Abstract: A security system may use a netting to apprehend suspects of crime and prevent them from leaving the scene of the crime. The security system can include a netting, trolley system, frame, and triggering device. The netting can be connected to the trolley system. The trolley system can be supported by the frame, which can cover points of egress and ingress of buildings. When the triggering system is activated, netting can travel down the trolley system to apprehend the suspect until law enforcement has a chance to arrive on the scene.

Abstract: A method of providing network services is described. The network includes a number of nodes, each one of which is coupled to at least one other of the nodes by at least one of a number of optical links. The network is preferably capable of supporting a number of virtual circuits. The method begins with the receiving of a request for a virtual circuit between a first node and a second node of the network. Preferably, the request specifies a quality of service of the virtual circuit. Next, the availability of network resources for supporting a virtual circuit at the requested quality of service is determined. Assuming sufficient network resources are available for support of the virtual circuit, the request is then serviced by provisioning (and maintaining) the requested virtual circuit. Servicing the request preferably includes actions such as provisioning, maintaining, and restoring the virtual circuit, using the requested parameters.
