Abstract: Systems and methods for assigning a short codes to provide uniformity among wireless carriers. In the systems and methods, a Universal Short Code (USC) Administrator maintains a list of short codes and their lease status so that SMS messages sent to a particular short code may be routed to the proper holder of the short code. A network facilitator is in communication with both the USC Administrator and at least one wireless carrier to route the SMS message to the proper holder of the short code. The short code may be leased for a specified period of time so that the short code can be reassigned after expiration of the lease.

Abstract: A method of optimizing the timing offsets with which data frames are transmitted over the lur/lub interfaces of a UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, UTRAN. The method comprises, for a given lur/lub interface or set of lur/lub interfaces over which identical user plane data is to be sent, defining a duration of a data frame receiving window for use by the receiving node(s), transmitting data frames from a sending node with an initial timing offset sufficient to ensure a likelihood that the frames will be received at the or each receiving node within the defined receiving window, reducing the timing offset at the sending node in a stepwise manner, and adjusting the timing offset at the sending node in response to the receipt of late Time of Arrival error reports at the sending node. In a second embodiment, the frame synchronisation of frames corresponding to speech services and data services is carried out by delaying the frames corresponding to speech sservices a fixed delay and the frames corresponding to data services a variable delay based on a received time of arrival feedback.
Patent CA-2548886-C (CA)
Inventor: SMITH DAVID L
IPC: H05B1/02
Filed: 2006-05-30
Granted: 2010-11-02
Abstract: A circuit is disclosed for detecting and eliminating the buildup of snow and/or ice on the viewable face of an LED traffic signal lens. The circuit measures the ambient temperature within the LED signal, and when the temperature falls to a level where snow and/or ice accumulation can occur, the circuit begins looking for snow and/or ice buildup on the lens of the LED signal. An infrared LED transmits a signal which is reflected when snow or ice is present on the lens of the traffic signal. When the reflected signal is received by an infrared receiver, it sends a signal to a microcontroller, which analyzes the signal to determine if it is a valid signal. If it is, a heater is turned on until the ice and snow are removed.

Abstract: In an electronic endoscope, when an error judgment circuit judges a pixel has an error, it outputs an error judgment signal and temporarily acquires images of a synchronization memory F, a synchronization memory G, and a synchronization memory R in a memory. Simultaneously with this, the error judgment circuit controls an error position display circuit (52). The error position display circuit superimposes/displays a mark indicating the position where the error pixel exists on the image acquired temporarily in the memory and outputs still image data on the normal image stored in the temporary memory superimposed by the mark to a D/A conversion circuit, thereby causing a monitor to perform thumbnail display. Thus, it is possible to easily and surely identify an area which is suspected to be an abnormal tissue by an ordinary color endoscope image.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of lecithin or of an extract rich in lecithin for preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is useful in the prevention and therapeutic treatment of new or previous dermatites, particularly psoriasis. The invention also relates to therapeutic compositions containing lecithin or an extract rich in lecithin.
