A method and apparatus for efficient handling of product returns to reduce associated costs. A computer system at a regional product return center scans a returned product for identifying information, accesses a manufacturer return approval computer system through the internet or the like, and then submits the identifying information to the manufacturer for return approval. The manufacturer computer system utilizes the identifying information to access an electronic registration database to determine whether the returned product satisfies applicable return criteria. If so, the product is approved for return to the manufacturer. The regional product return center preferably scans a plurality of returned products in a single session. In response to the product identifying information submitted by the regional product return center, the manufacturer provides a list of approved returns and unapproved returns, along with a return authorization number for the batch of approved returns. The regional product return center then assembles the approved product returns into a box, shipping pallet, or the like, applies a label indicating the return authorization label, and ships the batch to the manufacturer. Shipping costs can be saved by omitting rejected product returns from the shipment. The manufacturer can handle the approved product returns from the regional return center as a batch, thereby reducing costs.

A communication network supports mobile electronic devices, each containing different types of profile information relating to operation of the device and access to services of the network. Server functionality for device management, customer care, provisioning, diagnostics, downloading, and subscriber self-care are communicatively coupled to facilitate the sharing of device management tasks and information. Different types of profile information may be accessed/updated in a single session using a device management protocol. The mobile electronic device may track specific network and device events, and notify the server functionality of the occurrence of such events. Information about the occurrence of the tracked events, and profile information may be made accessible to external entities such as a device manufacturers and 3^rd parties.

A method and system for issuing anonymous, or user-independent, certificates for secure communication over a network, such as the Internet, to provide authentication and automated login to electronic services. A pool of user-independent certificates is generated. Once the user is identified, a user-independent roaming certificate is automatically transferred to the user's computer for encryption of communications during a single session. Once the user completes the online session or transaction, the issued digital certificate and associated key material is released back to the pool of digital certificates and can be re-used.

In a device registration system, user authentication and device authentication of a CE device are executed in a single session, and the user and the CE device are associated with each other if these authentications succeed. The CE device obtains information for the user authentication from an IC card and a portable memory, and sends the information and device authentication information to a device registration unit. The device registration unit sends the information for the user authentication to a user authentication unit, and the device authentication information to a device authentication unit. The user authentication unit executes a user authentication process and sends information of the user to the device registration unit if the authentication succeeds. The device authentication unit executes a device authentication process and sends information of the device to the device registration unit if the authentication succeeds. The device registration unit associates the user information and the device information with each other.

An application server generates and maintains a server-side data record, also referred to as a “brownie”, that includes application state information and user attribute information for multiple users within a single session controlled by a web-based browser. The brownie includes a session identifier that uniquely identifies the session, and a subsession identifier that uniquely identifies each corresponding user of the application session. As each new user is added to the session, for example by initiating a call to the new user, the application server stores the subsession identifier and corresponding application state information for the new user in the same brownie. In response to receiving a second web page request from the browser that includes the session identifier, the application server initiates a new web application instance, and recovers the brownie from the memory based on the session identifier included in the second page request.

A network monitoring system that summarizes a plurality of data packets of a session into a compact session record for storage and processing. Each session record may be produced in real-time and made available during the session and/or after the termination of the session. Depending on protocols, a network monitoring system extracts different sets of information, removes redundant information from the plurality of data packets, and adds performance information to produce the session record. The network monitoring system may retrieve and process a single session record or multiple session records for the same or different protocols to determine cause of events, resolve issues in a network or evaluate network performance or conditions. The session record enables analysis in the units of session instead of individual packets. Hence, the network monitoring system can analyze events, issues or performance of the network more efficiently and effectively.

This invention relates to single session image guided all field simultaneous radiation therapy combined with hyperthermia. Hyperthermia renders the radiation resistant cells as more radiation sensitive cells. The high and super-high dose rate radiation greatly improves the RBE of the photon radiation. It also minimizes photon radiation therapy's OER and cell cycle dependent tumor cell kill by minimizing the repair capacity of cell after photon radiation. Single session hyperthermia and radiation therapy overcomes the thermotolerance-associated inefficiency of hyperthermia treatment as it is when hyperthermia is combined with fractionated, lower dose rate radiation. The synergetic effects of sublethal damage repair inhibiting single session hyperthermia-combined with high dose and dose rate single session radiation therapy, and combined chemotherapy brings the photon radiation therapy's tumor cure and control capabilities closer to high LET radiation therapy.

An aggregation procedure for aggregating of a number of session descriptions parameters corresponding to a multitude of channels into one single session description. Each channel is described by a mandatory unique identifier. A corresponding client application processes the SDP describing the channel bundle and uses the found information for allowing a user to switch to a channel associated with a certain identifier. Signaling of a channel switch control unit, which is part of the multi-channel streaming server, receives a multitude of RTP flows and selects one of the flows for forwarding to the client. A switching point determination is a part of the channel switch control unit and determines the next possible point of time for switching to a requested channel. The client application receives time information for the switch point in response to a channel switch request.

