A method and apparatus for providing wireless data packet call regulation and call access for wireless Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications in a wireless network. A first and second time stamp is generated upon the reception and successful transmission of a data packet. A packet delay is determined based upon the first and second time stamps. At least one average delay metric is used to determine whether to provide new call access based on the at least one average delay metric. Another aspect of the present invention is to block a class of users based, in part, on the average sector delay for each user subscriber class. If the average sector delay is greater than that allowed for a class of users, users of that class are denied access. A delay quality of service (QoS) block metric is used to determine if an individual user should be force dropped.

An infant co-sleeper has a central cloth bedding portion defining a generally rectilinear area for receiving an infant and two pockets on opposite sides of the generally rectilinear area for receiving removable padding to form barriers on either side of the generally rectilinear area for confining an infant there between. First and second removable padding member are received in the pockets of the central cloth bedding portion to maintain an infant on the central cloth bedding portion. The generally rectilinear area of the co-sleeper can itself define a pocket for receiving backing materials such as absorbent or reinforcing pads. A process of breast feeding the confined infant from the co-sleeper is disclosed where the head of an infant in the co-sleeper is placed adjacent the breast of a nursing human and the padding partially withdrawn to provide infant access to the nursing breast while still confining the infant to the co-sleeper.

Described is a mechanism for mobile devices that allows a user to set a time at which the mobile device will automatically power down, and another time at which the mobile device will wake up. The mechanism further allows the mobile device to be awakened earlier than the wake up time if an event is scheduled to occur prior to the wake up time. Furthermore, the mechanism provides for the cancellation of the automatic power down or wake up, based on user input.

The present invention is directed to methods, compositions and articles comprising olfactory-active compositions. An article of the present invention comprises a structural component and an olfactory-active composition. The article may control the release, release rate or absorption of the olfactory-active composition. The article may be of various shapes and sizes. A method of use of an article comprises providing fragrance to an environment.

The present invention relates generally to the field of hemodialysis, including methods and kits that can be employed to improve hemodialysis therapy. The present invention encompasses methods and kits useful for reducing vascular access complications associated with hemodialysis therapy and prolonging the period of time for which a vascular access site can be used in a patient.

A remote controlled work robot including a remote controlled actuator and a support device therefor. The remote controlled actuator includes a spindle guide section of an elongated configuration, a distal end member fitted to a distal end of the spindle guide section through a distal end member coupling structure for alteration in attitude, and a drive unit housing connected with a base end of the spindle guide section. The distal end member rotatably supports a spindle for holding a tool. The support device includes a single degree-of-freedom system, in which the remote controlled actuator has a degree of freedom in one direction, or a multi-degrees-of-freedom system, in which the remote controlled actuator has a two or more degrees of freedom relative to a base on which the support device is installed. A drive source and is also provided for driving the degree-of-freedom system.
