Moreover, if the answer to the original problem is in integer format, so will the answers to the spawned problems. A customizable UI is designed to allow further customization of problem conditions to generate an accurate set of problems based on the initial input. Problem generator templates can be created, shared and modified for distribution and/or future use. Additionally, problem generation APIs can be extended for external code to automate and consume generated math problems.01-15-2009

20110219431SYSTEM AND METHOD OF QUALITY OF SERVICE ENABLEMENT FOR OVER THE TOP APPLICATIONS IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - A system, method, and node providing a predefined Quality of Service (QoS) level to an Over The Top (OTT) service provider in a telecommunications network. A User Equipment (UE) initiates an IP-based application session (e.g., Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) session) with the OTT service provider by sending an application-dependent message toward an OTT application server. The method begins with a proxy node in the telecommunications network intercepting the application-dependent message. The proxy node then modifies the application-dependent message by adding a subscriber identification to the header of the application-dependent message. The proxy node forwards the modified application-dependent message to the OTT application server. The OTT application server then sends a request having the subscriber identification to the telecommunications network with a QoS requirement for the HTTP session. Next, a network policy node determines an appropriate QoS level for the subscriber. A network gateway then enforces the determined QoS level for the HTTP session with the OTT service provider.09-08-2011

20100107959DELIVERY SYSTEMS FOR PRESSURE PROTECTING AND DELIVERING A SUBMERGED PAYLOAD AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME - A payload delivery unit for protecting and delivering a payload submerged in a submersion medium comprises a container including a pressure resistant shell and a resilient seal device. The shell defines a containment chamber and includes first and second shell members having opposed first and second sealing faces, respectively. The seal device engages and is interposed between the first and second sealing faces. The container is configured and constructed such that: when the submersion medium applies an exterior pressure to the first and second shell members such that a shell pressure differential, defined as the exterior pressure less an interior pressure of the containment chamber, exceeds a prescribed pressure, the first and second shell members compressively load and deform the seal device to effect a seal between the first and second shell members that prevents ingress of the submersion medium into the containment chamber; and when the shell pressure differential is less than the prescribed pressure, the seal device elastically rebounds to separate the first and second shell members to permit ingress of the submersion medium into the containment chamber.05-06-2010
