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.

A display device guiding apparatus includes a receiving portion in which a display device can be received and a guide unit provided between the display device and the receiving portion. The guide unit includes a hinge assembly for pivoting the display at a predetermined angle, an arm assembly having first and second ends respectively connected to the hinge assembly and the receiving portion, and a pivot control unit providing a pivotal force of the arm assembly with respect to the receiving portion.

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.

A method of manufacturing a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting element used as drill bit cutting elements (10) is disclosed. The method comprises leaching a PCD body formed from diamond particles (202) using a binder-catalyzing material so as to remove substantially all of the binder-catalyzing material from portions of a cutting surface of the PCD body. A portion (24) of the cutting surface is identified as a cutting area which, in use of the cutting element to cut material, is heated by the cutting action of the cutting element. Leaching of the PCD body includes performing a relatively deep leach in the portion of the cutting surface identified as the cutting area and performing a relatively shallow leach in at least the portion (26) of the cutting surface surrounding the identified cutting area.

A method for forming an isolation filled trench (25) in a silicon layer (21) of an SOI structure (20). The trench (25) is relieved adjacent its open mouth (30) in order to displace the commencement of bridging of the trench (25) with the filling material, to a level (36) well below a first surface (27) of the silicon layer (21) for in turn displacing voids (35) from the open mouth (30) into the trench (25) below the level (36). 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). By sufficiently relieving the trench (25) and / or lining layers (32) adjacent the open mouth to a sufficient depth the formation of voids in the trench may be completely avoided.

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.

A rotary wrenching tool used on polygonal nuts, bolts and screws is disclosed. More particularly, the wrenching tool is a single piece rotary wrenching tool with a uniform interior having no moving parts and consisting of six or twelve inwardly projecting lobes of the same size that enable the wrench or socket to exert pressure on the flats of hexagonal objects away from the corners. This invention further relates to a duplex wrench operable on hexagonal fasteners measured by the metric, inch, or both systems. Within a defined range in one wrench, each wrench secures hexagonal objects measured by both inch and metric systems.

An ultrathin optical panel, and a method of producing an ultrathin optical panel, are disclosed, including stacking a plurality of glass sheets, which sheets may be coated with a transparent cladding substance or may be uncoated, fastening together the plurality of stacked coated glass sheets using an epoxy or ultraviolet adhesive, applying uniform pressure to the stack, curing the stack, sawing the stack to form an inlet face on a side of the stack and an outlet face on an opposed side of the stack, bonding a coupler to the inlet face of the stack, and fastening the stack, having the coupler bonded thereto, within a rectangular housing having an open front which is aligned with the outlet face, the rectangular housing having therein a light generator which is optically aligned with the coupler. The light generator is preferably placed parallel to and proximate with the inlet face, thereby allowing for a reduction in the depth of the housing.

The present invention relates to a method and computer system device for applying a plurality of rules to data packets within a network computer system. A filter rule decision tree is updated by adding or deleting a rule. If deleting a filter rule then the decision tree is provided to a network data plane processor with an incremental delete of the filter rule. If adding a filter rule then either providing an incremental insertion of the filter rule to the decision tree or rebuilding the first decision tree into a second decision tree responsive to comparing a parameter to a threshold. In one embodiment the parameter and thresholds relate to depth values of the tree filter rule chained branches. In another the parameter and thresholds relate to a total count of rule additions since a building of the relevant tree.

A parabolic reflector for an antenna has a plurality of concentric annular sections arranged in series from a first annular section nearest a central axis of the reflector to a last annular section defining an outer perimeter of the reflector. Each section has a parabolic reflecting surface between inner and outer perimeters. The sections are configured such that the focal point associated with at least the last section lies inside an internal volume of the reflector and are arranged with respect to each other along the central axis, such that an overall depth of the reflector is substantially minimized. The inner perimeters of all the sections are preferably arranged to lie substantially on a plane which is perpendicular to the central axis. The outer perimeter of each section except the last section is preferably connected with the inner perimeter of the succeeding section by means of an annular strip. The strips may either each have an angle of inclination to the reflector central axis of between 0° and 3° or they may lie on respective cones running from the respective inner perimeters of the respective sections to which they are joined, to the furthest located focal point or ring.
