Abstract: A computing device may include a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to receive a plurality of data streams from at least one data source to be relayed to different destinations on demand, where each data stream has a respective content identifier associated therewith. The processor may further determine when a first one of the data streams for a first destination shares identical data with a second one of the data streams for a second destination based upon the respective content identifiers associated therewith, and suspend relaying the second data stream to the second destination, and begin relaying the first data stream to the second destination, based upon the determination that the first and second data streams share identical data based upon the respective content identifiers associated therewith.

Abstract: Messages are delivered in a mobile network by creating a communication route between a source node and a destination node comprised of virtual routers, each virtual router being fixed to a particular geographical area and including a plurality of mobile nodes, each of the mobile nodes being available to forward a data packet on behalf of a virtual router, and each mobile node upon receiving a data packet sent over the communication route monitoring for forwarding of the data packet by another mobile node and, if such forwarding is not detected, the mobile node forwarding the data packet.

Abstract: An electronic item management and archival system for managing and archiving items. In some embodiments, each item includes at least one of image data, audio data, and video data. The system can include a server configured to receive items, archive at least one of the received items to an archive, and retrieve at least one of the archived items from the archive. In some embodiments, the server also includes architecture that supports a pool of threads promoting multiple, independent archive and retrieve operations concurrently.

Abstract: A parallel computer system is disclosed comprising a plurality of high level processors joined together using a cross-point or cross-bar switch. The system includes an adapter between each processor and the switch. Protocol processing to drive the switch, transfer pages and schedule transmissions between the processors is performed by the adapter. The protocol use the notion of typed or tagged buffer management that allows a client to bind the semantics of a message being sent or received. These semantics specify behaviors in the protocol when message packets depart or when they arrive.
