Title: Water containment structure with fish ladder
Inventor: DOOLAEGE DAVID
IPC: E02B8/08
Filed: 2003-12-29
Abstract: A fish ladder for incorporation between ends of a water structure that includes at least a pair of separate sleeves that are each formed from a puncture resistant flexible material, contain a volume of water and may have a closed end or ends for resting on edge portions of a flat base plate of the fish ladder. The flat base plate includes a pair of parallel spaced apart upstanding side walls that are individually extend across the flat base plate. The upstanding side walls each include pairs of spaced apart channels extending from the side walls, with the pairs align to receive flat rectangular dam sections fitted therein, forming interior dams that a flow of water, as travels through the fish ladder, fills between as pools that fish, traveling up stream, jump between, to travel up the fish ladder and exit into a body of water that is contained by the water structure.

Title: Registering software controls in an operating system
Inventor: MOORE JOHN
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2002-12-20
Abstract: Registering software controls within a secure operating environment is disclosed. The software controls reside within the operating environment in coordination with a control manager. The manager (Figure 1, # 102) facilitates registration and authorization of new controls. The manager detects that new control has been placed within the operating environment. The manager reads the type of the control. The manager initiates an encode/decode sequence with the control. A key string is exchanged and modified between the manager and the control. Preferably, a random number is generated and added to the key string by the manager (Figure 1, # 106). The manager reads the result of the encode/decode sequence from the control. If the result is acceptable, then the manager adds the control to its control list (Figure 1, # 110). If the result is not acceptable, the manager ignores or shutdowns the control.

Title: Illumination device for simulating neon lighting through use of fluorescent dyes
Inventor: CLEAVER MARK J
IPC: F21S4/00
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: An illumination device simulates neon lighting and allows for emission of light in colors that cannot ordinarily be achieved by use of LEDs along through the incorporation of a light color conversion system into the illumination device. This light color conversion system comprises an intermediate light-transmitting medium (22) tinted with a predetermined combination of one or more fluorescent dyes. Light emitted from the light source (16) of the illumination device is directed into the intermediate light-transmitting medium (22) and interacts with the fluorescent dyes contained therein. This light is partially absorbed by each of the fluorescent dyes of the intermediate light-transmitting medium, and a lower-energy light is then emitted from each of the fluorescent dyes and into the light-receiving surface (12) of the waveguide. Thus, selection of appropriate combinations of dyes results in various colors being emitted from the illumination device.

Title: Short message conversion between different formats for wireless communication systems
Inventor: QU HAI
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 2003-07-09
Abstract: Techniques for converting short messages between different formats (e.g., from GSM SMS to CDMA SMS) such that pertinent control information is retained without changing the fundamental structure of these message formats. A new value is defined for the Msg Encoding field in the User Data subparameter of the CDMA SMS message to indicate that the content of this message is an encapsulated GSM SMS message. The Message Type field in the User Data subparameter may be used to carry data coding scheme information for the encapsulated GSM SMS message. At a recipient mobile station, the value in the Msg Encoding field is checked to determine whether or not the CDMA SMS message includes an encapsulated GSM SMS message. If the answer is yes, then the user data in the CHARi fields of the CDMA SMS message is processed based on the data coding scheme information from the Message Type field.
