Title: Programmatically transferring applications between handsets based on license information
Inventor: JOTHIPRAGASAM PREMKUMAR
IPC: G06F21/60
Filed: 2007-12-19
Abstract: Transfer management of licensed applications from an original user equipment (UE) device to a destination UE device is facilitated by a communication network that tracks the inventory of software application that has been previously licensed, and suggests a suite of applications equivalent to, an upgraded version of, or an appropriate cross sell opportunity for a configuration (e.g., chipset and operating system) of a destination UE device (e.g., cellular telephone able to run applications such as games, media players, and personal organizers, etc.) Business rules automate pricing appropriate for the proposed configuration to automate and increase the convenience for both the user and provider. Once accepted, the appropriate executable code is distributed to the destination UE device, appropriate pro-rated billing is initiated, and the prior licensed applications either locked for subsequent transfer back, or deleted to effect a permanent transfer.

Title: Method and apparatus for extracting information from a database
Inventor: WOLGE HAKAN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2009-07-10
Abstract: Information is extracted from a database using a computer-implemented method that involves a sequential chain of main calculations, in which a first main calculation (P 1) operates a first selection item (S1) on a data set (R0) that represents the database to produce a first result (R1), and a second main calculation (P2) operates a second selection item (S2) on the first result (R1) to produce a second result (R2). The first and second results (R1, R2) are cached in computer memory (10) for re-use in subsequent iterations of the method, thereby reducing the need to execute the first and/or second main calculations (P1, P2) for extracting the information. The caching involves calculating a first selection identifier value (ID1) as a function of at least the first selection item (S1), and a second selection identifier value (ID3) as a function of at least the second selection item (S2) and the first result (R1), and storing the first selection identifier value (ID1) and the first result (R1), and the second selection identifier value (ID3) and the second result (R2), respectively, as associated objects in a data structure (12). Each of the identifier values are generated as a statistically unique digital fingerprint by a hash function (f). The re-use involves calculating the first and second selection identifier values (ID1, ID3) during a subsequent iteration and accessing the data structure (12) to potentially retrieve the first and/or second result (R1, R2).

Inventor: PREVEY PAUL S III
IPC: B21C23/00
Filed: 2007-02-23
Abstract: A method and surface treatment apparatus for preventing or arresting the development and propagation of cracks in the material surrounding a fastener. The method includes introducing compressive residual stresses in the material surrounding the fastener. The compressive residual stresses offset the high residual tensile and applied stresses which the material may be subjected to in operation and thereby prevent or arrest the development of cracks. The surface treatment apparatus comprises a compression tool, positioning device and at least one sensor for determining the location of a fastener on the surface being treated. Using the output of the sensor, the surface treatment apparatus is positioned relative to a fastener. The compression tool is impinged against the surface of the material adjacent to the fastener and rotated around the perimeter of the fastener thereby inducing a zone of compressive residual stress.

Abstract: A communications system and protocol are described for wirelessly interconnecting a pair of bed and wall units that communicate the patient information, including bed exit alerts, from the patient supporting equipment to the hospital nurse call system. A linking procedure is provided for establishing a communications link to interconnect the pair of units, wherein the communications link fails upon detection of a third communications device simultaneously undergoing the link attempt mode. In one embodiment, the system provides for advanced collision detection by monitoring corruption of the end-of-packet byte within the periodic check- in message sequences between the linked units to prevent data corruption and future collisions. To ensure prompt interconnection of units, embodiments of the invention provide for a link reminder to alert the health care provider to initiate the steps for linking the bed and wall units whenever two or more unlinked units are in proximity.

Abstract: A system and method for regulating cooperatively the pressures and flows of input vessels such as both the portal vein and hepatic artery for the liver. This invention solves problems of less-than-therapeutic portal vein flow during perfusion preservation by implementing cooperative regulation between the inputs, e.g., portal vein and hepatic artery pumping systems, on an organ preservation apparatus. It includes an algorithm that adapts to the situation wherein the portal vein has reached minimum flow and maximum pressure. The cooperative regulation algorithm senses the problem with the portal vein and solves it by adjusting the hepatic artery flow conditions.

Title: Ingress noise inhibiting network interface device and method for cable television networks
Inventor: KELLOGG MATTHEW
IPC: H04L12/66
Filed: 2009-10-08
Abstract: Ingress noise from subscriber equipment is mitigated or prevented from reaching a cable television (CATV) network. All upstream signals including ingress noise are initially transmitted to the CATV network whenever their instantaneous power exceeds a threshold which typically distinguishes ingress noise from a valid upstream signal. Whenever the instantaneous power is below the threshold, ingress noise is blocked from reaching the CATV network. A gas tube surge protection device is included to resist component destruction and malfunction arising from lightning strikes and other high voltage, high current surges.

Inventor: HESSE BODO
IPC: B21B1/22
Filed: 2008-06-20
Abstract: The invention allows the planned provision of a flat metal product with such a finely-dimensioned, stochastic or quasi-stochastic surface structure that said structure can then be visually perceived only slightly, if at all, following a application of a surface coating typical in the case of automobiles. In the case of a surface topography provided according to the invention, the transition between the plateaus and the valleys takes place simultaneously by means of steep flanks. The result of this is that the morphology of the thin sheet surface is virtually independent of the actual depth of the valleys. As a result, the morphology of the thin sheet surface of a flat metal product according to the invention is therefore also independent of the degree of dressing which is applied by a dressing roller during the production of the thin sheet texture.
