  • Patent number: 11962592
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing application, service, and/or content access control. Based at least in part on a consumer's choice of applications, services, content, and/or content providers—particular in exchange for a subsidy on content and/or network access fees provided to the consumer by chosen content providers—, a computing system may determine whether access to applications, services, and/or content not associated with the chosen content providers (“other content”) should be allowed or restricted. If restricted, the computing system might utilize various network access techniques and/or technologies to block the consumer's access to the other content, to allow access to the other content on a charge per access basis, or to allow access to the other content at reduced network access speeds. In some embodiments, an access provider (e.g., an Internet service provider, etc.) might perform both determination and implementation of content access and restriction.

  • Patent number: 11934860
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing network experience shifting, and, in particular embodiments, using either a roaming or portable hypervisor associated with a user or a local hypervisor unassociated with the user. In some embodiments, a network node in a first network might receive, via a first network access device in a second network, a request from a user device to establish roaming network access, and might authenticate a user associated with the user device, the user being unassociated with the first network access device. Based on a determination that the user is authorized to access data, content, profiles, and/or software applications that are accessible via a second network access device, the network node might establish a secure private connection through a hypervisor or container communicatively coupled to the first network access device to provide the user with access to her data, content, profiles, and/or software applications.

  • Publication number: 20090238760
    Abstract: Hexahydroindenopyridine compounds are disclosed which act as contraceptive agents by disrupting spermatogenesis, acting as spermicides or sperm motility inhibitors and/or act as antifungals; antispermatogenic, sperm motility inhibitors, spermicidal or antifungal compositions containing the compounds; and methods for disrupting spermatogenesis, inhibiting sperm motility, killing motile sperm or treating fungi using the compounds and compositions. Also disclosed are radioactive compounds which may be used to study the binding of antifertility compounds to specific sites in the body and the use of such compounds for that purpose.
