Abstract: A structure for repelling flying insects from a selected space is described. The structure includes a cover, extending over the space, a support means to position and support the cover, an insect repellant dispersal means, which in a preferred embodiment includes an air circulation device, positioned beneath the cover, and a source of insect repellant positioned relative to the insect repellant dispersal means. In a preferred embodiment, the source of insect repellant includes citronella, which is introduced in the space in vaporous form, and is dispersed throughout the space by the insect repellant dispersal means.

Abstract: A method of monitoring the availability of a network on a monitor web page, includes the steps of: reading query information and depositing query requests into a corresponding one of a plurality of request queues; reading the query requests from the corresponding request queue and sending the query requests to at least one remote network device by sending calls over the IP or SNA network; receiving a reply to the calls from the at least one remote network device indicating an availability status of the at least one remote network device and processing the availability status; depositing the processed availability status in a Web Site Queue; and retrieving the processed availability status from the Web Site Queue and displaying status information for the at least one network device on the monitor web page, the status information being derived from the processed availability status.
