Abstract: Methods and systems for configuring a network are described. A method may include detecting, during installation of a software program on a computing device, a router coupled to the computing device. The software program may be executable by a processor to selectively initiate a connection to a network via the router based on a security level of the router The method may also include modifying the security level of the router to satisfy a threshold security level. The threshold security level may be specified by a service provider of the network.

Abstract: Methods and systems for configuring a network are provided. A method may include monitoring properties of a connection between a computing device and a network. The method may also include detecting a change in the properties of the connection. The method may also include verifying the connection to the network is provided by a service provider when the change in the properties is detected and providing network configuration options based on the change.

Abstract: Various techniques for merging charge into and splitting charge from CCD's are described. Specifically disclosed in detail is a racetrack shaped charge coupled device (CCD), provided with special input and output stations operating on the principle of progressive charge read in and readout. During read in (which is a special case of charge merging), charge is injected in the direction of prevailing charge flow in the main channel of the CCD, with the injected charge packets being transferred laterally into the main charge stream while being stepped forward in the channel. During readout (which is a special case of charge splitting), charge is transferred from the main channel to an auxiliary channel through a plurality of interconnecting ports and, as during read in, transfer of a given charge packet takes place over a time period during which the charge packet is stepped forward in the main channel through several storage sites.
