Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a network data processing system on a mobile platform. Current traffic in the network data processing system may be monitored by a processor unit while the mobile platform is moving. The current traffic is compared by the processor unit with a baseline of traffic in the network processing system to form a comparison. A determination is made as to whether an undesired event has occurred in the traffic based on the comparison. An action may be initiated responsive to a determination that an undesired event has occurred.

Abstract: A direct view display provides a light modulating panel and a backlight including first and second sets of spectral emitters. The first set of spectral emitters generate a first light bundle and the second set of spectral emitters generate a second light bundle. Several modes of operation may be provided including (1) an advanced 2D mode, (2) an enhanced color gamut mode employing simultaneous illumination of the first and second set of spectral emitters, (3) a privacy screen mode, (4) a channel multiplexed mode, and (5) a stereoscopic image mode. The latter three modes utilize the first and second set of spectral emitters to alternately illuminate a portion of the light modulating panel. Images and representations generated by the direct view display operating in the latter three modes are viewed using appropriate eyewear having filters with passband characteristics to transmit the respective light bundle.

Abstract: The present invention teaches methods and systems for monitoring and controlling bandwidth usage between an internal local area network and an external network. By providing controls from inside the external network connectivity point, greater detail in bandwidth control is possible. This in turn leads to less restrictive bandwidth restricting algorithms. Bandwidth restricting algorithms include various bandwidth limiting techniques. One such technique uses prioritized data transfer limits applied on an application, process or network interface basis. Another technique uses a configurable weighting factor for real-time prioritization of data traffic. Other techniques incorporate quality of service or model predictive control based bandwidth limiting.

Abstract: A configuration information collection unit 1502 and a transaction collection unit 1503 collect a transaction as the configuration information about an IT system and communication data, and stores them in a CMDB 1504. A multiplexed application detection unit 1501 detects as a candidate for a multiplexed application the software of applications multiplexed by evaluating whether or not the application names of the software of applications deployed to a target to be monitored on the IT system match each other. Then, it detects a multiplexed application by evaluating whether or not one or more of evaluation items of a subnet in which a candidate for a multiplexed application is performed, transaction context as the data relating to the names of an applications performed before and after the candidate for a multiplexed application, and transaction information as the transmission/reception data of the candidate for a multiplexed application match each other.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of directing data from a first computing device to a second computing device is provided. The second computing device opens communication with a server. The server provides a unique identifier to the second computing device, and the second computing device remains available to received data. The first computing device transmits a request for data to be displayed to the server. The server (or a third device) transmits the data to be displayed to the second computing device. Once the data is displayed and/or acknowledged, the second computing device ceases to display the data and disconnects from the server.

Abstract: A method and system for managing mobile exchange of profile information between a requestor and a recipient. A mobile client is provided on a requestor's first mobile device. The requestor provides requestor profile to an information exchange server through the mobile client. The requestor requests for a connection with the recipient using the mobile client. The mobile client is provided on a recipient's second mobile device. The recipient provides recipient profile to the information exchange server through the mobile client. On acceptance of the request for connection by the recipient, the information exchange server transfers the recipient profile to the mobile client on the requestor's first mobile device and vice versa. The mobile client automatically updates the transferred recipient profile on the requestor's first mobile device based on changes made by the recipient to the recipient profile and vice versa.

Abstract: Proxy mobile IP provides mobility to a mobile device that is not equipped to perform client mobile IP by moving the mobile IP signaling responsibility from the mobile device into the network. A network element performs the mobile IP signaling on behalf of the mobile device. In one scenario, the mobile device establishes a PPP session with a foreign agent, with no mobile IP signaling on top of the PPP session. The foreign agent then performs mobile IP signaling with the mobile device's home agent to negotiate a proxy mobile IP session for the device. Once the session registration lifetime has been established by the foreign agent and the home agent, the foreign agent communicates the registration lifetime to the mobile device by way of a PPP vendor-specific packet.

Abstract: An optimized caching mechanism for byte range requests from a web service is provided. When a large file that is not already in cache or being transferred is requested, a background thread may be created to transfer the file and a shared data structure created to track portions of the file that are transferred. For each subsequent request for portions of the same file, the data may be sent back in chunks and the request to read each chunk from the file blocked until that chunk is filled by the background thread. Thus, the locally stored and partially filled file is shared among multiple requestors.
