Title: Scalable access to data in an arbitrarily large document
Inventor: SEDLAR ERIC
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2003-11-06
Granted: 2009-06-16
Abstract: Techniques for accessing data that resides in a document on a computer-readable medium by a device with device resources of limited resource amount include determining usage for each portion of the document that consumes the device resources of a plurality of portions of the document. Each portion may be accessed independently of a different portion of the document. Based on the usage, a particular portion of the document is selected to cease consuming the device resources. The device resources consumed by the particular portion are released. The techniques allow a document-processing device with limited resources to scale up to process a large document that would otherwise exceed the available resources. This capability is an advantage when first inserting a large XML document, which cannot be fully manifested in available memory, as multiple loadable units into a database or other persistent store.

Filed: 2004-12-03
Granted: 2011-03-15
Abstract: A requesting handset in a wireless communication network sends a call message requesting a push-to-talk connection with a target handset. In response, a push-to-talk server sends a connection status message to the requesting handset. The connection status message is sent to the requesting handset in a control channel such as the forward common control channel. The requesting handset indicates to the caller that the connection has been made with the target handset, turns on the audio channel, and buffers any audio received from the caller until the traffic channel has been established. Once the traffic channel is established, any buffered audio is sent over the traffic channel and the push-to-talk call ensues.

Filed: 2006-11-08
Granted: 2015-12-29
Abstract: A method or corresponding apparatus in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention monitors an operational status of network links and retrieves or receives the operational status. The operational status is stored (e.g., within 50 msec) on an ongoing basis. The operational status corresponds to an operational LSP from among a primary LSP and secondary LSP(s) used to service traffic via the network links to maintain network connectivity via the LSPs. The secondary LSP(s) may be either a bypass LSP or a backup LSP, where each LSP is Fast Re-route (FRR) enabled. Further, correspondence between the primary LSP, secondary LSP(s), and the network links may be tracked. In order to deliver network traffic via the operational LSP known to service traffic between the source and destination, a link identifier may be used. The link identifier is determined from the source and destination information within the network traffic.
