Recommending a threshold for a data usage type associated with a mobile device operating on a wireless telecommunication network

The system obtains multiple thresholds for multiple bandwidth usage types associated with a UE. The threshold indicates an amount of bandwidth available to the UE over a predetermined period. Each threshold corresponds to a bandwidth usage type. The multiple thresholds include: roaming data, home data, voice over IP, international voice over IP, roaming voice over IP, international data, and tethering data threshold. The system obtains multiple bandwidth usage patterns of the UE, where each bandwidth usage pattern corresponds to a threshold. The system iterates over each bandwidth usage to determine whether the UE has exceeded or is likely to exceed the threshold within the predetermined period. Upon determining that a bandwidth usage pattern has exceeded or is likely to exceed the threshold within the predetermined period, the system determines an increase to the threshold. The system sends an indication of the increase to the threshold to the UE.

A single PC-based physical network segretation method and apparatus that operates in an environment that uses the operating system installed on the built-in disk device of the laptop PC

PendingKR1020260112904ADisks (device)Home screen
In the present invention, physical network separation is achieved in a laptop PC by simply connecting a network separation dongle according to the present invention while using an operating system installed on the internal disk of the laptop PC. Accordingly, for physical network separation, the internal network cable and the external network cable are connected and used as a basic method. In addition, the external network is configured by connecting the user's smartphone to the network separation dongle of the present invention via a USB cable and then activating the tethering function on the smartphone to convert signals such as 5G, LTE, WiFi, etc., from the smartphone into Ethernet network signals, thereby providing a PC usage environment where at least the PC connected to the network separation dongle can be used safely without worrying about hacking, data leakage, or infection from malware such as ransomware and viruses from the outside. Furthermore, while conventional physical network separation inevitably requires a network interconnection environment via a network for data transmission between internal and external networks, potentially leading to vulnerabilities in network security, the present invention enables data transmission between internal and external networks without a network by creating a shared folder on the desktop of virtual machine software used for the external network, or on any folder within the explorer window of the main screen.

Mobile sea rescue device for rescuing helpless persons adrift in the water from a ship

The invention relates to a further development of a proven RLS sea rescue device into a mobile sea rescue device for the recovery of helpless persons adrift in the water from a ship. The purpose of the invention is to enable helpless persons to be taken on board even with high sides without having to send a boat or an assistant into the water. The mobile sea rescue device has a propulsion system consisting of two ship propellers or water jet compressors, which are remotely controlled from the deck of the ship. To secure the helpless person above a lowered spreader frame and a horizontally stretched support net above it, vertical struts are arranged at the outer ends of the spreader frame, between which a semicircular vertical safety net is stretched, thus securing the person against drifting. To disconnect the crane hook from the load-bearing crane cable of the mobile life-saving device, a coupling adapter is remotely released from a coupling block that is hooked into the crane hook. After the secured person has been positioned under the crane hook, the coupling adapter is pulled into the coupling block from the deck using a safety line and automatically engages in the coupling block for hoisting the mobile life-saving device. Power is supplied either via power cables that run from a power source on deck and are attached to or integrated into the safety line, or by one or more rechargeable batteries integrated into the mobile life-saving device along with radio signal control.
