Abstract: A computationally implemented system and method that is designed to, but is not limited to: electronically presenting output of mobile operating system operated code as user interface content presented on one or more user interface outputs of a mobile communication device based at least upon electronic reception of communication traffic related to use of the mobile communication device as a communication relay node of one or more ad hoc communication networks called into operation from standby status, the ad hoc communication network for service of communication between one or more origination electronic communication devices and one or more destination electronic communication devices. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

Abstract: A computationally implemented system and method that is designed to, but is not limited to: electronically receiving one or more at least partially mobile operating system operated intermediate electronic communication device relayed transmissions from one or more at least partially mobile operating system operated intermediate electronic communication devices activated from standby mode to be one or more communication network relays for use by one or more origination electronic communication devices to communicate at least in part with one or more destination electronic communication devices. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

Abstract: A computationally implemented system and method that is designed to, but is not limited to: electronically receiving one or more communication network relay related transmissions at least in part associated with one or more first portions of mobile operating system operated intermediate electronic communication device functionality related at least in part to communication network relay functionality of a mobile operating system operated intermediate electronic communication device as one or more standby communication network relays upon activation thereof for use by one or more origination electronic communication devices to communicate at least in part with one or more destination electronic communication devices, the mobile operating system operated intermediate electronic communication device functionality including second portions related at least in part to mobile electronic communication device functionality.

Abstract: A computationally implemented system and method that is designed to, but is not limited to: obtain information at least in part regarding one or more first aspects of one or more intermediate electronic communication devices for serving as one or more nodes of one or more standby point-to-point communication networks upon activation thereof for use by an origination electronic communication device to communicate at least in part with a destination electronic communication device, the one or more intermediate electronic communication devices having one or more second aspects as one or more mobile electronic communication devices. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

Abstract: A connector for a communications system concentrates crosstalk in the front of a plug housing. The plug housing has front and rear ends. An internal chamber opens on the rear end and is defined by housing walls. A plurality of slots extend through one of the housing walls adjacent the front end and into the internal chamber. A plurality of contacts are mounted in the slots for movement between retracted positions spaced from the internal chamber and inserted positions extending into the internal chamber. An insert assembly has at least one insert member disposed adjacent at least one of the plurality of contacts. The insert assembly is made of a higher dielectric material than the plug housing.

Abstract: A command module is provided to couple and manage one or more patch panels having advanced features such as assets and/or PoE and/or power supply functions. The command module can query attached patch panels having additional capabilities, synchronize data, and act as an administrative server. The system and method can be provided for managing such patch panels via a communication path and/or protocol, such as a serial communication protocol or a serial communication path that is star topology (direct connect) or daisy chained, and managing a patch panel including an IP network connection, and through this Ethernet interface, all manner of active management is performed such that management resides in command module.

Abstract: A tree stabilizer device for supporting young trees, shrubs, etc. The device includes a post adapted to have one end thereof inserted into the ground so as to extend upwardly substantially vertically therefrom; and an elongated support member having a first adjustable securing mechanism for securing the member to the post, and a second mechanism for securing the member to a tree. The first securing mechanism includes a slot defined through the member and shaped substantially to match a cross-section of the post, for insertion of the post therethrough. The second securing mechanism includes a substantially wedge-shaped section and a wedge for adjustable insertion therein so as to secure a portion of the tree between the wedge and the wedge-shaped section.

Abstract: A grass protecting walkway having a substantially flat elongated grid-like structure which defines a plurality of polygonal apertures is disclosed. The grid allocates its bottom and top planar surface areas approximately equally between the surface area of the apertures and the surface area of structured cross members.
