Abstract: A domain name system (DNS) resolver includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations including receiving, from a client device, a request for an internet protocol (IP) address associated with a domain name, determining the IP address associated with the domain name, sending first data defining the IP address associated with the domain name to the client device, and sending second data defining the IP address associated with the domain name to a firewall device, the second data including an identification of the client device.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of a multi-scale system and method comprise at least two scale elements with respective scale readouts and control logic. The control logic may be configured to activate the scale elements and weight readouts concurrently throughout a selected period of time as a result of a single transaction. The system may preferably be operated within a travel service facility, such as an airline or bus terminal, for allowing a traveler to simultaneously and independently weigh multiple pieces of luggage, and redistribute the contents therebetween prior to checking the luggage with any travel service within the travel service facility. Each scale platform may include a cage element adapted to provide lateral support and stabilization for the object placed on the respective scale platform. The system may include a network connection by which the system can be remotely controlled, monitored and updated from an off-site location.

Abstract: An exemplary dried, meat-based product includes meat and plant seed where the plant seed comprises at least approximately 3% caffeine by weight. For example, an exemplary product includes guaraná plant seed. According to various products and processes, plant seed may be provided as a powder.

Abstract: An uplink access method in a mobile subscriber station of a broadband wireless access communication system prioritizes uplink bandwidth allocation according to QoS types of requested service. A scheduling priority is assigned to each type of service flow to guarantee the highest data rate for the high QoS service flows, and then the uplink data grants are scheduled based on this assigned priority. By assigning a priority to each connection based on the service type flow, the higher data rate connections will always have the opportunity to transmit uplink data to fulfill the high data rate QoS requirement, and fragmentation will occur only on the last lowest priority Connection ID (CID) based on the size of the last remaining data grant. The uplink access method further prevents the high priority service from stealing bandwidth from data grants intended for lower priority services by identifying when the data grant is mismatched from the amount requested by the lower level services.
