Abstract: A system and method for optimizing publication operating states includes sending a first publication message to provide an operating state of a mobile unit. The operating state of the mobile unit is stored in a data session slot associated with the mobile unit. A second publication message is sent to update the operating state of the mobile unit. An entity tag value is derived from identifiers in accounting information of the second publication message to identify data in the data session slot associated with the mobile unit.

Abstract: A system and a method (100, 500) for integrating an uncertified client (104) with a certified host device (102) are provided. The integration system (100) is configured to integrate the uncertified client (104), which has a plurality of client applications (106), with the certified host device (102), and has a client virtual machine (108), host applications (142), and an abstraction layer (138, 156). The client virtual machine (108) is coupled to the uncertified client (104) and is configured to execute the plurality of client applications (106). The host applications (142) are coupled to the certified host device (102) and are configured to control host dependent features on the certified host device (102). The abstraction layer (138, 156) are coupled to the host applications (142) and to the client virtual machine (108), and are configured to translate feature calls from the plurality of client applications (106) to function calls for the host applications (142).

Abstract: An aircraft cockpit reinforced, stationary dividing wall system that completely separates the Pilots cockpit flight deck from the passengers compartment. Additionally, this stationary dividing wall shall be an engineered unit consisting of Titanium studding, thick Titanium plates, attached on each side with an outer thick layer of Kevlar and a material called spectra. This stationary dividing wall shall be designed to maintain complete separation of the passengers from the aircraft navigation personnel. The lightweight, solid, bulletproof, stationary interior enclosing wall system, wherein with relatively few components, most of which can be formed from titanium sheet stock. A wide variety of interior full height walls can be constructed, thus avoiding the necessity of the manufacture and inventory of a large number of parts.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamically managing non-volatile memory items in a wireless device, the method comprising the steps of: checking the non-volatile memory items for a unique identifier item; if the unique identifier item exists, comparing an identifier stored within the unique identifier item with a software identifier located in software on the wireless device; and if the unique identifier item does not exist or if the identifier is different from the software identifier, performing the steps of: updating the non-volatile memory items; and writing the software identifier to the unique identifier item. The method may further include a rollback scheme for previous software versions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of dynamically managing non-volatile memory items on a wireless device through a network, the method comprising the steps of: when connecting to said network, checking for a unique identifier item stored in said non-volatile memory items; if said unique identifier item exists, checking whether a value stored in said unique identifier is the same as a software identifier located in software on said wireless device; if said unique identifier item does not exist or said value is different from said software identifier, sending said software identifier along with an identifier indicating a carrier to said network along with an identifier indicating a carrier; receiving from said network a set of changes related to said software identifier; executing said set of changes to update said non-volatile memory items; and writing said software identifier to said unique identifier item.

Abstract: An innovative system and method for providing financial protection to predefined borrowers during critical periods. The system includes a financial product that includes multiple insurance products that provide financial protection against predefined insurable risks without additional cost to each predefined borrower. The financial product also includes a critical period protection premium that is paid by a private mortgage insurer to reduce the risks associated with possible default by the predefined borrower. The critical period protection premium is used to insure the predefined borrower against at least one predefined insurable risks that occur during critical periods. The financial product also includes a coverage time period and a benefit period. The coverage time period is defined as a period when the typical predefined borrower is most vulnerable to delinquency because of the predefined insurable risk.

Abstract: A system and method of the invention uses an inventive contract structure to fund credit enhancements for borrowers and other community development activities. The system includes at least one collection component and a processing company. The collection component obtains insurance policy information from eligible borrowers. The processing company creates a special purpose vehicle for holding a plurality of life insurance contracts, where each of the plurality of life insurance contracts is based on the insurance policy information from at least one eligible borrower. The plurality of life insurance contracts serve as collateral for a plurality of financial instruments created by the special purpose vehicle. The special purpose vehicle also uses a residual value from the life insurance contracts to pay, for example, the premiums required by the life insurance contracts and as collateral for the plurality of the financial instruments.

Abstract: Interface apparatus for connection between a data handling device and a data communication medium to enable data to be transferred between the device and the medium, is constituted, inter alia, by a data alignment device (7, 8) coupled in use to the data handling device. A memory (5, 6) is coupled for data transfer to the data alignment device (7, 8) and includes a number of substantially identical subsidiary, First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memories arranged in parallel. The number of subsidiary memories is chosen such that their overall width is at least equal to the longest length of data to be transferred between the memory (5, 6) and the alignment device (7, 8) in a single transfer step and the width of each subsidiary memory is equal to the shortest length of data to be transferred between the memory and the alignment device in a single transfer step.
