Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a virtualization-based remote video conference providing system,

The present invention relates to a virtualization-based remote video conferencing system, and more particularly, to a virtual-based remote video conferencing system, in which a video camera connected to client terminals is shared through a remote virtualization server, Is connected to the client terminal and takes the video camera resource and executes it through the virtual machine, thereby sharing the video camera resource between the client terminals and the virtualization server without slowing down or increasing the traffic, so that the QoS is guaranteed, Based virtual teleconferencing system.

In recent years, video conferencing systems that can face-to-face meetings at remote locations are rapidly being supplied to public institutions, financial institutions, education, telecommunication companies, hospitals, and companies. Recently, The market for videoconferencing systems in Korea is rapidly increasing due to diversification and high-speed internet.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a conventional multi-party video conferencing system. The conventional general multi-party video conferencing system includes a plurality of video conferencing terminal units 100-1, 100-2, 100-3, ..., 100-n and a multiparty video conferencing server unit 200 .

The multipoint video conferencing server unit 200 and the video conferencing terminal units 100-1, 100-2, 100-3, ..., 100-n are connected to a wide area network (WAN) And an Internet network such as a local area network (LAN), and performs data communication according to the TCP / IP protocol and / or the UDP protocol.

The video conference terminal units 100-1, 100-2, 100-3, ..., 100-n include a display device, a camera 130, and an image processing terminal 110. 1, the display devices of the videoconference terminal units 100-1, 100-2, 100-3, ...., 100-n are connected to the bending type screen 101 and the projectors 120-1, 120-2 , ..., 120-n).

The video conference terminal units 100-1, 100-2, 100-3, ...., 100-n are connected to the conference video server unit 200 and log in using an ID and a password, Participates in the video conference group, and when the multi-party video conference is started, at least one participant is photographed and the video data of each participant is provided to the multi-video conference server unit 200.

In addition, the video conference terminal units 100-1, 100-2, 100-3, ...., 100-n transmit the size information of the multi-party video conference image displayed on the display device thereof to the multi- (200).

The multi-party video conferencing server unit 200 may be configured by a multi-user video conferencing unit (MCU) server and a web server, or may be configured such that the MCU server performs functions of a web server.

The multiparty video conferencing server unit 200 is connected to a plurality of video conferencing terminal units 100-1, 100-2, 100-3, ...., 100- 100-2, 100-3, ..., 100-n located in the plurality of video conference terminals 100-1 to 100-n perform group conference.

Then, the multi-party video conferencing server unit 200 receives at least one conversation partner from each of the grouped video conferencing terminal units 100-1, 100-2, 100-3, ...., 100-n 100-1, 100-2, 100-3, ..., and 100-n corresponding to the screen size of the video conference terminal units 100-1, 100-2, 100-3, ..., 100-n to which the received video data has been transmitted, Multipoint video conferencing video data synthesized by the video conferencing terminal 100-1, 100-2, 100-3, ...., 100-n. At this time, video data of a talker of the video conferencing terminal units 100-1, 100-2, 100-3, ..., 100-n to be transmitted are not synthesized in the multipoint video conferencing video data.

According to such conventional general multi-party video conferencing system, the multi-party conferencing server unit combines the video of the talker participating in the video conferencing and transmits it to each video conferencing terminal unit.

Therefore, the traffic generated in the multi-party video conferencing system is significant, which may cause a problem of speed degradation, and consequently the quality of the multi-party video conferencing service can not be guaranteed. Particularly, as the number of talkers participating in a video conference increases, the amount of traffic increases exponentially, which results in a problem that a substantial teleconferencing service can not be provided.

The virtualization service that can be applied to the video conferencing service system has recently become more important in the security of internal business secrets and customer information in corporations and research institutes, and it takes a lot of time and manpower for centralized PC management The need for efficient use and management through the computer environment is growing, so it is a technology field in which research has been concentrated.

On the other hand, as cloud system construction becomes more active, device redirection related technologies for sharing end-user devices (for example, video cameras, etc.) other than sharing server resources are increasingly being developed. In a cloud environment that provides virtualization technology, virtualization servers organically connect many devices, exchange data with each other, and provide services.

