Abstract: A cross may be provided for releasing one or more birds at a ceremonial event. The cross may include one or more cages or areas for receiving the one or more birds. The cages or areas may be openable so that the one or more birds may be released in sequence, simultaneously, or in a predetermined order. The cages or areas may be opened manually to release the one or more birds; however, the cages or areas may be mechanically and/or electrically configured so that a remote control or mobile application may be used to control the release.

Abstract: A communication method and system for providing two-way radio communication links between fixed stations and mobile units, particularly suitable for use in mobile telephone communications. A geographical service area is sectionalized through the use of omnidirectional and directional antennas resulting in increased call capacity for a given number of available communication channels. An orderly, cost-effective manner for accommodating service area expansion, a dynamic channel assignment technique for accommodating variations in user density and a technique for maintaining an established call as a mobile unit moves throughout the sectionalized service area are also disclosed.
