Title: System and method for transmitting call information in a communication system with long link delays
Inventor: MCDONALD DANIEL J
IPC: H04W4/06
Filed: 2008-02-25
Abstract: A system and method for transmitting call information in a communication system having sites with long link delays. Upon a call being initiated within the communication system, a zone controller determines the participating sites that are to be involved in the call and assigns an IP multicast group address for the call. The zone controller also determines whether any of the participating sites have a long link delay. If any of the participating sites do have a long link delay, the zone controller also assigns an IP unicast address for each such site. The call information is then transmitted both on the IP multicast address as well as on each assigned IP unicast address to ensure that the call is received by each participating site without the loss of call information.

Title: Quck brick
Inventor: BENOIT RICHARD
IPC: E04C1/00
Filed: 2009-12-04
Abstract: This invention provides a new way of recycling Styrofoam at the same time reducing the time to build a foundation or other projects. Super green bricks are pre-insulated cement form building product in the shape of 12 bricks.  The cement is poured in the mold, 2 1/2 inches of Styrofoam is followed by another layer of cement. Once the bricks are filled and dry they now can be put together by building two walls 8 inches apart using brick ties to connect the two walls together 1/2 of cement is used to glue the bricks together.  After the cement as cured it is ready to be filled with concrete. You now have a finished foundation with brick or stone look and 5 inches of Styrofoam as insulation. Brick ties are put in during the molding process for an existing wall application; the thickness of Styrofoam in the bricks can differ on different climates. It is also makes a thicker foundation by 17% on standard 8 inch thick foundation, making it less liable to cracks and earthquake resistant by 17% also. The main ideal is to stop building houses that end up in the landfills. But contrary to this procedure I want to take houses and recycle them on site as to diminish the refuse in the landfill.

IPC: H04L7/00
Filed: 2008-07-31
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are presented for the joint synchronization of legacy signals with overlay modulation signals in a communications system utilizing a hierarchical modulation scheme. A  synchronization signal can be sent in each of the legacy and overlay bit streams, each using a different approach to frame synchronization, and the two synchronization signals can be used in a complementary manner to synchronize both bit streams. A legacy physical frame and an overlay physical frame can be aligned in time. A key synchronization signal in a legacy bit stream can be time distributed throughout a legacy transmission frame and can be utilized to assist in both the synchronization of such legacy bit stream and of an overlay bit stream. A key synchronization signal in an overlay bit stream can be sent in one fixed physical frame of an overlay transmission frame.