However, the conventional device redirection technology has a problem that the speed is lowered because a device such as a video camera is executed through the client terminal.

For example, the USB driver may not be able to be executed or the version may be low depending on the USB driver, which may cause a connection speed problem. In addition, in the existing system, even if the USB is the upper version, since it is executed through the client terminal and remotely shared, the program has to be executed at the lowest version speed, and as a result, the execution speed is lowered.

Conventionally, not only device resources such as a video camera are shared between a client terminal and a virtualization server, but device resources executed through the client terminal are shared between client terminals, thereby increasing unnecessary consumption of network resources due to increased traffic.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1099369 (Dec. 29, 2011, entitled: Multiparty Video Conference System and Method)

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a virtualization-based teleconference provision system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The sizes and shapes of the components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience. In addition, terms defined in consideration of the configuration and operation of the present invention may be changed according to the intention or custom of the user, the operator.

Virtualization service refers to a service that enables a virtual PC environment on the Internet to realize a business environment anytime and anywhere without restriction of time and space through various terminals.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a virtualization-based remote video conference providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a detailed block diagram of FIG.

2 and 3, the virtualization-based teleconference conference providing system according to the present invention basically comprises a plurality of client terminals 10 having a client agent 11 and a plurality of client terminals 10 A CB (Connection Broker) manager 20 for allowing the plurality of client terminals 10 to connect to the virtualization server 30 and a virtual machine 33 connected to the connected client terminals 10 And a virtualization server 30 that provides a virtualization-based video conferencing service.

That is, the virtualization-based remote video conference providing system according to the present invention includes a plurality of client terminals 10, a plurality of client terminals 10 authenticated and a plurality of client terminals 10 connected to the virtualization server 30, And a virtualization server 30 for providing a virtualization-based video conferencing service to the connected client terminals 10. The client terminal 10 includes a connection broker (CB) manager 20, Each of which includes a client agent 11, and the virtualization server 30 comprises a server agent 31. [

The client terminal 10 is a component operated by video conference participants, and a video conference participant can perform a video conference with another remote video conference participant using the client terminal 10. [ The client terminal may be any terminal capable of accessing the Internet, such as a desktop, a PC such as a notebook computer, a smart device such as a smart phone, and a tablet PC.

The CB manager 20 plays a role of assigning a virtualization server to a client terminal according to a user's request. That is, the CB manager 20 performs a role of authenticating a client terminal of a user who desires to receive a virtual video conference service based on virtualization, performing authentication, and allowing a server connection to designate and assign a virtual machine .

 More specifically, the CB manager 20 grasps the operation status of the authentication module 21 and the virtualization server 30, which allow connection between the client terminal 10 and the virtualization server 30 through client authentication, A server allocation module 23 for allocating a virtualization server 30 to a terminal and a monitoring module 25 for monitoring an operation state of the virtualization server 30.

The authentication module 21 confirms the access right of the user through the login authentication of the user who wants to connect to the virtualization server 30 so that only the authorized user can access the virtualization server 30, It allows the allocation of arbitrary virtual machines.

The authentication module 21 also plays a role of setting an environment according to the user account information so that the user can access the virtual machine again at a desired time when the use of the virtual machine allocated to the user is terminated.

The server allocation module 23 monitors the real-time operating state of the virtualization server 30 through the monitoring module 25 and allocates an optimal virtualization server to the client terminal.

 The monitoring module 25 monitors in real time the resource allocation status of the virtualization servers, the usage information and the use of the generated virtual machines, and allocates the optimal virtualization server to the client terminal by referring to the server allocation module do.

Also, the monitoring module 25 monitors the resource information of the virtualization server, and the server allocation module 23 refers to the resource information to determine whether the virtualization server requests the sharing of the video camera resource with the client terminal. For example, the monitoring module 25 monitors the terminal registration storage module 31c included in the server agent 31 and allows the server allocation module 23 to refer to the monitoring result. Then, the server allocation module determines that the server agent can request the sharing of the image camera resources connected to the client terminals previously selected in the terminal registration storage module or the client terminals selected by the specific client terminal.

