Modular packet classification

The novel method and system for classifying packets through the use of filters combines heuristic tree search with the use of filter buckets. This provides high performance and reasonable storage requirement, even when applied to large number of filters (from 4K to 1 million). In addition, the novel method can adapt to the input packet distribution by taking into account the relative filter usage. The capability of employing a large number of filters in a packet classifciation system is useful in providing value-added services, such as security, quality of service (QoS), load balancing, and traffic accounting.

Stretched membrane device

An improved device for reflecting, radiating, or receiving electromagnetic radiation, acoustic waves, or other energy forms through the use of a membrane stretched across a lightweight, round, frame structure. A near perfectly round and flat semi-rigid backplane surface (1) and a near perfectly round ring or stack of rings (2) are mutually reinforced, forming a raised circumferential planar surface, and a cavity within. A membrane (3) is attached to the top of the rings, forming one wall of a sealed chamber. A source of sub-ambient pressure (4) is applied to the chamber, causing a primary uniform deformation in the membrane for the purpose of manipulating electromagnetic radiation, acoustic waves, or other energy. The backplane surface also deforms uniformly, increasing the strength of the structure. A flat, rigid floating batten (5) prevents waves or wrinkles from forming in the membrane material. A circumferential heating element (6) and insulation (7) provides tensioning of the membrane by slightly controlling the circumference of the device.

Pavement rehabilitation using cold in-place asphalt pavement recycling

ActiveUS8083434B1Less-thickEffective and easy compactionIn situ pavingsRoads maintainenceEmulsionPortland cement
A method of cold in-place recycling of asphalt to remediate distressed roads. Asphalt particles obtained by milling the existing asphalt are limited by screening to a maximum size of about one inch length. Asphalt particle size may be established by limiting tooth spacing of the road milling equipment milling head to about 5 / 16 inch or 8 millimeter spacing intervals. A predetermined proportion of portland cement, water, and asphalt emulsion are added to generated asphalt particles. Portland cement may be deposited onto the existing asphalt prior to milling. The resulting combination is mixed to generate a recycled mix, which may then be discharged onto the road being remediated and further processed, such as by screeding, compacting, and sealing.

The trench may be relieved by forming tapered portions (40) in the side wells (29) adjacent the open mouth (30), and / or by relieving one or more lining layers (32) in the trench (25) adjacent the open mouth (30) to form tapered portion (52) and (53). Instead of relieving the trench (25) by tapering the side walls (29) relieving recesses may be formed into the first surface (27) of the silicon layer (21) adjacent the open mouth (30). By relieving the trench (25) or one or more of the lining layers (32) adjacent the open mouth (30) the commencement of bridging of the trench with the filling material is displaced downwardly to a level (36), which displaces voids formed in the trench below the level (36).

Inlet structure for clarifiers

A clarifier is provided with an improved inlet structure which receives influent from influent column ports and discharges the influent uniformly around the entire circumference of the inlet structure. The influent column ports may be baffled. Angled guide vanes on the inlet structure reduce the flow energy and effect a tangential flow into a feedwell in the basin. The feedwell may be conical to further reduce the velocities and create an outward flow to counteract inward flows in the basin.

Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device having multi-gate insulation layers and semiconductor devices fabricated thereby are provided. The method includes forming a pad insulation layer and an initial high voltage gate insulation layer on a first region and a second region of a semiconductor substrate respectively. The initial high voltage gate insulation layer is formed to be thicker than the pad insulation layer.

The pad insulation layer is then removed to expose the first active region. A low voltage gate insulation layer is formed on the exposed first active region. Accordingly, it can minimize a depth of recessed regions (dent regions) to be formed at edge regions of the first isolation layer during removal of the pad insulation layer, and it can prevent dent regions from being formed at edge regions of the second isolation layer.
