20150128971 | VAPORIZER - An electronic cigarette or vaporizer may include a shell and a cartomizer receivable within a chamber within a portion of the shell. The cartomizer may hold a vaporizable fluid, dry substance, or other vaporizable substance such as a wax. A charger may also be included which in one embodiment may be insertable into the chamber, and in another embodiment may be connectable to an end of the shell. Various electrical components, such as a printed circuit board, a rechargeable battery, various indicator lights, a sensor, and display screen, for instance, improve the functionality of the vaporizer from known vaporizers. Magnets are also provided in order to secure the cartomizer or the charger to the shell. | 05-14-2015 |
20150128972 | VAPORIZER, CHARGER AND METHODS OF USE - Vaporizer and/or electronic cigarette chargers useful for the recharging of rechargeable vaporizer or electronic cigarette power supplies such as batteries, compatible vaporizers and/or electronic cigarettes, their components, charging contacts, methods of their use and kits containing such chargers are disclosed. | 05-14-2015 |
20150128976 | VAPORIZER - An electronic cigarette or vaporizer may include a shell and a cartomizer receivable within a chamber within a portion of the shell. The cartomizer may hold a vaporizable fluid, dry substance, or other vaporizable substance such as a wax. A charger may also be included which in one embodiment may be insertable into the chamber, and in another embodiment may be connectable to an end of the shell. Various electrical components, such as a printed circuit board, a recharagable battery, various indicator lights, a sensor, and display screen, for instance, improve the functionality of the vaporizer from known vaporizers.

20080207206 | MEDIA INDEPENDENT PRE-AUTHENTICATION SUPPORTING FAST-HANDOFF IN PROXY MIPv6 ENVIRONMENT - This document describes a proactive mechanism to provide fast-handover involving PMIPv6. In particular, it describes how one can achieve fast handoff for PMIPv6 using Media-independent Pre-Authentication (MPA) technique. It discusses the need for a fast-handoff for PMIPv6 environment. It then describes how MPA techniques could be used during different steps involving both intra-domain and inter-domain handoff for PMIPv6. MPA-based fast-handover takes advantage of the pre-authentication mechanism so that the mobile can perform the access authentication while in the previous local mobility (PMA) domain and thus would be able to complete many of the handoff related operations while still in the previous network. | 08-28-2008 |
20080275643 | OPTIMUM ROUTE PLANNING FOR SERVICE VEHICLES - Transportation costs are minimized with a novel system for optimizing a route for a service vehicle, for example, a package delivery van. Based upon static and dynamic information, a computer on board the service vehicle determines an optimum route for the vehicle to travel between multiple locations. The computer on board the service vehicle communicates wirelessly to receive any pertinent dynamic information which has changed (e.g., traffic congestion, the presence of a customer at a deliver location, or a modification of location). The computer then recalculates the optimum route for the vehicle and guides the driver of the vehicle in accordance with the newly determined optimum route. The on board computer continues to check for any updates, and recalculates the optimum route throughout the day. Thus, the optimum route may be selected based upon the latest available information white avoiding heavy signal traffic on the wireless network. | 11-06-2008 |
20090016286 | ARCHITECTURE FOR MULTIPLE MIH USERS - Currently, the I.E.E.E. 802.21 specification allows multiple MIH (Media-Independent Handover) Users in a single MIH Function. However, the specification is not clear about how multiple MIH Users are supported by a single MIHF (MIH Function) under a constraint in which if there is only one MIH User is allowed to change the state of a particular link during a particular period of time. This document proposes a detailed architecture which allows for the co-existence of multiple MIH Users by introducing a link ownership scheme in the MIHF (MIH Function). The proposed link ownership scheme also supports the scenario in which the state of a link of a mobile node is changed by a network node by modifying the MIH_Register primitives in the I.E.E.E. 802.21 specification to signal the set of allocated links to a remote MIH User on the network node. The modification of MIH_Register primitive also has the added benefit of allowing the network node to subscribe to events on a specific set of links present in the mobile node as opposed to not knowing any of the links at all. | 01-15-2009 |
20100208613 | EFFICIENT AND LOSS TOLERANT METHOD AND MECHANISM FOR MEASURING AVAILABLE BANDWIDTH - A single burst method is used to determine the available bandwidth in a network environment. A sending node transmits test packets to a receiving node. The size of the test packets is dynamically determining based on network parameters within the network environment. The sending node then receives test receipt packets that have the same sequence numbers as the corresponding test packets. Packet clusters are formed from the test receipt packets. The available bandwidth is determined based on the packet clusters along with values set by the single burst method or inputted by a user. | 08-19-2010 |
20120096520 | Key Cashing, QoS and Multicast Extensions to Media-Independent Pre-Authentication - This present application relates to, among other things, Key Caching, QoS and Multicast extensions and improvements to the Media-independent Pre-Authentication (MPA) framework, a new handover optimization mechanism that has a potential to address issues on existing mobility management protocols and mobility optimization mechanisms. MPA is a mobile assisted, secure handover optimization scheme that works over any link-layer and with any mobility management protocol. | 04-19-2012 |
