New License Fee May Face Operators

New License Fee May Face Operators 01/26/2004 06:27 PM
A patent awarded to Nomadix last week could force hotspot operators to pay royalties to Nomadix or change the way their networks work: Nomadix received a patent for technology that it claims it developed first which allows hotspot operators to redirect customers to a sign-up page, often referred to as a "gateway" page, when they first fire up their computers. "We're the first to develop this technology and we've been doing it for a while," said Joel Short, chief technology officer and senior vice president for Nomadix. Many hotspot networks, particularly the larger ones that charge for access, redirect customers to a specific home page where they can sign in or pay for access. Often their methods for redirect were developed in-house. Redirection involves the access point or back-end system capturing any Web page request from an unauthenticated user on the network and redirecting them to a page that contains login or usage information. "Some have copied what we've done," Short said. "We stand behind our intellectual property and now we're going to encourage those folks who provide that method to license the technology from us." STSN, Hilton Hotels, and some McDonald's restaurants have licensed Nomadix technology, but T-Mobile, Wayport, Cometa, Surf and Sip, and other hotspot operators don't have licenses. STSN and Nomadix have both received investments from the Intel Capital wireless fund. Most of the non-licensed operators have been reluctant to discuss the new patent. Cometa declined to comment on the matter. T-Mobile has been working on a comment since the middle of last week but has yet to provide a reaction to the new patent. Wayport and Surf and Sip are looking into the issue further before commenting. If Nomadix chooses to pursue companies that use redirect without licensing its technology, the operators will either have to pay license fees, argue the reasonableness of the patent in court, or forgo using redirect. Redirection allows new or existing customers to avoid installing client software for connecting to a network, although some networks are moving towards requiring special hotspot software, which would sidestep this issue. Many free community networks have also used redirection as a method of asking users to acknowledge that they are agreeing to a set of principles to use the free networks. Schlotzsky's Deli and many free or sponsored commercial networks also employ the method. Companies are not required to enforce patents as they are trademarks;...

Five Innovative Firms Face The
Competition

Five Innovative Firms Face The
Competition 09/08/2004 12:32 PM
Innovators don't always survive. In fact, there are plenty of stories of innovative companies who blazed the path for others to follow, but who were trampled by all those fast followers. News.com has written up a piece looking at five such innovative companies, all of whom are now facing strong competition from established companies: Netflix, TiVo, PalmSource, RIM and Vonage. All five have their similarities. They all came first in their space, and they have customers who absolutely adore them. Now, they all have some pretty big competition. So, the question for all of these companies is whether they can adapt and stay ahead, or if they'll be historical footnotes. All have been adjusting, from Netflix and TiVo's rumor ed deal with each other, to the new smartphone RIM released, to Vonage's push to get bundled in with Linksys and Netgear equipment. Whether or not that's enough remains to be seen. It's both interesting (and encouraging) to note that, while all of these companies seem to have various patents, none seem to simply be relying solely on those patents as a competitive advantage, but rather are realizing they really do need to offer more innovative products. Given the trend lately of companies using patent licensing to impede, rather than promote, innovative uses of technology, this is a good thing. As we've said before, sustainable competitive advantage is the real myth of IT. Building up successive, fleeting competitive advantages is how a company really needs to maintain its position or grow long-term.

I've post ed earlier on the difference between (for instance) microformats and micro-content - and I rely upon Danny for technical issues like this - as he's one of those Atom/rdf nerds who I trust.

Danny has lots of good things to say - take a read.

Increased Bird Aggressiveness: Is There
Something Ominous Going On?

Increased Bird Aggressiveness: Is There
Something Ominous Going On? 06/17/2005 03:27 PM

Perhaps it's just because I'm paying closer attention, but in the past few months I have observed an alarming number of instances of groups of small birds savagely and relentlessly pursuing and attacking larger birds. The first time I noticed it I put it down to defence of the nest, mates or young, but I have seen it so often lately, and in such Hitchcockian extremes (I watched a crow fleeing frantically from a dozen much smaller birds, for a full fifteen minutes, and heard it utter what were obviously anguished cries of pain at the ferocity of the attack) that I'm wondering if there's something more sinister going on. I understand redwing blackbirds are known to gang up on crows, but on at least two of these occasions the gang-attack 'victims' have been jays and even hawks. I've seen a raft of instances where birds attacked others with such frenzy that both the attackers and victims flew recklessly into oncoming road traffic. These avian participants are so common in the summer here that I'm sure I would have noticed this phenomenon before if it had been anywhere near as frequent or belligerent. And this week's CSM reports an increase in bird-on-human and bird-on-car attacks as well, and chalks it up to encroachment on bird habitat. Has anyone else notice increased bird aggressiveness? Anyone have any theories or even intriguing hypotheses? Might there be a connection to the surge in West Nile Virus among some of these birds?

Increased Pump Diaphragm Life

Increased Pump Diaphragm Life 09/22/2004 02:18 AM
Recently, a manufacturer of metal soup cans located in New Jersey approached Blacoh Fluid Control with a problem. They were using 2" air diaphragm pumps attached to the bottom of a 35' tall tank to transfer a solution used to line the cans. Their problem was that the pumps were fitted with costly PTFE diaphragms that failed after a short period of time due to the high positive inlet pressure to the pump. Additionally, the pump’s sealing clamp bands leaked, causing excessive downtime and sanitation concerns. Finally, the pumps were noisy and vibrated violently during normal operation. To eradicate these issues, Blacoh Fluid Control, in cooperation with their local distributor, installed one 2” J2400T Stainless Steel and PTFE inlet stabilizer. This created a smooth flow into the pump, which lessened strain on the pump’s sealing clamps, reduced noise and vibration, and dramatically increased pump diaphragm life. [PRWEB Sep 22, 2004]
