Abstract: A network includes a media server and a service activation device. The media server may receive a request for content from a subscriber device and transmit a message. The message may identify the subscriber device and include information relating to the content. The service activation device may receive the message from the media server, identify, in response to receiving the message, bandwidth and quality of service requirements for the content, determine whether resources needed to provide the identified bandwidth and quality of service requirements exist, reserve the resources when the resources needed to provide the identified bandwidth and quality of service requirements exist, and transmit a second message to the media server in response to reserving the resources. The second message may cause the media server to provide the content to the subscriber device.

Abstract: Knives molded from a plastics material for cutting lettuce and for cutting baked goods in a non-stick pan respectively are described. The blade portions of the knives include a cutting edge comprised of arcuate, convex segments. The thickness of the blade increases from the cutting edge in discrete steps, resulting in a stronger blade that remains sharp longer. Being molded from a plastics material, the knives will not promote the oxidation of cut lettuce nor scratch or damage the surface of a non-stick pan respectively.
