  • Patent number: 8203942
    Abstract: A communications resource management system. The system includes a first module for prioritizing incoming messages and a second module for steering the messages in response to the prioritization by the first module. The first module assigns a message priority to each message based on a plurality of parameters such as mission mode, message type, and timeliness factor. The second module selects the most optimal communications resource for the message with the highest message priority by assigning a transmitter priority to each communications resource based on a plurality of factors such as estimated message arrival time, availability, and waveform compatibility. The message with the highest message priority is steered to the communications resource with the highest transmitter priority at the moment the message is sent. The first and second modules are each implemented using decision tree logic.

  • Patent number: 6287239
    Abstract: This invention is a method of exercise consisting of a spinning cycle having a flywheel and a display screen wherein a receptacle receives and runs a cartridge. The exerciser uses headphones to listen to both music and exercise directions while looking at a display screen wherein several messages are display, such as body position legend for the exerciser, a body position icon indicating the exerciser's preferred posture, music credits, cover notes, a posture reminder, and an exercise title.
