Disclosed are methods and apparatus for avoiding problems caused by converting between two different protocols, such as IPv4 and IPv6. These problems may include, but are not limited to, fragmentation of packets, dropping of packets, and retransmission of packets. Avoiding these problems will reduce the incidence of transmission delays, bandwidth degradation, and additional processing in the packet's transmission path due to such problems. In general terms, the present invention provides mechanisms for modifying a protocol parameter, such as a TCP or UDP parameter, to avoid problems associated with protocol translation, such as fragmentation. In one implementation, the protocol parameter limits the size of a particular portion of the a packet transmitted by a sending computer node or device. For example, a packet size indicator is communicated to the sending computer node so that the sending computer node sends packets limited by the packet size indicator to thereby avoid associated with the size of such packets. In specific TCP embodiments, the size indicator specifies a window size and/or a maximum segment size. For example, if packets transmitted by a sending node to a receiving node are converted from IPv4 to IPv6 and the window size indicated to the sending node (e.g., by the receiving node) is 512 bytes, the window size is adjusted to 500 bytes before reaching the sending node. The adjustment amount may be based on an estimated size increase resulting from converting from IPv4 to IPv6. In this example, the window size is decreased by 12 bytes since a conversion from IPv4 to IPv6 where one 4 byte IPv4 address is changed to a 16 byte Ipv6 address has an associated size difference of 12 bytes. In a specific embodiment, actual changes in packet size may tracked and the adjusted size indicator may be dynamically based on such tracked changes. In other embodiments, the changes in packet size are predicted, and the adjusted size is preemptively changed as needed.

There is provided a connector which can downsize the peripheral device. A receptacle 1 is capable of receiving both a mini-A plug based on a USB OTG standard and a mini-B plug based on a USB 2.0 standard. Further, the receptacle 1 includes first posts 41 compliant with the USB standard and second posts 42 disposed at an opposite side to the first posts 41 with a connecting part 32 inserted into a connecting recess 20 of a plug 2 therebetween.

Systems and methods are described that facilitate mitigating searchable electronic document size increases associated with embedded font definition files by embedding only font size information. When a document is scanned or converted into a PDF or XPS document image, glyphless font size information describing character dimensions for fonts used in the document is embedded into the document image. The glyphless font size information is on the order of a few kilobytes in size, and is later read by a searcher to facilitate highlighting search terms identified in the document image in response to a user query. A highlight block is generated to have a width substantially equal to the combined widths of the characters in the queried term, which are described in the glyphless font information. The highlight block is then overlaid on the image of the queried term, and presented to the user.

A wavelength demultiplexer for demultiplexing optical signals carrying data, is also used to route a separate monitoring signal on to any of the demultiplexed output paths, by changing the wavelength of the monitoring signal. This enables optical paths through a switching arrangement to be verified or tested. A multiplexer at the output of the switching arrangement may be used to detect which of the output paths of the switching element has the monitoring signal. This saves the need for individual couplers to couple a monitoring signal on to each of the inputs, and off each of the outputs of the switching element. The saving in terms of component count, cost, and reduced size increases as the number of channels increases.
