Abstract: A system monitors first traffic and identifies associations between applications that generated or received the traffic and parameters such as domain names, a remote host, and a local host referenced in the traffic. Subsequent traffic is monitored and determined to be generated by or addressed to an application according to such parameters in the subsequent traffic, such as remote host, local host, domain name, or port number. The subsequent traffic is associated with an application without requiring deep packet inspection (DPI). In particular, an application may be associated with a session based on evaluation of a single packet of the session.

Abstract: A system and method may provide an exchange service for providing the price of wireless minutes to wallet applications and other client applications. The system may obtain pricing information for the wireless minutes and provide the pricing information to a wallet application. The pricing information may be provided through a rate server that subscribed to receive the pricing information. The rate server typically also provides exchange rates for currencies for use at wallet applications that are communicably coupled to the rate server. By providing the pricing information to wallet applications, wireless service providers may variably price their wireless services. End users may be able to obtain real-time prices of the wireless services and purchase such services directly using payment accounts associated with a wallet application. For example, a Bitcoin wallet may be used to obtain real-time prices of the wireless services and purchase such services using Bitcoins.

The first processor communicates with the second processor. The traffic data includes packet information. The first storage device is a high speed memory only accessible to the first processor. The second storage device is a high capacity memory accessible to multiple processors. The first status information is a permitted bit that indicates if the traffic data within the queue of data is permitted to be transmitted.

Abstract: Methods, processes, apparatuses and computer programs are described herein whereby the owner of a website has the website hosted by a hoster as host who provides the owner with product bearing the hosted website address. Public distribution of the product per a hoster allocation formula design prompts a product acquired by a recipient to access the hosted website in which products, services and agendas as content are displayed for consideration. Activities including ordering, manufacturing, allocating, accessing and others provide data that is recorded and analyzed by the hoster. Centralizing data collection by the host provides evaluation means and metrics to improve the time, nature and place to allocate product, the initial selection of product type itself, and even improve website content based on such empirical evidence of website success.

Abstract: Disclosed is a one-way valve and sealing assemblage wherein an affixed curved pliant film device, a compressible spring, and a reciprocal curved channel surface automatically work cooperatively to permit forward material flow above a predetermined fluid pressure threshold yet check reverse material backflow at any pressure.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the transfer of organic compounds from a first liquid phase to a gaseous phase and from said gaseous phase to a second liquid phase, comprising a packed stripping column (2), a housing (5), a shell (1), a means for introducing the gaseous phase at the bottom end of said packed stripping column (2), a distributor (4) for distributing said first liquid phase onto said packed stripping column (2), causing said first liquid phase to trickle down said packed stripping column (2) counter-currently to the flow of the gas phase and causing the gas stream leaving said packed stripping column (2) at its top end to have a higher content of organic compounds than the gaseous phase introduced at the bottom end of said packed stripping column (2), one or more ducts (9/26) allowing the gaseous phase leaving said packed stripping column (2) to flow downwards to the bottom end of a packed scrubber (3) enclosed in a housing (25), a distributor (12) on top of said packed scrubber (3) ca

Abstract: This patent describes a novel method for DNA sequencing. A DNA hybrid is created such that one strand contains nucleotides (A, G, C, T/U) bound to different FRET acceptor fluorophores that emits a distinct, differentiable wavelength. A DNA scanning protein carrying a FRET donor fluorophore is also added. A laser with a wavelength that excites the donor molecule irradiates the reaction. As the protein complex passes over a nucleotide on the DNA strand, a FRET reaction occurs between the donor and acceptor fluorophores. The acceptor fluorophore will emit a distinct wavelength which is detected and correlated to a specific nucleotide. As the DNA scanning protein moves along the DNA molecule the entire sequence of nucleotides can be determined by correlating the wavelengths emitted with the specific nucleotide associated with it.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for constructing a backup route from a source node around an adjacent component. The source node derives a first set of nodes reachable from it without traversing the adjacent component and a second set of nodes from which a neighbor node of adjacent components is reachable without traversing the adjacent component. The source node then constructs a backup route via an intermediate node in the intersection of the first and second sets.

Abstract: A satellite communications system provides a communications service to a mobile terminal on which different communications applications may be run. Calls are set up between any of the applications via a satellite to a network management centre which provides different service adaptors which adapt the calls to different types of service provided over terrestrial networks, such as telephony, facsimile, internet or ATM services. The bandwidth allocated to each call over the satellite link may be varied during the call according to demand either from the relevant application or from the network management centre. Multiple calls may be connected concurrently to or from different applications running on the mobile terminal. A maximum bandwidth is allocated to each call. Efficient use is thereby made of the limited bandwidth available over the satellite, according to the instantaneous bandwidth requirements of different applications.
