Abstract: A Diameter Routing Agent detects a communication failure with a first policy server, and responsively transfers a policy request to a second policy server identifying a data communication session, the communication failure with the first policy server, a first communication policy, a session requirement, and a user communication device. The second policy server responsively processing the identification of the data communication session and the communication failure with the first policy server to accept policy control of the data communication session for the user communication device and transferring a second policy response to the Diameter Routing Agent indicating a second communication policy for the data communication session based on the user communication device and the session requirement. The data communication network exchanges additional user data with the user communication device based on the second communication policy.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for providing an Internet protocol (IP) address to a client device communicatively coupled to a network. The technique can include: sending, by the client and over the network, a request for an IP address; receiving, by a router, the request; forwarding, by the router, the request to a universal helper server; receiving, by the universal helper server, the request; determining, by the universal helper server, an IP address of a DHCP server; forwarding, by the universal helper server, the request to the DHCP server; providing to the router, by the DHCP server, a client IP address; and sending, from the router to the client, the client IP address, such that the client is configured with the client IP address such that the client can receive point to point messages.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to methods, devices, and computer-implemented methods for internet protocol (“IP”) address assignment by a dynamic host configuration protocol (“DHCP”) server. The method includes receiving, from a client device, a DHCP discovery message for allocation of an IP address; assigning, by a processor, an IP address to the client device for a first lease period based on the DHCP discovery message; providing the IP address that was assigned to the client device; receiving, from the client device, an IP address lease renewal request during the first lease period; and renewing the first lease period to establish a second lease period that is longer than the first lease period based on a length of time the IP address that was assigned is in use by the client device.

Abstract: A database cache manager for controlling a composition of a plurality of cache entries in a data cache is described. Each cache entry is a result of a query carried out on a database of data records, the cache manager being arranged to remove cache entries from the cache based on a cost of removal factor which is comprised of a time cost, the time cost being calculated from the amount of time taken to obtain a query result to which that cache entry is related.

Abstract: In or for an aircraft turbine engine, the invention comprises a fitting comprising at least one blade, said blade being elongate and being adapted to be located such that it lies across the mouth of the engine inlet in use, such that, in use, the blade shears the air flowing towards it, such that the force of at least a portion of the air flowing Into the turbine is reduced, The invention also comprises a housing for a gas turbine engine, comprising a fitting of the invention and wherein the fitting is mounted at the, in use, front of the housing, the front of the housing having an inside periphery, and wherein the fitting is mounted within the inside periphery of the housing,

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of assessing the veracity of a list of email addresses for use with an e-mail messaging campaign is described. The method comprises: receiving the list of email addresses; categorising and marking any email addresses from the received list of email addresses which are considered to have predetermined email address problems; each marked email address being assigned a category of problem; associating each marked email address with a score, wherein the score is dependent on the severity of risk associated with the assigned category; calculating a cumulative score of all of the marked email addresses; and determining, in view of the cumulative score of the marked email addresses, whether the list of email addresses is safe for use for the email messaging campaign.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for modifying diameter messages to establish a communication session over a home packet data network gateway (PGW). In a particular embodiment, a method provides receiving, from a wireless communication device, a request to establish a communication session over a communication network, wherein the communication network exchanges messages using a Diameter authentication, authorization, and accounting protocol. in response to receiving the request, the method provides determining a home PGW for the wireless communication device and adding an indication of the home PGW to a Diameter message for establishing the communication session. Based on the indication of the home PGW, the method provides routing the Diameter message to establish the communication session between the wireless communication device and the home PGW.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for distributed physics based simulation wherein a number of stations are connected via a network. When the simulation detects that a weapon, especially a missile or directed energy beam, is engaging a target vehicle, a single physics station is assigned the determination of the damage status of a target vehicle in the vicinity of the weapon. The detonation or strike of the weapon is applied to a model of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is composed of pieces each made up of a number of parts, and damage is assessed. Where the damage to a piece of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined threshold, the piece is removed from the vehicle, and where a predetermined maximum damage is reached for the vehicle, the vehicle is destroyed in the simulation. The damage assessment from the weapon is made using raytracking component of a physics engine that is also used to control movement of virtual objects in the simulation according to rules of physics of the physics engine.

Abstract: A network connects stations in a distributed physics based simulation system. When the simulation detects that a weapon, especially a missile or directed energy beam, is engaging a target vehicle, one physics station determines damage status of the target vehicle. The detonation or strike of the weapon is applied to a model of the vehicle composed of pieces each made up of a number of parts. Where the damage to a piece of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined threshold, the piece is removed from the vehicle, and where a predetermined maximum damage is reached for the vehicle, the vehicle is considered destroyed. The damage assessment from the weapon is made using raytracing in a physics engine that is also used to control movement of virtual objects in the simulation according to rules of physics of the physics engine.
