Segmented match line arrangement for content addressable memory

Patent number: 6452822

Abstract: A semiconductor content addressable memory (CAM) is described that has the enhanced capability of simultaneously performing content search operations between two sets of input data and stored data. This invention utilizes a segmented ML scheme, where one long ML is separated into two parts: a SML (Segmented ML) and a main ML. The SML is for evaluation of the comparison between input A and the content stored in an array of CAM cells A, and the main ML is for evaluation of the comparison between input B and the content stored in an array of CAM cells B. A specialized circuit that ties the SML and the main ML together is provided. The SML sense & restore is utilized to sense the value on the SML, send the result to the main ML if the enable signal (enable SML) is on, and restore the SML to a precharge state, if necessary, after SML evaluation. The circuit is able to discharge the ML if the SML shows a mismatch.

Method of displaying structures three-dimensionally

Patent number: 4982180

Abstract: A method of displaying a structure (SML) three-dimensionally, in which a rectangular parallelepiped (RP), having on each of its sides distances (L.sub.x, L.sub.y, L.sub.z) between minimum and maximum positions along each axis of a structure (SML) is constituted by a set of a number of unit solids, e.g., unit cubes (UC), of the same shape and same dimensions. The structure is represented by information indicating whether each unit solid is part of the structure (SML). Individual ones of the unit solids constituting the structure (SML) are displayed in order starting from unit solids seen on a the front side of the structure. The face of a unit solid overlapping a face of a unit solid already displayed is not displayed; instead, only the visually foremost faces thereof are displayed, thereby displaying a perspective view of the three-dimensional structure (SML).

Method and system for providing layer-4 switching technologies

Publication number: 20040109447

Abstract: Smart-Man's Layer 4 (SML4) is a process in which the TCP/IP stack is manipulated on a set of computer systems to enable Layer-4 switching (load balancing and failover) of a set of IP Addresses without the use of an expensive dedicated, specialized Layer-4 switch dedicated to performing the Layer-4 switching. SML4 supports any application which uses TCP stream sockets for data transfer. SML4 requires no special or non-standard handling of packets on the network switches the systems are connected to.

METHOD AND SYSTEM OF MANAGING DATA OF AN ENTITY

Publication number: 20190362271

Abstract: The data management system receives data associated with an entity from data source. The data comprises a current data and a reference data. A category of current data is predicted to be one of duplicate data and non-duplicate data, with respect to reference data, using a plurality of Supervised Machine Learning (SML) classifiers, where each of the plurality of SML classifiers predicts category of the data individually. The data management system generates a confidence factor of the duplicate data category and the non-duplicate data category based on the prediction of each of the plurality of SML classifiers and thereafter determines current data to be one of, duplicate data and non-duplicate data based on confidence factor to manage data of entity.
