US Patent:

57875316, Aug 4, 1998

Filed:

Jul 23, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/685265

Inventors:

Michael Francis Pepe - Sierra Madre CA

International Classification:

A47C 2710

US Classification:

5710

Abstract:

An inflatable pad or mattress wherein the air cells spanning a central region of the pad or mattress are extended in at least one dimension relative to the air cells of the foot and/or head region of the mattress. The heavier portions of a person's body, including the upper torso and hips, contact the higher air cells, while the lighter portions of the person's body are in contact with the shorter air cells. The pad preferably includes a single air passage interconnecting the various air cells. The air passage includes a flow-throttling device communicating with individual cells, whereby air flow from one cell to another cell is restricted to delay pressure equalization action among the cells.

Abstract:

An example method can include detecting a transaction associated with an application; identifying a characteristic of the transaction; determining a priority for network traffic associated with the application, based on the identified characteristic; selecting, from a plurality of types of networks that are communicatively coupled with the user device and based on the priority for the network traffic, a network type for the network traffic; and causing the network traffic to be routed, from the user device, through a network device associated with the selected network type.

International Classification:

H04W 72/08
H04W 72/04

Abstract:

A system described herein may provide a technique for identifying User Equipment (“UEs”) associated with relevant users, such as “personal” UEs associated with first responders, based on the occurrence of an event, notifying the UEs of the event, and modifying radio access network (“RAN”) parameters such that the identified UEs are provided with priority access. Further, such modifications may be temporary (e.g., reverted after the event has occurred). In this manner, personal UEs associated with relevant users may be dynamically provided priority access in situations where such access may be beneficial, without needing to permanently provide the priority access to such UEs.
