A system and method are provided for managing mobile user access to enterprise network resources from a wireless mobile device, such as a smart phone or mobile computer, with improved security and access control. Access rules determining accessible resources and associated permitted operations are determined based on membership of an authenticated user to each of one or more groups, each group being associated with a set of permitted accessible resources and operations. For each user, based on membership of a group, or a Boolean evaluation of memberships of two or more groups, a list of accessible resources and permitted operations is generated, and the list is made available for subsequent processes, e.g. presentation to the user on an interface of the mobile device. Access rules may also be defined dependent on other information received from the system, or from the mobile device, such as time or location. Requests for an operation such as read access or write access to a network resource, such as a file, lists, shared calendars et al., may thus be readily controlled by an IT manager for multiple users of an enterprise network. Since the application resides in an application layer between the mobile device and existing security infrastructure, mobile access may be set without overriding internal access policies.

A personal mobile device such as a music player or mobile telephone is equipped with the capability to easily authenticate users into a public gym and into individual exercise equipment at the gym.

Methods and systems are described for simplified creation of, connection to, and termination from an ad hoc wireless network. Graphical user interfaces are used to guide users though creation and joining ad hoc network. The option to share one user's Internet connection with the entire ad hoc network is also described. The ad hoc networks described can provide some managed services traditionally unavailable in ad hoc networks, such as IP address assignment and name resolution services. The ad hoc networks can be created with termination criteria, such that a computer's connection to the ad hoc network is automatically terminated and previous network configuration settings are restored when one or a combination of termination criteria are met.

A “virtual video studio”, as described herein, provides a highly portable real-time capability to automatically capture, record, and edit a plurality of video streams of a presentation, such as, for example, a speech, lecture, seminar, classroom instruction, talk-show, teleconference, etc., along with any accompanying exhibits, such as a corresponding slide presentation, using a suite of one or more unmanned cameras controlled by a set of videography rules. The resulting video output may then either be stored for later use, or broadcast in real-time to a remote audience. This real-time capability is achieved by using an abstraction of “virtual cameramen” and physical cameras in combination with a scriptable interface to the aforementioned videography rules for capturing and editing the recorded video to create a composite video of the presentation in real-time under the control of a “virtual director.”

A method and a device for simulating the realization of lighting effects in an environment are disclosed. The method may receive environment data, user input indicative of lighting effects, and data indicative of what installable devices exist. Based thereon, the method may generate at least one implementation option for each lighting effect and select one implementation option for each lighting effect. As a result, realization data based on the environment data and selected implementation options options can be generated. A simulator for simulating realization of lighting effects is adapted to communicate, on the one hand, with a user or other provider of environment and lighting effect data, and, on the other, with a source of information on installable hardware device. The simulator can be operable in a design mode, an implementation mode, a selection mode and a realization mode.

Cationic aqueous emulsions of rubber modified asphalt cement (RMAC) useable for paving, seal coat, slurry seal, roofing, coating and other applications. First, a RMAC is prepared by combining 45 to 90% by weight asphalt with about 5% to about 55% by weight solid recycled rubber (e.g., crumb rubber from used vehicle tires) under conditions that cause at least a substantial portion of the solid rubber to become liquified or otherwise incorporated into the asphalt. The RMAC may be treated with dodecyl benzenesulfonic acid (DDBSA) which causes reaction(s) to occur and results in a lowering of the viscosity of the RMAC. The RMAC (or DDBSA-treated RMAC) may then be emulsified in an aqueous medium to provide an aqueous emulsion.

A method of making a lightweight cementitious binder composition with improved compressive strength for products such as cementitious panels is disclosed. The method mixes fly ash, alkali metal salt of citric acid, alkali metal silicate, foaming agent for entraining air, water and in the preferred embodiment a foam stabilizing agent. Compositions which include fly ash selected from the group consisting of class C fly ash, class F fly ash and mixtures thereof, alkali metal salts of citric acid, alkali metal silicates, foaming agents, and preferably a foam stabilizer, such as polyvinyl alcohol, and do not require use of set retarders. Compositions containing class F fly ash can optionally contain Type III Portland cement.

A method and a communication station for determining a packet format of a data packet based on at least one compressed header information field. A header packet format of a data packet is determined based on the determined packet format of a partially or completely compressed header information part. The station may also determine a codec rate based on the result of a previously performed compression of at least one header information field. In one embodiment, internal cross-layer signaling from a header generator module to a payload generator module in the communication station is used for signaling information associated with determining the header packet format of the data packet. The method reduces bandwidth fluctuations associated with services such as text messaging audio, or audiovisual services; lowers the delay variations and the erasure rates for application media streams; and provides for faster set-up of sessions.

The present invention relates to a communication system comprising a number of end user stations (hosts) connected over access networks and routing arrangements. The system supports a IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) addressing scheme, wherein the end user stations are connected to the routing arrangements over links, and sending of router advertisements from router arrangements to end user stations (hosts) being implemented to support provisioning of IPv6 addresses for the end user station. Router advertisements (RAs) from a routing arrangement to an end user station are sent with a controllable and variable frequency during an initial phase. During said initial phase, the frequency is higher at the beginning and lower at the end.
