Demultiplexer for a molecular wire crossbar network (MWCN DEMUX)
A demultiplexer for a two-dimensional array of a plurality of nanometer-scale switches (molecular wire crossbar network) is disclosed. Each switch comprises a pair of crossed wires which form a junction where one wire crosses another and at least one connector species connecting said pair of crossed wires in said junction. The connector species comprises a bi-stable molecule. The demultiplexer comprises a plurality of address lines accessed by a first set of wires in the two-dimensional array by randomly forming contacts between each wire in the first set of wires to at least one of the address lines. The first set of wires crosses a second set of wires to form the junctions. The demultiplexer solves both the problems of data input and output to a molecular electronic system and also bridges the size gap between CMOS and molecules with an architecture that can scale up to extraordinarily large numbers of molecular devices. Further, the demultiplexer is very defect tolerant, and can work despite a large number of defects in the system.

ActiveUS20080219268A1Bridging the gapImprove convenienceError preventionTransmission systemsQuality of serviceAbstraction layer
A Provider Network Controller (PNC) addresses the challenges in building services across Next Generation Network (NGN) architectures and creates an abstraction layer as a bridge, or glue, between the network transport and applications running over it. The PNC is a multi-layer, multi-vendor dynamic control plane that implements service activation and Layer 0-2 management tools for multiple transport technologies including Carrier Ethernet, Provider Backbone Transport (PBT), Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS), Transport MPLS (T-MPLS), optical and integrated networking platforms. Decoupling transport controls and services from the network equipment simplifies service creation and provides options for carriers to choose best-in-class equipment that leverages the PNC to enable rapid creation and management of transports and services. The PNC provides Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) interfaces to abstract transport objects expressly designed to support both wholesale and retail services, and supports service offerings with varied bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, thus achieving enterprise Ethernet economics.

A system, method, and computer program product of automatically connecting a mobile communication device to a communication network using a network resource classification database includes detecting a communication network access point using the mobile communication device and reporting network attributes associated with the access point to a resource classification server. The server analyzes and stores the network attributes, determines auxiliary data related to the access point, and uses a rules database to determine a category identifier associated with the access point. The server creates a resource classification characterizing the access point based upon the network attributes, auxiliary data, and category identifier and the network attributes, auxiliary data, and / or category identifier data of other access points. The mobile communication device queries the server, receives a resource classification, and connects to an access point based upon the received resource classification.

Encryption Architecture
ActiveUS20150379277A1Avoid overheadBridging the gapMultiple keys/algorithms usageUnauthorized memory use protectionComputer hardwareNetwork structure
For a host that executes one or more guest virtual machines (GVMs), some embodiments provide a novel encryption method for encrypting the data messages sent by the GVMs. The method initially receives a data message to send for a GVM executing on the host. The method then determines whether it should encrypt the data message based on a set of one or more encryption rules. When the process determines that it should encrypt the received data message, it encrypts the data message and forwards the encrypted data message to its destination; otherwise, the method just forwards the received data message unencrypted to its destination. In some embodiments, the host encrypts differently the data messages for different GVMs that execute on the host. When two different GVMs are part of two different logical overlay networks that are implemented on common network fabric, the method in some embodiments encrypts the data messages exchanged between the GVMs of one logical network differently than the data messages exchanged between the GVMs of another logical network. In some embodiments, the method can also encrypt different types of data messages from the same GVM differently. Also, in some embodiments, the method can dynamically enforce encryption rules in response to dynamically detected events, such as malware infections.

The invention provides a method for extracting an image region of interest by combining bottom-up and top-down ways. In the method, an interactive way is adopted, a user converts top-down information of observation tasks carried by the user into different weight values which are used for inputting the image bottom-layer features, an Itti-Koch model and a Stentiford model are combined, and the advantages of the two models are absorbed, thus the method for extracting region of interest combined with a user task and image visual stimulation is realized. Inquiry intention of the user and understanding on the image are converted into weights of a saliency map, namely the bottom-layer features are added corresponding weights to influence the solution of the saliency map, thus a gap between the inquiry intention of the user and the bottom-layer features of an image is reduced and the extracted region of interest is more consistent with the requirement of the user. The processing results of multiple images show that better result can be obtained by adopting the method to extract the region of interest for the user.
