Abstract: A device for boosting a mobile signal corresponding to a mobile device, the device including a cradle for holding the mobile device, a mirrored phone antenna configured to contact the mobile device when placed in the cradle, and configured to receive the mobile signal from the mobile device, a secondary antenna for receiving the mobile signal from the mirrored phone antenna, a booster electronic card for receiving the mobile signal from the secondary antenna, and for boosting the mobile signal, and a directionalized antenna for receiving the boosted mobile signal from the booster electronic card, and for transmitting the boosted mobile signal.

Abstract: A seed vault and organizer to store seeds and organize them for distribution, and having a transport container that can open and close, and contains therein various items that are typically used by person who works with plant seeds, including airtight containers, tube holders, and envelopes for distribution.

Abstract: A video processing environment includes a user interface and processing shell from which various video processing ‘plug-in’ programs are accessed. The shell insulates the plug-ins from the intricacies of reading various file formats. The user interface allows an operator to load a video sequence, define and view one or more video objects on any one or more frames of the video sequence, edit existing video object segmentations, view video objects across a series of video frames, and encode video objects among a video sequence in a desired format. Various encoding parameters can be adjusted allowing the operator to view the video sequence encoded at the various parameter settings. The user interface includes a video window, a time-line window, a zoom window, a set of menus including a menu of plug-in programs, and a set of dialogue boxes, including encoding parameter dialogue boxes.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention organize a collection of data frames which can be allocated to mobilestations into sets of contiguous groups of frames Each group of frames is mutually independent in time (i.e., each group of contiguous frames does not overlap, in time, with another group of contiguous frames). Each orthogonal group of frames is assigned to a BS (a single BS may be assigned more than one orthogonal group of frames). The BS may allocate its assigned orthogonal group of frames to a plurality of MSs thus forming a plurality of communications channels. In a further embodiment, a single BS, having been assigned more than one orthogonal group of frames, can assign each orthogonal group of frames to sectors (or sections) within a wireless cell.
