Abstract: A radio controlled model vehicle system, transmitter, and method are provided. The radio controlled model vehicle system includes a transmitter containing a transbrake actuator and a throttle input producing throttle commands. The radio controlled model vehicle may include a receiver that receives the throttle commands sent by the transmitter. Wherein the transmitter sends the throttle command corresponding to a position of the throttle input to the receiver when the transbrake actuator is not engaged and sends a throttle command corresponding to a neutral position of the throttle input when the transbrake actuator is engaged. In addition, wherein a motor of the radio controlled model vehicle is powered at a rate corresponding to the throttle command.

Abstract: A method of determining a state of a model vehicle using an electric motor is provided. During a sample period, the method may include measuring raw variables, including determining a first and a second voltage relative to a battery ground. Further, the method may include extracting state variables from the first and second voltages. The measuring of the raw variables may be repeated until the end of the sample period. The method may also include determining a tentative state from the state variables. Still further, the method may include setting a model vehicle state equal to a tentative state if the tentative state is equal to a previous tentative state. Still further including actuating a model vehicle component based upon the model vehicle state and setting the previous tentative state equal to the tentative state. Additionally, the method may include repeating the process for another sample period.

Abstract: An access gateway node couples a control node to an external data network, where the control node and access gateway node are for use in a wireless communications network. The access gateway node comprises a data function to route packets containing traffic data between the control node and the external data network. An interface to the control node enables exchange of control messages between the data function and a control function in the control node.

Abstract: Handover is performed from a first radio network controller to a second radio network controller, where the first and second radio network controllers are associated with corresponding first and second control nodes. An access gateway node receives at least one command that is transmitted by one of the first and second control nodes associated with the respective first and second radio network controllers, where the access gateway node contains data functions of the first and second control nodes. In response to the at least one command, the access gateway node bicasts traffic data from the data functions for receipt by the first and second radio network controllers.

Abstract: To perform load balancing across plural processing entities, load level indications associated with plural processing entities are received. The load level indications are representations based on applying a concave function on loadings of the plural processing entities. A processing entity is selected from among the plural processing entities to assign work according to the load level indications.

Abstract: A method of putting a first gateway device into service, the first gateway device having an application service module and a network module enabling communications between the first gateway device and the activation manager, the application service module residing on a user premises side of a network service provider demarcation. The method comprises identifying, at the first gateway device disposed at a user premises, an activation manager in communication with the first gateway device, transmitting, from the first gateway device, an activation certificate to the activation manager for verification and authentication, generating a service authentication key associated with the first gateway device, storing the service authentication key and an indication that the associated gateway device status is activated in a database, determining the services available to the first gateway device, and transmitting the service authentication key and an identification of the available services to the first gateway device.
