The bypass network is designed to provide fast access and high quality streaming media services anywhere anytime. There are five major components including Peering Gateway, Content Locator, Edge Server, Gateway and Client. The whole bypass network is divided into number of self-managed sub-networks, which are referred as local networks in this document. Each local network contains Edge Servers, gateways, and a Content Locator. The Edge Servers serve as cache storage and streaming servers for the local network. The gateways provide a connection point for the client computers. Each local network is managed by a Content Locator. The Content Locator handles all client requests by communicating with the Peering Gateway and actual web sites, and makes the content available on local Edge Servers. The Content Locator also balances the load on each Edge Server by monitoring the workload on them. One embodiment is designed for home users whose home machine does not move around frequently. A second embodiment is designed for business users who travel around very often where the laptops would self-configure as a client of the network.

An Internet directory system and method that is based on user telephone number addressing. The system includes an interactive white and yellow pages directory that is based on telephone numbers. Thus, a user's telephone number is a unique identifier used to key other information within the directory. The telephone number may also be used as the primary component of an email address, domain name, or web site URL for the user. The use of a telephone number as the primary component of an e-mail address or domain name greatly simplifies the process of locating a user. E-mail addresses and domain names may be readily found using standard telephone information services, such as "411", as well as other telephone-based methods for obtaining telephone directory information. This Internet directory system and method brings all communication methods and directory services together using one searchable key, a user's telephone number. The directory entry page may be created, edited and updated by the subscriber using simple html editing or using a voice telephone call or via fax, without the use of a personal computer. Thus, the present invention provides an open directory model wherein the end users construct the directory, and the directory is "living", i.e., dynamically changeable and updateable. The power of the directory is thus placed in the users' hands. The telephone based Internet directory system of the present invention also provides addressing for unified messaging as well as locality in addressing.

The process state of a chamber after a maintenance procedure can be monitored in-situ in order to ensure that the chamber is ready for processing, while minimizing waste and downtime due to aftereffects of the maintenance procedure. The composition of a bulk plasma in a process chamber can be analyzed using an analytical tool to capture the emission spectrum of the plasma. The spectrum can be analyzed to generate a model of the current chamber conditions, which can be compared to a model of ideal chamber conditions using a statistical analysis approach such as multivariate primary component analysis. If the current and ideal models match to within a set confidence level, the chamber conditions are acceptable for processing devices, and any processing of cycling workpieces or other plasma-cleansing processes can be stopped.

At least one of transmissions and receptions over allocated radio resources within a first timing advance group are synchronized using a first timer; and similar for allocated radio resources within a second timing advance group that are synchronized using a second timer. In response to determining that the first timer remains synchronized while the second timer is not synchronized with a radio network which has allocated the respective radio resources, a first procedure is followed for the case in which there is a primary component carrier within the second timing advance group and a different second procedure for the case in which there is no primary component carrier within the second timing advance group. In an exemplary embodiment, a message is sent to the radio network indicating that the second timer has expired. Various distinctions between the two procedures, and how the message is sent, are detailed for different embodiments.

Security is established and maintained through an innovative use of data encryption and authentication procedures. The use of these procedures allows the appliances to be uniquely identified to one another, which in turn provides a way to dynamically create unique identifiers for the security modules. These various components together form an infrastructure over the enterprise network to securely manage the end-user platforms.

A network prevents unauthorized users from gaining access to confidential information. The network has various workstations and servers connected by a common medium and through a router to the Internet. The network has two major components, a Network Security Center (NSC) and security network interface cards or devices. The NSC is an administrative workstation through which the network security officer manages the network as a whole as well as the individual security devices. The security devices are interposed between each of workstation, including the NSC, and the common medium and operate at a network layer (layer 3) of the protocol hierarchy. The network allows trusted users to access outside information, including the Internet, while stopping outside attackers at their point of entry. At the same time, the network limits an unauthorized insider to information defined in their particular security profile. The user may select which virtual network to access at any given time. The result is trusted access to multiple secure Virtual Private Networks (VPN), all from a single desktop machine.

Gamut-mapping from a source device to a destination device is performed in a perceptually linear color space such as CIECAM02 by separating a source image into primary color components and processing each primary component separately by mapping a source primary hue leaf with a destination primary hue leaf. The mapped primary components are then summed and a resultant destination image is obtained. Alternatively, hue rotation is performed by determining a relative position of an input color between the nearest primary and the nearest secondary color in a source hue wheel. The determined relative position in the source hue wheel is used to find a corresponding location in a destination hue wheel so that the hue angle for obtaining the destination hue leaf can be determined. In both processes, the source and destination hue leafs are mapped using a cusp-to-cusp mapping with a shear mapping process being used to pull in the remaining colors. Finally, results of the mapping process are converted from device-independent color appearance space values to tristimulus values, and from tristimulus values to a color space of the destination device.

The predictive asset ranking system and process quantifies the condition of major components and sub-components of a property based on a systematic comparison of one major component against another utilizing analytical hierarchy analysis. The predictive asset ranking may be expressed as a value or score that may be used as a benchmark to compare one property to another property. The predictive asset ranking process applies multiple analytical hierarchies to the various attributes of a property. The analytical hierarchy may be based on an attribute weighing process and may include a series of qualitative questions indicative of attributes of the property. The predictive asset ranking system may be dynamic and may be customized for the particular asset being evaluated. When the system is customized, the process may automatically recalculate the weights and redistribute the points used in the predictive asset ranking analysis.
