Title: Parking stop made from recycled tires
Inventor: BOVE RICK L
IPC: E01F13/02
Filed: 2001-09-18
Granted: 2003-04-15
Abstract: A process for manufacturing structures from worn out tires and a parking stop made by that process. Sidewalls are cut from the tire leaving a circular strip, which is cut transversely to produce an elongated approximately rectangular strip.  Spaced slits are cut into the long edges of the strips to form slats suitable for use in manufacturing structures. Two slats are bonded together in a face-to-face arrangement to form a unitary pair of bonded slats. Additional pairs of slats are then bonded to the first pair of slats. All slats are bonded with similar sides in contact; that is, tread side to tread side or inside to inside. The resulting beam can have adjacent corners removed to provide a parking stop configuration. Preferably, the slats are bonded with an elastomer or mechanical fasteners such as ring nails or staples. A thick elastomer, having a thickness of at least about 1/8 inch may be coated over the beam.  Beams may be combined to form guard rails, walls, panels, etc.

Abstract: An Electronic House Arrest Monitoring (EHAM) system of the present invention includes a transmitter attached to a monitored offender and a receiver positioned in the vicinity of the desired monitoring location. The transmitter and the receiver each have a pattern stored or generated therein for determining the interval of time between signal transmissions and receptions. The pattern is pseudo-random to offer improved protection against imposter transmitters, in other words the time intervals are selected to be unequal and randomly varying but the pattern is repeated or cycled to allow continuing signal transmission by the transmitter.  The transmitter transmits signals at varying time intervals according to this pattern, and the receiver authenticates signal it receives as coming from the monitored transmitter based on the expected time intervals from the pattern. The pattern may include any number of time intervals and, in one embodiment, includes more than one subpattern to extend the length of the repeat cycle to increase the difficulty of defeating the monitoring system. As further protection against imposter devices, the receiver may verify the signals based on information unique to the transmitter included in each signal. The receiver may further use the received signals and unique time interval patterns to determine a number of operating states, including New Transmitter ID Received, Transmitter In Range and Locked to transmitter, Transmitter In Range and Not Locked, Transmitter Out of Range, and Imposter Likely. The monitoring system may also include a remote host computer linked to the receiver or receivers to enable these operating states to be monitored remotely by enforcement personnel.

Abstract: In a blended inbound/outbound call center (100), an outbound call-pacing function (122) decides whether or not to initiate an additional outbound call for a particular skill. It determines (206) whether the number of available agents for the skill plus the number of resting agents for the skill exceeds the number of available inbound calls for the skill plus the number of outstanding outbound calls for the skill. It also determines (312) whether a target service time for the skill exceeds an estimated wait time of each of the available inbound calls for the skill assuming that pending outbound calls for the skill plus one take precedence over the inbound calls. If both determinations are affirmative, the call pacing function initiates (318) an additional call for the skill, If either determination is negative, the function forbears (321) from initiating an additional call for the skill. The number of available and resting agents may be incremented (206) by (a) a difference between the target service time for the skill and the present waiting time of the last-enqueued inbound call for the skill divided by the average rate of advance through the skill's call queue, or (b) the average amount of time that a newly-initiated outbound call for the skill takes to become available divided by the average rate of advance, plus the number of agents for the skill who are busy but expected to become available within a time period equal to (a) or (b), less the number of those agents that will receive a rest period upon becoming idle. The number of calls may be incremented (206) by the number of inbound calls that are expected to arrive within the time period (a) or (b).
