Abstract: An access point (AP) device comprising a controller configured to monitor bandwidth allocated by the AP device to a plurality of data flows directed to a plurality of wireless clients using a supported AP device, receive from the supported AP device a message indicating a degradation of a quality of service (QoS) level of the supported AP device, and adapt, in response to the message, a bandwidth allocated to a data flow which is forwarded to the supported AP device.

Abstract: A method of operation (300) of a wireless communication system (100) includes: a client node sending (301) to the infrastructure node a message indicating that it intends to enter an unassociated state and a message requesting (303) the infrastructure node to store for the client node data of at least one multicast or broadcast transmission to be sent by the infrastructure node while the client node is in an unattached state; the client node entering (317) an unattached state and missing (319) at least one multicast or broadcast transmission while in the unattached state; the infrastructure node storing (323) for the client node while the client node is in the unattached state the data of the at least one missed multicast or broadcast transmission; and the infrastructure node sending (331) the stored data to the client node when the client node is in an associated state.

Abstract: A new and unique apparatus for extracting water out of humid air is disclosed. There is also disclosed utilization of the apparatus and method in a specific and unique design so as to establish building blocks in building construction in order to cool indoor air in spaces in which the designated building blocks are combined.

Abstract: A system and a method for monitoring a computer network to detect data packets including audio or video data, such packets being part of a communication session, for storing these packets and for reconstructing the communication session upon request. To enable the system to store packets independently of the protocol used to set up the communication session, for example in a Voice Over IP environment, the system includes a link to the gatekeeper of the computer network.

Abstract: VPN tunnels are used to connect remote equipment to corporate intranets to create private connections over an ordinarily public network. Problems arise when multiple VPNs are being managed and when the connections exist of specific network segments, such as but not limited to wireless, satellite, cellular, and fiber optics. The disclosed invention allows the VPN tunnel to be broken and a Manipulated VPN to be established in the break. The Manipulated VPN allows for an improvement in efficiency in that manipulation equipment located at each side of the VPN break can emulate the destination equipment and thus, speed the data transfer. To accommodate the use of private IP addresses in this environment, bits of the time to live field are utilized to represent the particular VPN in which a destination private IP address resides.

Abstract: A method of direct mode radio communication is disclosed, characterised by a mobile station (MS) maintaining at least a first direct mode group set (DGS) comprising an ordered list of two or more user groups together with their respective associated direct mode radio frequency (RF) channels. The groups are maintained for the purpose of scanning for alternative RF activity among some or all of said groups.

Abstract: Restoring at least a portion of a telephone communication session, in which at least the following occur. Data packets transmitted over a computer network are received. Audio or video data contained in the data packets is stored. The portion of the telephone communication session from the audio or video data contained in the data packets is restored. A terminal having a user interface, a data entry device and a display unit suitable for outputting audio data, video data, or both audio and video is provided. The portion of the telephone communication session is output using the display unit.

Abstract: Storing at least a portion of a computer network-based session such as a telephone session being performed on a computer network between a packet source and a packet destination, in which the following can occur in an embodiment of the invention. Data packets are received on the computer network. Each data packet is filtered to determine if said data packet is a session packet. If the data packet is a session packet, it is filtered to determine if the data includes session data. If the data includes session data, the session data is analyzed. The session packet is stored such that the stored session packet comprises a portion of the telephone session.

Abstract: Monitoring of data packets transmitted across a computer network to extract a computer network-based telephone session in response to a request in which at least the following occur. Data packets transmitted on the computer network are analyzed to select one or more data packets that contain audio data, video data, or audio and video data (“data”). Packets associated with one or more IP addresses representing sessions to be monitored are identified. The data contained in the identified data packets are stored. The data contained in the identified data packets are organized into a specific telephone session based at least in part on a computer network-based telephone session to which the data packets belong. The data that is included in the organized data packets is output upon receipt of a signal representing the request of a user for the specific telephone session.
