Security systems typically communicate with alarm monitoring centers using a telephone connection. Security systems will check in with the alarm monitoring center with a diagnostic signal at a predetermined interval—typically once per day. When a security system is connected to a Voice-over-IP service (using Broadband Internet), rather than a standard telephone line, the opportunity exists to poll in real-time the status of the connection, and alert the owner (or alert the alarm monitoring center) that the customer's connection has been broken. The present invention offers a system and technique for monitoring a security system connected using a Voice-over-IP connection, in real time, and alerting the owner of the security system, or the alarm-monitoring center, when the connection is broken. This alert can be used, for example, to issue a telephone call to the police, informing them of the breach of line integrity and possible compromise of the premise.

An mat system with each mat having sloping lips which overlap with an adjacent mat's sloping lips and are secured by interlocking joints in the mats' lips and / or by captive locking pins to form an easily assembled and interconnected flat surface. In use, opposing ledges forms a slot within holes in the top overlapping lips to receive a captive locking pin. The pin is captive by mid body prongs which fix underneath the ledges in a mat's upper lip's holes, and the pin locks and unlocks with rotary turning of the pin resulting in the pin's keeper feet fixing underneath the similar ledges in the holes of the lower lip of an adjacent mat.

A Voice over IP (VoIP) module is used to connect an alarm system to a monitoring station over the Internet. A built-in wireless or Ethernet over A / C power component is described, such that the Voice-over-IP equipment can be placed at a distance from a router, without the need to run an Ethernet cable from the VoIP equipment to the router. This arrangement is useful, as in many cases, the customer's security system is hidden within a closet, or else placed within the home or business at a significant distance from their Internet connection and router. The present invention accomplishes this by adding a built-in WiFi (wireless) radio, or a built-in Ethernet over Power circuit, into the Voice-over-IP equipment installed in the home or business.

The invention discloses an optimal network efficiency delay-constrained routing method for a low-orbit information network. A source node generates RDP data packets, and sends the RDP data packets; an intermediate node searches all links satisfying the delay-constrained optimal network efficiency by adopting a delay-constrained optimal network efficiency routing algorithm, calculates the routing metric on the links, updates the RDP data packets, and sends all the links satisfying the delay-constrained optimal network efficiency to neighbour nodes; a destination node selects the RDP data packet having the maximum routing metric attribute, generates an RRP data packet, and returns the RRP data packet along an effective path pf, wherein path node information in the RDP data packet forms the effective path pf; and, after receiving the RRP data packet, the source node sends service data along the effective path pf. By means of the method disclosed by the invention, a transmission path for maximization of delay-constrained network efficiency expectation is established; therefore, in the dynamic environment of a low-orbit satellite network, the transmission service flow delay-constrained probability can be continuously satisfied by the selected path; and thus, the overall benefit of the network born real-time aggregation service flow is increased.

Green Roof Blocks is a completely unique approach to covering the surface of roof tops with vegetation. The strategy of using self contained, durable 22 gauge galvalume sheet metal material containers, which can be easily installed and moved, differs from anything currently available in the market place. Much heavier plastic or polypropylene containers are currently on the market with limited success. My product requires no machinery to lift, nor any particular training to install. The use of rubber composite walk pad material as resting pads assures roofing system compatibility and warranty integrity. Thus no additional materials are required to separate the container from the roofing system. In fact, the walk pad material can be procured from different roofing system manufacturers allowing the roofing system manufacturer to provide a material acceptable to come in contact with the roofing material. This ease of use, choice of material and configuration, and system compatibility is unique to my invention.
