Abstract: A baby-on-board indictor system including a placard reminder disposed on or integrated into a fabric seat back or seat bottom of a child car seat, and a placard removably affixed to the placard reminder. When the placard is removed from the car seat for temporary placement, it may be displayed in a vehicle window to alert outsiders that an infant is an occupant in the vehicle. When the infant is removed from the car seat, the placard reminder is readily seen and prompts a user to remove the placard from the vehicle window and replace it over the placard reminder. First responders are usefully informed of the actual presence of a child in a vehicle and not misled as to the presence of a child in the vehicle when a child is not, in fact, an occupant.

Abstract: A network communication system and method providing a communication protocol extension for direct memory access operations allowing the separation of the command and data paths. The identification of the communication path to a third-party device is provided to a direct-memory-access initiator allowing the passing of data directly to the third-party device.

Abstract: A network system gateway and method providing remote direct memory access controls to separate data path from control path. Control operations are passed between the gateway and a control processor node, and data is passed between the gateway and a memory node via remote direct memory access operations. The memory node may also receive instructions for the remote direct memory access operations through proxy remote direct memory access messages received from the control processor node.

Abstract: The invention provides a networking system, network system gateway, and method for managing the transfer of data between networks interconnected through the gateway. The gateway manages the communication paths and commands used in transferring data, as well as the logins associated with each network. The gateway further provides the ability to buffer data in order to accommodate latencies within the networks. Additionally, the gateway provides the ability to pipeline data across the networks.

Abstract: The Adjustable Work Piece Clamping System permits a work piece to be held firmly on a work surface. It employs a clamping member having a spiral outer surface, this clamping member being pivotally attached to the work surface, preferably by a pin linked to the clamping member and received in one of a grid of openings provided in the work surface. It may employ other members adjustably attached to the work surface, preferably by pins, these members including a fence, an adjustable clamping member incorporating a pivotally attached shoe, and various other components set forth in the following specification. By employing the clamping member and these other components, a work piece of most any material may be firmly and quickly fixed on the work surface in virtually any position for cutting, face finishing or assembly, then easily removed upon completion of the operation.
