Abstract: A system and method for enabling a wireless terminal to access and operate ubiquitous devices ("UDs"), such as televisions, DVD players, etc. The system comprises a server coupled to access points and UDs via a LAN or a WLAN. Each access point is associated with both a map of an associated area and an overlay indicating the location of the UDs within that area. In response to wireless terminal requests relayed by an access point, the server retrieves the map and overlay associated with the access point, and transmits that data to the terminal for display. Alternatively, a list of UDs may be transmitted. Selection of a UD from the display causes an image of the UD's control panel to be displayed, from which the device may be remotely controlled by the user. A mechanism is also provided to permit users to display maps of areas other than the one in which the user is currently located to permit remote control of UDs in such areas.

Abstract: An altitude protection device for an acceleration protection suit having a plurality of liquid-filled veins is comprised of a bladder inserted in a pocket. A spacer fabric that is non-compressible under the loads to be provided is enclosed in the pocket and defines a minimum volume inside the bladder. The bladder is closed off or opened relative to surrounding air in the aircraft cabin via a valve that is opened if a rate of pressure change in the cabin is less than or equal to a presettable maximum value, and closed if the rate of pressure change is greater than the value. If the valve closes and the pressure falls further, air located in the bladder inflates the bladder and pocket, increasing tensile stress in the fabric, and thereby raising the internal pressure of the veins resulting in increased internal pressure in the entire acceleration protection suit.

Abstract: This invention relates to improvements in heat and moisture-shrink problems in polypropylene fibers. Such fibers require the presence of compounds that quickly and effectively provide rigidity to the fiber after heat-setting. These compounds include structures that nucleate polymer crystals within polypropylene after exposure to sufficient heat to melt the polymer and allowing the melt to cool. The compounds must nucleate polymer crystals at higher temperatures than the polypropylene without the nucleating agent during cooling. Thus, the "rigidifying" nucleator compounds provide nucleation sites for polypropylene crystal growth. After drawing the nucleated composition into fiber form (11), the fiber is exposed to sufficient heat to grow the crystalline network (26), thus holding the fiber in a desired position. The preferred "rigidifying" compounds include dibenzylidene sorbitol based compounds, as well as less preferred compounds, such as sodium benzoate, certain sodium and lithium phosphate salts (such as sodium 2,2'-methylene-bis-(4,6-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphate).

Abstract: A technique is described for differentiating LSPs that contribute to congestion at an OBS node by defining Shared Wavelength Groups ("SWGs") that dedicate a certain group of wavelengths to each LSP. In one embodiment, during establishment of an LSP, an upstream OBS node suggests an SWG to support bidirectional wavelength conversion for bidirectional LSPs. While suggesting the wavelengths for the SWG, the upstream OBS node calculates the effective bandwidth of each wavelength to select the less-occupied wavelengths for the SWG. The downstream OBS nodes allocate the SWG hop-by-hop during transmission of the generalized label upstream. In one embodiment, an LSP is flagged as contributing to congestion only if the SWG of the LSP overlaps with the SWG of a congested LSP. In an alternative embodiment, an LSP is flagged as contributing to congestion only if the overlap between the SWG of that LSP and the SWG of the congested LSP exceeds a predetermined threshold. <IMAGE>
