Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for controlling access relationships between entities in a computerized system. A chain of access relationships from a first entity via at least one intermediate entity to a second entity is determined. At least one direct access relationship is then created between the first entity and the second entity based on information of the determined chain of access relationships.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to access relationships, more particularly to controlling access relationships between entities in a computerized system. In the disclose arrangement a first access relationship between a first entity and a second entity is determined. At least one intermediate entity is selected for routing of a second access relationship between the first entity and the second entity via the at least one intermediate entity. The second access relationship is created, the second access relationship comprising a chain of access relationships via the first entity, the at least one intermediate entity and the second entity.

Abstract: An approach is provided for recycling information fragments in information spaces. An information management system detects a plurality of information management processes occurring in an information space. The information management processes retrieve one or more information fragments from the information space. The information management system then determines a sequence of states for each of the plurality of information management processes over a period of time and calculates a state trajectory from each of the sequence of states. The calculated state trajectories are used to predict a finite set of possible future states. The information management system uses the prediction to determine which of the one or more information fragments are recyclable and preserves the recyclable information fragments for responding to a subsequent request directed to the information space.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product example embodiments enable devices to disconnect a communication connection. In an example embodiment, a method includes measuring, by an apparatus, a power level of one or more wireless communication messages received from a selected wireless device over a wireless communication connection, after an interval following an establishment of the wireless communication connection; and disconnecting, by the apparatus, the wireless communication connection with the selected wireless device, if the one or more wireless communication messages received over the wireless communication connection, has a measured power level greater than a threshold value.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for performing a query using a decision diagram. In this regard, in response to receiving a query instruction a compression value for a query result decision diagram can be determined. A compression value for a compressed query result set may also be determined. A compression ratio can be determined between the compression value for the query result decision diagram and the compression value for a compressed query result set. A query result decision diagram may be generated based on the query instruction and a relationship between the compression ratio and a threshold ratio. The query result decision diagram may also be transmitted based upon a relationship between the compression ratio and a threshold ratio.

Abstract: An approach is provided for automatic controlled value expansion of information. A value expansion controller detects a request at a device to perform an information operation on a set of data elements of an information space, wherein the request identifies the set by a name and the information operation applies to each data element within the set. The value expansion controller intercepts the request based on the detection and determines the location of the data elements within a communication network based on the name. The value expansion controller retrieves the data elements from the location and populates an expansion table with the retrieved data elements, wherein the expansion table is correlated to the set. The value expansion controller performs the information operation on each data element in the expansion table and causes transmission of one or more results of the information operation to the device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a precipitation detector (1) and method for measurement of precipitation parameters. The detector (1) comprises a frame (5), a surface (2) mounted on the frame (5) and adapted to receive hydrometeors, and detection means (3) for converting the impact impulses of hydrometeors into an electric signal. According to the invention, the surface (2) receiving the impact of the hydrometeors is convex, stiff and rigidly connected to the detector frame (4) with the detection means (3) being permanently connected to the surface (2) receiving the impact of the hydrometeors.
