20080263493 | Method and Apparatus for Tie Net Routing - A method of performing tie net routing within an integrated circuit chip is disclosed without using wiring. Due to repeated use of designs in modern chip, there are often unused portions of the design that need to be connected permanently to a local logical1 or logical 0. These connections, known as tie nets, are not timing critical signals that, when poorly implemented can get in the way of functional signals in an integrated circuit. The current method is to connect the pin to the nearest power connections of the correct polarity. This requires some amount of wiring resources that may be needed for other functions or pin access. Accordingly, the present invention avoids this situation by avoiding wiring. | 10-23-2008 |

20140181248 | Simple Remote Access Through Firewalls For Networked Devices and Applications - A method, apparatus, and system are described for accessing networked devices without accessible network addresses via Virtual IP (VIP) addresses. The system consists of a soft Device Services Controller (DSC), downloaded on a first local network from the device service manager (DSM) on a wide area network, and a VIP Access enabled device on a second local network separate from the first area network. The soft DSC and associated VIP Access enabled device create a virtual network interface and corresponding virtual IP address (VIP) to permit outgoing TCP/IP conduit connection to the DSM. When networking traffic arrives at the virtual networking interface with the associated VIP, the soft DSC automatically processes and forwards that traffic to the DSM. Using this mechanism, it is possible for two networked devices on separate networks to communicate in spite of firewalls and without knowledge of each other's network. | 06-26-2014 |
