Title: Fishing reel with a 180 degree rotating spool
Inventor: KENDRA MARK FRANCES
IPC: A01K89/027
Filed: 2012-09-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a fishing reel that allows the caster to cast from either side of the spool or an in-line position. Starting from a spool position with the line on the spool in the same direction as the retrieve referred to as the in-line position, the line can be cast from this position, or the spool can be rotated 90 degrees in either direction from the in-line position for the cast. After the spool is rotated, the cast is discharged from the side of the spool in a direction perpendicular to the line on the spool. After the cast, the spool is returned to the starting position of the in-line position, with the line on the spool in the same direction as the retrieve. The line is then retrieved by turning a handle connected to a series of gears that engage the spool and thereby reel in the line.

Title: Mobility parameter adjustment and mobility state estimation in heterogeneous networks
Inventor: SONG YI
IPC: H04W36/24
Filed: 2013-03-11
Abstract: Systems and methods for mobility parameter adjustment and mobility state estimation in heterogeneous networks are provided. The mobility parameters may be adjusted based on the cell change types associated with the mobility procedure. The mobility procedure may be a cell handover procedure or a cell reselection procedure. The cell change type may be dependent on the transmission power level of the UE's serving cell and neighboring cells. In some implementations, the UE may provide a speed information to the serving cell such that the serving eNB may prioritize or optimize the mobility procedure for the UE. The UE may also estimate its mobility state by counting the number of cell changes within certain period of time and applying scaling factors to the number of cell changes based on the associated cell change types.

Abstract: The subject invention provides advantageous systems and processes for anaerobic digestion of organic waste streams, particularly agricultural waste streams. According to this invention, a new process is provided in which a liquid fraction from an organic waste stream comprising soluble compounds is segregated and incubated in a reactor separate from the solids fraction of the organic waste stream. Digestion of waste in both reactors occurs substantially simultaneously and both reactors produce biogas (thus both reactors function essentially like single stage reactors but allow for continuous or intermittent loading). According to one aspect of the invention, at least one cross-flow baffle is provided for use in an anaerobic digester to collect biogas and break up clumped solids in the reactor. In another aspect of the invention, packing media for use in an anaerobic digester is provided.
