Abstract: A method and system for commanding and controlling diverse home devices. A first home device capable of displaying user interface data is connected to a home network. A second home device stores user interface data that defines a user interface for commanding and controlling the second home device, also connected to the home network. The first device receives the user interface data from the second device over the network. The first device then displays the user interface as defined by the data. The user interacts with the user interface displayed on the first device by a control device. User input is accepted from the user responsive to the interaction. Control and command information is sent from the first home device to the second home device in order to control the second device according to the user input. Since the user interface can be displayed from any device, a single control device may control a plurality of different devices without requiring any change in the mode of operation of the control device.

Granted: 2009-12-22
Abstract: The present invention provides a simple design for a temperature-insensitive extrinsic polarimetric strain sensor. The sensing element is a thin sheet of photoelastic material that is bonded to the test object. It is illuminated with linearly polarized light with the polarization direction at 45 degrees relative to the strain-induced fast and slow axes in the photoelastic material. The sensor measures the difference between the strains along these two orthogonal directions. The reduced sensitivity of the sensor to temperature results from the fact that the illumination is perpendicular to the surface of the test object. All polarization components that are parallel to the surface will experience identical refractive index changes due to thermal effects. Consequently, a measurement of the difference in strains along two directions in the surface plane is insensitive to temperature.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-01-24
Granted: 2005-09-13
Abstract: A system, method and node for supporting multiple IP sessions with dynamically allocated home IP addresses in a CDMA2000 network. When the Home Agent (HA) receives a registration request from a Mobile Node (MN), it verifies if there are any mobility bindings for the MN. If yes, the HA verifies if the MN's care-of address equals one it already stores. If not, the HA verifies if the home IP address in the request is zero, and if no refreshes the mobility binding. However, if the IP address is zero, the HA verifies if the MN has reached its session number limit, and if so, the HA keeps only the first session and removes the others, but if no, the HA creates a new mobile IP session. The proper home IP address is the returned to the MN.
