Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with the present invention provide broadband subscribers with dynamic, automatic routing information for accessing services offered by a service provider network (35) and/or content provider networks (40, 45). Client software on the subscriber's computer (10) retrieves a file such as an HyperText Markup Language (HTML) document from a predetermined server containing connection-oriented routing information for gaining access to various network services. The client software parses the HTML document and extracts the routing information. The client software then uses this routing information to populate and manipulate the subscriber computer (10) routing table.

Abstract: An impact baton for use in law enforcement to induce an enhanced fluid shock wave includes a handle and a striking member. The striking member defines a hollow portion having a first volume defined by a cylindrical wall having an impact surface and an end surface. A quantity of dense, flowable, particulate material is within the hollow portion. The quantity only occupies a partial amount of the first volume of the hollow portion. When the baton is moved through space at a velocity, the particulate material is adjacent to the end surface and shifts to the impact surface upon impact with a target. Upon impact with a target, the shift of the particulate material prevents the baton from rebounding off of the target muscle mass, thereby helping to induce an enhanced fluid shock wave.
