Abstract: A bedside lamp, features for such a lamp, and associated methodology. The lamp has at least two different sets of lighting elements, each having one or more groupings of LED lamp(s), where the one or more main LED lamp(s) provide the majority of the lighting when the lamp is at full brightness and no lighting during various reduced lighting states, and the one or more “auxiliary” LED lamp(s) provide less than a majority of the lighting when the lamp is at full brightness and all of the lighting during various reduced lighting states. The lamp has the means for the user to set a dimming time for which the lights dim from a set brightness to 0% brightness, and means to gradually dim the main and auxiliary LED lamp(s) according to the above description.

Abstract: An LED based lighting system for use in highway lighting, adaptations to current highway lighting systems, and associated methodology. The highway lighting system can be implemented in new highway installations and also by retrofitting existing highway installations. Unlike highway lighting systems in the prior art that convert AC to DC and clean the harmonics at each lamp post, the lighting system converts AC to (high voltage) DC and cleans the created harmonics at a centralized location thereby supplying high voltage DC to each lamp. The high voltage DC is then stepped down at each lamp post via communicating with centralized command center. This allows each lamp to be dimmed from full brightness to 0% brightness and also to be dimmed independent of one another (which in turn allows for automatic checking whether each lamp is functioning properly).

Abstract: One or more test classes implement an object oriented interface that specifies an execution method and a results method called from a user interface running on the mobile terminal or an emulator. The user interface enables a user to select one or more tests to run, view results, and upload results to a server. For each test, the user interface calls the execution method to initiate the test and obtain a success or failure indication. The user interface also calls the results method to obtain data on a capability and/or to obtain validation that the capability is complete and reliable. Tests that require specific hardware are activated or deactivated, depending on whether the mobile terminal includes the required hardware. Test include a memory size test, a memory integrity test, a socket connection test, an HTTP test, a camera test, an image rendering speed test, a message test, and the like.

Abstract: A system and method are directed towards enabling a user to access an online service such as an online multiplayer game. The online service notifies a message service, such as a portal service, that a first client is interacting with the online service. The message may include a network address to which the first client is connected, or the network address may be obtained separately. The message may also identify a second client, which the first client wishes to invite to participate in the online service. The second client can also be identified by the message service with a contact list. The message service may determine a current presence of the second client to determine a device and format currently being used by the second client. The message service provides the second client with a link to the network address and/or a redirection link to the online service.
