Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing network access services to mobile users via multi-user network access terminals over a multi-beam satellite system. Quality-of-service (QoS) is controlled for the mobile devices at a per-user level according to user-specific traffic policies Mobile users may be provisioned on the satellite system according to a set of traffic policies based on their service level agreement (SLA). System resources of the satellite may be allocated to mobile users based on the demand of each mobile user and the set of traffic polices associated with each mobile user, regardless of which multi-user network access terminal is used to access the system. Dynamic multiplexing of traffic from fixed terminals and mobile users on the same satellite beam can take advantage of statistical multiplexing of large numbers of users and on different usage patterns between fixed terminals and mobile users.

Abstract: Through various embodiments, a traceability system may comprise a first tracking device configured to receive a pre-generated session identification number, wherein the pre-generated session identification number is assigned to a first load and a MAC address of the device. The device is further configured to initialize one or more environmental sensors of the device and generate, through the one or more environmental sensors, environmental data pertaining to one or more factors of an environment surrounding the device. The device is additionally configured to execute a propagation query to generate a second session identification number adapted from the pre-generated session identification number, the second session identification number being related to a second load derived from the first load.

Abstract: Network access providers implement interactive procedures and subscriber terminals employ embedded secure authentication structures and procedures to ensure that a satellite modem at the subscriber terminal accurately verifies the identity of a satellite modem terminal system at the location of the network access provider gateway facility during the satellite modem initialization process so that the satellite modem will only attempt to acquire satellite resource from the appropriate (authenticated and authorized) satellite modem termination system. In a virtual downstream channel environment, diverse downstream channel feeds are distinguished by authentication procedures. The present invention differs from standard theft of service prevention because theft of subscriber prevention is in a virtual channel environment, where subscriber terminals have access to a plurality of virtual channels by the nature of the signal.

Abstract: A shaped particle suitable for use as a catalyst support or, alternatively, a dehydrogenation catalyst system in the form of a shaped particle, wherein said shaped particle has a geometry including a length and a cross sectional geometry at at least one point along said length, wherein said cross sectional geometry is defined by an asymmetrical shape having an imaginary dividing line providing for an upper end, having an upper end cross sectional area, and a lower end, having a lower end cross sectional area, wherein said upper end cross sectional area is greater than said lower end cross sectional area. The cross sectional geometry may further be characterized as having a perimeter and as defining a plurality of notches with each said notch of said plurality of notches having a groove depth and a groove opening rotational distance.
