A client system utilizes a standard browser component and a transaction protocol gateway (TPG) component that operatively couples to the standard browser component. The browser component initiates the utilization of new session connections and reuse of existing session connections as a function of the coding of the universal resource locators (URLs) contained in each issued request. Each URL is passed to the TPG component that examines a context field included within the URL. If the context field has been set to a first value, the TPG component opens a new session connection to the server system and records the session connection information in a persistent session table (PST) component maintained by the TPG component. If the context field has been set to a second value, then the TPG component obtains the session connection information in the PST component for the established session connection and passes the data from the browser component to the server system over the existing persistent session connection.

An automotive vehicle defogging system prevents dissipation of energy required to defog the automotive vehicle wind shield. A surface temperature sensor mounted on the wind shield detects the glass surface temperature. A humidity sensor spaced from the wind shield glass by a predetermined distance detects the humidity around the wind shield. A peripheral temperature sensor mounted inside from the wind shield glass detects peripheral temperature around the glass. Dew point temperature is obtained in response to the detected humidity H and a temperature value based on the temperatures detected by the surface and peripheral temperature sensors. The presence of fog is detected by comparing the dew point temperature with the surface temperature Ts.

By forming a combination padlock from heavy duty metal throughout with an enlarged, heavy duty locking bar or shackle being employed having a tamper-proof holding cavity for the terminating, locking end of the locking bar, an effective, easily produced, high security padlock is achieved which employs a combination system for fully operating the padlock. In addition, the combination padlock of the present invention incorporates tumbler or clutch wheel constructions which cooperate with the rotating dials to virtually eliminate any possibility that an unauthorized person would be capable of gaining access to the padlock by known combination lock picking techniques by forming each tumbler or clutch wheel with a plurality of radially extending fins formed thereon, with each of the fins being arcuately spaced from the adjacent fin in a non-symmetrical pattern. Furthermore, the padlock of the present invention incorporates a unique combination setting and re-setting assembly which employs a slider shaft incorporating a radially extending post, which must pass through a key-hold slot formed in the body or housing of the padlock for activating the combination setting or re-setting mode, and cooperates with a set screw member threadedly engaged with the housing or body of the padlock which controls the axial movement of the shaft.

A mobile or cellular telecommunications network includes a plurality of terminals which are registered. The terminal may be fixed in position, such as a terminal in a vending machine. Alternatively, the terminal may be fixed to a vehicle used for sending an SOS message when the vehicle is involved in an accident. The terminal may be immobile, and therefore does not need to continually advise the network of its location. The terminal may not receive incoming calls or other communications. The terminals therefore may not require paging by the network. In the embodiments described, such terminals are assigned a special terminal type identifier which indicates to the network that these terminals do not require paging. The way in which the network interacts with the terminals is adjusted so that signaling to perform location updates is eliminated or at least reduced.

An autostereoscopic display device comprising a view forming module in registration with an image forming means. The image forming means has an orthogonal array of display pixels spatially defined by an opaque matrix. The view forming module provides at least two optical functions, namely a view forming function and a brightness non-uniformity reducing function. The view forming function modifies the direction of outputs of the display pixels such that the outputs of groups of the display pixels are projected in respective different directions as a plurality of views. The view forming function is provided by an array of parallel lenticular lenses arranged across the view forming module and having a first pitch. The brightness non-uniformity reducing function spreads the outputs of the display pixels such that brightness non-uniformities caused by imaging of the opaque matrix are reduced. The brightness non-uniformity reducing function defines a second pitch across the view forming module less than the first pitch, and further defines an effective spreading angle in a plane perpendicular to axes of the view forming elements substantially equal to or less than the angle between adjacent views projected by the view forming function. The brightness non-uniformity reducing function is provided by an array of lenses or a diffuser. In the case of an array of lenses, these lenses may be integrated with the lenticular lenses providing the view forming function in the form of lenses having a polygonal cross section.

A system for creating a secure wireless channel between a laptop computer and a video projector. The system allows a person, or presenter, to send presentation information wirelessly without having to worry about unwanted eavesdroppers receiving the presentation information. Prior to the presentation, the projector generates a random number and projects the number on a screen. The presenter types the random number into his computer and an encryption program within the computer uses the random number to create a temporary session key. Advantageously, the random number is never transmitted wirelessly. The session key is then used to encrypt the presentation information before the information is wirelessly transmitted to the projector. The projector receives the information and uses the same random number to decrypt the presentation information. After decryption, the presentation information is projected on a screen for presentation to the audience.

A media proxy receive a first message from a near end of a path of a communications session, and before receiving a corresponding message from a far end, the media proxy is arranged to detect a blocking situation where another device in the path is awaiting the first message before forwarding the corresponding message. Detecting such a blocking situation enables it to be overcome, and enables the communication session to proceed. The media proxy can send a probe message to discover if there is another media proxy along the path causing the blocking. This is useful where the only information about the far end is the media path which is in the call set up, e.g. IP address and port. Sending the probe message can be under the control of a call server.
