Title: A bounded index extensible hash-based ipv6 address lookup method
Inventor: BARACH DAVID R
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2004-05-13
Granted: 2011-05-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for efficiently looking up addressrouting information in an intermediate network node, such as a router.  To that end, the node locates routing information stored in its memory using one or more "lookup" tables (LUT) which can be searched using a small, bounded number of dependent lookups, thereby reducing the number of dependent lookups conventionally performed. The LUTs are arranged so each table provides routing information for network addresses whose subnet mask lengths are within a different range ("stride") of mask lengths. According to the technique, the node locates a network address's routing information by searching the LUTs, in order of decreasing prefix lengths, until the routing information is found.  Preferably, several tables are searched in parallel. A match in a LUT may further point to a small MTRIE that enables the final bits of a prefix to be matched. That final MTRIE is searched using a relatively small, bounded number of dependent lookups.

Title: Enhanced tamper evident bowl with blocked tab
Inventor: VOVAN TERRY
IPC: B65D85/72
Filed: 2006-10-23
Granted: 2012-02-07
Abstract: A container which includes a base (12) that can hold food and a lid (14) that closes on the base, which clearly indicates if the lid has been opened after a clerk loaded food into the base and closed the lid. The base and lid each have trapping portions (20, 22) and pull-open portions (24, 32) with a tear- tab, or tear-open barrier (80). To close the lid, a clerk projects a tab (30) on the pull-open portion of the lid through a slot (26) in the pull-open portion of the base, and then presses down the entire trapping portion of the lid into the trapping portion of the base. The lid cannot be lifted up because the tear- open barrier (80) forming the top wall of the slot lies over the tab. To open the container, a person must tear the barrier so he/she can pull up the tab 30 and open the lid. The fact that the barrier has been torn is obvious.
