Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may establish a connection with a server through a wireless network. The UE may receive, from the server and via the connection through the wireless network, at least one of a firmware image file or a software image file. The UE may transmit at least one of the firmware image file or the software image file to a computing device. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: An irritation member having a housing, wherein the housing has a front side and a rear side, as well as lateral surfaces connecting the front side and the rear side. The front side and rear side are larger than the lateral surfaces, thereby producing a parallelepipedal housing. The irritation member has blow-out openings on the lateral surfaces and an actuation element that is provided in a recess of the housing. In the event of non-actuation, the actuation element is thereby received in the recess of the housing and thus does not increase the size of the housing. As a result, the irritation member does not look like a conventional irritation member.

Abstract: A system and method for providing PBX-like functionality at a mobile location includes the capability of maintaining a network session with a mobile number associated with a remote worker. The system utilizes a remote office platform interposed between a data communications network and a conventional PBX switch. A remotely located individual (such as a telecommuter) “logs in” to the remote office platform and, once the individual is authenticated, PBX-like communication with the mobile device is established. If the device is a computer-enabled device and includes a display, the platform can enable a graphical user interface emulating a PBX station set to the device. Alternatively, the remote worker can enter either spoken commands or series of DTMF sequences to utilize the PBX-like features. For these applications, the remote office platform includes a speech recognition module and a translation table for converting a sequence of DTMF tones into a PBX-like call feature (e.g., transfer, hold, mute, etc.).

Abstract: A system and method for providing PBX-like functionality at a remote office location includes the capability of maintaining a network session with a mobile number associated with the remote worker once the worker terminates the remote office session. The system utilizes a remote office platform interposed between a data communications network and a conventional PBX switch (located either at a subscriber-based office location or within the communication network and shared by a number of different subscribers). A remotely located individual (such as a telecommuter) “logs in” to the remote office platform and, once the individual is authenticated, a graphical user interface (GUI) emulating a PBX station set is enabled at the remote employee's personal computer, the GUI including a field for entry of the user's mobile number.

Abstract: A method of handling incoming calls directed to a virtual communication subscriber is disclosed. An incoming call intended for the virtual communication subscriber is received at a first communication device. A call is placed to a second communication device using contact information provided by the virtual communication subscriber. Extension information is provided to a guest PBX when the call is answered which corresponds to a communication line associated with the second communication device. Upon connection to the second communication device, the incoming call is bridged with the call placed to the second communication device.

Abstract: A network interface unit is provided for use intermediate a LAN and a public or private network, or a combination of both, for establishing secure links to a VPN gateway. Login by a LAN client with the network interface unit, addressing, authentication, and other configuration operations achieved using a web page-based GUI are applied in establishing tunnels from LAN clients to desired VPN destinations. Illustrative network interface units include a DHCP server and provide encryption-decryption and encapsulation-decapsulation of data packets for communication with VPN nodes. Configuration and connection of a client are further enhanced by a built-in DNS server and other functional servers to provide a high degree of autonomy in establishing connections to a desired VPN gateway via an ISP or other public and/or private network links to. The interface unit then performs required authentication exchanges, and required encryption key exchanges.

Abstract: A system includes a first layer of a first polymeric material being visco-elastic when solidified. The first polymeric material covers a first portion of a substrate. A second layer of a second polymeric material (being stiff when solidified) covers at least a portion of the first layer and at least a second portion of the substrate. Additionally, a method includes applying a layer of first polymeric material to a first portion of a substrate. The first polymeric material is visco-elastic when solidified. Additionally, a layer of a second polymeric material (being stiff when solidified) is applied to the first polymeric material and a second portion of the substrate. The first polymeric material is constrained between the second polymeric material and the substrate. Both of the first polymeric material and the second polymeric material are dispensed in fluid form from a bulk source of fluid material.

Abstract: The present invention comprises methods for the pretreatment of substrates, including without limitation, metal or glass surfaces, with activators of reduced VOC content. Preferred embodiments of the invention comprise activators containing methyl acetate as a solvent, at least one adhesion promoter, and a luminescent agent responsive to light of specific wavelengths. In some embodiments, without limitation, an activator composition of reduced VOC content and also comprising a luminescent agent is applied to a substrate before application of additional adhesives or paints, and the substrate is examined under a controlled light source as required to excite the luminescent agent. The luminescent agent in the activator composition appears distinctly where the activator has been applied to the surface, allowing one to detect whether the activator has been properly applied.
