Abstract: An electronic communication network comprises a server platform and client data processing devices. Each client data processing device is configured to submit electronic messages to the server platform, provided with a timestamp. The server platform is configured to process incoming electronic messages strictly in a sequence corresponding to the timestamp. The electronic communication network comprising at least one switch, wherein the switch is arranged to receive electronic messages from a plurality of the client data processing devices. the switch comprises a buffer and is configured to store the electronic messages produced by the client data processing devices in the buffer, and to transfer the electronic messages in a manner sorted according to the timestamp provided to each electronic message by the time generator of the client data processing device submitting the electronic message, so that the electronic message with the oldest time is transferred first.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device supported by the chassis, a body assembly, and a power distribution unit. The energy storage device is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The body assembly is configured for storing refuse and is supported by the chassis. The power distribution unit is coupled to the energy storage device and is configured to control power transmission outward from the energy storage device. The body assembly includes a controller that communicates with the power distribution unit to adjust a flow of electrical power from the energy storage device to the body assembly.

Abstract: A method for implementing an electronically-based negotiation session between users within an ESN. The method includes sending a message including a request portion and a response portion from a first user to a second user in a round of successive rounds, and in response to receiving the message from the first user, sending a message from the second user to the first user in a subsequent round, the message from the second user including a response portion responsive to the request portion of the message from the first user and a request portion. When a new round is performed, evaluating whether an agreement exists by checking messages previously exchanged, and exchanging subsequent messages, when any rounds remain and the session has not been terminated, and granting access and exchanging data between the users, executing actions, and setting policies as negotiated, when the session has been terminated and an agreement exists.

Abstract: A method comprising, defining a social network U={u, u?, . . . }, defining a set of relationships between users O?U×U, defining a set of attributes of the social network A={a1, a2, . . . }, defining a set of contacts of the user u, defining a user profile of the user u Iu=Au?Uu, defining a metric M={m1, m2, . . . }, receiving a rating of a metric of user u? from the user u, defining a condition c?C, defining a set of elements Z={z1, z2, . . . }, receiving a request for access to Iu from user u?, determining authorization for user u? to access a subset of Iu by an access control function U×U×Pow(R)×C?Pow(Iu×Z), and outputting a subset of Iu to user u? as determined by the access control function.

Abstract: The floor drain possesses an inlet housing (11), which has an opening for floor water to be led away and which is connectable to a wall drain opening of a vertical wall. On the inlet housing (11) are arranged connecting means (44), which are adjustable with respect to the vertical wall and with which the inlet housing (11) can be connected in a sealtight manner to the vertical wall. The connecting means (44) are preferably adjustable in depth and/or height. They have at least one sealing foil (24), with which the connecting means (44) can be sealed against a floor (6) and/or a panelling (14).

Abstract: The present invention describes a new system and method for modeling and dynamically deploying services into a distributed networking architecture, especially in a service-oriented architecture. The service container being part of distributed networking architecture exposes its functionality as services. It provides a registration service for deploying service descriptions. Having created a new service description in any declarative description language (i.e. a description of a (stateful) service e.g. a stateful Web service), the description provider invokes the registration service at the service container that allows to register (i.e. deploy) that new service description during runtime without restarting service container. The service container is responsible to analyze and check the submitted new service description for validity, to store the service description and to make it available for interested services consumers for instantiation.
