Abstract: An upstream network bridge connection request is received in a network device from first network component for connecting to a second network component. This upstream network bridge connection request is analyzed by the network bridge to determine if a network attack threat is associated with the client device requesting the upstream network bridge connection to the server device preferably by inspecting certain network metrics present in the downstream connection associated with the client device. If no, then a determination is made as to whether a preexisting upstream network bridge connection between the client device and the server device exists in a connection pool database. If yes, then the preexisting upstream network bridge connection is retrieved from the connection pool database and is implemented for creating an upstream network connection between the client and server devices.

Abstract: A method for gamifying driver speed compliance through a centralized computer system that interacts with photo radar capture devices. The system records vehicle speed and license plate data, categorizing speed readings as either compliant or non-compliant based on predefined speed limits. Each vehicle is assigned a speed compliance score, stored in a database, which is adjusted according to the vehicle's adherence to speed regulations. Positive compliance results in credit accumulation, while speeding incurs debits. Periodically, vehicles with positive compliance scores are eligible for rewards, which are distributed based on random selection or predefined criteria. This gamification approach incentivizes adherence to speed limits, thereby promoting safer driving habits, reducing road accidents, and minimizing environmental impact by lowering fuel consumption and emissions.
