Abstract: In a device monitor system of the invention including multiple devices, a monitor apparatus, and a terminal that are mutually connected via a network, a serial number (first identifier of physically identifying the device) and a private address of the device are sent from the terminal to the monitor apparatus by e-mail. The monitor apparatus generates an installation ID (second identifier of logically identifying the device) correlated to the received serial number (first identifier), creates a document of a link for an HTTP request including the generated installation ID, a URL of the monitor apparatus, and the received private address of the device, and sends back the document to the terminal by e-mail. The user operates the terminal to click the link for the HTTP request and send the HTTP request to the device. The device receives and analyzes the HTTP request and stores the installation ID in a preset storage location.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a server configured to present a log-acquisition environment to a terminal device connected to the electronic device via a network, receive macro-file data and a log-acquisition request that are transmitted from the terminal device by using the log-acquisition environment, and transmit first log information to the terminal-device side according to the log-acquisition request, and a macro-processing unit configured to capture second log information of an operation task by performing processing on the basis of the macro-file data transmitted from the server, and store the second log information, as the first log information transmitted to the terminal-device side by the server.

Abstract: A transmit-side transmission control device for sending data generated by a data generator device to a data utilization point receives and retains notification of the allowable data transmission quantity from a receive-side transmission control device, and adjusts the data quantity sent from the data generator device so as to fit within that allowable data transmission quantity range, and/or when a request is issued to change that data transmission quantity, the receive-side transmission control device is notified of that allowable data transmission quantity change request.

Abstract: The initial partitioning of a distributed computing problem can be critical, and is often a source of tedium for the user. A method is provided that automatically segments the problem into fixed sized collections of original program cells (OPCs) based on the complexity of the problem specified, and the combination of computing agents of various caliber available for the overall job. The OPCs that are on the edge of a collection can communicate with OPCs on the edges of neighboring collections, and are indexed separately from OPCs that are within the ‘core’ or inner non-edge portion of a collection. Consequently, core OPCs can iterate independently of whether any communication occurs between collections and groups of collections (VPPs). All OPCs on an edge have common dependencies on remote information (i.e., their neighbors are all on the same edge of a neighboring collection).

Abstract: In a monitoring apparatus for monitoring an object which intrudes into a monitoring subject area by using an image pickup device, it is demanded to adjust parameters according to conditions such as the monitoring purpose and the surrounding environment in order to execute suitable monitoring. To this end, in the monitoring apparatus, parameters corresponding to monitoring conditions are subject to grouping. Suitable values of parameters in each group obtained by the grouping are previously determined according to a degree of a monitoring condition. A monitoring condition and its degree are selected by using an ordering device having user interface components such as push buttons mounted thereon. It is made possible to instantaneously alter parameters belonging to a group corresponding to the monitoring condition all at once at this time. Parameter adjustment free from troublesomeness and skill is thus implemented.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques of managing resources in a service-oriented distributed computing system. As described in this disclosure, a control node automatically manages the system such that the system has sufficient capacity to satisfy an agreement to provide a given level of a service. In order to automatically manage the system, the control node evaluates the current capacity levels of resources in the system. The current capacity levels are indicative the capacity of resources to perform certain acts. The capacity of the resources to perform these acts may be indicative of whether the system is able to provide the given level of the service. Because resources may be deployed in chains, the capacities of resources to perform the certain acts may be defined to be dependent on the capacities of other resources to perform other acts.

Abstract: A drive recorder for recording video information received from an image capturing unit on a recording medium includes an acceleration sensor which outputs acceleration information representing an acceleration applied to a vehicle, and a control unit which, determines that a recording condition holds and records video information captured for a first predetermined period of time before the occurrence of the recording condition and video information captured for a second predetermined period of time after the occurrence of the recording condition on the recording medium when the acceleration information equals or exceeds a threshold, wherein after the recording condition holds, the control unit does not record newly captured video information on the recording medium when the acceleration information again becomes equal to or exceeds the threshold in less than a third predetermined period of time which is shorter than the second predetermined period of time.

