    Abstract: A method for initiating or recovering a media-on-demand session in a distributed media-on-demand network consisting of N streaming nodes (203 . . . 204), the method having: a. a first step wherein a client device (201) sends a setup request (251; 256) to a highly available redirector device (221) to request initiation or recovery of said session; b. a second step wherein the redirector device (221) selects a streaming node (203; 204) for the session; and c. a third step wherein the redirector device (221) instructs the client device (201) to use the selected media streaming node (203; 204) for that session. A further distinctive feature is that the client device (201) requests media delivery from the selected media-streaming node either from the beginning (for initiation) or from the last position (for recovery).

    Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code to aggregate data. Data is parsed for a behavior tag assigned to a portion of the data. In response to detecting a behavior tag, a determination is made as to whether a policy is associated with the behavior tag. The policy associated with a behavior tag defines how the portion of the data assigned to the behavior tag is to be aggregated. The portion of the data is aggregated using the policy associated with the behavior tag.

    Abstract: A message system having a wall with opposite first and second sides. The wall has at least one of (a) a mirrored surface which is capable of producing a discernible, reflective image of an object placed at the first side of the wall, and (b) a blocking surface which substantially obstructs viewing of an object at the second side of the wall through the wall from the first side of the wall. The message system further includes a message generator capable of making a message viewable from the first side of the wall through at least a part of the wall.

    Abstract: A headrest assembly that includes a head support connected to a rail that is adjustably mounted to a housing so that the headrest assembly is capable of moving between a use position and a stow position. A lock member engages the rail in the use position and operably disengages the rail to initiate the movement from the use position to the stow position. Specifically, the rail is biased to a stow position so that disengaging the lock member from the rail moves the headrest assembly from the use position to the stow position. The headrest assembly is also coordinated into a seat assembly such that the movement of a seatback from a use position to a stow position concurrently causes the headrest assembly to move from the use position to the stow position.

    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating a consistent point-in-time copy (PITC). A data provider offers access to data by one or more clients. A client issues a PITC request for a set of data to the data provider, or the provider initiates its own request. The data provider instructs one or more clients, particularly clients accessing the set of data, to flush any pending updates involving the files. The clients acknowledge the flush request, flush their data, and notify the data provider when their flushes are complete. Post-consistency updates are deferred (e.g., using a write-aside buffer). If a client fails to acknowledge the flush request or notify of flush completion, the data provider may abort the PITC or continue because the data may not be consistent or consistency may not be assured. If not aborted, the PITC may be marked to indicate that it is incomplete.

    Abstract translation: 用于促进一致的时间点复制(PITC)的系统和方法。 数据提供者提供一个或多个客户端对数据的访问。 客户端向数据提供者发出一组数据的PITC请求,或者提供者发起自己的请求。 数据提供者指示一个或多个客户端,特别是访问该组数据的客户端,以刷新涉及文件的任何未决更新。 客户端确认刷新请求,刷新其数据,并在其刷新完成时通知数据提供者。 后期一致性更新被推迟(例如,使用写入缓冲区)。 如果客户端无法确认刷新请求或通知刷新完成,则数据提供者可能会中止PITC或继续,因为数据可能不一致或一致性可能无法保证。 如果没有中止,PITC可能被标记为表示它是不完整的。

    Abstract: A method of obtaining positional information about individual wireless devices a1-a16, r1-r125 within a wireless ad-hoc network including a plurality of position determining devices r1-r125 which include means for estimating the distance between themselves and other similar devices which are within range. The method includes the steps of: calculating the hypothetical distance between a respective node's estimated position and the estimated position of each of its neighbouring devices whose broadcast estimated position has been received and whose distance from the respective node has been measured comparing the calculated hypothetical distance with the measured distance; modifying the respective node's estimated position so as to reduce an error function dependent upon the difference between the hypothetical and measured distances and periodically resetting the respective node's estimated location to a new position in a manner which does not seek to reduce the error function within a single iteration so as to avoid the location from getting stuck in a local minimum value of the error function.
