Abstract:

A network enabled computer receives connection profile information in a generic form and creates one or more native mode profiles to establish connections. By accepting profile information in a generic form, profile information can be readily provided from one or more ways, including from a policy server, through a user interface or from a third party application. The profile information can be provided with an order of precedence so that profile information from different sources may be combined appropriately. Additionally, the profile information may be provided in an extensible format to allow profile information to be distributed to multiple computers, even if some have different hardware or software configurations and are not programmed to recognize extensions of the profile information.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709204

Abstract:

In some embodiments, a wireless management service provides the capability to manage connectivity between a device and one or more wireless networks on a differentiated basis. For example, network profiles may be managed in a way that is influenced by the identity of the user, such that profiles which are customized for a specific user may be established. Connectivity may also be managed in a way that is influenced by a session type ongoing on a device, such that when certain events occur (e.g., a request by one user to connect to or disconnect from a wireless network is processed), wireless connectivity employed by other users sharing the device is appropriately managed.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16
G06F 9/44

US Classification:

709246, 719321

Abstract:

A computer system with a software framework for supporting Wi-Fi communications that is used for WiMAX communications in a user friendly way. A Wi-Fi emulation component presents a driver interface to the framework that allows Wi-Fi user interfaces and control functions to operate with a WiMAX network card. Functions of the WiMAX card not supported through the framework may be translated within the emulation component to command objects that are passed by the framework to extensibility components. The extensibility components may be supplied in association with the network interface card. The emulation component also presents an interface to a driver for a WiMAX network interface card in a form that may interface directly with the framework, if the framework is modified to support WiMAX communications.

International Classification:

H01L 51/30

US Classification:

257 40, 257E51005

Abstract:

Organic electronic devices comprising “remotely” doped materials comprising a combination of at least three layers. Such devices can include “remotely p-doped” structures comprising: a channel layer comprising at least one organic semiconductor channel material; a dopant layer, which comprises at least one p-dopant material and optionally at least one organic hole transport material; and a spacer layer disposed between and in electrical contact with both the channel layer and the dopant layer, comprising an organic semiconducting spacer material; or alternatively can include “remotely n-doped” structures comprising a combination of at least three layers: a channel layer comprising at least one organic semiconductor channel material; a dopant layer which comprises at least one organic electron transport material doped with an n-dopant material; and a spacer layer disposed between and in electrical contact with the channel layer and the dopant layer, comprising an organic semiconducting spacer material. Such devices include “remotely doped” field effect transistors comprising the doped structures described above.

US Classification:

709226

Abstract:

Individual role instance reachability and load balancing are simultaneously provided for role instances of an application running in a hosting environment. Instance endpoints may be assigned to each role instance. Each instance endpoint may comprise a combination of an IP address, a transport protocol, and a unique port number. Additionally, a load balanced endpoint may be assigned to the group of role instances. The load balanced endpoint may comprise a combination of an IP address, transport protocol, and another unique port number. When application messages are issued to the data center, the messages are routed in accordance with endpoints used by the messages. For an instance endpoint, the message is routed to a role instance corresponding with the instance endpoint without load balancing. For the load balanced endpoint, the message is routed to any one of the role instances using load balancing.

Inventors:

- Grand Cayman, KY
Gang Cheng - Bellevue WA, US
Wei Zhao - Bellevue WA, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/46
H04L 12/66
H04L 12/931
G06F 9/455

Abstract:

The techniques discussed herein include storing a fast-path and a slow-path table in a memory associated with a programmable switch, such as a cache of the programmable switch. An offload controller may control the contents of the fast-path and/or slow-path table and may thereby control behavior of the programmable switch. The programmable may route a received packet to a gateway if the packet generates a hit in the slow-path table. If the received packet generates a hit in the fast-path table, the packet may be forwarded directly to a virtual private cloud (VPC), virtual switch thereof, and/or to a virtual machine (VM).

Abstract:

A method and system that include techniques for an offload controller that controls functionality of a programmable switch.
