Abstract: The invention relates to a network gateway comprising a gateway function configured to perform one or more predetermined operations on or with respect to data reaching the gateway function, a first application configured to participate in testing of the gateway function by exchanging data with a second application, and a routing unit configured for routing at least some of the data exchanged between the first application and the second application so that the at least some of the data reaches the gateway function. Implementing the first application for testing a particular gateway function on the network gateway having that function, as opposed to implementing the first application in a device in a network communicatively connected to the gateway, eliminates the need to have a device in the network that is available for testing of that function of the gateway.

Abstract: Descriptions of video segments for use to search or select video segments are generated by using a combination of video based action type detection and image based object detection. Action type detection results in detection of action types from a predetermined set of action types, with little or no information about actors involved in the action. Object detection results in detection of individual objects in the images, with little or no information actions. A set of rules is used that define one or more roles associated with action types and conditions on objects that can fill these roles. Detected action types are used to select rules and detected objects are assigned to roles defined the selected rule. Score values are computed for different assignments of detected objects to the role, as a function of the attribute values of the assigned objects. A combination of the detected action type and the detected objects is selected on the basis of the score values.

Abstract: A method is presented that enables a server to make use of client or third party resources. The client request data contains data about the network location of the client. The server may store this location data of each client. Before or after execution of the request, the server determines if the server is in or close to an overload situation. If the server is not in an overload situation, no further changes are needed. If the server is in or close to an overload situation, the server selects a new location in the network from the database with all client locations. The server allocates a new instance of the server function at a resource provider on (or close to) this new location. The server may select one or more clients from the database. The selected clients are transparently redirected to the offloaded server function. Subsequent requests from clients are handled by the offloaded server function.

Abstract: Enhanced oil recovery becomes increasingly important in satisfying the growing demand for fossil fuel. The efficiency of secondary recovery processes like water flooding is however largely influenced by the rock characteristics, fluid characteristics, chemistry and physics. For development of the full potential of secondary oil recovery, it remains a challenge to obtain sufficient knowledge about the reservoir conditions. The present invention provides a novel water-dispersed, nano-sensor composition based on. InP/ZnS quantum dots (“QDs”) and atomic silver clusters, which exhibit a bright visible fluorescence combined with dedicated sensor functionalities. The QD and silver nano-sensors were tested in simulated reservoir conditions to determine their selected functionality to these reservoir conditions. The developed nano-sensors showed improved sensor functionalities towards pH, temperature, and subterranean reservoir rock, such, as clay or limestone.

Abstract: An infrastructure and method for controlling wireless access to a telecommunications infrastructure for a device includes a first access grant time interval applicable for granting access for the device to the telecommunications infrastructure stored in a device register system. The first access grant time interval is applied when the device requests access to the telecommunications infrastructure via a first network node of the telecommunications infrastructure. However, a second access grant time interval is applied in a second network mode of the telecommunications infrastructure when the device requests access via the second network node. The second access grant time interval is applicable for granting access for the device to the telecommunications infrastructure and is different from the first access grant time interval.

Abstract: A method is described of probing a network route using a pairs of probe packets in which the first packets are typically smaller than the second. A first pair of probe packets with size ratio [L1/L2] and a second pair of probe packets with different size ratio [M1/M2] are transmitted onto a network route. An indicator of time taken for the second probe packet in the packet pairs to traverse the network route is derived and it is identified whether the values of the derived indicators vary or are substantially the same. The method, which can be used to probe home or domestic networks, indicates whether the first link in the route is or is not a bottleneck link, thereby providing further information about the route. A test apparatus, gateway device and computer to perform the method are also disclosed.
