Abstract:
A system and method for managing customer premise equipment (CPE) devices. A wake signal is issued to the CPE device. Action parameters are communicated to the CPE device in response to receiving acknowledgement of the wake signal from the CPE device. A management session is established with the CPE device utilizing an address for secure communications in response to the CPE device acknowledging the action parameters. Communications are performed through the management session to perform operation, administration, and maintenance of the CPE device. The management session with the CPE device is terminated.
Abstract:
A method for link layer address proxying includes receiving a first data packet from a first client device. The first data packet has a first source data link layer address field and a first source network layer address field. The method further includes determining a first data link layer address value associated with the first client device from the first source data link layer address field. The method further includes determining a first network layer address value associated with the first client device from the first source network layer address field, and translating the first data link layer address value into a proxy data link layer address value assigned to the first client device. The method still further includes replacing the first data link layer address value within the first source data link layer address field with the proxy data link layer address value to produce a first proxied data packet, and forwarding the first proxied data packet to a destination device.
Abstract:
In one embodiment of the present invention, a system and method may be provided for authoritative validation of mobile service permissions. The system and method may include receiving a preemption request from a first responder to preempt non-emergency communications. Determining whether the first responder is authorized to preempt communications. Prioritizing communications from the first responder, if the first responder is authorized to preempt communications. Alternatively the first responder may be notified if the first responder is not authorized to preempt communications.
Abstract:
An apparatus can be assembled between a pump and a motor driving the pump for a measuring torque and speed. The apparatus can include a housing having a motor attachment port and a pump attachment port. A primary coil is supported by the housing. A shaft has a first outer end and second outer end and an inner portion located within the housing. The first and second outer ends are connectible to a motor and a pump to suspend the shaft between the motor and the pump only by the outer ends of the shaft. A strain gauge transducer component is operably associated with the shaft. A secondary induction coil is mounted on the shaft and is located sheathed within the primary coil for providing power to the strain gauge transducer component. A wireless output of readings from the strain gauge transducer component is provided.
Abstract:
A method for managing bandwidth to a user. A selection of a profile is received from a plurality of profiles. The profile is selected to allocate bandwidth to a user. The selection of the profile for allocating bandwidth to the user through a connection is determined. The bandwidth is allocated to the connection in response to determining the profile provides for a bandwidth reconfiguration.
Abstract:
An embodiment of a method for filtering a digital media file includes receiving a selection of a first maturity level, and receiving a media content rating table including at least one media rating entry. Each media rating entry includes a location indicator indicating a predetermined portion of the digital media file and a maturity rating indicator corresponding to a maturity rating of the predetermined portion. The method further includes receiving the digital media file, and modifying at least one predetermined portion of the digital media file if the indicated maturity rating of the at least one predetermined portion is greater than the selected first maturity level to produce a first modified digital media file.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing a user of communications services with free market based pricing may include providing for communications over one of multiple network paths serviced by multiple respective communications service providers via at least one communications network. One of the network paths over which to communicate based on current pricing from the multiple communications service providers may be selected and communications may be performed over the selected network path.
Abstract:
A closure valve for a container is disclosed. The container has a cap region defining a substantially tubular channel through which contents of a container can exit. The valve has a body portion (20) housed within the channel and moveable between a closed position, which prevents flow of contents, and an open position which allows flow. Internal pressure within a container, acts to cause movement to the open position.A head portion (28) of the body portion (20) seals the outer aperture of the channel when in the closed position.A flange (21) is located within and spans the channel, whereby excess pressure within the container acts on the flange (21) to move the body portion to an open position, in order to allow fluid contents to pass therethrough, the flange includes one or more apertures. Moreover, the closure valve includes one or more resilient elements (30) operably connected to the valve body portion (20) and biased to retain the body portion (20) in the channel closing position.
Abstract:
A method for expanding a data connection. A first user selection of a first profile is received from a plurality of profiles. The first profile selected by the user is implemented. A determination of a current time is made. Bandwidth available to the user is increased through a data connection in response to determining that the first profile allows for the bandwidth increase at the current time. A second user selection of a second profile is selected from the plurality of profiles. The second profile being implemented to adjust the bandwidth available to the user.
Abstract:
The present application relates to techniques for handling the execution of a computer software program comprising a plurality of distinct program components. In particular, the application describes techniques relating to the interaction between distinct components of a computer program and seeks to allow program components to execute with a high degree of determinism. An execution environment is described which is operable such that the execution of one or more components of a computer program is carried out in a plurality of sequential frames of execution, wherein the execution environment is further operable to: i) allow communication between one said component and another said component in different frames of execution; andii) to prevent communication between one said component and another said component in the same frame of execution. A debugger which utilizes the execution environment is also described.
