Title: Method and apparatus for implementing and managing virtual switches
Inventor: CASADO MARTIN
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 2010-04-01
Abstract: In general, the present invention relates to a virtual platform in which one or more distributed virtual switches can be created for use in virtual networking.    According to some aspects, the distributed virtual switch according to the invention provides the ability for virtual and physical machines to more readily, securely, and efficiently communicate with each other even if they are not located on the same physical host and/or in the same subnet or VLAN. According other aspects, the distributed virtual switches of the invention can support integration with traditional IP networks and support sophisticated IP technologies including NAT functionality, stateful firewalling, and notifying the IP network of workload migration. According to further aspects, the virtual platform of the invention creates one or more distributed virtual switches which may be allocated to a tenant, application, or other entity requiring isolation and/or independent configuration state. According to still further aspects, the virtual platform of the invention manages and/or uses VLAN or tunnels (e.g, GRE) to create a distributed virtual switch for a network while working with existing switches and routers in the network.  The present invention finds utility in both enterprise networks, datacenters and other facilities.

Title: Seat back headrest
Inventor: MAASSARANI SAMI
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 2011-11-04
Abstract: A headrest includes at least one seat back mounting member and a connector coupling a cushion to the mounting member. Enlarged pads are disposed adjacent to the cushion connectors for engagement with a seat back to support the headrest on the seat back in conjunction with the seat mounting members. A hinge may be coupled to the connector to movably deploy a cushion between a first use position for supporting a portion of a user's head and second substantially vertically extending non-use position. Alternately, the headrest may be mounted in the conventional seat headrest top edge bores. Further, the headrest may have a shape complimentary to the shape of the outer edge of a seat head restraint.  The headrest can be pivotally coupled to the head restraint for movement from a nonuse position overlaying the outer edge of the head restraint to one or more use positions angularly disposed in a forward facing direction relative to the front face of the head restraint. Alternately, a cushion is pivotally mounted at opposite ends to a child car or booster seat so as to overlay an upper edge of the car seat when in a non-use position, but is pivotal to a forward facing use position encircling a seat user's head.
Patent CA-2757687-A1 (CA)
Title: Snowshoe with forward frame support
Inventor: GRANDE DODD
IPC: A63C13/00
Filed: 2011-11-09
Abstract: A snowshoe with binding suspended by tension straps secured to a frame is assembled from a generally U-shaped nose, and an aft section which can be a midsection and a tail. In one embodiment the nose has sufficient strength to resist inward pulling under tension to suspend the binding resiliently, without significant strength contribution from aft portions of the frame. The aft portion of the snowshoe includes traction elements, i.e. rows of teeth, positioned to engage into snow and ice. An important aspect of the invention is that the nose and aft sections are non-integral and very dissimilar in cross section, in a suspended-binding snowshoe.
