TLDR
In this article, a load balancer that distributes packets across different transmission paths according to transmission path quality is introduced, along with a DNS proxy server that transparently creates a virtual private network in response to a domain name inquiry.Abstract:
A plurality of computer nodes communicate using seemingly random Internet Protocol source and destination addresses. Data packets matching criteria defined by a moving window of valid addresses are accepted for further processing, while those that do not meet the criteria are quickly rejected. Improvements to the basic design include (1) a load balancer that distributes packets across different transmission paths according to transmission path quality; (2) a DNS proxy server that transparently creates a virtual private network in response to a domain name inquiry; (3) a large-to-small link bandwidth management feature that prevents denial-of-service attacks at system chokepoints; (4) a traffic limiter that regulates incoming packets by limiting the rate at which a transmitter can be synchronized with a receiver; and (5) a signaling synchronizer that allows a large number of nodes to communicate with a central node by partitioning the communication function between two separate entities.read more

Method and apparatus for coupling an antenna to a device
Paul Shala Henry,Donald J. Barnickel,Farhad Barzegar,Robert Bennett,Irwin Gerszberg,Thomas M. Willis +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a system that receives, by a feed point of a dielectric antenna, electromagnetic waves from a core coupled to the feed point without an electrical return path, and radiates a wireless signal responsive to the electromagnetic waves being received at the aperture.
Patent
Distributed cache for state transfer operations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a cache having copies distributed among a plurality of different locations, where the cache stores state information for a session with any of the server devices so that it is accessible to at least one other server device.
Patent
Transparent provisioning of services over a network
TL;DR: In this article, a packet interceptor/processor is coupled with the network so as to be able to intercept and process packets flowing over the network and provides external connectivity to other devices that wish to intercept packets as well.

Packet transmission system
Katsuhisa Hiraga,Kazuaki Ooya +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to prevent the leakage of data by providing a means controlling the order of packet by a prescribed definition to the reception and transmission side, deciding the logical channel of each packet in the order to sending at the transmission side and restoring the data string of the packet received from each logical channel at the reception side.
