Abstract: A display apparatus for displaying a moving object traversing a virtual display region comprises two or more client computer devices each being configured to display a respective portion of the virtual display region, in which each respective portion is defined by a set of edges, each edge being classified as a hard edge, from which the moving object is reflected, or a soft edge through which the moving object is allowed to pass; and a path controller, associated with each client computer device, for defining a path of the moving object with respect to the portion of the virtual display region which is displayed by that client computer device; the path controller being configured, when the path controller defines a path which intersects a soft edge of that client computer device's portion of the virtual display region, to transmit data defining the path of the moving object for use at least by another client computer device which displays the next portion of the virtual display region which will lie within th

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for connecting a computer device to a communication network, the computer device being provided with an operating system using a kernel protocol stack to connect to a pool of first communication networks known to an administrator of the computer device. The method includes introducing a second protocol stack, aside from the kernel protocol stack, for connecting the computer device to a second communication network not belonging to the known pool of first communication networks.

Abstract: Method for connecting a host computer device to a wireless communication network, the host computer device being provided with an operating system with at least one pre-installed generic driver providing a generic communication protocol (7) for communication between the host computer device and a standard class of computer peripheral devices other than wireless modem devices, the method comprising the steps of: (a) connecting a wireless modem device to the host computer device; (b) setting up, by means of a pre-installed generic driver of the operating system on the computer device, a modem/host communication interface (6) for communication between the wireless modem device and the computer device; (c) connecting the host computer device to a wireless communication network via the wireless modem device; (d) routing data traffic (8-9) between the host computer device and the wireless communication network over the modem/host communication interface (6).

Abstract: A method for data transport optimization in a telecommunication network, in particular, for implementation in a packet switched telecommunication network. The network typically includes at least a first access node, which usually provides access to the telecommunication network. At least a first optimization node, typically including a performance enhancement proxy functionality, is commonly located between a core of the telecommunication network and the at least first access node. Data is generally sent at least from the core in the direction of the at least first access node, from which the data is then typically sent to at least a first client having access to the telecommunication network, usually via an access link to the access node. The access link normally has a varying data transport capacity. Also, a network element generally useful for implementing the method.
