US Classification:

709229, 709205, 713151

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for configuring computing devices to join a peer group. A peer group may be created on a subnetwork by a computing device. When a new computing device enters the subnetwork, it may join the peer group and be given access to the shared resources on the peer group and associated computing devices, using a communications layer and an authorization layer. Allowing a new computing device to join a peer group includes inviting the new device to join and then challenging the device for a passkey of the peer group. After joining the peer group, the computing device will be able to access and share resources with the peer group and other computing devices associated with the peer group.

Abstract:

Method and computer storage media for sharing resources between a plurality of computing devices associated with a common non-enterprise network. A common set of credentials is stored on at least two or more of a plurality of computing devices that reside behind a routing device and are associated through a common non-enterprise network. Upon storing the common set of credentials, each of the two or more of a plurality of computing devices create a local account that contains, at least, the common set of credentials. The common set of credentials allow for the sharing, among the two or more of the plurality of computing devices, of resource that reside on or are associated with the computing devices.

Abstract:

System and methods including a set of mathematical manipulatives that are designed to demonstrate the properties of logarithms and exponents are provided. A system that facilitates instruction in the logarithms, the system includes a set of manipulatives including at least one manipulative, each manipulative having a length proportional to a logarithm of a number labeled on the manipulative, the set of manipulatives are positionable end to end; and a measurement tool having markings for measuring a plurality of multiples of at least one manipulative; wherein, when one or more manipulatives are positioned end to end, a product of the numbers labeled on the manipulatives positioned end to end equals the number on a manipulative that has the same length as a total length of manipulatives positioned end to end.
