  • Patent number: 8571946
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to techniques for creating an export file comprised of product codes retrieved from a Vendor Website. A search of the Vendor Website is conducted based on a keyword list created by a registered affiliate and product codes are acquired including graphic data and descriptive text for products obtained in the search. A unique identification code is inserted into the product codes, which are stored in a products database and displayed along with manually activatable editing buttons which allow the registered affiliate to edit the products database. The edited products database forms the export file to be used in creating and/or updating an affiliate website.

  • Publication number: 20120255737
    Abstract: Provided are apparatus, systems, and methods for generating a non-plugging hydrate slurry. The apparatus, systems, and methods for generating a hydrate slurry are useful for transport and/or production of wellstream hydrocarbons in subsea and arctic environments. The present invention provides methods of seeded or unseeded methods of making dry hydrates. Dry hydrates are made with or without the aid of chemicals and, preferably, with minimum use of rotating or other energized equipment.

  • Patent number: 8190491
    Abstract: In a method of affiliating content, a selection of at least one vendor and a unique affiliate tracking number associated with the at least one vendor are received, and a search routine associated with the at least one vendor is automatically selected. A network connection is established to a web site associated with the at least one vendor. Content from the web site of the at least one vendor is automatically retrieved using at least one keyword, the retrieved content including at least one product information that includes a unique product code associated with each product information. The unique affiliate tracking number is automatically inserted into the unique product code associated with each retrieved product information. A unique affiliated product code is generated for each retrieved product information.

  • Patent number: 7787531
    Abstract: In a fixed wireless access (FWA) communications system comprising an Access Point (501) and a plurality of Subscriber Units (502-1, 502-2 502-N) each Subscriber Unit transmits a concentration word when it wishes to obtain access to transmit data. Each Subscriber Unit (502) includes a linear precoder (517) which predistorts the contention word to compensate for the impulse response of the transmission channel between it and Access Point (501). The precoder (517) is optimized specifically for the contention word to be transmitted instead of for general data.

  • Patent number: 7519129
    Abstract: A fixed wireless access communications system comprises an access point and a plurality of subscriber units. Each subscriber unit (502) contends for access to a communications channel to the access point by transmitting a contention word to the access point during a contention time slot. The contention word is predistorted to compensate for the channel impulse response of the transmission channel so that the access point can decode the contention words without using equalisation. A control unit (512), which may comprise a microprocessor, loads the predistorted contention word (a) into a memory (520) and causes the stored predistorted contention word (a) to be applied to a transmitter (508) during a contention time slot when the subscriber unit (502) wishes to request a transmission channel to transmit data to the access point.

  • Publication number: 20070033551
    Abstract: Integrated circuit design often involves combination of blocks of circuit from different sources to create new designs. However, a simulation of a block developed using a given method may not be compatible with another simulation created using another method. A method for modifying hardware simulation having one internal timing regime to enable interoperation with another simulation having a different internal timing regime is described. In particular, it involves modification of models in a domain in which variables are used so that they are interoperable with models in a domain using signals.

  • Patent number: 6990062
    Abstract: A DMT/OFDM transceiver wherein communication occurs between stations in the form of symbols distributed and transmitted in channels which are allocated when making a link between the stations, each channel supporting a number of bits depending on the spectral response of the link when established. Instead of providing separate modules for performing iFFT's and FFT's, the transceiver has only a single FFT, or iFFT which operates on real and imaginary parts of the data stream; the outputs of the FFT or iFFT being supplied to a post processing stage where simultaneous equations having real and imaginary terms for the transmit and receive data, are solved in order to separate the transmit and receive data.
