A method and system for method and system for efficiently directing interrupts is disclosed. In a computer system having multiple processors, a computer implemented method, upon detecting an interrupt directed to one of the processors, determines a policy for efficiently handling the interrupt. Upon invoking the policy, the interrupt is redirected according thereto to a second processor for handling. The policies include an I/O affinity policy, a local memory policy, and a reduced I/O intension policy. In a multiple processor environment, a computer based system efficiently handles an interrupt directed to one of the processors. The system includes an interrupt dispatching module for redirecting the interrupt from that processor to another processor, where the interrupt is handled. The system also includes an interrupt redirection policy module associated with the interrupt dispatching module. The policy module provides a policy for controlling interrupt redirection, which promotes efficient operation.

The invention relates to systems for stored compressed air without use of combustion.

The invention creates a financial incentive for conserving energy costs by building compressed air storage systems which heretofore have seen little application.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for fabricating densely stacked ball-grid-array packages into a three-dimensional multi-package array. Integrated circuit packages are stacked on one another to form a module. Lead carriers provide an external point of electrical connection to buried package leads. Lead carriers are formed with apertures that partially surround each lead and electrically and thermally couple conductive elements or traces in the lead carrier to each package lead. Optionally thin layers of thermally conductive adhesive located between the lead carrier and adjacent packages facilitates the transfer of heat between packages and to the lead carrier. Lead carriers may be formed of custom flexible circuits having multiple layers of conductive material separated by a substrate to provide accurate impedance control and providing high density signal trace routing and ball-grid array connection to a printed wiring board.

In a communication system for a mobile node according to IPv6, a virtual network prefix is configured as a prefix specific to a mobile node in a domain having a plurality of subnetworks. In the domain, a packet is sent to the mobile node by host-based routing on an IPv6 address formed of the virtual network prefix and an interface ID. The communications process with the mobile node which cannot identify a virtual network prefix is performed using a physical network prefix according to IPv6. Accordingly, nodes which can and cannot identify a virtual network prefix can coexist in the domain.

A drag-and-drop direct printing method with enhanced functions is described. A printing bin icon is provided on the computer's desktop, and the user drags files onto the icon to print the files without manually opening them. The printing bin program allows a user to set basic printing property settings, select a printer, compose a page, etc. all without visibly opening the files or the full printing and print properties interface. Simple popup menus, such as a printing property setting menu, printer selection menu, page composition menu, etc. are provided to allow the user to accomplish these functions. In one embodiment, when a user drops a file in the printing bin icon, a popup menu allows the user to select one of multiple printing methods, such as print with current settings, change settings and print, select printer and print, compose page and print, etc.

A disposable absorbent diaper has an outer cover, a bodyside liner, and an absorbent core positioned between the outer cover and the bodyside liner. A lofty, resilient, liquid permeable lofty spacer layer is positioned between the absorbent core and the outer cover and in liquid communication with the absorbent core. The absorbent core can be made from standard airformed materials which may have a combination of reduced surface area, narrow crotch width and a permeability level which may permit free liquid run off during insult to the garment. The lofty spacer layer has a high void volume and is also made of economical materials and desirably has a width in the crotch region greater than a width of the absorbent core in the crotch region to provide distribution of the free liquid run off underneath the absorbent core, allowing for reduction of the width of the absorbent core in the crotch region to provide an economical diaper with improved fit and leakage while reducing reliance on a gasketing system. The lofty resilient spacer layer will desorb into the absorbent core between insults thereby retaining its spacer layer function for use with breathable outer covers.

A method used in wireless communications for displaying an icon on a wireless communications device indicating that a calling party is a subscriber of a same wireless communications service provider of a called party. A terminating mobile station switching center (MSC) flags a routing number port associated with a routing number and returns the routing number to an originating MSC when it determines that a request for the routing number is sent from a home locator register (HLR) of the called party's wireless communications service provider and the calling party is also a subscriber of the called party's wireless communications service provider. When receiving an incoming call, the terminating MSC inspects whether the incoming call is to be sent through a flagged routing number port. If so, the terminating MSC generates a SETUP message with an instructions to display the icon. In responsive to the SETUP message, the wireless communications device of the called party displays the icon accordingly, indicating that the calling party is a subscriber of the same wireless communications service provider as the called party.

System and method for advertising on mobile devices, wherein an application installed on the device is linked with a device side component capable of requesting an advertisement, displaying the advertisement, and reporting the user reaction to the advertisement, assisted by an advertising server, such that the effort to implement advertisement support on the part of the application developer may be reduced (e.g., minimized) compared to other typical advertising systems and methods.

A communications security system has been described. The security system in the form of a firewall is made up of a plurality of communicatively coupled sets of modules in a matrix configuration. The modules may be implemented in hardware and software in order to rely on the advantages of each technology. Data packets are typically coupled to an ingress side of the firewall where policy rules having the highest importance are checked first. The result is a high speed system having carrier class availability.

A containment flap for an absorbent article, such as an incontinence garment, has elasticity in the long axis and extensibility of the flap with a low modulus of elasticity in its transverse direction. The long axis tension of the flap has a force vector normalized to the transverse direction when the flap is placed in curvature over the body of a wearer, thereby providing a force for extending the flap in the transverse direction to maintain contact with the body of the wearer when the garment begins to sag, such as may happen due to gravity when the garment is loaded with absorbed bodily fluids. Material suitable for constructing such flaps is further disclosed.

The present invention relates to a communication system supporting data communication and comprising at least a first core network with a plurality of circuit switched (CS) core network functional server nodes and a second core network with a number of packet switched (PS) core network functional sever nodes for packet switched communication.

High loft, low density nonwoven webs suitable for use in a variety of applications requiring strong fabric layers are produced by forming substantially continuous, spunbond, crimped, bicomponent fibers of crimpable, e.g., side by side or eccentric sheath/core (A/B) configuration which are unheated prior to collection. The fibers are then heated and cooled in the absence of impeding forces to achieve maximum crimp in the Z-direction and produce a web of lofted material of greater uniformity than attained with comparable material whose fibers are drawn by a heated process. The resultant nonwoven material can then be pattern bonded or laminated for additional strength without interfering with the desired loft of the low density nonwoven. The additionally strengthened nonwoven may then be further processed such as by lamination or the like to further increase its utility.
