Abstract: A front end of an IPv6 communication network includes a network entry point device (114) and a plurality of tunnel servers (118) which facilitate the communication of user information between a host computer (108) of an IPv4 communication network (110) and an IPv6 wireless communication device (130). The network entry point device is configured to direct a tunnel request from the host computer to a selected tunnel server, which establishes a tunnel connection with the host computer. For the tunnel connection, the data packets can be encapsulated based on SSH, PPTP, L2TP, IPSec or PP standards. The tunnel server facilitates the communication of user information between the host and the wireless device through the tunnel connection. The tunnel server also performs a dynamic routing protocol (DRP). In accordance with the DRP, the tunnel server updates a local routing table to reflect the newly established tunnel connection and broadcasts updated routing table information to the other tunnel servers and at least one router (126). In another technical aspect, a back end of the IPv6 wireless device facilitates communication with the IPv6 wireless device when it operates in an IPv4 wireless communication network. This can be achieved by a router (126) encapsulating packets to the temporary IPv6 - address assigned to a wireless device (130) using a temporary IPv4 - address.

Abstract: A center side transmits a downstream signal by using a
specified carrier preset by a communication standard, when a
handshake sequence is initiated, and retransmits a downstream
signal by using an alternate carrier shifted toward a higher
frequency instead of a specified carrier in the proximity of
carriers used for the upstream, when a line connection with
an opposing ADSL modem apparatus fails during the signal
transmission using the specified carrier. Further, a remote
side detects a signal of a specified carrier preset by a
communication standard from downstream, when a handshake
sequence is initiated, and detects an alternate carrier
signal in accordance with a carrier change made by the
transmitter side, when the signal of the specified carrier
fails to be received within a predetermined time since the
initiation of the handshake sequence.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for ultrasonically imaging tiny blood vessels with the aid of a contrast agent. The locations of microbubbles of the contrast agent are detected in a series of images as the microbubbles move through the blood vessels. These images are temporally processed to identify the moving microbubbles, and persistence processed to depict images which show the tracks followed by the microbubbles through the blood vessels. A maximum intensity persistence can be used to show the steady buildup of microbubble tracks through the vasculature, or a slow decay employed so that the tracks will fade to black over time.
