Each of the wireless communication devices (1055) is assigned to a set of wireless communication devices. The method (500) also includes prioritizing, at management communication device (1050), each of the wireless communication device (1055).

Abstract: One goal of the disclosed embodiments is to improve user engagement, e.g. increasing the number of documents from a group of documents that are read, reviewed, and/or modified. Patterns of inaction are identified based on user inactivity, both in comparison to a group that has received the same group of documents, and as an individual who has received a request regarding a document from another user. When a user crosses a threshold of inactivity, attempts to engage with specific documents are initiated. In one embodiment, promoting content includes displaying links to content in novel ways, including adding links to promoted content to existing content lists located in existing application software, such as a recently opened file list, or adding promoted content in places where a user is likely to see the recommendation while completing a previous task, such as at the bottom of a word processing document.

Abstract: A high temperature reed switch position indicator for a pressurized water reactor in which the drive rod housing is completely immersed in the reactor coolant. The reed switch sensor modules positioned along the control rod drive rod travel housing are constructed solely of metallic, ceramic and glass materials and are sealed within an outer housing to isolate the sensor assembly from the coolant.

Abstract: Hypermedia documents can be published using a computer system by recursively parsing a hypermedia document to identify at least one direct linked document and at least one nested linked document. The addresses for the hypermedia document, the direct linked document and the nested linked document are remapped and versions of the hypermedia document and the linked documents are stored in a directory at their remapped addresses. The directory then can be distributed to another location on a network. Alternatively, or in addition, the hypermedia document and a document linked to it can be processed (e.g., converted to standard formats) based on predefined criteria before versions of the documents are stored in the directory.

Abstract: A device may include an envelope detector to generate an envelope signal from the input signal, a drain bias controller to adjust a drain bias of the amplifier based on the envelope signal, a gate bias controller to adjust a gate bias of the amplifier based on the envelope signal, a predistortion controller to predistort the input signal based on the envelope signal, based on the adjusted drain bias, and based on the adjusted gate bias, and to output the predistorted signal, and an amplifier to receive the predistorted signal and to generate an amplified output signal from the predistorted signal. The device may be selectable to operate in a linear mode or a nonlinear mode. The nonlinear mode may be selected by applying a large gate offset bias.

Abstract: A method of maintaining a color of a cured film formed from a coating composition on a metal substrate relative to a standard comprises the steps of providing a resin, providing a pigment, combining the pigment and the resin to form the coating composition, applying the coating composition to the metal substrate, curing the coating composition to form the cured film having a color defined by an L value, an a value, and a b value, and maintaining the color relative to the standard having an Ls value, an as value, and a bs value whereby the L value, the a value, and the b value each change less than 20% respectively as compared to the L5 value, the as value, and the bs value of the standard. The cured film has a solar reflectance of greater than or equal to 0.75 in the wavelength from 250-2,500 nm.

Abstract: According to a method of sharing information between mobile terminals, a first mobile terminal receives information, such as a web page, which may include form data, and shares the information with one or more second mobile terminals. Input data relevant to the shared information as entered at the second mobile terminals is returned to the first mobile terminal, which consolidates that data with related input data entered at the first mobile terminal. Consolidated information may be sent from the first mobile terminal to the second mobile terminal(s), so that each of the mobile terminals maintains updated consolidated input data, and this process may be repeated as needed. In at least one embodiment, the information to be shared is provided by a third party information provider, and the first mobile terminal is configured to return the finally consolidated data to the third party information provider.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for calculating the radiated sensitivity of a mobile terminal positioned in multiple test orientations for multiple combinations of frequency channel and mobile terminal configuration is described herein. Test equipment measures a reference sensitivity of the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is positioned in a reference orientation. Further, the test equipment estimates an antenna gain associated with a mobile terminal antenna when the mobile terminal is positioned in a test orientation. The test equipment then adjusts the reference sensitivity, based on the estimated antenna gain, to calculate the sensitivity of the mobile terminal positioned in the test orientation.

Abstract: Three-dimensional scenes or movies are generated by a user of a computer system by interactively selecting a stage from among several available 3D stages, each of which has at least one predetermined feature such as a pedestal, lighting characteristics, a camera path or the like. The user may import predefined 3D objects into the selected stage and move and resize the objects as desired to compose a scene. Once composed, the scene is rendered to generate an image or a series of successive scenes is rendered to generate an animated movie.
