International Classification:

H04Q 724

US Classification:

370338, 370349, 370466, 709239, 709242

Abstract:

Described is an internetworking system having various mobile ad hoc extensions to the Internet that are particularly suited to the dynamic environment of mobile ad hoc networks. The internetworking system includes any combination of a link-state routing protocol for disseminating topology and link-state information over a multi-hop network comprised of nodes, a neighbor discovery protocol that can detect the appearance and disappearance of new neighbor nodes, an address format that facilitates deployment of IPv6 nodes in a predominantly IPv4 network infrastructure, a queuing mechanism that can update information upon resuming interrupted communications between nodes, and dynamic network measurement techniques for adaptively using wireless bandwidth when establishing and maintaining connections between nodes and a server.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709217

Abstract:

Distribution of data captured from a location by a sensor network based on selected distribution settings is disclosed. Data describing usage of one or more items at a location is received from a sensor network associated with the location. A sensor data distribution setting identifying a subset of the data from the sensor network and identifying a server associated with the subset is received. Responsive to the sensor data distribution setting, the subset of data is transmitted to the server associated with the subset without transmitting data from the sensor network data not included in the subset.

International Classification:

G09G 508

US Classification:

345157

Abstract:

A user-configurable computer and pointing device combination and method are disclosed. The user establishes a relationship between a direction of rotation of the ball and direction of movement of the cursor on the screen. This relationship is stored by the computer to maintain a consistency between the direction of rotation of the ball and the direction of movement of the cursor on the screen. Accordingly, the user is able to establish the relationship between the screen coordinate system and his hand coordinate system. Advantageously, a left-handed user may establish a coordinate system based on left-handed use while a right-handed user may re-establish the coordinate system based on right-handed use.

International Classification:

G06F 3/06

Abstract:

This application relates to load balancing for a number of partitions of a network-based storage service. Each partition includes a number of server devices and/or network devices located in a data center and configured to provide access to storage resources hosted within the data center. User accounts are assigned to a particular partition such that requests related to a particular user account are routed to that partition. Periodically, a load balancing algorithm is executed to re-assign user accounts to different partitions to rebalance resource consumption across the different partitions. The load balancing algorithm can balance resource consumption for any number of resource types by generating a vector of resource utilization parameters for each user account, sorting the plurality of user accounts into clusters based on the vectors, and mapping at least some user accounts to different partitions.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28
H04W 4/12
H04L 29/06
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

Messages from wireless devices are intercepted by a controller, such as an access point for a wireless network, a security system controller, a home automation controller, an industrial or business automation controller, or a combination thereof. The controller logs device-identifying information about the devices that sent the messages that that were intercepted. Examples of the device-identifying information include a MAC address, a device name, a brand of the device, an SSID of an AP connected to the device, or a class of device. The intercepted message is used to trigger one or more events, either based solely on intercepting the message or in combination with other parameters.
