Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for delivering tailored specific content to a mobile device. A shim application is provided to the mobile device by a content server after the mobile device visits the content server for the first time. The shim application detects the capabilities of the mobile device, such as the screen size, screen resolution, memory size, browser capabilities, etc. The shim application then includes such information in the header of the requests, such as a request for content, sent from the mobile device to the content server. The content server then generates the requested content in the appropriate format based on the information provided in the header. In this manner, the content server will now be able to ensure that the content provided by the content server for a particular mobile device will be appropriately displayed on the mobile device.

Abstract: A method for moving application related records (220) between distributed cloud domains (206a to 206w) when a user terminal (210) changes its physical location and a predetermined condition is fulfilled. The user terminal (210) is connected to a telecommunication network (201) and uses an application (App). The method determines that a user terminal location has changed at least from a first network area (202) of the telecommunication network (201) to a second network area (204), considering one or more constraints associated with (i) a location of the user terminal (210) in the second network area (204), (ii) a location of a cloud component of the application (App) in a first cloud domain (206n) associated with the first network area (201), and (iii) a location of a second cloud domain (206w) associated with the second network area (204), and moves, when the predetermined condition is fulfilled, the application related records (220) from the first cloud domain (206n) to the second cloud domain (206w).

Abstract: A resource stack managed by a resource stack provider is created based on a resource stack template that integrates a custom resource from a second provider into the resource stack using a notification system with the second provider. For example, a customer may create a template that defines a resource stack that comprises resources available from the resource stack provider and one or more custom resources provided by a second provider. When a resource stack is created, resources available from the resource stack provider may be provisioned. Custom resources may be initialized by notifying the provider of the custom resource of the requested integration of the custom resource with the resource stack and requested configuration details. The custom resource provider may respond with an indication of successful integration when the custom resource has been successfully initialized. After initializing the resources, the resource stack may be enabled for use.

Abstract: A method for identifying whether a selective internet protocol transport opportunity (SIPTO) route is allowed to be used by at least one wireless communication unit comprises, at a core network element: storing subscription profile data associated with the at least one wireless communication unit in a home subscriber server (HSS) database, where the subscription profile data comprises an indication of whether the wireless communication unit has access rights to use a SIPTO route, and generating a SIPTO indicator for informing at least one network element that the at least one wireless communication unit is allowed to use the SIPTO route.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for allocating shared resources to nodes in a distributed computing network system. Nodes request a lock for each instance of a computing resource (e.g., a virtual IP address associated with a service provided by the distributed computing network system) from a distributed lock manager. The distributed lock manager maintains a queue of requests for each instance of the shared resource. Upon receiving a lock from the distributed lock manager, the receiving node performs a fairness allocation protocol to determine whether to accept the lock. If so determined, the shared computing resources associated with the lock is configured.

The programmable digital system is configured to control the programmable analog system autonomously of the microcontroller.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and a network device for controlling DHCP pool exhaustion in dynamic network environments. Specifically, a network device determines that a client device is assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address by a DHCP server. The network device detects that the client device is disconnected from a network associated with the IP address, for example, by receiving a de-association message from the client device; determining that a session or an entry corresponding to the client device has timed out; determining that the client device has failed to respond to one or more messages transmitted to the client device; determining that the client device has connected to another network different than said network; etc. In response, the network device then generates a DHCP release message on behalf of the client device, and transmits the DHCP release message to the DHCP server.

Abstract: A content delivery system and method for use with plurality of digital multimedia data processing systems and legacy systems spanning across one or more network environments. The system and method enable users with freedom of mobility while maintaining access to the user's selected content while the user transitions from one device in one location to a different device in a difference location, substantially without interruption and without the need for user action to turn on and off these target data processing systems. The Instant Invention can provide high bandwidth content delivery solutions based upon hardware and software components by activating a target device while the system is proximate to the target device and, in one embodiment, automatically redirecting the content while the system is proximate to a new target device without user intervention.
