IPC: H04W36/30
Filed: 1998-10-27
Abstract: A communication system provides wireless communication in a coverage area and includes a base station (100) and a mobile station (290). The base station (100) has a plurality of sectors (210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260) where a corresponding plurality of pilot signals (212, 222, 232, 242, 252, 262) are transmitted. A sector (210) transmits a forward link signal (211) for communicating to the mobile station (290). The mobile station (290) transmits a reverse link signal (215) and a message signal including a list of a plurality of candidate sectors for a soft hand-off routine. A method and apparatus of determining the candidate list includes measuring reverse link signal (215) which are received at said plurality of sectors. Then, comparing reverse link signal level received at sector (210) to the reverse link signal levels received at all other sectors of said plurality of sectors (210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260). Finally, the candidate list is determined according to a result of comparing the reverse link signal levels.

Abstract: A system, program, and method which makes segment migration, the movement of individuals between segments over time, easily trackable, and provides a visualization that makes the results of the analyses useful. The preferred embodiment tracks which people are in which segment at each time period, then builds a file that gives, by person, a description of which segment(s) each person belonged to during each time period. From this table, a display is drawn which indicates in an intuitive manner the migration of members of different segments over time. These enhanced segmentation analyses allow the user to easily study and predict customer behaviors.

Title: System and method for managing web page components
Inventor: WARRINGTON SIMON P
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2000-10-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus facilitate the creation and maintenance of web pages which include reusable, upgradeable components. The apparatus provides a simple client object which can identify and contain properties for reusable components from a library.  The client object does not itself need to be upgraded when components are upgraded and therefore it is not necessary to re-specify all of the properties for a component when a component is upgraded. An upgrade tool reads the properties of instances of the client object which is present in the source for a web publishing software, identifies an upgraded version of a component identified by the client object, reads the properties specified for the component by the client object and reconfigures the instance of the client object to identify the upgraded component and to specify corresponding properties for the upgraded component. Use of the invention facilitates rapid upgrading of web pages.

Patent CA-2324436-A1 (CA)
Title: Fast response sprinkler head and fire extinguishing system
Inventor: DORNBOS DELWIN G
IPC: A62C37/12
Filed: 2000-10-26
Abstract: A fast response, upright sprinkler head includes a body having a central orifice through which fire extinguishing fluid is expelled through an outlet end. A  yoke, attached to the exterior surface of the sprinkler body, extends beyond the outlet end of the sprinkler body and is connected at its apex to a deflector. A fusible trigger assembly is coupled to the yoke and the outlet end of the sprinkler head. The deflector is formed with a planar member having a skirt depending therefrom and an annular ledge extending horizontally from the skirt. The skirt depends from the planar member in an outward direction at a pre-selected angle from the vertical, and is formed with a plurality of through-holes. The fast response upright sprinkler head is configured to have a K value of at least 13.5, while the fusible trigger assembly has a fusing temperature between approximately 155° F and 175° F to thereby provide a fast response sprinkler head capable of expelling a sufficient density of water during the early stages of fire development. The angle of the skirt, as well as the through holes formed therein, alter the trajectory of the water to thereby provide a hemispheric pattern of large water droplets capable of penetrating the fire plume and reaching the fire source in order to suppress or extinguish the same. In another aspect of the invention, the fast response upright sprinkler head is used in a fire extinguishing system and method wherein the upright sprinkler head is placed in proximity to a horizontal obstruction depending from, or otherwise supported, a preselected distance from the ceiling of an enclosure. The upright sprinkler system of the present invention develops an effective spray distribution pattern about the obstruction to thereby suppress a fire positioned directly below, or approximately below, the obstruction.

Abstract: A vertical Hall sensor (80) comprising a semiconductor crystal (1) with three or more arm sections (9, 29, 49) that are arranged at a uniform angle distance to each other. A central electrode (2) and external current electrodes are arranged on the surface (61) of the sensor and Hall voltage contacts (4,24,44) are arranged therebetween.
