Abstract: A method f or determining if a multiplicity of networks (11, 12, 13, 14) are authorized to communicate with each other and what IP protocol can be used for communication between each combination of two of the networks. For each network, a computer readable data base stores a record of: (a) IP protocol(s) permitted to be used with said each network and, (b) types of other networks permitted to communicate to said each network. For said each network, a computer readable data base stores a record of IP protocols and destination and source networks permitted by a respective firewall (21, 24) or router (23) for said each network. For said each network, a computer readable data base stores a record of a type of said each network. Multiple combinations of the networks are automatically identified. Each of the combinations comprises a source network and a destination network. For each of the combinations, based on the records, it is automatically determined if each of the networks in the combination is permitted to communicate with the other network in the combination and what IP protocol(s) are common to both of the networks in the combination.

Title: Advance notification system for use with vehicular transportation
Inventor: JONES MARTIN KELLY
IPC: G08G1/123
Filed: 1996-10-04
Granted: 2010-04-06
Abstract: An advance notification system and method notifies passengers of the impending arrival of a transportation vehicle, for example, a school bus, at a particular vehicle stop. The system generally includes an on-board vehicle control unit for each vehicle and a base station control unit for making telephone calls to passengers in order to inform the passengers when the vehicle is a certain predefined time period and/or distance away from the vehicle stop. The VCU compares elapsed time and/or traveled distance to the programmed scheduled time and/or traveled distance to determine if the vehicle is on schedule. If the vehicle is behind or ahead of schedule, the VCU calls the BSCU, which then adjusts its calling schedule accordingly. Significantly, a calling report generator in the BSCU allows a system user to solicit a calling report from the BSCU that indicates the time(s) and outcome(s) of any previous notification attempts(s) by the BSCU to the user telephone.

Abstract: The subject invention is a system for dispensing a controlled amount of fluid product from a dispensing container which includes a pneumatically driven dispensing actuator. This actuator includes a dispensing cylinder and a movable dispensing piston. The dispensing piston is movable under pneumatic pressure within the cylinder, the cylinder including a volume of hydraulic fluid under the pneumatic pressure acting against the dispensing piston to selectively prevent movement of the dispensing piston. The invention further includes a means for selectively reducing the volume of the hydraulic fluid in the dispensing cylinder to allow the controlled movement of the dispensing piston. The controlled movement of the dispensing piston causes controlled displacement of the fluid product from the dispensing container.  Advantageously, with the subject invention, a force may be generated and applied to a plunger, which can be accurately controlled. As will be recognized by those skilled in the art, the force results in movement of the plunger, which, in turn, translates into an accurate amount of fluid product being dispensed from the dispensing container.
