Publication number: 20170111478Abstract: Methods and systems for processing data requests in a client-server computing environment, such as the Web, are disclosed. A client device initially transmits a data request to a randomly selected first server device. The first server device may reject the data request if its request queue threshold is exceeded. The client device retransmits the data request, including the request queue threshold, to a randomly selected second server device. The second server device may reject the data request if the request queue threshold of the first server device is smaller than a request queue threshold of the second server device. The client device transmits the data request back to the first server device, including the request queue threshold of the second server device. The first server device processes the data request and adjusts its request queue threshold based on the request queue thresholds of the first and second server devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2016Publication date: April 20, 2017Inventors: Vivek Rai, Dan Mihai Dumitriu, Swaminathan Sivasubramanian

Publication number: 20170111519Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method in a network node (1) of a communication network (5). The method comprises determining from signalling with a cellular RAN (4) and/or a wireless transceiver (3) that a radio device (2) is within range (6) of the wireless transceiver, said radio device being connected to the communication network over the cellular RAN. The method also comprises redirecting, through signalling with one or more billing servers (7) connected to the communication network, at least some billing for resources used by the radio device via the cellular RAN, from a first subscription to a second subscription, as a result of said determining that the radio device is within range of the wireless transceiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2014Publication date: April 20, 2017Inventors: Bengt Lindoff, Iwe Lingström, Leif Wilhelmsson

Publication number: 20170111520Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for controlling the distribution of power (e.g., current) and the temperature to individually accessible compartments enclosing subsystems of a personal communication structure (PCS) is described. The PCS includes a power distribution and temperature controller subsystem, including thermal sensors adapted to generate and transmit temperature measurement data to the temperature controller, which controls fans/blowers. The power distribution subsystem senses and controls the current delivered to the individually accessible compartments.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2016Publication date: April 20, 2017Inventors: Kyle Robert Bowers, Parag Naginlal Shah

Publication number: 20170111521Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for controlling access to a personal communication structure (PCS) are described. The PCS may include independently accessible compartments at least partially enclosing respective subsystems of the PCS. The independently accessible compartments may include an electronics compartment, a communications compartment, and a display compartment. The electronics compartment may be disposed along a lower portion of the PCS, and may at least partially enclose a power distribution subsystem. The communications compartment may be located proximate a top of the PCS, and may at least partially enclose a communications subsystem. The display compartment may be disposed along an upper portion of the PCS, and may at least partially enclose a display subsystem. Access to the interior of a compartment may be provided to authorized users without providing access to interiors of other independently accessible compartments.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2015Publication date: April 20, 2017Applicant: Civiq Smartscapes, LLCInventors: Kyle R.

Publication number: 20170111523Abstract: Barcode verifiers automate the verification process by capturing an image of the printed barcode and analyzing the image according to an industry specification. Industry specifications (e.g., ISO/IEC 15416,15415) identify common printing errors and prescribe test methods for detecting and quantifying these errors. Typically, these tests sample a barcode along one or more scan lines. Print errors that are parallel to these scan lines may be missed by the test. The present invention embraces a system and method to detect unprinted lines in barcodes resulting from a printer malfunction and produce a printer malfunction report with information regarding the quantity, position, and magnitude of these print errors.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2016Publication date: April 20, 2017Inventor: H. Sprague Ackley
