Network management support for OAM functionality and method therefore

A method and apparatus for network management support of OAM functionality in a communication network is presented. The network manager receives OAM configuration information for a segment that includes a plurality of path points. For each path point of the plurality of path points, the network manager determines, based on the configuration of the network, if the path point is to serve as an OAM source or sink for the desired OAM functional path. Based on this determination, the network manager generates OAM configuration commands for the selected path points that are to serve as OAM sources and sinks. These OAM configuration commands are then provided to the corresponding path points such that the appropriate OAM sources and sinks are established.

Method and system for media audience measurement and spatial extrapolation based on site, display, crowd, and viewership characterization

The present invention provides a comprehensive method to design an automatic media viewership measurement system, from the problem of sensor placement for an effective sampling of the viewership to the method of extrapolating spatially sampled viewership data. The system elements that affect the viewership—site, display, crowd, and audience—are identified first. The site-viewership analysis derives some of the crucial elements in determining an effective data sampling plan: visibility, occupancy, and viewership relevancy. The viewership sampling map is computed based on the visibility map, the occupancy map, and the viewership relevancy map; the viewership measurement sensors are placed so that the sensor coverage maximizes the viewership sampling map. The crowd-viewership analysis derives a model of the viewership in relation to the system parameters so that the viewership extrapolation can effectively adapt to the time-changing spatial distribution of the viewership; the step identifies crowd dynamics, and its invariant features as the crucial elements that extract the influence of the site, display, and the crowd to the temporal changes of viewership. The extrapolation map is formulated around these quantities, so that the site-wide viewership can be effectively estimated from the sampled viewership measurement.

The present invention relates to a tibial prosthesis having an articulating component and a tray component. The articulating component is configured for attachment to the tray component. Additionally, the articulating component may be attached to the tray component in a first condition in which the articulating component is at least rotatable relative to the tray component. This allows for the tray component to be attached to the tibia in a position that provides for proper rotation of the tray component with respect to the tibia and / or prevents the tray component from overhanging the resected tibia. Then, the articulating component may be rotated and / or translated to a position that provides for proper alignment of the articulating component with a femoral prosthesis. Once in this positioned, a locking mechanism is used to rotationally fix the articulating component to the tray component.

Fluidically-assisted sensor systems for fast sensing of chemical and biological substances

The present invention is directed to devices and methods in which one or more miniature synthetic jet actuators are integrated with a chemical fluidic sensor (ChemFET) to effect inhalation and exhalation of ambient gas samples and induce small scale mixing at the surface of the sensor. The fluidically integrated jet transports ambient gas or liquid into the jet / sensor assembly through integrated gas or liquid channels, impinges the sample gas or liquid on the sensing element, and finally ejects the sample gas or liquid back into the ambient gas or liquid. The response of the sensor in the presence of the active jet is compared to its response when the jet is inactive. The jet actuator directs entrained ambient gas or liquid toward the active surface of the sensor, and the impingement of sample gas or liquid onto the surface of the sensor results in faster response time. Other embodiments are also claimed and described.
