摘要： A wireless mobile router (140) includes wireless network interfaces (202) and (218) attached to a network controller (142). The wireless network interface (202) communicates with a cellular network (110) to access cellular network services. The wireless network interface (218) and the network controller (142) comprise a WLAN (170) or PAN (180) network router hosting a plurality of client devices. Each client device may access a wide area network, WAN over the cellular network. The wireless mobile router (140) is configured to exchange various cellular network signals with various WLAN and PAN networks. The wireless mobile router (140) is particularly suitable for use in a vehicle or at locations where WAN access is not readily available.

摘要： A wireless two-way communications apparatus (700) having a radio resource manager (706) is configured and arranged to effect one or more modes of operation (203, 204, 206, and 207) as a function, at least in part, of whether the apparatus is presently operating in a power saving mode of operation (201) and/or is presently supporting an active plesiochronous communication session (202 and 205). Pursuant to one approach, when the apparatus is operating in a power saving mode of operation and presently supports such a communication session and when the apparatus further determines (301) that a wireless access point beacon or supplemental beacon is at least largely coincident with a scheduled active window of that communication session, the apparatus can determine (302) whether to facilitate rescheduling a next monitoring of the beacon or supplemental beacon and/or altering the scheduled active window itself to thereby render the beacon or supplemental beacon monitorable by the apparatus.

摘要： An irrigation controller (101a, 101b) includes a receiver (105a, 105b) and a processor. The processor is configured to facilitate receiving, in accordance with the receiver, an indication of rainfall which is forecast to fall on one or more locations (109a, 109b). Further, the processor is programmed to determine a minimum allowable water level and an optimal water level at the locations (109a, 109b). The processor is also programmed to determine water available at the locations (109a, 109b). In addition, the processor is programmed to determine an amount of water to be delivered so that the water available and the forecast rainfall exceed the minimum allowable water level, and avoid exceeding the optimal water level.

摘要： An apparatus and method for maintaining a circular FIFO (first-in, first-out) queue in an I/O (input-output) subsystem of a computer system such as a server, workstation, or storage machine. The queue is coupled to a bypass circuit, used to provide access to data items out of the order in which they were stored in the queue, thus bypassing the latency inherent in retrieving the items from the queue. Control logic maintains write and read pointers indicating locations in the queue for writing and reading data items. The write pointer is incremented upon every data event to the queue, thereby maintaining a history of data that has been written to the queue, which is useful for diagnostic purposes. A history flag is maintained to indicate whether the write pointer has wrapped around the addresses in the queue, indicating whether all data items in the queue are valid for diagnostic purposes.

摘要： A hand held pole for skiing or other activities is disclosed. The pole includes a removable handle with a clasp securing it, at its lower end, to a pole shaft. Release of the clasp allows the handle to be adjusted longitudinally on the shaft. Complete removal of the handle allows the access to the interior of the shaft and allows the handle to be used with other shafts. Items may be stored in the shaft or in the handle. The handle includes a removable cap for this purpose. Removal of the cap also allows a grip on the handle to be removed.

摘要： A volume provisioning advisor for managing storage allocation in a plurality of virtual storage subsystems is disclosed. A request for data storage and workload requirements is received from a user. Performance information for storage controllers and managed disks within a virtualization engine is received. Resource groups are defined based on the received performance information and available managed disks, and their utilizations tracked. Resource group performance within the virtualization engine is predicted based on the user workload requirements and existing or historical resource group utilization. Storage is allocated to one or more managed disks within the virtualization engine based on predicted resource group performance.

摘要： In the present invention, the subscriber unit (200) obtains a set of access point identifiers and measurement opportunity information for each access point identifier. A first measurement is performed on a first access point identified from the set of access point identifiers. A current timer value is determined after completing the step of performing, and a second access point identified from the set of access point identifiers in which to perform a second measurement is selected. Selecting the second access point is based on at least the measurement opportunity information for the second access point in relation to the current timer value.

摘要： The invention disclosed herein provides a replaceable edge cassette for skis or a snowboard. The skis have a top, a base, a core, two sides, and edges along the sides of the base. The cassette includes an edge portion removably secured adjacent the base of the ski. The edge portion has an attachment portion for securing the edge portion to the ski and a peripheral portion for contact with the surface to be ridden. The cassette includes a sidewall portion secured to the edge portion. A fastener is connectable through the sidewall portion to be secured to the ski adjacent the core. Base material is also secured beneath the removable edge portion so as to be adjacent the main base portion when the cassette is secured to the side of the ski. The edge cassette is removable and replaceable by removing the fasteners secured through the sidewall. The edge alone may also be separately replaceable by removing it from the sidewall portion.

摘要： To allow a user to access a public data network from a region of service operated by a visited access provider, the visited provider is supplied with an identity of a credit provider. The user is redirected to the credit provider, resulting in establishment of a temporary connection with the credit provider. During this temporary connection, the user supplies original user credentials and, in return, receives substitute user credentials if the original user credentials are valid. The substitute user credentials are supplied to the visited provider, which proceeds to have the user authenticated by the credit provider on the basis of the substitute user credentials. In this way, the visited provider authenticates the user with the credit provider before allowing the user to access the public data network, but a secure exchange of the original user credentials between the user and the credit provider prevents unauthorized access to this information by the visited provider.
