Filed:

Nov 14, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/295554

Inventors:

Magnus Karlsson - Mountain View CA, US
Qian Wang - State College PA, US
John Wilkes - Palo Alto CA, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 4, 709201

Abstract:

A technique for data placement in a distributed system that takes into account fault tolerance. Data placement is performed in which data objects, and possibly replicas thereof, are assigned to nodes within the distributed system. The resulting placement is then tested to determine whether the system provides desired performance under various different fault scenarios. If not, the distributed system is altered such as by altering its capacity or its capacity allocations. Performing data placement, testing for fault-tolerance and altering capacity or capacity allocations are performed repetitively, thereby increasing the system's ability to provide the desired performance under the fault scenarios. Preferably, a system and placement are eventually determined that provide the desired performance under the given fault scenarios.

Appl. No.:

10/508362

Inventors:

Hongjie Dai - Sunnyvale CA, US
Nathan Franklin - Santa Barbara CA, US
Qian Wang - Mountain View CA, US

International Classification:

H01L027/14

US Classification:

257414000

Abstract:

A carbon nanotube is formed on at least one Molybdenum-based electrode. In one embodiment, a carbon-nanotube device includes a pair of Molybdenum-based electrodes over respective terraces. Using a catalyst on the Molybdenum-based material of at least one electrode, a carbon nanotube is grown over a gap that separates the terraces to connect the Molybdenum-based electrodes. Yet other aspects of the present invention employ carbon nanotubes extending (suspended) from respective Molybdenum-based structures for use in electrically addressable devices. The nanotubes can also be formed by patterned growth to bridge such Molybdenum-based electrodes. A particular method for manufacturing this device does not require post-growth processing. Applications include, among many others, scalable nanotube transistors/switches nano-electromechanical systems.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709231

Abstract:

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for using HyperText Transfer Protocol communication as a transport for bi-directional data streams. Embodiments of the invention facilitate passing otherwise blocked TCP communication through a firewall. Embodiments of the invention can be used to pass legitimate TCP communication through a firewall even though a firewall is configured to block the legitimate TCP communication.

US Classification:

726 4

Abstract:

The subject disclosure relates to authorization based on a determination of permissions that can be granted for an action(s) to be performed on a resource. The determination of the permission is based on a set of rules that represent a theory including a notion of trust that has been divided into different sized tables. The tables are utilized to evaluate two or more input claims and to facilitate a determination of whether access to at least one system resource is to be granted. The evaluation can include matching the two or more input claims to rows in the table, wherein access is allowed if a match is found.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 3

Abstract:

Methods and systems for verifying whether a user requesting an online account is likely a human or an automated program are described. A request for an online account may be received from a mobile device. A human challenge-response test adapted for displaying on a mobile device is displayed on the mobile device. Upon viewing the human challenge-response test, the user enters the user's solution to the human challenge-response test on the mobile device. A response hash value is created based on the user's solution. The response hash value is sent to an account request server for verification.

International Classification:

G06F 12/0802

Abstract:

The disclosure relates to technology for up-evicting cache lines. An apparatus comprises a hierarchy of caches comprising a first cache having a first cache controller and a second cache having a second cache controller. The first cache controller is configured to store cache lines evicted from a first processor group to the first cache and to down-evict cache lines from the first cache to the second cache. The second cache controller is configured to store cache lines evicted from a second processor group into the second cache, to up-evict a first cache line from the second cache to the first cache in response to an eviction of a second cache line from the second processor group to the second cache, and to provide the up-evicted first cache line from the first cache to the second processor group in response to a request from the second processor group.
