Title: Method of using sub-rate slots in an ultrawide bandwidth system
Inventor: SHVODIAN WILLIAM M
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-03-11
Abstract: A method is provided to pass information in a wireless network (300). The available channel time in the network is first divided into a plurality of sequential superframes. Some devices (320) may need to transmit during every superframe, but others will only need to transmit during a fraction of the superframes. These devices (320) are assigned sub-rate time slots in the superframes at sub-rates that must be a power of two. In other words, they c an only be assigned sub-rate rime slots every second superframe, every fourth superframe, every eighth superframe, etc. This allows the sub-rate time slot s to be spread more evenly throughout the plurality of sequential superframes, and minimizes the amount of overlap possible.

Title: Hog farrowing system for use in a cold environment and method of use
Inventor: BRYANT ROBERT E
IPC: A01K1/02
Filed: 2005-04-21
Abstract: A hog farrowing system for use in a cold environment includes a building providing protection from weather elements. The furrowing boxes have an entrance to permit free ingress and egress of female hogs but restrain the piglets. An alley is provided outside the boxes for the female hogs to defecate, urinate, and move to feed and water stations outside the boxes. The boxes have sides which define an inner chamber, a heat system, bedding for the female hogs to nest, and insulation covering an open top during cold environment conditions. The method utilizes the steps of promoting the female hog to utilize natural instincts, promoting the female hog to give birth to piglets close to the heat source, and protecting the piglets from crushing by using a creep area, anti-crush rods and anti-crush boards. The furrowing boxes can be modified for use in a warm season.
