Title: Stackable pedestal for supporting decking elements
Inventor: REPASKY JOHN
IPC: F16M11/22
Filed: 2007-11-09
Abstract: A pedestal is provided that is matingly engagable with a like companion pedestal in vertically stacked relation to support corner portions of pavers, tiles, or like decking elements in edgewise juxtaposition above an underlying surface. The pedestal has a base, plate, or body, having a plurality of corner support portions and a topside and bottom side that define a predetermined thickness, or height, of the base, plate, or body. An abutment, such as an upstanding wall, flange, post, or the like, projects upwardly from the topside a predetermined distance, or height, that is greater than or equal to the predetermined thickness of the base, plate, or body. An aperture, such as a slot or the like, extends transversely through the base, plate, or body and is offset from the abutment. Accordingly, a like abutment of a companion pedestal can extend through the aperture of an upper stacked pedestal thereby permitting the pedestals to be stacked together in a stable manner.

Abstract: Mon invention consiste en un manche d'instrument à corde tel que guitare, violon, violoncelle, contre basse, etc. qui se plie pour le rangement et le transport. Cette amélioration permet de raccourcir la longueur de l'instrument de moitié. De plus, en rapetissant la caisse de résonance, l'instrument est plus étroit. Une partie démontable peut être incorporé à l'instrument pour en jouer plus confortablement si requis. L'invention comporte plusieurs innovations : Le manche est en bois plein d'un sillet à l'autre, ce qui en améliore la sonorité. La rosace n'est plus au milieu de la caisse mais sur le côté. Les clés sont plus légères et plus petites en raison de la suppression des manettes par une seule qui sert pour toutes les clés. Cette innovation allège l'instrument et le rend encore plus compact. Je crois que cette invention sera très utile en de maintes occasions.

Abstract: Facilitating user terminal (UT) access to wireless networks having base stations (BSs) of disparate access types is described herein. In some aspects, BS parameterization is provided to facilitate search and/or access to distinct types of network BSs.  For instance, parameters can modify a likelihood of identifying or remaining coupled to restricted access (RA) BSs in a home Node B (HNB) deployment.  In other aspects of the subject disclosure, a PLMN  ID reserved for HNBs is provided comprising multiple region IDs. Where a UT identifies a home region, HNBs can be given preference over macro BSs. Additionally, the UT can keep track of HNBs and HNB regions that reject access to the UT, and implement a delay time to mitigate rapid signaling to foreign HNBs in a dense HNB deployment.  Accordingly, the subject disclosure provides for more efficient UT access in heterogeneous access type networks.
