Abstract: A method for electronic device virtualization and management includes transmitting a signal to a server from a client. The signal is initiated by a user of a user interface of the client. The user interface of the client presents at least two devices to the user, which the user may interact with. The signal may include a power cycling instruction directed to at least one of the devices. When the server receives a communication back from the at least one device, it may send the information to the client, where the user interface may be updated in response to the communication. The devices may be controlled with other instructions, such as scheduling instructions, firmware update instructions, and configuration backup instructions. If a power device is virtualized, it may be controlled on a port-by-port basis.

Abstract: An optical finger navigation module includes a light source configured for emitting light in a first spectrum; a cover housing disposed above the light source, the cover housing including a window plate that is configured to transmit light in at least the first spectrum, and a light guiding structure that is configured to transmit light in at least a second spectrum; a first light sensor configured to sense light in the first spectrum originally emitted by the light source, reflected by an object, and then transmitted through the window plate; a second light sensor configured to sense light in the second spectrum transmitted through the light guiding structure or the window plate; and a substrate. The light source, the cover housing, the first light sensor and the second light sensor are coupled and mounted to the substrate.

Abstract: An active optical connector using an audio port includes a plug insertable into a jack having an optical transceiver module. A conductor is mounted on the plug. Optical fibers extend through a central bore of the plug and have front ends held in a fiber ferrule. The jack has a terminal for contacting the conductor on the plug. The optical transceiver module has a receptacle for receiving the fiber ferrule. A light source emits light to an optical fiber, and a photo-detector receives light from another optical fiber. A controller chip has a converting circuit configured to convert electrical signals into optical signal and optical signals into electrical signals.

Abstract: An approach is provided for supporting special call services and applications in a data network. A request message is generated for establishment of a voice session over a data network. The request message specifies that the voice session is special as to permit a non-subscriber to establish the voice session for a predetermined duration.

Abstract: A ceiling-mountable wireless access point includes a ceiling box with a wing bracket and a wireless access point. The access point is receivable in the ceiling box, with the ceiling box mountable in a drywall installation. The wing bracket couples with ceiling box to secure the apparatus in a ceiling. A power-over-Ethernet module may be provided to eliminate the need for a dedicated power supply at the installation site.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and apparatus for precise dilution of concentrated samples enabling their spectra to be obtained. The spectra thus obtained may then be used for calculation of the aromatic hydrocarbon content in the concentrated samples. This invention comprises an arrangement of computer-controlled pumps, an injection valve, a mixing chamber, a flow cell (these components are known as "the manifold") and a scanning spectrophotometer, with a sophisticated computational software program. The arrangement generates a reproducible, well-defined gradient from a concentrated sample which is continuously scanned and, using the computational software, allows the spectrum of the sample to be derived, even where the majority of the spectrum for the undiluted sample has an absorbance greater than the upper measurable limit of the spectrophotometer.
