A bendable display apparatus includes two supporting devices, a carrying plate, and a soft display mounted on the carrying plate. Each supporting device includes a hinge module and two buffering modules respectively installed on two opposite sides of the hinge module. Each buffering module includes an external linking member fixed on the hinge module, an internal linking member fixed on the carrying plate and being movable with respect to the external linking member, and a gear driven by the hinge module to move the internal linking member. Each hinge module is bendable between an unfolded position and an inwardly folded position. When the hinge module is bent from the unfolded position toward the inwardly folded position, the gear is driven by the hinge module to move the corresponding internal linking member away from the pivots.

A supporting device includes a hinge module and two buffering modules respectively installed on two opposite sides of the hinge module. Each buffering module includes an internal linking member fixed on the hinge module, an external linking member slidably disposed on the internal linking member, and an elastic member connected to the internal linking member and the external linking member. The hinge module is bendable between an unfolded position and an outwardly folded position. When the hinge module is at the unfolded position, the supporting device is a flat construction, and the elastic members are configured to block the external linking members to move away from the pivots. When the hinge module is at the outwardly folded position, the supporting device is a curved construction and the internal linking members are arranged at the inner side of the curved construction.

A route computation algorithm, a load-balancing scheme inside a router for making a hop-by-hop routing network (such as the Internet) nonblocking are described in this patent. The output of the route computation algorithm includes a set of link weights that determine the paths of the hop-by-hop routing network. The route computation algorithm and the load-balancing scheme also determine the ingress and egress traffic constraints at each edge router such that as long as the traffic entering and leaving the network does not exceed the constraints, none of the internal links will ever have traversing traffic more than its link capacity. The network is thus non-blocking internally. This greatly simplifies flow admission control and allows hard QoS to be supported inside the network.

A rearrangeably nonblocking multicast network in accordance with the invention includes an input stage having r1 switches and n1 inlet links for each of r1 switches, an output stage having r2 switches and n2 outlet links for each of r2 switches. The network also has a middle stage of m switches, and each middle switch has at least one link connected to each input switch for a total of at least r1 first internal links and at least one link connected to each output switch for a total of at least r2 second internal links, where m≧n1+n2. The network has all multicast connections set up such that each multicast connection passes through at most two middle switches to be connected to the destination outlet links. When the number of inlet links in each input switch n1 is equal to the number of outlet links in each output switch n2, and n1=n2=n, a three-stage network is operated in rearrangeably nonblocking manner in accordance with the invention, where m≧2*n. Also in accordance with the invention, a three-stage network having m>n1+n2 is operated in rearrangeably nonblocking manner even if some multicast connections are set up using more than two middle switches as long as each connection has available links into at least two middle switches.

A Link device has a processor connected to an internal Link bus, a non-transitory memory, a digital device ID, one or both of firmware or software executing from non-transitory media, a first communication port enabled to communicate with a vehicle bus coupling computerized devices in a vehicle, and a second communication port enabled to communicate with one or more digital devices external to the vehicle. The firmware or software enables the Link device to communicate with the vehicle bus, and to accomplish a variety of tasks including pulling data from data stores in the vehicle and operating specific vehicle functions, and wherein the firmware or software manages communication with the one or more external digital devices, accepting only requests for cooperation with the Link device using the unique device ID with a request that is cryptographically secure.

The present invention discloses a method for identifying node reachability, a method for identifying a link, a method for calculating a routing, and a method for disseminating node address information. In the method of the node address information dissemination, when the network is initiated, each node in the automatically switched optical network performs a node address aggregation process and an aggregation address dissemination process, and obtains and stores the aggregation address respectively. Therefore, any node in the network may judge whether the node and another node in the network are reachable to each other, and may further calculate the routing between the source and destination nodes pair. Moreover, the present invention also may determine whether any traffic engineering link in the multi-level ASON network is an external link or an internal link.
