Abstract: The present invention provides a data transmission method and apparatus based on networks of multiple communications standards. According to the method of the present invention, an air interface state of a first communications standard network and an air interface state of a second communications standard network are detected, a data packet sending rate suitable for the air interface status of the first communications standard network and a data packet sending rate suitable for the air interface state of the second communications standard network are determined, and a data packet is allocated to the first communications standard network and the second communications standard network according to the determined data packet sending rates, so that the data packet may be simultaneously delivered to a user by using the networks of the two communications standards together.

Abstract: A system and method for providing directional information to a user using existing infrastructure elements (150) is disclosed. The method comprising determining a route of infrastructure elements (150) between a current location and a remote location, wherein the current location is associated a first element in the route and the last element in the route being closest to the remote location, wherein each of the elements in the route are identified by at least one of: a physical identification and a data identification, and providing a visual indication, progressively, to each of the infrastructure elements in the route at a predetermined time and for a determined period, wherein the progressive display of the visual indication provides for direction control information.

Abstract: Devices such as tablets, smartphones, media players, and so forth may incorporate a fingerprint sensor to support acquisition of biometric identification data. As described herein, input data from the fingerprint sensor may be used to control one or more functions of the device. The function controlled may be based at least in part on context of one or more applications executing on the device, direction of motion, and so forth. In one implementation, movement parallel to the fingerprint sensor may modify audio volume settings on the device.

Abstract: Inventive methods and apparatus for management of outdoor lighting networks (130A-C, 230A-C). For example, in some embodiments methods and apparatus are provided that enable communication between a central management system (110, 210) and a plurality of unique outdoor lighting networks (130A-C, 230A-C).

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method of managing a network comprising a set of devices for transmitting a traffic stream using network resources. Each device of the set of devices is individually associated with an expiration time. The expiration time defines a maximum interval of sending a message by a given device among the set of devices for indicating that the given device is connected with the network. The method comprises a step of determining, based on the expiration times of said set of devices, a transmission lease time defining duration of using said network resources.

Abstract: A method for treating highly concentrated resin-desorption liquid generated from wastewater deep purification, including channeling the highly concentrated desorption liquid generated from anion exchange resin treatment through a nanofiltration membrane, the liquid being separated into nanofiltration permeate that can be reused as the desorption agent and highly concentrated nanofiltration retentate; adding a coagulating agent to the highly concentrated nanofiltration retentate to generate coagulation-precipitation; subjecting the supernatant formed after the coagulation-precipitation process to Fenton oxidation or ozone oxidation; after the reaction, adding to the liquid an alkali solution for further coagulation-precipitation; then channeling the liquid so treated back to the biochemical system of biochemical effluent treatment for further biodegradation is provided.

Abstract: A system and method for real-time network communications provides a session identifier as a public key for group communication between clients, and provides a channel identifier representing a private key for each of a plurality of clients. The channel identifier includes client-specific attributes, which function to indicate grouping criteria for the group communication. A dynamic communication link is created over a network between a client and a service based upon the public and private key combination such that group communication is enabled based upon the attributes of the private key and the public key. Communications are translated using a translation service which employs the attributes associated with the private key and the public key combination to provide response information in a designated language to enable multi-lingual real-time communications.

Abstract: The present invention proposes an apparatus and a method for selecting a transport control mechanism to be used between a first device (110) and a second device (120). Firstly, a first unit (231) obtains first information indicating the transport control mechanism supported by the first device (210) and second information indicating the transport control mechanism supported by second device (220); then, a second unit (232) selects the transport control mechanism to be used between the first device (210) and the second device (220) on the basis of the first and second information and a preset rule. With the apparatuses and methods provided in the present invention, the problem of how to select the transport control mechanism to be used between the media server and the media client is well solved. Furthermore, by applying the defined messages and the interaction process in IGRS protocols, there is no need for additional messages nor for an additional interaction process.
