IPC: A01M23/00
Filed: 2003-03-26
Abstract: A reporting system for collecting, communicating and analyzing information from a plurality of best monitoring locations is disclosed. The monitored locations include activity sensing pest devices (11). These devices can include traps and/or passive and active monitoring devices not having a trapping or killing functionality. While traps may constitute the majority o f activity sensing pest devices in a given pest control program, devices which only monitor pest activity may be preferred in some locations and applications. The system includes automatic reporting from the plurality of activity sensing pest devices and also includes physical inspection data. Preferably an automatic real-time communication system is used, with the preferred communication system being a radio-frequency (RF) or other over-th e- air system (22). However, hardwired systems (21), use of a personal digital assistant (PDA) (21) as an interim data carrier, and other technologies may also be employed. Manual input means (13) for providing the additional physical inspection data on the activity sensing pest device parameters and a computer based report generation means (of the resulting combined data) provide for a robust and efficient pest monitoring and/or trapping tool.</SD OAB>

IPC: A62C35/68
Filed: 2004-12-24
Abstract: The technical field concerns an Aircraft Computer Screen that activates and display smoke expulsion situations in a computerized and automatic way. An Amalgamated computer and sensor codes table, working in conjunction with the control panel, will then pinpoints the source of fire to an accuracy of 96 to 1. The expulsion process is done by a pair of Smoke Hole mechanisms (prior art) working in 10-second open and close fluctuations until the fire crisis is over. The entire operation is seen executed and recorded on the Aircraft Computer Screen. Decisional situations such as counter-terrorist gas release are the control of the pilot.

Title: Method and apparatus for determining signal-to-interference ratio with reduced bias effect
Inventor: ZEIRA ARIELA
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2003-11-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) estimation in wireless communications, using a demodulator (505) output, suc h as a Rake output or a multi-user detection (MUD) receiver output. The demodulator (505) output is fed into a SIR estimator (400) to perform the SI R estimation based on estimated average signal power (610) and estimated avera ge effective interference power (615). The estimated average signal power (615) is based on a minimum value function used for determining a minimum value between a median based average power value and a mean based average power value. The SIR estimator (400) reduces bias effects on SIR estimation, and i s applicable to BPSK and QPSK modulation schemes, as well as higher order modulation schemes such as 8-PSK and 16-QAM. A correction term is used as a function of the mean and median values to further mitigate the bias effect.< /SDOAB>

Title: Time-multiplexed multi-program encryption system
Inventor: KRAUSE EDWARD A
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2004-04-21
Abstract: A system and method are described for greatly increasing the number of services that can be encrypted with existing conditional access equipment (130). The method is most useful when many digitally compressed programs are encrypted at the same time. Only the most critical components of each compressed video, audio, or data stream are selected and then sequenced into a single stream (215). Additional formatting causes this sequence of segments from multiple sources to appear as a single continuous stream to the conditional access system (130). Once this sequenced into their respective programs. Messages such as the Entitlement Control Messages that are inserted into the stream by the encryption system (120), are also adjusted and included with each of the reconstructed programs. The technique not only allows encryption systems to be designed using less encryption hardware, but also simplifies the management of encryption sessions, particularly in on-demand programming applications.
