Abstract: A novel system and method for a network overlay geolocation system operating in a host wireless communication system with repeaters is disclosed. Embodiments of the novel system and method enable wireless communication system to determine if signals being received by system receivers arrive directly from a target mobile appliance or if the signals are passing through a repeater. The system's determination may be based at least in part on the TA of the signal, the power of the received signal, the power of the transmitted signal, the hearability of the signal at system receivers, the hearability of system transmitters at the mobile and the known delays associated with the repeaters. Embodiments of the novel system and method provide a more accurate geolocation of mobiles served by repeater stations than capable in the prior art.

Abstract: A system and method for a network analysis system operating in a wireless communication system with repeaters is disclosed. Embodiments of the system and method enable the network analysis system to determine if signals being received by the network receivers arrive directly from a target mobile appliance or if the signals are passing through a repeater. The repeaters, through an augmentation, measure attributes of a received signal and based on these attributes the system determine whether the signal is served by a repeater or other network device.

Abstract: A novel system and method for a network overlay geolocation system operating in a host wireless communication system with repeaters is disclosed. Embodiments of the novel system and method enable the geolocation system to determine if signals being received by the geolocation system arrive directly from a target mobile appliance or if the signals are passing through a repeater and therefore are subject to a known time delay. Embodiments of the novel system and method provide a more accurate geolocation of mobiles served by repeater stations than capable in the prior art.

Abstract: A novel system and method for a network overlay geolocation system operating in a host wireless communication system with repeaters (350a, 350b) is disclosed. Embodiments of the novel system and method enable the geolocation system to determine if signals being received by the geolocation system arrive directly from a target mobile appliance or if the signals are passing through a repeater (350a, 350b) and therefore are subject to a known time delay.

Abstract: A novel system and method for tasking and reporting the geolocation of a mobile appliance for a wireless communications network overlay system is disclosed. Embodiments of the novel system and method allow for geolocating a mobile appliance regardless of the wireless air interface protocol standard utilized by the mobile appliance.

Abstract: System and methods for an application that allows users to interactively create, transform and play music using cell phones, iPhones™ and other enabled mobile communication devices communicating with a remote host are disclosed. Using an enabled mobile communication device, users are able to strike the mobile device like a drum to create and record rhythms, enter melodies using the keypads, add voice recordings, and manipulate musical tracks by tilting the mobile device continuously in three dimensions. The musical input is sequenced in multiple tracks and the transformative manipulations are applied in real time, allowing users to create their songs in an expressive motion-based manner.

Embodiments of the system and method enable the network analysis system to determine if signals being received by the network receivers arrive directly from a target mobile appliance or if the signals are passing through a repeater. The repeaters through an augmentation measure attribute of a received signal to a network manager and based on these attributes it is determine whether the signal is served by a repeater or other network device.

Abstract: A field-of-view indicator for use with a viewing device provides a user of the viewing device with a visible indication of a status or event. The viewing device is used by a user to view an image of a scene. An indicator mechanism is operable to display an indication to the user in at least a portion of the image. The indicator mechanism is located in a position such that, while viewing the image of the scene with the viewing device, the user does not view an image of the indicator mechanism. When not activated, the indicator mechanism does not block a portion of the user's view of the image of the scene. The indication may be a change in one of color and brightness of the portion of the image. A plurality of indications may be provided using one or more colors, flash rates, duty cycles, and intensities.

Abstract: A method for generating geocoded data for a wireless communication system works over a plurality of network architectures and location processes. The method identifies the presence of mobile activity in the wireless communication network and in response collects wireless communication measurement data associated with the mobile activity. Geolocation is performed on the mobile associated with the activity and the geolocation and measurement data are combined forming geocoded data. The geocoded data is then supplied to a processing system to support implementation of optimization of the wireless network.

Abstract: A method and system for collecting test and measurement data for a wireless communication system utilizes a network overlay geo-location system to collect the data. The wireless communication system has plural base stations defining a signal coverage area for communication with a mobile appliance and collects test and measurement data simultaneous on the forward and reverse links during standard geo-location processes. The wireless communication system also collects test and measurement data when the network overlay geolocation system is in an idle state.

Abstract: A furnace heat exchanger with multiple parallel flow passages wherein the last flow passage extends downwardly from its plane as it approaches the outlet so as to result in a lower overall height of the heat exchanger. Preferably both the upper wall and the lower wall of the last passage extend downwardly such that the cross-sectional area of the last flow passage is not reduced and is preferably increased as it approaches the outlet. The bottom wall extension is preferably curvilinear and has substantially the same curvature as a return bend at the inlet of the penultimate flow passage.
