  • Patent number: 7536280
    Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for synchronizing the execution of tests between or among multi-sided test components in a wireless environment are described. Multiple flows are initiated substantially simultaneously. Execution is then paused in at least one of the flows. The paused flow sends a request for permission to resume execution to a sync servlet. The sync servlet does not respond affirmatively to the request until an appropriate synchronization signal is received from an unpaused flow, and then only after a desired test component in the unpaused flow has been executed. The paused flow is resumed upon receiving the appropriate synchronization signal from the sync servlet.

  • Patent number: 7308611
    Abstract: A system for initiating a connection to a wireless network using a wireless modem, where the system maintains the connection to the wireless network when the wireless modem becomes idle. The system determines that there is a problem using the wireless modem by monitoring the status of the wireless modem. In response to a determination that there is a problem using the wireless modem, the system automatically cycles power to the wireless modem and again initiates a connection to the wireless network using the wireless modem. The system may be implemented by an apparatus having a power control device with a power outlet coupled to a wireless modem. The control device controls power to the power outlet according to received power control commands that are based on the status of the wireless modem.

  • Patent number: 7203625
    Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for sharing or transferring dynamically-generated data between or among multi-sided test components in a wireless environment are described. Multiple flows are initiated substantially simultaneously. Dynamically generated data are shared between or among agents using dynamic data content servlets that employ open communication standards or protocols, such as HTTP or HTTPS.

The system determines that there is a problem using the wireless modem by monitoring the status of the wireless modem. In response to a determination that there is a problem using the wireless modem, the system automatically cycles power to the wireless modem and again initiates a connection to the wireless network using the wireless modem. The system may be implemented by an apparatus having a power control device with a power outlet and a first communication interface receiving power control commands. The control device controls power to the power outlet according to the received power control commands. A wireless modem is coupled to the power control device. A controlling device has a second communication interface through which the controlling device monitors the status of the wireless modem device.
