  • Publication number: 20230402772
    Abstract: A twinax cable assembly comprises a cable lacing section between the assembly end sections. The cable assembly includes twinax cable sets of twinax cables. Each cable includes a pair of conductors spaced apart in a lateral direction. Each of the cable sets has connector ends where each of the cables in the cable sets connects to a terminal component. A tie bar is mounted on one end and another tie bar is mounted on the other end between the lacing section and the ends of the cables. The cables in each cable set lace through the other cable sets with the pair of conductors in each of the twinax cables substantially aligned in the lateral direction such that when the cable assembly bends substantially around a bend axis in the lateral direction the pairs of conductors in each of the twinax cables remain substantially aligned in the lateral direction.

  • Patent number: 9185359
    Abstract: A status of each camera in a plurality of facilities is requested and is stored in memory. Cameras in different facilities are grouped and for each group, a measure of a quantity of cameras in the group that are not operational is determined based on the status stored for each camera. A user interface is generated that recommends moving all cameras in a group to a new location in each respective facility if the measure of the quantity of cameras that are not operational in the group exceeds a threshold.

  • Patent number: 7310350
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for allowing mobile device users to participate in an online survey community by entering opinions and reading opinions of other through their mobile devices. The mobile devices need not support the same protocol as the server that manages and provides the survey information. In particular, a system is provided in which users of WAP-enabled mobile phones can enter opinion information into their WAP phones immediately after an event that is the subject of a survey, even though a Web server that uses a protocol not supported by the phones manages the survey data. Further, a feature is provided to defer the transmission of the opinion data from the phone, thereby allowing the opinion data to be batched, or to be entered even when the phone network is not available.

  • Patent number: 7302463
    Abstract: An improved mechanism for sharing information across a plurality of wireless content providers is disclosed. Users make requests for, and display, content through a mobile device. These requests for content are translated by a WAP gateway and sent to a web server to service the request. Data from the request for content that can be reused is stored externally to a mobile device. Upon a request for content, the user may, in lieu of manual entry, select from a list of data presented through a mobile device that will be used in servicing the request for content. Data manually entered or displayed in a mobile device in interacting with one content provider is available for selection in subsequent content requests with any content provider. By reducing the number of manual entries, the present invention significantly increases the usability of content services through mobile devices.

  • Publication number: 20070106873
    Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for translating addresses and rerouting them to preferably one of at least two destinations. This is accomplished through the use of a memory unit and a combination of logic operation units that essentially operate as a look-up translation table configurable by software. The apparatus includes an input to receive an address of a certain length and a memory unit that is adapted to receive a portion of the input address and output another address of a predetermined length which is mapped to the input. The method includes receiving input addresses of a certain length and performing an operation on a portion of the input address to determine its destination.
