20110002332 | Method and Apparatus for a Software Programmable Intelligent Network - A reservation request is received for a data transport session. The reservation request contains a requested class of communication service through the asynchronous network. The state of the network along the route is then preferably determined and at least one end-to-end route through the network is obtained. The route is based on the requested class of communication service and the state of the network. The data transport session is then controlled, such that data is forced to travel along at least one route through the asynchronous network. This is preferably done by controlling multiple data controllers dispersed along the at least one route by mapping specific data protocols to specific routes, or mapping specific data protocols to specific ports in each data controller. If a state of the asynchronous network indicates that the route cannot transport data in conformity to the class of communication service, then the route is changed to a backup route through the network. | 01-06-2011 |

The cavity is inflated with a safe rubber nozzle attachable to any size hose. The cavity includes a predetermined transparent level mark arranged around two valves at one end of the cavity. The water volume and air pressure inside the cavity is adjusted by filling water through a valve while releasing ambient air simultaneously through a second valve until the water volume and air pressure reaches a predetermined transparent fill level mark. The arrangement of a strong flexible lightweight low density PVC cavity combined with a predetermined amount of water and air pressure provides a underwater play ball with both weightless and pneumatic characteristics under water. Such an arrangement, provides a underwater play ball that can naturally glide under the waters surface in a straight line when passed by a swimmer by its self and repeatedly rebound on impact to its original position by itself when passed or bounced for amusement and exercise. | 09-15-2011 |
