摘要:
A fully automated method of providing network services on demand is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request for download traffic from a user and beginning transmission of the download traffic to the user. The user is provided with the option of requesting better service level if required for an extra cost. If the user experiences poor service quality, the user then submits a service request by simply clicking a button. The NHCC then automatically identifies the customer traffic, determines the service parameters for the download traffic. With a global view of the existing network topology and conditions, the NHCC determines if the incoming service level request can be accommodated. If the network can be provisioned to accommodate the request, the NHCC sends traffic provisioning requests to Smart Nodes. The download traffic quality then improves thereby providing the customer with better quality of service. Thus, customers can request for better service levels on-demand with minimal knowledge of the existing network infrastructure.
摘要:
In a control system for a microprocessor, a power supply conductor is configured to supply the power requirements of the microprocessor, and a current-sensing power controller is coupled to the power supply conductor as well as to a thermal control input of the microprocessor. The current-sensing power controller is operable to assert the thermal control input of the microprocessor when current flow in the power supply conductor exceeds a threshold value.

A plurality of interchangeable access panels each adapted to be removably attached to a partially-assembled chassis to occupy at least a portion of a vacant region of an exterior wall. Also, each access panel comprises a configuration of at least one aperture each constructed and arranged to provide operational access to components housed in the chassis.

Systems and method to provide secure storage are disclosed. An example method includes establishing a secure tunnel between a storage device and an agent, transferring first data from the storage device to the agent via the secure tunnel, the secure tunnel to prevent software executing in an operating system from modifying the data, and identifying a data modification by comparing the first data to second data.

Managing audio of a device including transmitting a signal through a port of the device in response to an audio device coupling to the port, initializing an audio mixer of the device in response to detecting the signal, and configuring the audio mixer to manage audio transferred between the device and the audio device.

A connector assembly includes first and second sockets disposed on opposite sides of a housing and defining first and second insertion paths, respectively, for receiving a plug. A sliding keep-out member has first and second blocking surfaces. The keep-out member can move back and forth through the housing between first and second positions. In the first position, the first blocking surface blocks at least a portion of the first insertion path, but the second blocking surface clears the second insertion path. In the second position, the second blocking surface blocks at least a portion of the second insertion path, but the first blocking surface clears the first insertion path. Thus the connector assembly may receive plugs in either the first or the second socket, but not in both sockets simultaneously.
摘要:
A system for at least a partial underwriting of insurance policies is described. Various rules are created, along with a degree of satisfaction for each rule. Rules may be directed toward various insurance underwriting components (e.g., cholesterol levels, blood pressure, etc.). Based on the degree of satisfaction for each rule, a component may be assigned to a category. Based on the category for each component, the insurance application may be assigned an underwriting category.
摘要:
A process for at least a partial underwriting of insurance policies is described. Based on the similarity to previous insurance applications, a decision on the current request for underwriting may be made. This decision-making process represents an analogical approach to the placement of an insurance application to an underwriting category, whereby a given insurance application request is compared to previous requests.