When a plurality of client terminals 10 are connected to the virtualization server 30 by the authentication of the CB manager 20, in order to receive a video conference service with users of other client terminals in the virtualization server, And a client agent 11 for continuously checking whether or not the camera 1 is connected. When the client agent 11 is connected to the virtualization server and the connection of the image camera 1 is detected as a result of checking whether the image camera is connected, the client agent 11 confirms whether the virtual camera 30 is to share the image camera.

That is, when the client agent 11 of the client terminal 10 is connected to the virtualization server and the connection of the video camera 1 is detected, the client agent 11 confirms sharing of the video camera with the virtualization server 30. For example, the client agent 11 of the client terminal 10 can inquire whether the image camera is shared through a message transmission or a pop-up window. The client terminal 10 confirms whether or not the video camera is shared with the virtualization server in order to determine whether the client terminal 10 corresponds to a participant who can receive the video conference service in the virtualization server 30. [

The virtualization server 30 controls a virtual machine through a hypervisor 35 and designates a virtual machine 33 for executing the image camera 1, And a server agent (31) for controlling the virtual machine (33) to execute the resource acquisition from the image camera (1) connected to the virtual camera (33).

The server agent 31 installed in the virtualization server 30 is connected to the client terminal 11 through the client terminal 11. The client agent 11 is connected to the client terminal 10, When the image camera 1 is connected to and shared with the virtual camera 10, the image camera resource converted and input through the server agent 31 is requested to be executed in the virtual machine assigned to the virtualization server It plays a role.

As a result, the client agent 11 and the server agent 31 do not share the results of the image camera 1 executed by the client terminal 10 over the network, The virtualization server 30 is a client and the client terminal 10 becomes a server so that the virtualization server 30 requests the client terminal 10 to execute a video camera resource And to control the use of the software.

More specifically, when the image camera 1 is connected to the client terminal 10, the client agent 11 converts the image camera resource into a form that can be transmitted, And the server agent 31 of the virtualization server 30 is connected to the client terminal 10 in a selected protocol mode or a socket mode based on the image camera 1 information So that it is possible to control the virtual camera to be executed in the virtual machine while maintaining the speed according to the interface version of the image camera.

3, the client agent 11 includes a connection detection / sharing confirmation module 11a, a video camera information provision module 11b, and a resource conversion / transmission module 11c. Specifically, the client agent 11 detects whether the image camera 1 is connected to the client terminal 10, and when the connection is detected, the client agent 11 notifies the server agent 31 of connection detection A sharing confirmation module 11a, a video camera information providing module 11b for transmitting the video camera information to the server agent 31 when the sharing is selected by the server agent 31, And a resource conversion / transmission module (11c) for converting the resource conversion / transmission module (11c) to the server agent (31).

As soon as the client terminal 10 is connected to the virtualization server 30, the connection detection / sharing confirmation module 11a determines whether or not the image camera 1 is connected to the client terminal 10, The detection operation is performed.

When the connection of the image camera 1 is detected according to the continuous detection check operation by the connection detection / sharing confirmation module 11a, the connection detection / sharing confirmation module 11a notifies the connected server agent 31 Check whether the camera is shared. The image camera sharing confirmation may be performed through a simple interfacing operation. For example, you can ask whether you want to confirm the sharing via a pop-up window or ask if you want to confirm the sharing through a message.

Even if the image camera is connected to the client terminal, the client terminal is operated in the virtualization server to receive a remote video conferencing service. ), The connection detection / sharing confirmation module 11a confirms whether the video camera is shared with the connected server agent 31 because the virtualization-based video conference service can be provided only when it corresponds to the virtualization-based video conference service.

As a result of the confirmation, when the sharing selection is generated by the server agent 31, the image camera information providing module 11b parses the information of the image camera 1 and provides the information to the server agent 31. [ That is, the image camera information providing module 11b transmits the information of the image camera necessary for the server agent 31 to perform the image processing operation of the image camera through the virtual machine.

Then, the server agent 31 requests the sharing of the image camera resources based on the information of the image camera, selects the connection method, and allows the resources of the image camera to be transmitted according to the connection method. When the server agent 31 requests resource sharing of the image camera, the resource conversion / transmission module converts the resource of the image camera and transmits the resource by the connection method.

