摘要： Methods of making vacuum insulation products are provided. One method includes providing an insulative mixture comprising an insulative material, such as silica, with a radiation absorbent material, such as carbon black, and applying electromagnetic radiation such as microwave radiation to the insulative mixture to dry the insulative mixture. The insulative mixture can then be placed into an enclosure and sealed within the enclosure. The enclosure can be evacuated before sealing to reduce the pressure within the enclosure to below atmospheric pressure. The use of radiation such as microwave radiation to dry the insulative mixture advantageously reduces the time required to fabricate the vacuum insulation product and can reduce the pressure that is obtained in the vacuum insulation product, thereby increasing thermal performance of the product.

摘要： A device and a method are disclosed including a unified format medical information and teleconferencing service (UFMITS) and client devices that communicate with such service, the UFMITS configured to obtain and view different format medical data, such as high resolution medical imaging data, convert the different formats to a unified format, and make such data available to the client devices via a single user interface. In operation, a medical agent, such as a surgeon, connects to the UFMITS, via a network, and requests medical data for a particular patient. The UFMITS sends medical information available about the particular patient to the medical agent in the unified format, enabling the medical agent to view all pertinent medical data using a single software interface. Furthermore, the medical agent may teleconference with other medical agents, via the UFMITS, to discuss such downloaded medical data, which are simultaneously downloaded to the other medical agents.

摘要： A Wireless LAN Context Control Protocol (WLCCP) is used to establish and manage a wireless network topology and securely manages the “operational context” for mobile stations in a campus network. The WLCCP registration protocol can automatically create and delete links in the network, securely distribute operational context, and reliably establish Layer 2 forwarding paths on wireless links. A single infrastructure node is established as the central control point for each subnet, and enables APs and MNs to select the parent node that provides the “least-cost path” to a backbone LAN. Context messages provide a general-purpose transport for context and management information. WLCCP “Trace” messages facilitate network diagnostic tools. Ethernet or UDP/IP encapsulation can be used for WLCCP messages. Ethernet encapsulation is employed for intra-subnet (e.g. AP-to-AP or AP-to-SCM) WLCCP messages. IP encapsulation is used for inter-subnet WLCCP messages and may also be used for intra-subnet WLCCP messages.

摘要： A method and system for handling roaming mobile nodes in a wireless network. The system uses a Subnet Context Manager to store current Network session keys, security policy and duration of the session (e.g. session timeout) for mobile nodes, which is established when the mobile node is initially authenticated. Pairwise transit keys are derived from the network session key. The Subnet Context Manager handles subsequent reassociation requests. When a mobile node roams to a new access point, the access point obtains the network session key from the Subnet Context Manager and validates the mobile node by computing a new pairwise transient key from the network session key.
