A request for an information object at an address identified by a uniform resource locator (URL) is received; and the URL is mapped to a corresponding anycast address for the information object. Thereafter, the anycast address for the information object may be resolved to a unicast address for the information object, and the information object sent to the client. The request may be received at an information object repository that is topologically closer to the client than any other information object repository. This closest information object repository may be selected according to specified performance metrics, such as: average delay from the selected information object repository to a source of the request, average processing delay at the selected information object repository, reliability of a path from the selected information object repository, available bandwidth in said path, and loads on the selected information object repository.

Some embodiments provide an end-to-end federated CDN solution that assimilates a transparent caching server that is operated by a transparent caching server operator into a CDN that independently operates CDN caching servers. Specifically, the logs from the transparent caching server are assimilated into the CDN by aggregating the logs from the transparent caching server and processing the transparent caching server logs to identify network usage for content of a CDN content provider customer that is delivered by the transparent caching server. The network usage is then combined with the network usage that tracked by the CDN caching servers in order to provide comprehensive report metrics for the content provider customer and to bill the content provider customer for all network usage related to delivering the content provider customer's content irrespective of whether the content was delivered by a transparent caching server or a CDN caching server.

Some embodiments provide a method and system for efficiently transferring medical images. Some embodiments receive a medical image in a first platform dependent format of a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The first platform dependent format is one that is accessible by a first format compliant device that includes a library that specifies how to decode the first format. Some embodiments transform the medical image from the first format to a second format. The second format includes decoded content of the first format that is viewable on a first format non-compliant device. The transformed image is then passed to the device for viewing. Additionally, some embodiments efficiently transfer medical images by identifying image settings for one or more devices and by passing requested images that are optimized by resizing the images according to the image settings of the requesting device.

The chunks are selectively sized from at least one page to an entire size of the print job in accordance with predetermined splitting factors for enhancing printer printing efficiency. The operating of the printing system includes a method for parallel processing of a print job with a plurality of processing nodes into a printer-ready format for printing the print job, wherein operating modes are provided for: auto-recovery in response to a page fault by executing an auto recovery in serial mode of operation; auto-discovery of system hardware resources; and parallel processing of protected PostScript print jobs.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a network adapter is provided that is used in the system to permit data communication among external data exchanging devices and an input/output (I/O) controller residing in the system. The adapter includes one or more interfaces that may be coupled to an electrical backplane in the system. The backplane is coupled to the controller, and is configured to permit communication between the controller and the adapter when the interfaces are coupled to the backplane. The adapter also includes an integrated switching system that has a first set of ports that may be coupled to the data exchanging devices and a second set of ports that may couple the switching system to the controller when the one or more interfaces are coupled to the backplane.

In a network communication system involving a client and a server, communications are separated and forwarded into multiple subsystems for processing independently and concurrently. A protocol offloading system for processing information transmitted between a client and a server is provided. The protocol offloading system includes a first subsystem for processing protocol information and a second subsystem, independent of the first subsystem, for processing the actual data.

A block-code-based structure that allows cross-packet coding of data using a sliding window. In this structure, each transmitted packet contains both information symbols and parity symbols generated by the information in previous packets. This code structure allows a receiver to recover lost packets without additional transmissions. If enough packets have been lost so that the receiver cannot recover one or more of them, new parity symbols can be generated and transmitted as additional packets. The parity symbols in these additional packets may be used by multiple receivers. Thus, the sliding window block code reduces retransmission overhead, particularly for multicast applications. Furthermore, the sliding window structure does not produce an encoding delay between the arrival of data and its transmission and reduces the decoding delay between the loss of a packet and its recovery.

A method and a file format transformation system (FFTS) for transforming marked-up content in a first file format (FFF) to a second file format (SFF) that enables automated browser based pagination are provided. The FFTS reflows marked-up content of the FFF into a continuous page. The FFTS generates and appends tags to spaces and block elements identified in the reflown marked-up content of the FFF. For each space and block element, the FFTS determines and tags line breaks in the reflown marked-up content. For each line break, the FFTS identifies, tags, and positions anchored floats and footnotes on a current page based on space availability. The FFTS positions page breaks in the continuous page based on a configurable page height and the line breaks. The FFTS groups the marked-up content, inserts pagination elements and renders the grouped marked-up content in the SFF based on a selected level of reversibility.

In an example, a method of correcting an error in a memory device includes determining a temperature profile associated with a region of a memory device. The temperature profile is one of a plurality of temperature profiles each associated with a respective region of a plurality of regions of the memory device. The method includes determining a correction capability based on the thermal profile. The method also includes correcting an error in the memory region using the determined correction capability.

A data processing apparatus and method are provided for performing address translation in response to a memory access request issued by processing circuitry of the data processing apparatus and specifying a virtual address for a data item. Address translation circuitry performs an address translation process with reference to at least one descriptor provided by at least one page table, in order to produce a modified memory access request specifying a physical address for the data item. The address translation circuitry includes page table walk circuitry configured to generate at least one page table walk request in order to retrieve the at least one descriptor required for the address translation process. In addition, walk ahead circuitry is located in a path between the address translation circuitry and a memory device containing the at least one page table. The walk ahead circuitry comprises detection circuitry used to detect a memory page table walk request generated by the page table walk circuitry of the address translation circuitry for a descriptor in a page table. In addition, the walk ahead circuitry has further request generation circuitry which is used to generate a prefetch memory request in order to prefetch data from the memory device at a physical address determined with reference to the descriptor requested by the detected memory page table walk request. This prefetched data may be another descriptor required as part of the address translation process, or may be the actual data item being requested by the processing circuitry. Such an approach can significantly reduce latency associated with the address translation process.

A beacon-augmented pose estimation system includes positionable beacons that can determine their own 3-D geospatial coordinates and transmit those coordinates back to the pose object. An imaging sensor images the field-of-view of the pose object to provide 2-D image coordinates for any of the beacons in the FOV. A pose object controller processes the sets of 3-D geospatial coordinates and 2-D image coordinates to refine a pose estimate of the pose object. The positionable beacons may include both static beacons that are pre-positioned and mobile beacons that are command-guided to position themselves in the pose object's likely or actual FOV.

A method and apparatus for transitioning between radio link protocols in a packet-based real-time media communication system. A wireless communication device such as a cell phone will operate under one radio link protocol (such as IS-856, also known as 1xEV-DO) to engage in packet-based signaling for setup of a packet-based real-time media session such as a push-to-talk session. Once the session is set up, the wireless communication device will then automatically transition to operate under a different radio link protocol (such as IS-2000, also known as 1xRTT), and will engage in packet-based real-time media communication in the session over that different radio link protocol. Preferably, the radio link protocol used for session setup signaling will provide for reduced setup latency, while the radio link protocol used for bearer communication in the session will provide for reduced jitter and improved real-time media communication.

Error checking and correcting (ECC) may be performed in an on-chip memory where an error is corrected by a controller and not the on-chip memory. The controller may be flagged to show that an error has occurred and where it has occurred in the memory. The controller may access ECC bits associated with the error and may fix incorrect data. The error checking may be done in parallel with read operations of the memory so as to lower latency.
