Patent number: 8107457Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for permitting a mobile terminal having multiple, heterogeneous network connections (e.g., multiple wired or wireless transceivers of various types) to set up and maintain virtual connections over multiple networks to either the same or to multiple destinations. The mobile terminal can “load-share” traffic, i.e., it can distribute segments of traffic over a full set of heterogeneous networks, significantly improving the reliability and availability of communications. In a first embodiment, a mobile terminal is configured with multiple radio frequency (RF) transceivers. Operating system software is provided for dynamically establishing and maintaining traffic flow for user applications over multiple communications paths, and for automatically adapting to variations in the networking environment, application traffic flow requirements, end user preferences, or mobility.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2009Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: The Trustees of Stevens Institute of TechnologyInventors: Patrick E. White, Nicolas Girard

Patent number: 7046814Abstract: The invention concerns an online low frequency amplifying interface operating in automatic cutting feed, particularly designed for multimedia computers. It concerns a impedance adapting device produced around an electronic tube. It can be arranged between a source transmitting low frequency signals and a receiver. The invention is characterised in that it comprises an low frequency amplifier sub-part having high impedance at the source whereto it is connected, and having a low impedance at the receiver whereto it is connected next. The high voltage power supply of the anodes of the low frequency device is produced by a working high frequency automatic cutting feed regulator feeding a voltage amplifying device. The automatic cutting feed regulator operates in direct current low voltage. The inventive device is particularly designed for sound boards and for sources of hi-fi installations, whether incorporated or not.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2002Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Inventor: Nicolas Girard
