Abstract: An approach is provided for communicating in a meshed network including a first terminal and a second terminal. A request from the first terminal for obtaining address information of the second terminal is submitted to a hub. The hub generates a response including the address information and the context information that specifies capabilities of the second terminal. This arrangement has particular applicability to a satellite network (e.g., Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) network) that provides data communication services.

Abstract: Ionic fluid mixtures are described that include an ionic liquid and a solid-phase material. The ionic liquid and the solid-phase material are selected to convert the solid-phase material into a gas phase material at a temperature that is lower than a conversion of the ionic liquid into a gas phase ionic material. In addition, methods of supplying a gaseous precursor to an application are described. These methods include providing a mixture of an ionic liquid and a solid-phase starting material, heating the mixture to a temperature that vaporizes at least a portion of the solid-phase starting material into the gaseous precursor, and transporting the gaseous precursor from the mixture to the application that utilizes the gaseous precursor.

Abstract: Novel uses and methods of use for inorganic and macroreticulate polymer bonding to metals to control moisture and oxygen in OLED, and other like devices, are provided. Materials having color change capacity are also provided for the removal of moisture from an OLED, where the material changes color upon reaching its capacity and thereby signals the user that the OLED is no longer protected from moisture damage.

Abstract: A method of reducing moisture in a fluorine-containing gas is described. The method may include the steps of providing a purifier material that includes elemental carbon, and flowing the unpurified fluorine-containing gas having an unpurified moisture concentration over or through the carbon-based purifier material. At least a portion of the moisture is captured in the purifier material so that a purified fluorine-containing gas that emerges downstream of the purifier material has a reduced moisture concentration that is about 50% or less of the unpurified moisture concentration.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining a leak rate of a gas from a closed valve is disclosed. The apparatus may include a vacuum pump, a pressure measuring device, a monitoring device, and a computer. The vacuum pump may be configured to couple downstream of the closed valve and decrease the pressure of the downstream side of the closed valve. The pressure measuring device may be configured to couple with the downstream side and determine the pressure. The monitoring device may be configured to couple with the downstream side and monitor a gas, where the gas may be emitted from the closed valve and be characterized by a mass. The monitoring device may further be configured to determine the mass. The computer may be configured to control the vacuum pump based on the pressure, and determine the leak rate of the gas based at least in part on the mass.

Abstract: An approach is provided for adapting multicast services originating from a terrestrial network over a satellite network. A request for establishing a multicast session corresponding to a network address of the terrestrial network is received at a hub station. The request specifies participating satellite terminals in the multicast session. The hub station assigns an address unique within the satellite network to map to the network address for the multicast session. The participating satellite terminals are configured with the assigned satellite address. A distribution mechanism is selected to transport dataflow of the multicast session to the participating satellite terminals. The distribution mechanism utilizes one or more spot beams covering the participating satellite terminals, wherein the selected distribution mechanism is switched to another one of the distribution mechanisms based on capacity of the satellite network and reachability of the participating satellite terminals.
