Title: Priority based flow control in a distributed fabric protocol (DFP) switching network architecture
Inventor: KAMBLE KESHAV GOVIND
IPC: H04L45/42
Filed: 2012-04-12
Abstract: A switching network includes an upper tier and a lower tier including a plurality of lower tier entities. A master switch in the upper tier, which has a plurality of ports each coupled to a respective lower tier entity, implements on each of the ports a plurality of virtual ports each corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of remote physical interfaces (RPIs) at the lower tier entity coupled to that port. Data traffic communicated between the master switch and RPIs is queued within virtual ports that correspond to the RPIs on lower tier entities with which the data traffic is communicated. The master switch enforces priority-based flow control (PFC) on data traffic of a given virtual port by transmitting, to a lower tier entity on which a corresponding RPI resides, a PFC data frame specifying priorities for at least two different classes of data traffic communicated by the particular RPI.

Title: Electroluminescent device and manufacturing method thereof
Inventor: LEVERMORE PETER
IPC: H01L51/50
Filed: 2013-12-07
Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electroluminescent device including at least one curved region that is operable to emit light that has uniform luminance intensity. Layers of electrode material (104 and 110 see figure 1) and light-emitting material (106 see figure 1) are deposited to form a multi-layer structure, that can be partially spherical or spheroidal or saddle shaped. During deposition, one or more of the layers may be at least partially dried or cured before adding a subsequent layer. Once the multi-layer structure is formed, heat is applied to the multi-layer structure to soften one or more of its layers. Thereafter, a non-planar moulding surface is applied to the softened multi-layer structure to form at least one region with substantial two-dimensional curvature. The device may be an OLED, thick film electroluminescent device or a light emitting capacitor.
