Title: Methods and apparatus for identifying chronic performance problems on data networks
Inventor: LAVER KENT
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2006-02-03
Abstract: A system for identifying chronic performance problems on data networks includes network monitoring devices that provide measurements of performance metrics such as latency, fitter, and throughput, and a processing system for analyzing measurement data to identify the onset of chronic performance problems. Network behavior is analyzed to develop a baseline performance level (e.g., computing a mean and variance of a baseline sample of performance metric measurements). An operating performance level is measured during operation of the network (e.g., computing a mean and variance of an operating sample of performance metric measurements). A chronic performance problem is identified if the operating performance level exceeds a performance threshold and a difference between the baseline performance level and the operating performance level is determined to be statistically significant. A t-test based on the baseline mean and variance and the operating mean and variance can be used to determine if this difference is significant.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a fully distributed, scaleable and modular rack architecture and management system. One feature of the invention provides device management throughout the rack system with a vertical interface column integrated into the rack cabinet. Within each rack unit (U) of the vertical interface column, the vertical interface column may deliver connectivity to a device housed within the rack cabinet thereby eliminating runs of cable typically necessary for management of such devices. The vertical interface column can be expanded as necessary to provide connectivity to more devices using hot-swappable interface modules. A rack management system allows both local and remote management access to all devices mounted in the rack cabinet and coupled to the vertical interface column. The rack management system may also access to devices mounted in other rack cabinets.

Abstract: A solution is provided that allows prompt notification of new e-mail arrival while minimizing the unnecessary loading of mail server and network resources.  It provides a short time delay after arrival of new e-mail when the user needs it most, and minimizes the unnecessary loading of resources when the user does not require immediate notification. This is accomplished by establishing a session with the mail server once a predefined event, such as the sending of a new e-mail, has occurred. This session may invoke server-initiated-notification of new-email for a limited period of time.

Title: A method and equipment for positioning when replacing anodes in an electrolysis cell
Inventor: FIDJELAND ARNT HELGE
IPC: C25C3/12
Filed: 2004-11-15
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and equipment for replacing anodes in an electrolysis cell in which a crane with an anode gripper is used to lift out used anodes and to insert new anodes. The new anode is inserted at a height in accordance with a calculated height based on the height of the anode removed, the height of the anode removed and the height of the new anode being measured against a common reference level. Laser-based measuring equipment is arranged between a point on the crane, which is stationary in terms of height during the operation, and a point on the anode gripper, which moves together with the anode, and measures the heights stated. The measured values are processed by a PLC-based system, which determines a more precise insertion height of the new anode in accordance with a specific algorithm.

Abstract: Thanks to the popularity of public wireless networks, it is possible for users to access the World Wide Web via many different mobile devices such as notebooks, PDAs, and Smartphones. However, because of the heterogeneity of the various portable devices, the experience of accessing the Internet through them is much different than through a desktop computer. Web pages must be rendered differently on client devices, taking into account their physical and performance constraints such as screen size, memory size, and connection bandwidth. In order to achieve efficient content delivery and user satisfaction, the FAÇADE  framework was developed as a context-aware adaptation tool for single-source web pages. However, due to the initial steep learning curve to successfully create single-source web pages, a web page authoring tool is needed to automatically generate the XHTML code. A tool for providing an author with a WYSIWYG  graphical user interface and the ability to create single-source authored context-adaptable web pages for multiple end user devices simultaneously is disclosed.
