Inventor: MCGEE DAVID
IPC: A01K29/00
Filed: 2007-03-14
Abstract: This invention provides an improved way in which dog feases can be picked up from outside areas and be exposed. The apparatus consists of a light and well balanced walking cane or stick with a cup attached at the lower end of the cane. Inside the cup is an auger that is turned by a battery driven two-way motor. The handle of the cane holds the batteries which drive the motor and the switch starts the motor in forward or reverse drive. The user can easily, while walking his/her dog remove dog droppings from public and/or private areas, while disposing them quickly and conveniently. The cane or stick is designed to auger up, hold, and then deposit dog droppings with little effort and help keep yards, parks and walkways clean.

Title: Methods and apparatus for adjusting band width allocation in a wireless communications system
Inventor: PARIZHSKY VLADIMIR
IPC: H04L5/04
Filed: 2005-10-12
Abstract: More efficient utilization of available bandwidth is implemented in an OFDM  wireless communication system. The partitions of bandwidth may be of different sizes and may be different from the original system design parameters. Basic system structure such as the number of tones used and the number of OFDM  symbol times in a slot is maintained throughout the system. Bandwidth is varied by adjusting the inter-tone spacing or bandwidth associated with a single tone. As the inter-tone spacing is increased, the OFDM symbol transmission time is decreased following an inverse proportional relationship.  A first base station transmitter transmits signals on a first number of tones distributed uniformly in a first frequency band (1202), and a second base station transmitter transmits signals on a second number of tones distributed uniformly in a second frequency band which is wider than the first frequency band, the second number of tones being the same as the first number of tones (1204). The first and second base stations support handoffs of mobile nodes between to each other (1216).