A data service system includes web servers, each servicing any access request received by the data service system. Duplicate application servers are also provided, each processing any request directed from any one of the web servers. A session state information managing system is provided to allow different application servers to process requests belonging to a single session without requiring the requests to carry their entire session state information. The managing system includes a session state information manager that, when called by an application server in processing a request, (1) provides the session state information of the request to the application server, and (2) generate a state reference for a new session state information for the request after the application server has processed the request and generated the new session state information. The managing system also includes a store that stores all session state information.

A method of communicating an encrypted data broadcast to a plurality of virtual private network receivers is disclosed. A first communication channel is established between a first one of the receivers and a network node. A private data stream is communicated to the first receiver on the first channel. A request is received from the first receiver to join a broadcast data stream that is directed to a plurality of receivers by a broadcast server. A second encrypted communication channel is established between the first receiver and the network node for purposes of carrying the broadcast data stream. Decryption information, which the first receiver can use to decrypt information that is sent on the second channel, is sent to the first receiver through the first channel. The broadcast data stream is then communicated to the first receiver on the second channel. As a result, a particular receiver can receive an encrypted broadcast that is encrypted as part of a single session for a large plurality of other receivers, without impacting separate, private encrypted communications conducted by the particular receiver.

A medical accelerator system consisting of coplanar and non-coplanar beams, on line magnetic resonance anatomic and functional imaging and cone beam computed tomographic imaging for single session image guided all field simultaneous radiation therapy and radiosurgery is provided. This system enables single session simulation, field-shaping block making, treatment planning, dose calculations and treatment of tumors. The radiation exposure time to the tumor and the normal tissue is reduced to a few seconds to less than a minute. In filed intensity modulated radiation is rendered by combined divergent and pencil beam, multiple smaller fields within a larger field, selectively varying beam's energy, dose rate and beam weight. Since all the treatment fields are treated simultaneously the dose rate at the tumor site is the sum of each of the converging beam's dose rate at depth. This super-high biological dose rate impairs the lethal and sublethal damage repair.

The invention relates to the backup of a user session on a network. When the user at a client, such as an ISP, makes a request on the network, this request is routed by a load balancer to a primary host server on the network. The selection of the server is done by the load balancer in such a manner as to distribute the load on the system evenly and prevent overloading of one particular server. Once the user request has been routed, user specific information such as a session identification code or a password is provided to the primary host server and the session is set up. A single session must comprise of at least one application process on the selected primary host server. On commencement of the session, the load balancer designates at least one other server on the network to act as primary backup server for the user session set up on the primary host server. The primary backup server stores session information from the primary host server and in case of a server breakdown, the backup server takes over as the primary server. The load balancer then configures another server to act as backup server for this new primary server. According to the invention, the backup function of the servers is equitably distributed across servers so as to ensure that no one server is excessively burdened with the backup functions.

Disclosed herein is a method of improving a security performance in a stateful inspection of TCP connections. In the security performance improvement method, a stateful inspection computer, placed between first and second hosts in which TCP connections are set up, creates a single session entry corresponding to a new SYN packet whenever the new SYN packet is generated between the first and second hosts. A state of connection progress is updated whenever a packet for a flow between the first and second hosts arrives at the stateful inspection computer. It is determined whether a time required for the updated connection progress has exceeded a predetermined timeout. Further, a session entry in an embryonic connection stage exceeding the timeout is purged. Accordingly, the present invention is advantageous in that it efficiently uses the memory of a stateful inspection computer, maintains lookup performance, and continues stateful inspection even in the face of network attacks, thus improving security performance of the stateful inspection computer.

A multi-party reliable transport protocol for use by a higher layer application. A single session source distributes database updates to multiple receivers via a distribution tree. A node desiring to join a session selects a directly-connected node on a path upstream to a source by accessing unicast routing protocol information and sends a “Join” message to this upstream neighbor. Each node participating in the scheme handles retransmission requests from its directly-connected downstream neighbors. A supported application provides storage of previously transmitted information for potential retransmission.

In addition, the apparatus and method make use of correlation tokens in the LDAP environment so that LDAP client and server operations may be correlated with one another in an end-to-end transaction. Mechanisms for passing correlation tokens between plug-in modules for the same LDAP server operation and passing correlation tokens between the LDAP client and LDAP server, and among LDAP client calls within a single session, are provided.

Method, apparatus, and computer products are provided for providing temporary generated codes by a server. Responsive to triplet authentication of a device to service provider network, a server receives an initial code from the device to request a temporary generated code. The server verifies the triplet authentication of device. The server determines whether there is a user account match to the initial code. The server determines a corresponding application server based on the initial code and the user account match. The server generates a temporary generated code to access the application server. The temporary generated code is transmitted to both the application server and the communication device, is set to expire at a preset time, is generated to allow the user access to a single session on the application server, and is generated to expire after the temporary generated code is input to access the single session on application server.
