摘要:
In an embodiment, a communications device exchanges, between first and second access terminals, higher priority data in association with a communication session of a first type and also lower priority data in association with a communication session of a second type. If the communications device determines a transition of the first access terminal to a lower data-rate environment, the communication device reduces a size of data packets exchanged between the first access terminal and an application server for the communication session of the second type. If the communications device determines an upcoming data packet is a low-data packet (e.g., a silence packet), the low-data packet is suppressed. If the communications device determines that the first access terminal has attempted transmission of a set of last or near-last data packets in the sequence, the communications device re-transmits the set of last or near-last data packets without waiting for ACKs.

A noninvasive analyzer apparatus and method of use thereof is described using a sample mapping phase to establish one or more analyzer/software parameters used in a subsequent individual and/or group specific data collection phase. For example, in the sample mapping phase distance between incident and collected light is varied as a function of time for collected noninvasive spectra. Spectra collected in the sample mapping phase are analyzed to determine a physiological property of the subject, such as dermal thickness, hydration, collagen density, epidermal thickness, and/or subcutaneous fat depth. Using the physiological property or measure thereof, the analyzer is optically reconfigured for the individual to yield subsequent spectra having enhanced features for noninvasive analyte property determination. Similarly, in the mapping and/or collection phase, the incident light is varied in time in terms of any of: sample probe position, incident light solid angle, incident light angle, depth of focus, energy, and/or intensity.

Methods and arrangements for performing synchronized collective operations. Communication calls are accepted from at least two distinct processor groups. Edge disjoint spanning paths are created over a collective comprising the processor groups, and the spanning paths are assigned to the processor groups to facilitate communication within each processor group.

In an embodiment, an access terminal includes at least first, second and third functional layers, whereby the first functional layer (e.g., a MAC layer) attempts to a data packet on behalf of the third functional layer (e.g., an application-layer) to an application server via a serving network. If the first functional layer receives an ACK that the serving network has received the data packet, the third functional layer is notified of the ACK. If the first functional layer determines the attempt to transmit the data packet to the serving network has failed, the third functional layer is notified of the transmission failure. In another embodiment, during set-up of a traffic channel (TCH) for a communication session, the access terminal transmits a message to the application server over a signaling port that includes both application-layer and transport-layer connection information to facilitate set-up of a data port for the communication session.

Systems and techniques for analyzing information gathered by multiple analytical techniques. In one aspect, a method includes receiving analytical information, gathered by multiple analytical techniques, regarding a sample, receiving expectations regarding a sample parameter, and estimating a value of the sample parameter based on the analytical information and the expectations regarding the sample parameter.

Monocrystalline semiconductor lattices with a buried porous semiconductor layer having different chemical composition. Also monocrystalline semiconductor superlattices with a buried porous semiconductor layers having different chemical composition than that of its monocrystalline semiconductor superlattice. Lattices of alternating layers of monocrystalline silicon and porous silicon-germanium have been produced. These single crystal lattices have been fabricated by epitaxial growth of Si and Si-Ge layers followed by patterning into mesa structures. The mesa structures are stain etched resulting in porosification of the Si-Ge layers with a minor amount of porosification of the monocrystalline Si layers. Thicker Si-Ge layers produced in a similar manner emitted visible light at room temperature.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for managing cropland comprising the steps of: (1) wirelessly linking a remote sensing platform to a ground based communication system; (2) spatially resolving into a set of locations a ground matrix area using optics of the remote sensing platform; (3) optically measuring for each member of the set of locations: first reflected cropland radiation in a visible range using the remote sensing platform, second reflected cropland radiation in a near-infrared range, and emitted radiation in an infrared range of 2500 to 12,000 nm; (4) generating a crop health data set for each set of locations using the combined remote sensing data; (5) repeating the steps of spatially resolving and optically measuring to periodically update the crop health data set; and (6) communicating the specific crop management recommendations to a farm treatment system.
摘要:
An analyzer apparatus and method of use thereof is configured to dynamically interrogate a sample. For example, an analyzer using light interrogates a tissue sample using a temporal resolution system on a time scale of less than about one hundred nanoseconds. Optionally, near-infrared photons are introduced to a sample with a known illumination zone to detection zone distance allowing calculation of parameters related to photon pathlength in tissue and/or molar absorptivity of an individual or group through the use of the speed of light and/or one or more indices of refraction. Optionally, more accurate estimation of tissue properties are achieved through use of: knowledge of incident photon angle relative to skin, angularly resolved detector positions, anisotropy, skin temperature, environmental information, information related to contact pressure, blood glucose concentration history, and/or a skin layer thickness, such as that of the epidermis and dermis.

In an embodiment, objects are downloaded to an access terminal (AT) based on which window(s) are prominently displayed on the AT. In another embodiment, objects are downloaded to the AT based on a set of user-specified object download priorities. In another embodiment, a portion of a streaming data session to the AT is de-prioritized in response to a transition of a display of the AT from a first set of windows associated with the streaming data session to a second set of windows associated with a different session. For example, the de-prioritization can result in the portion (e.g., a video-portion of a audio and video conference) being omitted or reduced. In another embodiment, in response to the AT entering a limited environment, objects being downloaded to the AT can be dynamically altered to conform with the AT's limited environment.
