A navigational aide in the form of a physical model that may be integrated with conventional expedition equipment. The preferred embodiment comprises a hiking staff (5, 6) containing 2-D map data (3) and or 3-D topographical representations (1, 2) corresponding with specific geographic regions and or features. The 3-D surfaces may be sculpted about and along the model. Alternately, cross-sectional elevation profiles of routes may be presented in the form of a 3-D sculpted grooves or flutes along, about, and or around the shaft. A variety of configurations are presented for the purpose of maximizing the effective sculptable areas or edges, and to provide a shrouding effect for the protruding peaks that would otherwise be vulnerable to deformation and uncomfortable to grip. The 3-D elevations may be exaggerated to visually accentuate changes in elevation. Features such as trails may be represented as grooves to facilitate marking progress and position. 2-D cartographic data (7,8,9) may also be presented along with the 3-D data or alone as a mounted map. In an alternate embodiment, the invention comprises a toy for children, inspiring learning imagination and adventurous play. Several methods and materials for both computerized and conventional design and manufacturing are provided. The novel aspects of this invention may be incorporated in the original equipment manufacture, modification of existing equipment, and accessories for attachment to conventional equipment.

Disclosed in this invention is a method for synchronization of applications across devices. The method comprises: a first client collects applications information installed on a first device and sends the applications information to a server; a second client collects device information of a second device and sends the device information to the server; the server sends the second client downloading addresses of the applications compatible with the second device according to the device information and the applications information received; and the second client downloads the applications according to the downloading addresses and installs the applications on the second device. A system for the synchronization of the applications across the devices is also provided in the invention. In the above manner, the synchronization of the applications across the various devices can be implemented conveniently and quickly with the method and the system for the synchronization of the applications across the devices of this invention, such that a user can quickly and effectively install the applications that are from the original device and compatible with the new device.

Described are a method and system for establishing a secure communication session with third-party access at a later time. A first communication subsession is established between two original devices using a first key generated by a two-party key and security association protocol. At least one of the original devices is established as a group key server. A request from a joining device to join the secure communication session is received and a second communication subsession is established between the original devices using a second key generated by the two-party key and security association protocol. The second key is provided to the joining device to enable participation in the second communication subsession.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method and system for facilitating supply chain processes in an outsourced manufacturing environment comprising an original equipment manufacturer, at least one contract manufacturer, and at least one supplier. The method includes placing a purchase order with the contract manufacturing entity via an outsourced supply chain tool; filtering out parts listed on the purchase order that are flagged for special execution; and placing a second purchase order for flagged parts with the supplier. The second purchase order contains instructions for providing the flagged parts to the contract manufacturer. The method also includes coordinating delivery and payment transactions for the flagged parts and for finished products; monitoring associated activities of the entities involved; and resolving associated issues. The system includes a manufacturing entity comprising: a server executing a plurality of applications including an outsourced supply chain tool for implementing supply chain execution processes; a terminal and data storage device both in communication with the server; network links to a manufacturing division, a plurality of trading partner systems, a customer focus team system, and a commodity team council system; and a decentralized file database for providing supply chain execution data specific to a contract manufacturer system.
