Title: Retractable shower expander assembly
Inventor: BATHURST DAVID
IPC: A47K3/38
Filed: 2005-09-22
Abstract: A retractable shower expander assembly for a shower stall or tub enclosure having an access opening includes a shower expander rod, two expander ports and a tension rod. The shower expander rod is formed with right angles on each end and is selectively adjustable in the middle to fit various access opening widths. The retractable shower expander assembly, being portable, is held in place by means of an adjustable tension rod, that, when enjoined inside the cavities of the two expander ports, holds the retractable shower expander assembly horizontally and fixedly in use against the two end walls of a shower stall or tub enclosure at the top of the access opening. A  shower curtain is attached to the shower expander rod by hooks or rings that can slide along the shower expander rod to selectively close or open the access opening of a shower stall or tub enclosure. When outwardly force is applied to the shower expander rod the two right-angle ends extend or telescope through the apertures in the center of the expander ports and move the shower expander rod with the attached shower curtain outwardly away from the access opening to provide the maximum amount of increased area inside the shower stall or tub enclosure. When inwardly force is applied to the shower expander rod the opposite retracting or telescoping effect moves the shower curtain toward the access opening and returns it to a straight hanging position within the shower stall or tub enclosure access opening to be more aesthetically pleasing and conserve space in the bathroom.

IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2005-12-07
Abstract: A system permits client integration of two applications using complex integration points providing bidirectional transfer of contextual information enabling application integration. A system minimizes a need for application specific coding to support executable application interoperability by incorporating a mediation function enabling user configurable interception and substitution of commands, context information and data exchanged between different applications. A system supporting concurrent operation of multiple different executable applications includes a source of command configuration data for use in identifying, a command type, a location of context data in a command of a particular type and a destination executable application for receiving a command of a particular type. A mediation processor receives a first command from a first executable application and uses the configuration data in, identifying a command type of the first command, locating context data in the first command and formatting a second command to include the located context data to be compatible with a destination executable application.

Title: System and method for generating and verifying animal data
Inventor: ELLSWORTH DANIEL
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 2006-02-20
Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for generating animal data and providing certificates on the basis of such data in a network environment. Multiple contributors employ a data upload tool to upload seed data to be placed into a set of target fields of a database to initiate an individualized set for the animal in a network environment. Additionally, an animal husbandry process for the animal is inputted into the database to be added to the individualized data set initiated for the animal such that the individualized data set for the animal is generated in the network environment. The generated individualized data set for the animal is then displayed for verification. The displayed individualized data set is thereafter verified by a contributor independent of the animal ownership. Finally, a certificate that comprises the verified individualized data set and a signature field is issued such that, if signed, the certificate provides the assurance of the verification of the individualized data for the animal.

Title: Advanced, adaptive video multiplexer system
Inventor: TOM ADAM
IPC: H04H60/31
Filed: 2004-08-27
Abstract: An advanced multiplexer designed and optimized for next generation on-demand video distribution is described. Features and capabilities include auto-discovery, channel-staggering and compatibility with static Virtual Channel Tables (VCTs). The multiplexer system facilitates auto-discovery by inserting identifiers into MPTSs (Multi-Program Transport Streams). These identifiers are echoed back to the multiplexer by the client set-top (570~x~) thereby indicating correspondence between modulators (552), service groups, and clients (570~x~). When modulating multiple channels, FEC frames (Forward Error Correction frames) are staggered across channels to reduce correlation and clipping in the IFFT processor (770).

Title: Satellite modem with a dynamic bandwidth
Inventor: BATANI NAIM
IPC: H04B7/212
Filed: 2004-04-16
Abstract: The present invention provides for a method that could be advantageously implemented in a satellite local area network (LAN) in which an average number of sites share a TDMA link. The invention provides for both a dedicated bandwidth to all the sites and a shared bandwidth that is dynamically assigned to the sites, therefore allowing for both synchronous traffic and for on request burst mode traffic. The method includes a reservation method of this shared bandwidth which is specially optimized for a satellite link. The method provides also for a network that automatically managed its communication bandwidth resources and the synchronization of the sites, without the need of an external controller. The present invention also provides for a satellite modem to transmit data from a site, to receive data from the sites and to manage the bandwidth resources of the TDMA satellite in accordance with the above method.
