Publication number: 20070198275Abstract: A method and system for routing intelligence information related to security. The security system provides rules that identify conditions and routing instructions that are to be applied to intelligence information. A security organization may create and modify rules to ensure the appropriate routing of intelligence information in a timely manner. The security system may receive intelligence information from various sources. Regardless of the form or source of intelligence information, the security system analyzes the intelligence information to determine whether any conditions of the rules are satisfied. When a condition of a rule is satisfied, the security system sends a notification of the intelligence information in accordance with the routing instructions for that rule. In this way, intelligence information can be automatically and quickly routed to the appropriate security personnel for further processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2002Publication date: August 23, 2007Inventors: Matthew Malden, Daniel Israel, Robert Pinkerton, Frank Bishop, Prashant Patel, Christopher Nash, Rahul Viswanathan, Arun Abichandani, Rajani Yelkur, Hang Wong, Jackson Chan

Publication number: 20060197682Abstract: An information system is provided for transmitting data into a local area surrounding the transmitter. The transmitter may be used to provide information to pedestrians, or to passing road traffic. Data is stored in a local memory 64 associated with the transmitter such that data stored in the memory can be repeatedly and frequently transmitted to users 70 having suitable reception apparatus 18 in the vicinity of the transmitter.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2006Publication date: September 7, 2006Applicant: Last Mile Communications LimitedInventors: Timothy Crocker, John Brandwood, Frank Bishop

Patent number: 6287094Abstract: A hydraulic fluid pump (10), including a housing (12), a pumping apparatus (14), an inlet (16), a pressure chamber (17), an outlet (18), a bypass valve (20) and a diffuser (24). Wherein cavitation is reduced by using the diffuser (24) to supercharge fluid from the outlet (18) to increase the static pressure of the fluid entering the pumping apparatus (14). And wherein the inlet (16) and the diffuser (24) are designed to minimize the complexity, cost and packaging considerations of the hydraulic fluid pump (10).Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1999Date of Patent: September 11, 2001Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Daniel J. Bleitz, Leonard Frank Bishop, James Asam

Patent number: 4791390Abstract: A very rapidly converging adaptive filter which uses a variable scale factor for each weight of the filter. The value of the variable scale factor is chosen for each iteration and is based upon the sign changes of the incremental weight change. The variable scale factor exhibits large values when no sign changes occur and smaller values when sign changes occur. The new filter provides considerable improvement in increase of convergence rate and decrease in residual errors even in the presence of heavy noise while requiring only a modest increase in hardware.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1982Date of Patent: December 13, 1988Assignee: Sperry CorporationInventors: Richard W. Harris, Frank A. Bishop, Glen D. Rattlingourd
