Abstract: A solution for dynamic packet filtering includes, at a network device, if an n-tuple of a packet matches an n-tuple filter, applying an action of the filter to the packet. If the packet has not been discarded as a result of the filter application, and if the packet is identified, by using payload portion, as a network application associated with a filter policy, an n-tuple filter is generated based on the packet. If the application ID of the packet is not associated with a filter policy, the packet is forwarded to the network application.

Abstract: An educational card game, designed primarily for children. A designated deck of cards are broken into several sets, with the respective sets designated on the backs of the cards. The front of the cards has at least one colored symbol. The cards, and therefore symbols on the cards, can be designated as number, letter shape, image or other symbol, depending on what the child is to team from that particular deck of cards. The cards are meant to be played as one of a number of games, so that players can learn while having fun. In one embodiment, a player with a deck of cards attempts to match either the color or symbol of a card atop a “play” pile.

Abstract: A flow tagging technique includes tagging a data flow at a plurality of points in the data flow. For example, the data flow can be tagged at a socket and at a proxy manager API. By tagging the data flow at multiple points, it becomes possible to map network service usage activities to the appropriate initiating applications.

Abstract: A wireless communication device comprising: one or more network modems enabling the wireless communication device to communicate over a first wireless network; one or more network modems enabling the wireless communication device to communicate with two or more end-point devices over a second wireless network; one or more processors configured to execute one or more instructions; and memory coupled to the one or more processors and configured to provide the one or more processors with the one or more instructions. The one or more instructions, when executed by the processors, cause processors to: establish a first connection between the wireless communication device and a first end-point device; establish a second connection between the wireless communication device and a second end-point device; apply a first control to traffic transmitted by or to the first end-point device; and apply a second control to traffic transmitted by or to the second end-point device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for providing access to information of potential interest to a user. Closed-caption information is analyzed to find related information on the Internet. User interactions with a TV which receives programming including closed-caption information are monitored to determine user interests or topics.

Abstract: A method performed by a network system communicatively coupled to a device over a wireless access network, the method comprising transmitting a traffic flow to, or receiving the traffic flow from, a software application on the device, the traffic flow comprising one or more related data transfers over the wireless access network, the traffic flow being routed between the software application and the network system through an assisting element comprising a control application or a proxy agent on the device, wherein the traffic flow has a characteristic associating the traffic flow with the first software application, the characteristic preserving the association between the traffic flow and the software application when the traffic flow is routed by the one or more assisting elements; identifying the characteristic; and implementing at least a portion of a control, accounting, or notification service policy based on the identified characteristic.

Abstract: A wireless end-user device contains a wireless modem, a network stack configurable to receive and transmit network data via the wireless modem, a media service manager, and a service classification agent. The media service manager manages network data transfers for media objects as requested by multiple applications. Even though the media service manager manages the network data transfers, the service classification agent provides a capability to associate network data usage for the network data transfers with the applications that requested the service from the media service manager.

Abstract: A method and system for testing of base stations of a mobile telecommunications network having a plurality of cells. A base station at its antenna is connected to a testing system by a radio frequency cable. Mobile terminals of a cell are emulated. The mobile terminals transmit data and sends/receives calls within the cell via the base station. A separate channel emulator is provided for each emulated mobile terminal.

Abstract: A wrist rest apparatus for supporting a user's wrist while receiving a manicure and holding the user's hand in a desired manner for the manicure. The wrist rest apparatus comprises a top console rotatably attached to a bottom console. The top console and the bottom consoles are defined by a solid plastic, semi-circular member having centrally disposed apertures in corresponding locations. The top console and the bottom console are joined together through a swivel member which is configured to pass through and be retained in the apertures, providing an axis about which the top console can rotate relative to the bottom console. Rotating locking mechanisms are included to allow rotation to be limited, with the top console being fixed in a parallel orientation relative to the bottom console.

Abstract: A method for making an ultra-high weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) medical implant starts with obtaining a preform consolidated from UHMWPE resin. Thereafter the preform is hot isostaticly pressed at a temperature between 150° C. and 190° C. at a pressure up to 30,000 psi. After the hot isostatic pressing the preform is sequentially irradiated in a solid state at a total radiation dose of 2 to 10 MRad. The irradiated UHMWPE preform is then heated to a temperature of about 110° C. to about 190° C. for between 2 to 10 hours. The irradiated and heated preform is then cooled after each irradiation and heating to at or below 50° C., and thereafter a medical implant is formed from the preform. Alternately, the process can be performed on the medical implant itself.

Abstract: A method and system that implement a process for managing video information on a video recording device. The management process involves receiving a video input signal including a video stream, obtaining content information corresponding to the video stream, associating the content information with the video stream, and storing the video stream and associated content information in a database as a searchable index for the video stream. The searchable index includes location of the stored video stream and identifies the associated content information. Then, content information from an input signal corresponding to a video stream is captured for analysis and searching the index to identify stored video streams related to the video program for suggestion to the user.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Angelonia plant named ‘Balarcrose’, characterized by its dark rose-colored flowers, dark green-colored foliage, and vigorous, upright growth habit, is disclosed.
