Abstract:
A system, apparatus and method for integrating policy-based technologies, including SLA management technologies, into an electronic utility (eUtility) infrastructure that supports automated provisioning of On Demand Service Environments (ODSEs) are provided. ODSEs embody the applications and computing resource services a subscribing customer requests. The system, apparatus and method augment the capabilities of eUtilities by defining the eUtilities in terms of policies that make them more customizable, and more responsive to the business objectives of the various parties that they serve.
Abstract:
Provided is an food packing material, manufacturing method and mold thereof having hydrophobicity including a number of columns formed in one side of food packing material. The disclosure may provide food packing material, manufacturing method and mold thereof in which an amount of contents off a wall of the food packing material may be minimized by hydrophobicity.
Abstract:
Mechanisms are provided for broadcasting data to a plurality of receiver devices. A data broadcast transmission rate and a level of error correction to be used when broadcasting data are determined based on prior feedback received from the plurality of receiver devices. The feedback comprises channel condition information specifying conditions of one or more connections of a channel over which data was previously broadcast to the receiver devices. Data to be broadcast to the plurality of receivers is encoded in accordance with the determined level of error correction. The encoded data is broadcast at the determined data broadcast transmission rate over the channel to the plurality of receiver devices.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for assigning gateways for heterogeneous wireless mobile networks. A method includes exchanging routing and connectivity information between a plurality of nodes. Each node is respectively included in a corresponding one of a plurality of mobile ad hoc networks. The information excludes global positioning satellite information. The method further includes determining, for a given node, whether a particular set of gateway functionalities of the given node are redundant with respect to one or more other nodes, based on topology information derived from the information. The method also includes dynamically assigning the given node as a gateway or a non-gateway by respectively turning on or turning off the particular set of gateway functionalities of the given node when the particular set of gateway functionalities of the given node are respectively determined to be non-redundant or redundant with respect to the one or more other nodes.
Abstract:
A viscometer for measuring the viscosity of fluid. The viscometer includes: a first chamber and a second chamber separated from the first chamber; a micro channel connecting the first chamber to the second chamber; a first thin film disposed over the first chamber and a second thin film disposed over the second chamber; and a first piezoelectric film disposed over the first thin film and a second piezoelectric film disposed over the second thin film. At least one of the first and second piezoelectric films has a hexagonal shape if a longest distance between a center and an edge of the piezoelectric film is longer than a threshold range and a circular shape if the distance is shorter than the threshold range.
Abstract:
Content delivery by a network node is optimized. The network node is communicatively coupled between multiple end user devices and at least one content service provider. A request for a media streaming service available from the content service provider is intercepted from a first requestor device. It is determined if the media streaming service is registered for delivery optimization based on at least one service rule specific to the media streaming service. It is determined if a second requestor device is currently receiving the media streaming service from the content service provider. In response to the media streaming service being received by the second requestor device, delivery optimization of the media streaming service is performed by replicating the media streaming service for delivery to the first requestor device. The replicated media streaming service is sent to the first requestor device.
Abstract:
Spectrum access for Internet of things (IOT) applications including receiving information about expected use by a primary user of a spectrum band in a radio frequency spectrum. The spectrum band is classified into at least two working modes based on the expected use. The spectrum band is sensed to determine a current access pattern of the primary user. Based on the classifying and the sensing, one of the working modes is selected as a current working mode of the primary user. Transmissions are scheduled on the spectrum band using a current schedule that is responsive to the current working mode of the primary user. If the current working mode of the primary user changes, the sensing, selecting, scheduling, and determining whether the current working mode has changed are re-performed. Otherwise, the transmission scheduling and determining if the current working mode has changed are re-performed.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Techniques for content management in wireless mobile networks are provided. In one aspect, a method of managing content stored on a plurality of mobile nodes in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is provided. The method includes the following step. The content is bound to one or more geographical locations such that, at any given time, the content is stored on at least one of the nodes at the geographical location.
