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.

TL;DR: In this paper, a user-held table indicating correspondence between repeaters and passwords, a repeater-held access region table indicating access regions for users, departments of users and official positions of users, and a route control information storing table indicating correspondences between networks and next transmitting destination is also provided to execute the access control for each user.
RTP Payload Format for Bundled MPEG
M. Civanlar,G. Cash,B. Haskell +2 more
TL;DR: This document describes a payload type for bundled, MPEG-2 encoded video and audio data that may be used with RTP, version 2.0 when its advantages are important enough to sacrifice the modularity of having separate audio and video streams.

Method and apparatus for transmitting and/or storing a series of hierarchically encoded digital image data blocks
TL;DR: In this article, a system for transmitting a series of images of a full motion video scene in a digital format was proposed, where each image of a sub-series is converted into an image data block, while images from one or more sub-sets having a lower order of precedence are considered for this conversion.
