Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for dynamically selecting an authentication virtual server from a plurality of authentication virtual servers. A traffic management virtual server may determine from a request received from a client to access content of a server that the client has not been authenticated. The traffic management virtual server can identify a policy for selecting an authentication virtual server to provide authentication of the client. Responsive to the identification, the traffic management virtual server can select, via the policy, an authentication virtual server of the plurality of authentication virtual servers to authenticate the client. Responsive to the request, the traffic management virtual server may transmit a response to the client The response includes an instruction to redirect to the selected authentication virtual server.

Abstract: A mountable water spray shield device is shown herein. A rigid sheet attached to a rear insert section is placed by way of a mounting means attached to the undercarriage of a designated vehicle and within the area defined by the wheel well of the designated vehicle. Once placed within the mounting means, a fastening means secures the rigid sheet and insert section to the mounting means. During operation of the designated vehicle upon a wet roadway, the mountable water spray shield serves to divert water which would otherwise be emitted into the path of adjacent traffic.

Abstract: The present application enables the enterprise to configure various policies to address various subsets of the traffic based on various information relating the client, the server, or the details and nature of the interactions between the client and the server. An intermediary deployed between clients and servers may establish an SSL VPN session between a client and a server. The intermediary may receiving a response from a server to a request of a client via the clientless SSL VPN session. The response may comprise one or more cookies. The intermediary may identify an access profile for the clientless SSL VPN session. The access profile may identify one or more policies for proxying cookies. The intermediary may determine, responsive to the one or more policies of the access profile, whether to proxy or bypass proxying for the client the one or more cookies.

Abstract: A lighting device is disclosed comprising a plurality of light emitters and a heat spreader plate thermally coupled to the plurality of light emitters, wherein the plurality of solid state emitters provides a thermal load upon application of an operating current and voltage, the heat spreader plate dissipating substantially all of the thermal load to an ambient air environment.

Abstract: An illuminated sign has a primary light source in spaced apart relation to a transparent or translucent substrate having quantum dot phosphors printed or coated thereon. The primary light source may be a blue LED, a white LED or an LED having a significant portion of its emission in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. The LED may be a backlight for the transparent or translucent substrate and/or an edge light, a down light or an up light.

Abstract: In various embodiments, the present invention provides a light emitting device cap configured for location on a light emitting device comprising or consisting essentially of a primary light source. The cap defines a well region within which is received a population of semiconductor nanoparticles such that the semiconductor nanoparticles are in optical communication with the primary light source of the light emitting device when the cap is located on the light emitting device. There is further provided a light emitting device comprising or consisting essentially of a primary light source and such a cap, as well as methods for fabricating such a cap and device.

Abstract: In a method and system for routing packets between clients, a packet is received from a first client connected to a secure sockets layer virtual private network (an SSL/VPN) network appliance. An identification is made, responsive to an inspection of the received packet, of i) a type of connection required for transmission of the received packet to a destination address identified by the received packet and ii) a second client connected via an SSL/VPN connection to the SSL/VPN network appliance and associated with the identified destination address. A request is made for establishment by the second client of a connection of the identified type within the SSL/VPN connection. The received packet is transmitted to the second client via the established connection of the identified type.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a module for adding a defined functionality to a lighting fixture. In one embodiment, the module is configured to provide wireless communication capability to a lighting fixture. The module may include a housing that is removably attachable to the lighting fixture. The module may also include electronics that are contained within the housing and adapted to communicate with a driver module of the lighting fixture and wirelessly communicate with at least one remote entity to provide wireless communication capability to the lighting fixture.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a lighting fixture that includes a driver module and at least one other module that provides a lighting fixture function, such as a sensor function, lighting network communication function, gateway function, and the like. The driver module communicates with the other modules in a master/slave scheme over a communication bus. The driver module is configured as a slave communication device, and the other modules are configured as master communication devices. As such, the other modules may initiate communications with the driver to send information to or retrieve information from the driver module.

Abstract: A lighting network where control of the lighting fixtures in the network may be distributed among the lighting fixtures. The lighting fixtures may be broken into groups that are associated with different lighting zones. Certain lighting fixtures will have or be associated with one or more sensors, such as occupancy sensors, ambient light sensors, and the like. Within the lighting network or the various lighting zones, lighting fixtures may share sensor data. Each lighting fixture may process sensor data provided by its own sensor, a remote standalone sensor, or lighting fixture, and process the sensor data according to the lighting fixture's own internal logic to control operation. The lighting fixtures may also receive control input from other lighting fixtures, control nodes, light switches, and commissioning tools. The control input may be processed along with the sensor data according to the internal logic to further enhance control of the lighting fixture.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards an adjusted display interface method and apparatus for displaying the charge condition of a battery in a gateway or similar device. In accordance with implementations of the present principles, a mapping is created between the actual battery charge percentage and a desired battery display condition that includes several conditional display levels configured to avoid user confusion.

Abstract: A system, method, and medium for performing data duplication from a first storage device to a second storage device at a block level. A backup application processes metadata prior to replicating the data to determine the best method for performing the duplication operation. Several images may be selected for duplication, and instead of copying the images one at a time, the backup application copies data from the first storage device to the second storage device block-by-block. The catalog metadata may be updated so that the backup application may be made aware of the new copy of data. The replicated data may be accessed for future restore operations such that individual files may be retrieved from the replicated data by the backup application.