Here, the image camera 1 is connected to the client terminal 10 through USB, PCI, or the like. The image camera information may include specification information (for example, speed information according to the USB version (1.0 / 1.1 / 2.0 / 3.0)) connected to the client terminal by the image camera, And selects one of a protocol type and a socket type according to the image camera information to control the connection so that the image camera can run in the virtual machine without any speed drop.

The virtualization server 30 does not allow all the video cameras connected to the plurality of client terminals to be executed in the virtualization server but only the video cameras connected to the client terminals selected by the preset client terminals or the specific user To be executed within the virtualization server.

 Specifically, the virtualization server controls the virtual machine 33 so as to execute the virtual machine 33 to acquire resources from the image camera 1 connected to the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal among the plurality of client terminals And a server agent (31). That is, only the users of the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal correspond to the video conference participants, and as a result, only the video cameras connected to the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal, Information is transmitted to the virtualization server and then executed in the virtualization server.

The server agent 31 selects a connection mode based on the virtual camera designation module 31a designating the virtual machine 33 and the image camera information transmitted from the image camera information provision module 11b, The video camera 1 connected to the client terminals GD selected as the conference grouping terminal requests resource sharing and uses the transmitted video camera 1 resources so that the virtual machine 33 can receive the video conference grouping And a connection control module (31b) for allowing a video camera connected to client terminals selected as terminals to be executed.

The connection control module selects a connection mode by using the camera information and enables smooth resource transmission. The connection control module performs resource sharing for the video camera 1 connected to the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal And controls the video camera to be executed by the virtual machine when the requested resources are transmitted. As a result, the virtualization server can display the image information of the image camera 1 connected to the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal.

For example, if there are five video cameras 1 connected to the client terminals GD selected as the videoconferencing grouping terminal, five pieces of video information are displayed in the virtualization server, The screen viewed by the users of the client terminals GD corresponds to the same screen as the screen displayed on the virtualization server.

The virtual machine designation module 31a is a module for designating a virtual machine 33 created in the virtualization server 30 allocated by the client terminal 10 in accordance with the authentication of the CB manager 20 to a virtual machine (33).

Then, the image camera is executed in the virtual machine 33 under the control of the connection control module 31b. Specifically, if there is a sharing confirmation request by the connection detection / sharing confirmation module 11a, the connection control module 31b determines whether the client terminal that has requested the sharing confirmation is the client terminals GD), it is possible to select a share. That is, if there is a sharing confirmation request by a pop-up window or a confirmation message, and a sharing of the image camera is required, the image camera sharing is selected.

When the image camera information is transmitted from the image camera information providing module 11b, the connection control module 31b selects a connection mode based on the image camera information so that the virtualization server is connected to the client terminal do.

Here, the connection control module 31b controls connection by selecting one of a protocol type and a socket type. In general, the protocol method is selected when the image camera interface version is low and low according to the image camera information, and the socket method can be selected when the image camera interface version is high and high according to the image camera information.

The protocol method is a method of confirming the acknowledgment (ACK) information which confirms whether the data sent to the receiving side arrives sequentially from the beginning to the end and whether the transmitted data has arrived properly to the other party. It has high accuracy and stability, There is a problem that the speed is lowered or a delay occurs.

On the other hand, since there is no process of confirming whether the transmitted data has arrived normally, the socket method has an advantage that it can be transmitted at a high transmission rate, but data loss may occur. However, if the version of the camera is high, it needs to cope with the high speed, so it is reasonable to select the socket type with a high transmission speed.

Accordingly, since the virtual machine of the virtualization server can take and use the image camera resource transmitted from the client terminal by appropriately selecting and controlling the protocol method and the socket method by the connection control module 31b, , Reliable data transfer can be possible without lowering the speed of the image camera.

Since the conventional device sharing mechanism is a method of controlling execution in a virtual machine to which a hypervisor of a virtualization server is connected when a client terminal is connected to a device, access control according to the state of the device is not possible. There is a problem that the speed is set to a lower version.

