| 7945656 | Method for determining round trip times for devices with ICMP echo disable A method and apparatus for determining reachability of a device connected to a computer network by receiving from a requesting device at least one ICMP echo request, the at least one ICMP echo request having a destination address associated with a non-echoing device... | 05/17/2011 |
| 7945621 | Methods and apparatuses for recording and viewing a collaboration session In one embodiment, the systems and methods attend a collaboration session; detect content shared during the collaboration session; automatically record the content and a time stamp corresponding to the content; and play at least a portion of the content during the c... | 05/17/2011 |
| 7945619 | Methods and apparatuses for reporting based on attention of a user during a collaboration session In one embodiment, the methods and apparatuses view content that corresponds with a particular time period during a collaboration session; identify a plurality of attendee devices participating in the collaboration session at the particular time period; determine an... | 05/17/2011 |
| 7944936 | Stream-oriented interconnect for networked computer storage An apparatus and method for connecting a plurality of computing devices, e.g. web servers, database servers, etc., to a plurality of storage devices, such as disks, disk arrays, tapes, etc., by using a stream-oriented (circuit oriented) switch that has high throughp... | 05/17/2011 |
| 7944303 | Super source follower output impedance enhancement A source follower circuit is disclosed with an added amplifier that extends the low input voltage linear range while providing a lower output impedance. The drain of the source follower MOSFET is coupled to a gain stage that drives a second MOSFET (or other type tra... | 05/17/2011 |
| 7535828 | Algorithm for backup PE selection A fast reroute (FRR) technique is implemented at the edge of a computer network. If an edge device detects a node or link failure that prevents it from communicating with a neighboring routing domain, the edge device reroutes at least some data packets addressed to ... | 05/19/2009 |
| 7535309 | Low power, temperature and frequency, tunable, on-chip clock generator A tunable, low power clock generator employs a voltage regulator, one or current generators and a variable resistor bank that, together, produce a control voltage for trimming a VCO. The control voltage is arranged to also compensate, at least, for the variables of ... | 05/19/2009 |
| 7479827 | Multi-mode power amplifier with high efficiency under backoff operation A multi-mode RF amplifier is disclosed having high and low output power modes and two power paths. A first RF amplifier delivers power to both paths. When the multi-mode RF amplifier is biased into the high power, HP, mode, substantial power is delivered via both (f... | 01/20/2009 |
| 7475098 | System and method for managing a plurality of snapshots A system and method for managing a plurality of snapshots as provided. A set of metadata describing a file system is contained within the file system so that a snapshot of the file system includes the associated metadata. Backup client file systems are restored to a... | 01/06/2009 |
