the corresponding hash value. Associated with each identifier in the stack is a pointer to the next entry, which matches the hash value, forming a linked list. When an identifier is popped from the stack, the pointers are not changed. When a value is pushed onto the stack, the list is searched to determine if there is a duplicate identifier. If not the end of the list is identified as one of a null pointer, a pointer to an entry beyond the top of the stack or a pointer to an identifier, which maps to a different hash value.

Title: Isotopic Pattern Recognition
Inventor: PFAFF HANS
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2013-06-07
Abstract: A method to determine a measure of abundance for an element or element combination within a sample comprises identifying a theoretical isotopic mass spectral pattern for the element or element combination, and comparing the isotopic mass spectral pattern with mass spectral data from a molecular mass analysis of the sample. A plurality of peak groups of the data matching the isotopic mass spectral pattern is identified. The matching may be carried out by comparing the mass-to-charge ratios differences and/or the relative intensity of peaks. The measure of abundance is determined as a function of the intensity measurement of one or more peaks from each of the identified peak groups e.g. by summing the intensity measurement of the peaks. The method may be used to identify all substances that contain a certain element or element combination without needing to know the complete elemental composition across multiple molecules present in the same sample.

Title: Flexible and scalable enhanced transmission selection method for network fabrics
Inventor: BASSO CLAUDE
IPC: H04L45/50
Filed: 2012-12-13
Abstract: IEEE 802.1Q and Enhanced Transmission Selection provide only eight different traffic classes that may be used to control bandwidth in a particular physical connection (or link). Instead of relying only on these eight traffic classes to manage bandwidth, the embodiments discussed herein disclose using an Enhanced Transmission Selection scheduler that permits a network device to set the bandwidth for an individual virtual LAN. Allocating bandwidth in a port based on a virtual LAN ID permits a network device to allocate bandwidth to, e.g., millions of unique virtual LANs. Thus, this technique may increase the granular control of the network fabric and its performance.
