Abstract: Utility pole system having a battery storage housing defining a top portion, a bottom portion, and an interior volume with an access opening extending through the top portion; a pole with an upper end and a lower end attached to the top portion of the battery storage housing; and means for moving the pole from the first position where the lower end of the pole covers the access opening of the battery housing, and a second position where the lower end exposes the access opening. The utility pole system might also include electrical components powered by a battery provided in the battery storage housing, such battery charged by utility power.

Abstract: An automated teller machine (ATM) allows a user with accounts at both a first institution and a second institution to use an ATM of the first institution to physically place cash or a check into the ATM of the first institution for deposit into an account at the second institution. In some cases, a failed attempt message may indicate a funds transfer failed due to a network connectivity issue, an inactive payee account, or an expired payee account number. In case of a network connectivity issue, the funds transfer may be reinitiated. In case of an inactive payee account or expired payee account number, funds may be transferred to the first account instead of the second account. The ATM may display an indication of the failed attempt and a confirmation of a transfer to the first account.

Abstract: The display of a mobile device is managed during a voice communication session using a proximity sensor and an accelerometer. In one example, the display of a mobile device is turned off during a phone call on the mobile device when a proximity sensor detects an object is proximate the device and an accelerometer determines the device is in a first orientation.

Abstract: A system and method for serial communication between a USB host and a USB device. The USB device is a handheld microprocessor equipped device capable of functioning as a general purpose computer. The USB host places the USB device in an accessory mode which permits the USB host to transmit its configuration information to the USB device. This configuration information can include the manufacturer and product ID of the USB host. The USB device, in accessory mode, uses this configuration information to acquire and load application software (such as by downloading the software from the Internet). The application software enables the USB device to provide a programmable function to the USB host and to enable applications on the USB host and device to communicate on a peer-to-peer basis via the USB communications channel.

Abstract: A method for automated provision of build images is disclosed. The method includes identifying the network location of build scripts that provide information regarding the installation of installation files and copying the build scripts from the location on the network to a memory, e.g., a disk drive of a target computer system. In addition, the method includes copying installation files that correspond to the build scripts to the drive of the target machine. The installation files are subsequently installed on the target machine to create the build image.

Abstract: System (10) is disclosed including an acoustic sensor array (20) coupled to processor (42). System (10) processes inputs from array (20) to extract a desired acoustic signal through the suppression of interfering signals. The extraction/suppression is performed by modifying the array (20) inputs in the frequency domain with weights selected to minimize variance of the resulting output signal while maintaining unity gain of signals received in the direction of the desired acoustic signal. System (10) may be utilized in hearing, cochlear implants, speech recognition, voice input devices, surveillance devices, hands-free telephony devices, remote telepresence or teleconferencing, wireless acoustic sensor arrays, and other applications.
