Title: Methods and apparatus for reducing power consumption for mobile devices using broadcast-to-unicast message conversion
Inventor: SIVASITHAMBARESA ARJUNA
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 2007-04-27
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for use in reducing power consumption in battery-powered mobile communication devices in wireless local area networks (WLANs) are described.  In one illustrative example, a mobile device in a WLAN is configured to normally refrain from receiving broadcast messages so that it may remain in a low power mode of operation. A network server is configured to convert broadcast messages into unicast messages for receipt by the mobile device only if the message or protocol type of the broadcast message is one in which the mobile device needs to process. As the mobile device is still configured to receive unicast messages, it will receive and decode such a unicast message and process the broadcast information within it accordingly.  Advantageously, battery power is conserved at the mobile device.

Patent CA-2602207-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SIMARD JO-ANNE
IPC: A47J36/08
Filed: 2006-03-29
Abstract: A strainer mountable over the pouring aperture of a cooking vessel includes a straining plate having straining apertures extending therethrough. An attachment flange extends from the plate peripheral edge and defines a flange contacting surface for frictionally contacting the peripheral wall of the vessel so as to generate a frictional force therebetween. The straining plate is made out of a resiliently deformable material so as to allow the straining plate to be stretchable from an unstretched configuration to a stretched configuration. Upon the straining plate being stretched towards the plate stretched configuration, the resilient nature of the straining plate biases the straining plate towards the plate unstretched configuration for exerting a compressive force on the peripheral wall of the vessel and increasing the intensity of the frictional force.
