Abstract: A method for establishing a network connection between a mobile device and a network device includes determining whether the mobile device has previously established a network connection with the network device, and determining whether the mobile device and the network device can connect using information corresponding to a previously established network connection. If the mobile device has not previously established a network connection with the network device or if the mobile device and the network device cannot connect using above information, the method includes determining whether one or more records of network connections corresponding to the network device exist, and determining if the mobile device and the network device can connect using information included in those records. If the mobile device and the network device can connect using the above information or records, the transmitter component of the mobile device establishes a new network connection with the network device.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for shaping data traffic in a local area network (LAN) are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving data traffic information from one or more sensors of a plurality of network elements within the LAN, determining that a data traffic shaping action is required based on a comparison of the data traffic information to one or more rules stored in a rules engine and transmitting a control signal to a gateway to configure the gateway to process the data traffic in accordance with the data traffic shaping action.

Abstract: A portable solar power collection and storage system integrated into a body affixed to a towable trailer vehicle, which in a preferred configuration may require no complicated setup steps or even no setup steps at all, and may be not wind vulnerable due to integrated body construction with substantially contained rather than extended solar panel(s). The system may further include water pumping and treatment equipment.
