Abstract: A device for pre-positioning a profile clamp for connecting line end pieces. The device has a bridge element of a profile clamp and a flange element on one of the line end pieces. The bridge element is designed to connect two clamp portions of the profile clamp along a bridge direction. The bridge element has a finger that extends away from the bridge element at least partly transversely to the bridge direction and has a free end portion. The flange element comprises a recess for receiving the free end portion. The recess blocks a movement of the free end portion along a circumferential direction of the flange element.

Abstract: This invention relates to a mouthpiece configured for engaging a snorkel or a first and/or second SCUBA diving regulator having at least one internal receiving chamber formed in at least one of the opposing bite wings and configured to receive and retain a fluid or gel therein, whereby an effective amount of the fluid or gel may be selectively introduced through at least one selectively sealable fluid delivery opening formed in one or more of the bite wings and/or formed in a side wall of the internal receiving chamber, whereas upon application of sufficient pressure or force by the teeth of the user, an effective amount of the fluid or gel flows into the user's mouth to overcome or substantially ameliorate the effects associated with salt mouth.

Abstract: A method comprising: receiving, by wireless sites connected to a terrestrial network, a set of media that includes a plurality of individual media, wherein each of the wireless sites includes a satellite antenna and satellite receiver via which the set of media is received from a broadcast transmission from a satellite; storing the set of media, wherein each of the wireless sites stores the set of media in a local edge proxy server of the wireless site; receiving request(s) for media from mobile station(s); accessing the requested media from the set of media stored in the local edge proxy server; receiving requests for retransmission of said media from said mobile station(s); determining if a first of said retransmission requests is identical to a prior retransmission request; and if said first retransmission request is identical to said prior retransmission request, determining whether said prior retransmission request has been fulfilled.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a content proxy in a wireless network. A set of media is provided to an edge proxy server located at a wireless site using satellite communications and stored by the edge proxy server independent of a local mobile station request for media in the set of media. Mobile stations can access live streams of media selected from the set of media by wireless communications with a wireless node and as mobile station move from one wireless site to another, the live media stream can be provided uninterrupted to the mobile station.

Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing digital satellite broadcast programs over multicast Internet Protocol (IP) networks are provided. A satellite receiver gateway receives a signal from a digital satellite broadcast and generates service information multicast packets that are transmitted over a multicast IP network. A device receives the service information multicast packets and generates a channel list or electronic program guide for a user. When a user selects a service from the channel list or electronic program guide the device sends a service request for the service towards the satellite receiver gateway. Either the satellite receiver gateway or a switch within the multicast IP network can then transmit the service in multicast IP packets to the requesting device.

Abstract: An extendable and retractable telescoping conveyor conveys parcels from a supply source to the interior of a freight trailer or other load body. The conveyor includes a pair of elongated conveyor sections which are oriented in overlying relation when in retracted position. The lower conveyor section is extended longitudinally in relation to the upper conveyor section when in an extended position. Each conveyor section includes a declining conveyor structure extending from an elevated infeed end to a lower discharge end with each conveyor structure including a plurality of closely spaced, transversely extending parallel undriven rollers for movement of parcels or other items or materials by gravity throughout the length of the conveyor sections when the conveyor sections are in extended on partially extended relation.

Abstract: Analyzing data on a network. A method of analyzing data on a network is disclosed. The method includes capturing network traffic on the network during a period of time where the network traffic is captured as raw data into data blocks. The data blocks are streamed to a mass storage. The data blocks are organized into logical blocks on the mass storage. A set of data points are compiled. The data points are useful for defining information about the logical blocks. The data points include an offset defining a number of bytes into the captured data and datum headers including the number of frames into a logical block, number of bytes contained in the logical block and clock ticks since the initiation of capturing.

Abstract: Analyzing data on a network. Data captured on a network may be analyzed. Network traffic is captured during a period of time where the network traffic is captured as raw data into logical blocks. Capturing is done at a network monitoring computer. Data points are compiled. The data points include an offset defining a number of bytes into the captured data and datum headers including the number of frames in the logical block, the number of bytes in the logical block, and clock ticks since the initiation of capturing. At a user computer remote from the network monitoring computer, a user is presented with a graphical user interface representation of the network traffic by graphing byte density over time in a capture histogram.

Abstract: Analyzing data on a network. At a network monitoring computer, network traffic is captured during a period of time. The network traffic is compiled into sections. Information about the sections including, start time, end time, number of frames in the section and bytes/sec are compiled. At a user computer remote from the network monitoring computer, a histogram is stored. The histogram includes for substantially all of the captured network traffic, start time, end time, total frames and total bytes. The histogram also includes for each of the sections, the information about the sections.

Abstract: An electrical device such as a lamp is energized and deenergized remotely by a system in which pulses of different duration are transmitted to a receiver unit capable of discriminating between the length of the pulses in order to switch between an "on" mode and an "off" mode. A battery energizing the receiver unit is recharged by a photovoltaic cell. Advantageously associated with the battery charging circuit is an ambient lights sensing device capable of interrupting current from the battery to a load whenever the battery is being charged by the photovoltaic cell.
