摘要:
Techniques for sending data in a packet-switched communications network include determining multiple subsets of adjacent network nodes of the network. The adjacent network nodes communicate without intervening network nodes with a particular network node through an interface on the particular network node. Each subset includes multiple adjacent network nodes. Subset definition data is sent through the interface. The subset definition data indicates which adjacent network nodes belong to which subset. Data for fewer than all adjacent network nodes in all subsets are sent by including, in a multicast data packet sent over the interface with a multicast destination address, subset identifier data that indicates a particular subset. When such data is received by a node, it is discarded unless the subset identifier matches the receiving node's subset identifier. Among other effects, this allows routing messages to be more efficiently sent to better performing neighboring network nodes.

A content delivery system and method are disclosed. A system incorporating teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a personal computer having a storage device. The personal computer may have a software application saved on the storage device. In practice, the application may be capable of directing the personal computer to communicatively couple with a network based resource and to initiate presentation of a graphical user interface (GUI) at the user computer system. In some cases, the GUI may act as a user interface for the network based resource. The system may also include a portable audio file player with a collection of locally saved instructions. The instructions may direct a processor of the player to maintain an updateable user interface that includes a menu of selectable icons and to modify the updateable user interface in connection with receiving an audio file from the personal computer.

A system and method are disclosed for monitoring the athletic performance of a user while also providing the user with entertainment such as an outputting of music. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a housing component at least partially defining an enclosure. A performance engine may be located within the enclosure and may utilize a signal from a motion sensor to generate a performance metric like current speed, distance traveled, or cadence. The system may also include an audio and/or a visual output mechanism such as a speaker assembly or a display device. The output mechanism may be capable of presenting the performance metric to a user.

A system and method are disclosed for monitoring and managing local area network activity. A system incorporating teachings of the present disclosure may include a housing component that at least partially defines an enclosure. A processor may be located within the enclosure, and an interface may assist in communicatively coupling the processor to a node of a wireline network. The system my also include a wireless local area networking module communicatively coupled to a memory and configured to communicate within a local coverage area using a proximal wireless protocol. The memory may store a messaging file that includes instructions to direct a wireless telephone processor to send a wireless messaging service message configured for delivery via a wide area wireless network to the wireless local area networking module using the proximal wireless protocol. The system may also include a message forwarding engine configured to output information representing the wireless messaging service message via the interface to the wireline network.

摘要:
A self-contained device for substance application and methods relating to the same are disclosed. An application device incorporating teachings of the present disclosure could have a first cavity and a second cavity at least partially defined by a support member. The support member may have attached applicators at its distal ends. A first substance may be located in the first cavity and a second substance may be located in the second cavity. The substances may be the same or different and may include 2-octyl cyanoacrylate and an antiseptic wash.
