摘要:
A switch with tandem ports and an outlet assembly permit individual segments of cable to be used with multiple data link protocol standards. The multiple data link protocols can be used either one at a time, with each group of wires in the cable carrying the same data link protocol in different communication sessions, or can be used in tandem, with each group of wires in the cable simultaneously carrying a different data link protocol.

A system and methods to facilitate provision of network-based services is provided. The system comprises a signaling module that uses a first communication protocol to send a trigger signal to a potential recipient of a network-based service. The trigger signal indicates to the potential recipient that the network-based service is available for the potential recipient to access via the network. The system also includes a service module that receives a request from the potential recipient via a second communication protocol to provide to the potential recipient the network-based service that the trigger signal indicated was available.

Methods and systems for establishing a secure network channel between two ore more devices in a communication network are disclosed. In exemplary implementations the network may be a UPnP network. A first device passes authentication information to at least a second device to permit the second device to authenticate the first device. Optionally, the first device may request to authenticate the second device, in which authentication information associated with the second device is passed to the first device. The first device uses this information to authenticate the second device. At least one of the first and second device may store authentication information in an data store associated with the device.

Examples of the disclosure describe automatically associating devices of a user with a network service subscription of the user. The user has a subscription to services offered by an entity. Connection statistics for the devices to networks are generated and compared to criteria to determine whether any of the devices should be associated with the subscription of the user. After association, the devices are able to access networks and/or services associated with the subscription.

The present invention relates to a system and method for configuring and managing network devices. The arrival (and departure) of devices on a network can be detected by a monitor. Upon detection, network devices can be simply and dynamically configured with little or no end-user intervention, for instance by automatically loading device drivers and allocating resources for the devices. Furthermore, network devices can be associated with other network devices such as a personal computer to facilitate seamless integration of network devices with a computer operating system.

The invention provides a pneumatic and/or fluidic module, a method of producing a pneumatic and/or fluidic module and the use of a pneumatic and/or fluidic module, the pneumatic and/or fluidic module comprising at least one pneumatic and/or fluidic conduit provided to form at least a part of a pneumatic and/or fluidic circuit, said at least one pneumatic and/or fluidic conduit comprising a first part along said conduit and a second part along said conduit, wherein said conduit is provided essentially leak-proof along the interface of the first and the second part by means of the first part comprising a first material at the interface of the first and the second part and by means of the second part comprising a second material at the interface of the first and the second part and wherein the first material is more compressible than the second material.
摘要:
A system for signaling an application when a requested data rate and Quality of Service cannot be achieved using OFDM wireless data transmission, and the application proceeds by either renegotiating QoS and data rate, or waiting until they requested rate and QoS are met.
摘要:
Discovery of services between devices is provided prior to establishing a connection between devices, including wireless-enabled devices or devices that are communicatively coupled to wireless access points. Discovering services prior to establishing a connection may facilitate finding a desired service. The services that may be discovered may be, for example, print services, camera services, PDA services or any other suitable services. Services may be discovered using 802.11, UWB or any other suitable wireless technology. As one example, particular services may be requested. As another example, services that are provided by a device may be advertised.

A radio module that detachably connects with a host device. A radio module is provided that includes an antenna as an integral part of the radio module. The antenna satisfies regulatory requirements by being an integral part of the radio module. The radio module includes an interface circuit that provides the processing required for communication over a wireless network. The functionality of the interface can be divided between the radio module and the host device. The physical interface between a host device and the radio module may depend on which functions are implemented by the radio module and which functions are implemented by the host device. In one example, the physical interface is a standard connection that permits the radio module to be detachably connected with multiple devices. The radio module also includes a flexible cable such that the radio module can be optimally positioned within the wireless network.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for using a single transmit queue to transmit a plurality of access categories in an IEEE 802.11 system. To use a single transmit queue, conventional frame descriptors that are used to pass data frames between the wireless NIC and the host are modified to include access parameters for the packets that are associated with the frame descriptors. This allows transmission hardware to dynamically change how each packet is transmitted. For example, the contention policies may be implemented on a packet-by-packet basis, even from a single transmit queue. Also, packets of various access categories into appropriate positions within the single transmit queue.
