Abstract: System and method of determining active/standby statuses of an intermediary device with respect to a logic group based on a user defined switchover policy. A user is allowed to configure a template to determine respective health levels for multiple sets of delivery resources. Each set of resources associated with a function engine residing in a respective intermediary device. The multiple sets of resources, in conjunction with the associated function engines, are equivalently operable to provide the same service function. The template may include user-specified events and respective weight factors. The specified events are monitored and a health score is dynamically derived for each delivery resource based on the template. Based on an updated health score rank with respect to the service function, a switchover may automatically occur from an intermediary device of a lower health score to another device with a higher health score.

Abstract: Surface conduction in porous media can drastically alter the stability and morphology of electrodeposition at high rates, above the diffusion-limited current. Above the limiting current, surface conduction inhibits growth in the positive membrane and produces irregular dendrites, while it enhances growth and suppresses dendrites behind a deionization shock in the negative membrane. The discovery of uniform growth contradicts quasi-steady “leaky membrane” models, which are in the same universality class as unstable Laplacian growth, and indicates the importance of transient electro-diffusion or electro-osmotic dispersion. Shock electrodeposition could be exploited for high-rate recharging of metal batteries or manufacturing of metal matrix composite coatings.

Abstract: Methods and systems for device-to-device (D2D) communication between a first device and a second device. The first device receives a communication transmitted by the second device, where the communication is intended for another recipient other than the first device. The communication provides information for the first device to determine a preferred transmit sector to be used by the second device for the D2D communication.

As a receiver in the D2D communication, the first device receives data from the second device, transmitted on the preferred transmit sector. As a transmitter in the D2D communication, the first device transmits data to the second device on a preferred transmit sector identified in another communication received from the second device.

Abstract: An near field communication (NFC) radio frequency communication control method. The method includes: instructing, by a first NFC host by using a second message, an NFCC to terminate, according to the second message, a radio frequency communication process currently executed for a third NFC host after the first NFC receives a first message used to indicate that a second NFC host requests radio frequency communication and when the first NFC determines that the NFCC is currently in a non-idle state and a priority of the second NFC host is higher than a priority of the third NFC host, where the third NFC host is an NFC host corresponding to the radio frequency communication process currently executed by the NFCC. This effectively avoids the problem that a conflict occurs when multiple NFC hosts request radio frequency communication from an NFCC in an NFC multi-host architecture, thereby maintaining system running reliability.
