Abstract: A broadcast transmission system transmits data packets from a server to a client over a unidirectional broadcast network. The system transmits both full-length data packets, which have uncompressed headers, and reduced-length data packets, which have compressed headers derived from associated uncompressed headers. The server compresses the data packets by compressing the packet header. Compressed packet headers contain fewer header fields than their associated uncompressed headers. The server transmits a series of intermixed full-length and reduced-length packets to the client. As the packets are received, the client determines whether the packets are full-length or reduced-length. If the packet is full-length, the client stores the uncompressed header in a header table. If the packet is reduced-length, the client rebuilds the compressed header from its corresponding uncompressed headers in the header table.

Abstract translation: 广播传输系统通过单向广播网络将数据分组从服务器发送到客户端。 系统传输具有未压缩报头的全长数据分组和具有从相关联的未压缩报头导出的压缩报头的缩减长度数据分组。 服务器通过压缩包头压缩数据包。 压缩包头包含的标题字段少于其关联的未压缩标题。 服务器向客户端发送一系列混合的全长和缩减的数据包。 当接收到数据包时，客户端确定数据包是全长还是缩小。 如果数据包是全长的，则客户端将未压缩的头部存储在头表中。 如果数据包是缩减长度，则客户机从其表中的相应的未压缩报头重建压缩报头。

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and system for predicting the availability of hot water for bathing. One or more parameters corresponding to the operation of a water heater are monitored over time and/or a temperature distribution of water in a hot water tank measured. Data corresponding to the monitored parameters and/or temperature distribution are processed to determine a rate at which hot water is being consumed by filling a bath and/or due to other hot water consumers and/or to determine a current hot water availability condition. Based on a hot water consumption rate and/or determination of a current hot water availability condition, a projection is made to whether there will be adequate hot water to fill the bathtub to a desired level or volume at a desired temperature.

Abstract: Methods, architectures, software/firmware and systems for enabling concurrent administration of host operating systems and virtual machine-hosted operating systems. Techniques are disclosed for monitoring and reporting various administrative data (e.g., performance data, event data, log data, etc.), as well as enabling allocation and reallocation of system resources, such as physical memory and disk space. The techniques support implementation of user-interfaces hosted by a virtual machine operating system or a host operating system that enable administrators and the like to manage operations of virtual machines and hosts via a unified interface. Moreover, the techniques support concurrent management of different operating system types.

Abstract: A method for encoding network data, such as Internet Protocol (IP) data, into a format for transmission over a satellite system is described. The network data is configured in a packet having a data block and header information. The network data packet is encoded into a variable-length multi-packet transport (MPT) frame. The MPT frame comprises a data frame to hold data and header information. The IP packet in inserted its entirety into the data frame of the MPT frame. The variable-length MTP frame is then encoded into one or more fixed-length MTP packets. Each MPT packet has a data fragment block comprising a portion of the MTP frame and associated header information to designate what portion of the MTP frame is contained in the data fragment block. The MPT packets are sized to be embedded as a specific size payload of the satellite packet that is transmitted over a satellite network. Using this method, data received over a data network (i.e., Ethernet or Internet) in large network data packets are broken into smaller packets defined by the mult-packet transport. These smaller packets are then inserted as the data payload within standard fixed-size packets suitable for transmission across a particular distribution medium, such as satellite network. The network data remains independent of the underlying network and can be easily extracted at the receiver for use by computer applications.

Abstract: A client computer runs an operating system that executes additional applications by loading them using an application loader and executes device drivers for peripheral devices by loading the drivers using a device loader. The operating system restricts the functionality of the operating system, such as by making selected portions and functionality of the operating system unavailable to the user or by limiting the user's ability to add software applications or device drivers to the computer. Additionally, various techniques can be used to remove or reduce the functionality limitations of the computer

Abstract: A system and method for a remote telephone ringer, which when used in proximity to a wireless or non-wireless telephone rings or vibrates when the telephone itself rings or vibrates. The method includes a protocol for communicating status from a sending device to a receiving device. In response to a detected incoming call, a ringer indicator signal is transmitted from a sending device attached to or built into the phone and a receiving device. The ringer indicator signal includes an encoded status message that includes parameters that identify how the receiving device is to function in response to receiving the signal. The status message is decoded by the receiving device, and the receiving device provided corresponding indicia to indicate a phone call has been received, such as generating an audible ringing noise or vibrating. The indicia can be turned off, either through detection of motion or user input.

Abstract: A client computer collects registration information regarding a user and/or the client computer and attempts to upload the collected information to a remote registration system. The client computer stores the registration information locally and delays uploading of the information to the registration system until a connection to the registration system is established. The connection to the registration system and the uploading of the registration information can be performed automatically and transparently to the user, eliminating the need for any further required actions on the part of the user once the registration information is collected.

Abstract: A client computer collects registration information and uploads the collected information to one or more remote registration databases. The collection and/or uploading of registration information for multiple manufacturers is performed in a unified manner, improving the user-friendliness of the computer. According to one aspect of the invention, a single user interface is used to collect the registration information for all of the manufacturers, preventing the same question from being asked multiple times. According to another aspect of the invention, a multiple posting method is used to upload the registration information to the registration databases. In the multiple posting method, a single network communication link is established between the client computer and a network that the registration databases are coupled to, via which multiple client computer to registration database connections are established.
