Abstract: A method, system and computer-readable media are presented for providing forked handover. In one embodiment a method includes building, by a HetNet Gateway (HNG), a cache of all neighbors of a source cell; organizing a list of cells, the list including an original target cell and at least one additional target cell; when a handover determination is to be made, determining the most probable additional cells where a User Equipment (UE) may land if it does not go to the original target cell; duplicating, by the HNG, indirect forwarding data packets coming in from the UE and sending the packets to all additional target cells; and canceling, by the HNG, handovers from all cells other than the target cell target which catches the UE.

Abstract: A “Concurrent Projector-Camera” uses an image projection device in combination with one or more cameras to enable various techniques that provide visually flicker-free projection of images or video, while real-time image or video capture is occurring in that same space. The Concurrent Projector-Camera provides this projection in a manner that eliminates video feedback into the real-time image or video capture. More specifically, the Concurrent Projector-Camera dynamically synchronizes a combination of projector lighting (or light-control points) on-state temporal compression in combination with on-state temporal shifting during each image frame projection to open a “capture time slot” for image capture during which no image is being projected. This capture time slot represents a tradeoff between image capture time and decreased brightness of the projected image.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for configuring path selection in a network. The network can comprise a first router, a second router, a third router, a fourth router, and an intermediary device. The second router can be configured to use Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) while routing packets so that packets with a first DSCP value are routed through the third router, and packets with a second DSCP value are routed through the fourth router. The intermediary device can be configured to: (1) transparently intercept a packet forwarded by the first router to the second router, (2) determine whether the packet is to be routed through the third router or the fourth router, (3) modify a DSCP field in the packet based on said determining, and (4) forward the packet to the second router.

One or more database proxy instances connect to client applications and can obtain database connections for these client applications. The database connections may be pinned to particular client applications and/or multiplexed and thus shared by multiple client connections.
