Abstract: A glove for sports and other uses is provided comprising a palm portion configured to substantially cover a user's palm and palm side surface of the user's fingers and thumb, and a back portion configured to substantially cover the back of a user's hand and back surface of the user's fingers and thumb. One or more inserts are provided between at least two of the fingers, with the inserts webbing the fingers together and spacing them apart. Alternatively, one or more inserts are provided between at least two of the fingers, with the inserts spacing the fingers apart without webbing them together. The inserts assist in improving the grip of the user. They are also beneficial for aiding in the absorption of shock.

Abstract: Systems and methods dynamically adapt network policies for mobile devices by accessing context-based values to allocate or restrict capabilities on the mobile devices or within the network. Context-based values may include position or velocity as well as more general environment features such as proximity of other devices, the presence or absence of other wireless signals or network traffic, parameters measured by local or remote sensors, user credentials, or unique user or signal inputs to the device. Relevant capabilities may include access to hardware and software interfaces and related parameter sets including priority settings.

Abstract: The invention relates to automatic logging of people's lives by combining a geo-location tracking system, a data storage service and sharing services. In particular, a method and a system for location reporting using geo-location tracking devices, such as mobile communication devices, social networks and data storage and manipulation services. The data points collected from geo-location tracking receivers are then associated with information collected from various external information sources provided by the user and presented as points, milestones, or periods along the user's path, past, present and future.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention relates to producing optical pulses for use on a transmission link. A light source is configured to produce an optical signal. A pulse generator is coupled to the light source. The pulse generator is configured to receive, for a first channel, the optical signal and a clock signal. The pulse generator is also configured to modify the optical signal based on the clock signal to produce an optical pulse having a predetermined pulse shape. The clock signal is associated with the predetermined pulse shape. The predetermined pulse shape being based on a transmission characteristic of the transmission link.

Abstract: A polymerized hydrogel composition for hydrating or dehydrating a surface, particularly a dermatological surface, to which it is applied and a method for forming the composition. The composition is comprised of a mixture of two polymerizable materials, a two-part redox catalyst system and a two-part polymerization medium. The percentage by weight of each element in the composition may be varied within stated percentage ranges and depending to the desired application. The rate at which hydration or dehydration occurs may be controllably altered by varying the percentages of certain of the composition elements and by adding either or both of a fibrous filler material and a humectant to the composition.

Abstract: Spyware may be detected by using a detection agent in a communications network to monitor one or more communication streams from one or more clients. An indication of spyware residing on a suspect device may be detected in one or more of the communication streams. As a result, a host may be determine whether the suspect device has established a relationship with a service provider. If the suspect device has established a relationship with the service provider, a message about the spyware is transmitted to the suspect device.

Abstract: To protect a client system from unauthorized programs, a scanner application for detecting particular unauthorized programs is maintained on a host system and periodically provided to a client system that executes the scanner application. Targeted solutions to particular types of unauthorized programs also are maintained on the host system and provided to the client system. If the scanner application detects an unauthorized program on the client system, a remedy that is targeted only to the detected unauthorized program is programmatically initiated to remedy the problem of the detected unauthorized program.
