Abstract: A remote control support system provides a simple way to allow remote users to access a computer in a variety of circumstances, even when no software installed on the computer. In some cases, the system includes a hardware device to simulate most USB mice, keyboards, storage devices, camera sensors (to capture a screen display), etc. The hardware device can communicate with a remote computer (via a network connection) to allow a user, such as a remote technician, to work on the remote computer as through the user were sitting at the remote computer. Information technology professionals and other users can use the described systems to communicate with a user at a remote computer in a natural way to communicate via voice, video or chat with online messaging.

Abstract: A method is disclosed of controlling a LED, comprising driving the LED with a DC current for a first time, interrupting the DC current for a second time such that the first time and the second time sum to a period, determining at least one characteristic of the LED whilst the DC current is interrupted, and controlling the DC current during a subsequent period in dependence on the at least one characteristic. The invention thus benefits from the simplicity of DC operation. By operating at the LED in a DC mode, rather than say in a PWM mode, the requirement to be able to adjust the duty cycle is avoided. By including interruptions to the DC current, it is possible to utilise the LED itself to act as a sensor in order to determine a characteristic of the LED. The need for additional sensors is thereby avoided.

Abstract: Provided are a computer readable medium and a system for communicating in a computing system. An example of the method includes establishing a local communications interface at a local site. This example also includes writing local site communication information to the local communications interface, which comprises storing the local site communication information on a first site storage device at the local site, and sending the local site communication information from the first site storage device, to a third site storage device at a remote site, wherein the local site communication information is sent using a remote data replication protocol. The remote site communications interface may read the local site communication information from a third site storage device, and may send the local site communication information to a remote application at the remote site. Similarly, the remote application may send information to a local application at the local site.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing traffic management for distributed denial of service (DDOS) traffic. Within a communications network, a DDOS detection system monitors network traffic to identify traffic that is designed to attack a particular server within the network and their entry points into the network. A traffic routing control unit is requested to deny service to the DDOS traffic. By selectively manipulating the routing information propagated to network edge routers, the traffic that is denied service is limited to mostly DDOS traffic and is routed to a cleaning center or a null address in the most effective fashion.

Abstract: A method of aligning a wafer when lithographically fabricating a light-emitting diode (LED). The method includes forming on the wafer at least one roughened alignment mark having a root-mean-square (RMS) surface roughness ?S. The roughened alignment mark is formed as a consequence of forming a plasma etch to roughen a LED surface on which the wafer alignment mark resides. The method also includes imaging the at least one roughened wafer alignment mark with alignment light having a wavelength ?A that is in the range from about 2?S to about 8?S. The method also includes comparing the detected image to an alignment reference to establish wafer alignment. Once wafer alignment is established, p-contacts and n-contacts can be formed on the LED upper surface in their proper locations.

A table location is allocated to each one of the plurality of requests, wherein the relative location of each allocated table location is indicative of an order that the information from each spawned request is to be returned to the requesting device relative to the information from each other spawned request.