In addition, since the client terminal connects to the virtualization server and the device is executed in the virtual machine, there is a problem that the execution speed of the client terminal is low as well as execution error when the specification of the client terminal is low.

However, the virtualization-based remote video conference providing method according to the present invention does not require the client terminal to access the virtualization server and share resources to execute it, but conversely, the client terminal becomes the server and the server agent of the virtualization server controls the connection and transmission It is possible to perform the flexible connection control according to the state of the image camera and thus to execute the state without lowering the speed of the image camera and the execution can be controlled according to the specification of the virtual machine irrespective of the specification of the client terminal .

Meanwhile, as described above, the connection control module 31b selects a connection mode based on the image camera information, connects to the client terminal, and requests resource sharing of the image camera using the selected connection mode have.

Wherein the connection control module requests the resource sharing of the video camera connected to the client terminals selected as the video conference grouping terminal only when the client terminal corresponds to the client terminals selected as the video conference grouping terminal do.

The client terminals selected as the video conference grouping terminal may correspond to some or all of the client terminal lists stored and managed in the terminal registration storage module 31c that may be provided in the server agent 31. [

The client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal are client terminals grouped in advance and stored and managed in the server agent (refer to FIG. 4A) or stored in the server agent 31 A plurality of client terminal groups G1, G2, ..., Gn, which are client terminals selected by a specific client terminal in a plurality of client terminal lists (see FIG. 4B) or stored in the server agent 31 And the client group terminals selected by the specific client terminal in FIG.

Specifically, FIG. 4A illustrates storing and managing the client terminals GD previously selected as the video conference grouping terminal in the terminal registration storage module 31c provided in the server agent 31 have. In this case, the connection control module 31b requests resource sharing only when the client terminal performing the sharing confirmation is included in the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal that is previously stored and managed Resources are used in the corresponding virtual machine so that the corresponding video camera can be executed. In FIG. 4A, it is exemplified that the client terminals 1 to 5 are preset to the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal.

4B illustrates that a plurality of client terminals are listed and stored in the terminal registration storage module 31c included in the server agent. In FIG. 4B, it is exemplified that the client 1 to the client terminal n are listed and managed. In this state, a specific client terminal (specifically, a user who wants to make a video conference) who wants to make a remote video conference can select another client terminal that wants to make a video conference together.

4B illustrates that the client terminal 1 to the client terminal 5 are selected by a specific client terminal. As a result, the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal correspond to the client terminals (client terminal 1 to client terminal 5) selected by the specific client.

In this case, the connection control module 31b may perform resource sharing only when the client terminal performing the sharing confirmation is included in the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal selected by the specific client terminal The requested resource is used in the corresponding virtual machine so that the corresponding image camera can be executed. Here, the specific client terminal is also included in the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal.

(C) of FIG. 4 illustrates that a plurality of client group terminals G1, G2, ..., Gn are listed and stored in the terminal registration storage module 31c included in the server agent . In FIG. 4C, the clients 1-1 to 1-5 are grouped in the first client group terminal G1, and the clients 2-1 to 2-5 are grouped in the second client group terminal G2. Grouped, and the nth client group terminals Gn are listed and stored and managed. In this state, a specific client terminal (specifically, a user who wants to make a video conference) who wants to make a remote video conference can select a client group terminal that wants to make a video conference together.

In FIG. 4 (c), the first client group terminal G1 grouped from the client terminal 1-1 to the client terminal 1-5 is selected by the specific client terminal. As a result, the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal correspond to the client terminals (client terminal 1-1 to client terminal 1-5) selected by the specific client.

In this case, the connection control module 31b may perform resource sharing only when the client terminal performing the sharing confirmation is included in the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal selected by the specific client terminal The requested resource is used in the corresponding virtual machine so that the corresponding image camera can be executed. Here, the specific client terminal is also included in the client terminals GD selected as the video conference grouping terminal.

The virtualization-based remote video conferencing system is utilized by a corporation or a public institution. Generally, video conferencing is performed by a department or a team. In view of being able to quickly and easily process the configuration of a remote video conferencing system, c) is most preferred.

