Abstract: An Interrogating Call Session Control Function (“I-CSCF”) server load balances Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”) users over an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (“IMS”) network. The I-CSCF server establishes a Diameter connection between a first Serving Call Session Control Function (“S-CSCF”) server and receives a dynamically adjusted capacity and a status information from the first S-CSCF server. The I-CSCF server further receives from user equipment a request to initiate a SIP communication session over the IMS network.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for synchronizing service data between a data store and a device using the service data. These synchronization techniques may be used with a synchronization method and device that adaptively adjust synchronization parameters, such as the synchronization interval and quantity of synchronized data, on a per-end-user basis in response to actual end-user behavior. In particular, heavy users of service data are rewarded with improved synchronization parameters, such as a combination of shorter synchronization intervals and increased synchronization data quantities, which provides closer to “direct access” performance. Light users of service, on the other hand, are assigned lower cost synchronization parameters, such as longer synchronization intervals and/or decreased synchronization data quantities.

Abstract: System and method of interfacing arbitrary non-network connected devices to wireless computer networks. The invention provides an optically configurable wireless communications module, in either fixed or removable formats, with wireless (e.g. WiFi) network connectivity. The module also has a programmable arbitrary device controller, associated software, and at least the combination of the arbitrary device and the module also provides a unique ID code. A software token assisted method may be used to associate the unique ID code with appropriate control software and this association stored in network server memory. The invention may also use an internet-based service and a local optical programmer to configure the module's wireless network configuration. Once connectivity is established, the module may upload its unique ID code to the server and receive appropriate arbitrary device control code from the server.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for validating content included in an electronic communication is disclosed. A computer receives a new communication that includes content from an original communication. The computer determines if the content included in the new communication includes a change to the original communication. In response to determining that the content includes the change to the original communication, the computer generates a validation score of the new communication, such that the validation score is determined by an amount of match between the content of the new communication and the original communication, and the extent to which the change alters a purport of the original communication.

Abstract: Generic Distributed Processing Unit (DPU) for Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) is disclosed. The DPU based system is a Machine 2 Machine (M2M) interface that is fast, flexible, redundant and scalable. It allows the handling of unlikely edge cases that Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) can not. It also allows the processing of excessive amounts of ancillary data that are not processed easily with an HMI arrangement. In the digital ecosystem, any like DPU can back up any other making the system exceedingly robust.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards employing a configuration management system to report one or more assumptions based on whether or not prerequisites for a resource are satisfied. The configuration management system may determine at least one prerequisite that corresponds to a provided resource. The prerequisites may indicate what the resource requires in order to put the system into the target state. If the prerequisites are unsatisfied, then assumptions regarding the system may be determined and reported to a user of the system. The assumptions may include at least a state transition that upon occurrence puts the system into the target state. If the system is in a non-operational mode, such that state actions and state transitions are simulated, rather than being executed, the system may be enabled to perform other actions as if the prerequisites were satisfied and the state transition occurred, even if it is not.

Example methods disclosed herein include sending, via the communication session, a request to a peer to change a flow control mechanism for the communication session, receiving, via a communication session, a reply from the peer, the reply indicating whether the request to change the flow control mechanism for the communication session has been accepted, and performing subsequent flow control for the communication session based on the reply.

Abstract: In one version, the system uses a mesh of wireless nodes that form a tree shaped network. One of the nodes is a root node that has a connection to an external network, with other network participants being chirp clients, and wireless network clients. The chirp clients are low cost devices that transmit short duration messages that are scheduled using a chirp scheduling technique. At least one wireless node of the tree shaped network is designated as chirp-aware and has a bridge between the short duration messages and IP based devices. The bridge includes a wireless receiver and is connected to the external network. All nodes other than the root node disregard the short duration messages using adaptive filtering. Each node has two logical radios and a service radio, the nodes' uplink and downlink operating on non-conflicting frequencies. Wireless network clients communicate with the nodes using the service radios.

Abstract: A method and tangible medium embodying code for allocating resource units of an allocatable resource among a plurality of clients in a computer is described. In the method, resource units are initially distributed among the clients by assigning to each of the clients a nominal share of the allocatable resource. For each client, a current allocation of resource units is determined. A metric is evaluated for each client, the metric being a function both of the nominal share and a usage-based factor, the usage-based factor being a function of a measure of resource units that the client is actively using and a measure of resource units that the client is not actively using. A resource unit can be reclaimed from a client when the metric for that client meets a predetermined criterion.

Abstract: A messaging system (100) for routing clinical messages includes an event handler and a standardized protocol (105). The event handler (106) receives one or more inbound messages from one or more event sources (102). The event sources (102) include one or more worklist items. The event handler (106) further stores the worklist items in an event database (198) and generates and communicates outbound messages for one or more worklist items in the event database (198) that need to be acted upon, as determined by one or more rules. The standardized protocol (105) is used to represent the inbound messages and the outbound messages.

Abstract: The customized execution of an executable accessed from a web server. Upon receiving a request for the executable, the web server determines a customization to be applied to the executable. For instance, arguments may be parsed from the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the request. The web server then sends a copy of the executable to the client, and provides customization argument(s) in the name of the executable. Thus, the name of the executable may differ, depending on the customization to be applied, although the executable binary itself may be the same. The client receives the executable copy, and interprets its name to determine the customization to be applied. For instance, the client may extract the argument(s) from the name of the executable, and provide those argument(s) to the executable when executed.
