In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention the microfluidic mixer (110) has multilevel active cantilever structures.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and method for session transfer from a public switched telephone network (PSTN) device to a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) device. The system comprises of a PSTN device (100), at least two SIP devices (200, 400), a media gateway (300) and at least one SIP server (500). The media gateway (300) further includes a transfer module (310), wherein the transfer module (310) is configured to receive a request for a session transfer from a PSTN device (100) to a targeted SIP device (400) during a communication session, and obtain an address of the targeted SIP device (400) for the session transfer.
Abstract:
A method and system for interfacing with firmware device portal (520) via web services is provided in the present invention wherein application developers use single interface through web services provided to communicate with any firmware device portal (520). The approach provided in the present invention provides capability to convert and group existing device firmware portal as web services functions. The use of one single interface through web services to interact with any device portal (520) enables the application developer to develop independently from the device manufacturer without updating their application with every new version of the device (firmware updates).
Abstract:
Secured i2-keys management relates to a system and method for managing keys in Quantum Mobile Access Verification (Q-MAV) to ensure integrity of keys and continuity of operation.