Meanwhile, the monitoring module 25 of the CB manager 20 monitors the image camera information transmitted to the virtual connection control module 31b. Then, the server allocation module 23 refers to the monitored information and checks whether the information of the resource held by the virtualization server 30 has the same information as the image camera information. For example, it is determined whether a video camera driver version identical to the video camera driver version included in the transmitted video camera information is provided as a resource of the virtualization server.

If it is determined that there is not the same information as the image camera information in the resource information held by the virtualization server 30, the server allocation module 23 transmits a video camera resource sharing necessity message to the connection control module 31b send. Then, the connection control module 31b makes a request to share the image camera resource by accessing the client terminal with the selected connection method.

Upon receiving the request to share the image camera resource, the client terminal converts (or codes) the resource of the image camera through the resource conversion / transmission module and transmits the resource. Then, the connection control module controls the resource of the image camera to be decoded and executed in the virtual machine 33.

Meanwhile, the video conferencing information transmitted from the client terminal to the virtualization server may be stored in a local storage of the virtualization server itself or in a cloud storage to which security is applied. Specifically, the image information is stored in a virtual machine of the virtualization server using an encoding / decoding technique, and can be stored in a security-enabled cloud storage or in its local storage. The security-enabled cloud storage can be shared by authenticated users (client terminal users). The shared image information can be continuously utilized and reviewed by the client terminal user as needed.

On the other hand, the image information storage involves a rise in the CPU occupation rate, and a decoding technique with good performance is required when the image information is shared at a time through decoding. To this end, the virtualization server may include a hardware-based encoding or decoding card or device, thereby preventing occupancy of the CPU from rising during the image treatment. Specifically, the virtualization server recognizes the encoding and decoding card (device) so that information optimized for hardware performance can be displayed.

In particular, when image information is required to be displayed through a multi-channel, the virtualization server recognizes the encoding / decoding card so that image information can be smoothly displayed. In displaying multi-channel images, In a maximum of 4 screens (the maximum screen number is automatically determined in consideration of hardware performance), the image information is displayed by decoding with a higher performance so that the image quality is higher than that of HD.

The procedure of providing the remote video conference by the virtualization-based remote video conference providing system described above will be briefly described below.

The client agent 11 can be downloaded and installed from an external application server.

Then, when the plurality of client terminals used by the user who intends to participate in the video conference request the virtual server connection, the CB manager performs authentication and allocates the virtual server. In this state, the plurality of client terminals may be connected to the virtualization server, and the image camera may or may not be connected.

Specifically, when the user requests access to the virtualization service through the login procedure through the client terminal, the authentication module of the CB manager compares the login information with the login information of the user information stored in the database, An allocation module allocates a virtualization server optimal for the client terminal, and allocates a virtual machine of the virtualization server.

As soon as the virtual machine is allocated as described above, when the image camera connection is detected or detected by the connection detection / sharing confirmation module 11a of the client agent 11, a request to confirm the image camera sharing is transmitted to the server agent do.

The image camera information providing module 11b transmits the connected image camera information to the connection control module 31b according to the sharing selection of the server agent. Then, the connection control module selects a connection mode according to the image camera information, and controls the virtualization server to connect to the client terminal so that the resource of the image camera can be received.

One of the protocol type and the socket type is alternatively selected as the connection mode, and the selection can be continuously changed according to the network status and the transmission rate. A driver that enables transmission by the protocol type and socket type connection is installed in the virtual machine.

Accordingly, the connection control module selectively operates the protocol connection driver or the socket connection driver installed in the virtual machine, so that the resources of the image camera are transmitted in an appropriate communication method appropriate for the communication environment so that the image camera can be executed in the virtual machine .

The connection control module of the server agent accesses the client terminal by a protocol or a socket method to bring the image camera resource through the network and controls the image camera to be executed in the allocated virtual machine.

Here, when the first image camera is connected, the connection control module connects to the client terminal through the protocol method to share the image camera resources. When the communication speed is low or the communication is not smooth, the connection control module switches to the socket method It is preferable to control the connection.

Further, when the version of the device information is high based only on the image camera information, it is possible to connect the device with the web socket method from the beginning without connection in the protocol mode, thereby preventing the speed reduction of the device.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