Abstract: For achieving device management, the terminal may select certain command execution results and transmit such to the network instead of always sending all command execution results. Accordingly, resources of the terminal and radio communication resources can be more efficiently utilized when compared to previously used device management procedures. Furthermore, since a record that is relevant to operations performed within the terminal is saved, even if a certain result of executing a particular command is not successfully transmitted to the network due to an error, the network may still be able to verify the command execution result by accessing the record that was stored in the terminal.

Abstract: A system and method for solving the weak membership problem in a system of nodes that might include redundancies. Each node is given the same random seed. Each node uses a link state protocol to determine the current system topography, and then an optimization such as simulated annealing is run on the topography at each node, independently of the other nodes, to determine the optimum weak membership for use thereof in subsequent system operations. Since each node starts with the same random seed, the nodes all arrive at the same solution without having to communicate a common solution between nodes.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes sending, from a first node to a second node, an initiator message to open a connection between the first node and the second node, receiving, at the first node, a responder message sent from the second node, in which the responder message comprises a responder certificate, converting the responder certificate to a responder canonical identifier, comparing the responder canonical identifier to a stored canonical identifier, and establishing the connection between the first node and the second node over a pre-existing session corresponding to the stored canonical identifier, when the responder canonical identifier matches the stored canonical identifier.

Abstract: A method for representing, in a network data structure, a minimum amount of protection bandwidth required to be reserved on each link in a mesh network, to restore service upon failure of another node or link in the network. The method includes (1) receiving a request for a new service in the network, wherein the new service is represented by a service data structure having an identification of each link and transit node in a primary path for the new service, (2) determining, using the network and service data structures, whether the new service requires additional protection bandwidth to be reserved on any link in the network, and (3) updating the network data structure if any additional protection bandwidth is determined to be needed. In one implementation the network and service data structures are vectors and the steps of determining and updating involve vector operations between these structures.

Abstract: The present invention is a method, system, and computer program product enabling multiple versions/releases of a J2EE application to be served to clients from a single application server. One or more JNDI proxies are situated between each client and the application server. The JNDI proxies allow a same public “service name” to be utilized by different clients to access different programs/services on the application server. The JNDI proxies do this by translating the service name into a non-public “alias name” on behalf of the client. The alias name is a private name that the service provider who administers the application server understands and uses to locate the specific version of programs/services that the clients need.

Abstract: The network system includes: a command transmitting unit that transmits a command for requesting information required by the representative device for network management from the non-representative device, when the non-representative device has joined a network or when there is a change in a state of the non-representative device; a command receiving unit that receives a command including the information sent from the non-representative device that has received the command; a management unit that manages the information received by the command receiving unit as device management information; a representative device selecting unit that selects a next representative device using the device management information when functions of the representative device are to be disabled.

Abstract: A communication function between ports on a node that does not require a common time base to be distributed across the network is disclosed. A data stream received over a first port is placed on an interlace between nodes using the time base of the first port; a second port samples the data stream on the interface and timestamps it using the time base of the second port. The data stream is timestamped by the second port and packetized before transmitted to the second node to another bridge or device. Alternatively, the first port extracts a time stamp from the data stream and calculates an offset using a cycle timer value from the bus connected to the first port. The offset is added to the cycle timer value on the bus connected to the second port and used to timestamp the data stream.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of transmitting packet data from a first subsystem to a wireless terminal device via the network node of a second subsystem. In the method, at least one filter is formed to guide mapping of at least one data flow of the first subsystem to at least one data flow of the second subsystem. At least one filter is attached to at least one data flow of the second subsystem. The filter comprises at least part of the interface identifier of the IP address, which at least part of the interface identifier is allocated in the wireless terminal device. Hereby, mapping of the data flow of the first subsystem to the data flow of the second subsystem is performed on the basis of the interface identifiers of the destination IP addresses in the received packets.
