IPC: H04W28/18
Filed: 2001-03-13
Abstract: Two-way resource reservation techniques for use in UMTS and other telecommunication systems. A determination is made as to whether a user requires resource reservations in both an uplink direction and a downlink direction within the system, and if the user requires such two-way resource reservations, a two-way protocol is implemented to establish the required resource reservations. The two-way protocol integrates resource negotiation procedures for both the uplink direction and the downlink direction so as to ensure that the required resource reservations are provided for both directions. The two-way protocol may be a Packet Data Protocol (PDP) based on a Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) resource negotiation procedure. The determination may be based on one or more flag bits which identify whether the user requires resource reservations for both the uplink and downlink directions. The flag bits may be associated with a Quality of Service (QoS) Information Element (IE) of the system, and may be used to permit the user to select between application of the two-way protocol and application of a one-way protocol.

IPC: G06F3/0481
Filed: 2001-05-07
Abstract: A method, system, and program is provided for displaying icons on a data processing system. The number of icons to be displayed on the computer screen is determined. Th e boundary area for displaying the icons on the computer screen is calculated. The sizes of the icons are then scaled to a size that allows all icons to be displayed in the boundary area while utilizing all available display space. The minimum and maximum sizes of the icons can be limited based on us er preferences. If the icons cannot be scaled to fit within the boundary area using the user selected minimum size, then only a portion of the icon is displayed. In this manner, all icons are scale d and displayed at a size that utilizes the full boundary area of the display screen.

Abstract: A hinged vent chute, for providing ventilation to an open attic space, includes an elongated chute segment and an insulation dam segment. The elongated chute segment has one or more upwardly open channels, extending from a lower end to an upper end of the chute segment, that provide an air passage from a soffit region of a roof, over an interior surface of the roof, up into an open attic space beneath the roof. The hinged vent chute has a hinge or fold line joining the elongated chute segment to the insulation dam segment which permits the vent chute to be folded downward at the hinge to position the insulation dam segment for securement to form an insulation dam which prevents loose fill insulation in an attic from flowing down into a soffit region of a roof and blocking air flow. The insulation dam segment may also have one or more hinge or fold lines intermediate the ends of the insulation dam segment to permit the insulation dam segment to be folded intermediate its ends when positioning the insulation dam segment for securement to form the insulation dam.

IPC: C02F1/463
Filed: 2002-01-22
Abstract: An electrocoagulation treatment device includes a plurality of spaced reaction plates disposed within a reaction chamber. A voltage is applied to selected reaction plates to create an electrical field within the electrocoagulation chamber. The plates are arranged vertically which induces a vertical flow of liquid through a device. Gases formed in the electrocoagulation process are allowed to rise and can be vented to the atmosphere. The solids which precipitate out of the liquid stream are carried by the liquid stream to secondary separation. The device includes various embodiments adapted for use as a large industrial unit, a portable unit or for use within the home. The device may be operated in a pressure controlled environment, thus eliminating the need for a pump. The voltage and amperage of the electrical field chamber may be adjusted by placing selected reaction plates in electrical contact with the voltage source.
