Abstract: A system and method for distributing information from a host service in communication with a computer network to a mobile station in communication with a wireless network is provided. A data item associated with the mobile station is received at the host service. The host service then determines whether a network resource of the wireless network is currently associated with the mobile station. If the network resource of the wireless network is not currently associated with the mobile station, then the host service transmits a resource request message to the mobile station to instruct the mobile station to acquire the network resource. Subsequently to acquiring the network resource, the host service is then able to transmit the data item to the mobile station using the network resource.

The example method includes selecting one of the first network and the second network to place a voice call and placing the call using the selected network.

Abstract: A client for a text-based messaging application for a dual-mode mobile communication device may initiate an audio conference based on a text-based message. Contents of fields of the text-based message may be extracted and utilized to construct an audio conference request message that is subsequently transmitted to an audio conference gateway. Where the text-based messaging application is an instant messaging (IM) client application, it may be configured to recognize a voice connection as being related to an ongoing Data Mode IM conversation. As a consequence of the recognition, the IM client application may maintain the user interface for facilitating participation in the Voice Mode IM conversation. Updates related to the status of the Voice Mode IM conversation may be received at the dual-mode mobile communication device over the voice connection and reflected in changes to the user interface.

Abstract: A unified messaging system, method and user interface is provided for a handheld mobile communication device. The method may include the following steps: (a) receiving a notification signal at the wireless device via the wireless data channel indicating that the unified messaging system received and stored a voice mail message intended for a user of the wireless device; (b) transmitting a command signal from the wireless device to the unified messaging system via the wireless data channel, the command signal including a message retrieval command; (c) receiving via the wireless voice channel a voice call initiated by a voice mail system component of the unified messaging system in response to the message retrieval command transmitted from the wireless device; and (d) receiving the voice mail message from the unified messaging system via the wireless voice channel.

Abstract: An electrostatic disinfectant tool is provided to output a discharge to kill a biological cell. The electrostatic disinfectant tool includes an electrostatic applicator that outputs the discharge, wherein the discharge includes an electrostatic field.

Abstract: Techniques for use in delivering data from a host service to a mobile device operative in a wireless network are disclosed. The host service is configured to maintain in a host memory an availability status indicative of the availability of the mobile device in the wireless network. A router receives an indication signal from the mobile device within a predetermined interval. The indication signal indicates one or more functional states or parameter levels of the mobile device. When the one or more functional states or parameter levels of the indication signal are indicative of availability, and a cached availability status in cache memory of the router equals to unavailable, the router changes the cached availability status from unavailable to available and transmits the changed availability status from the router to the host service for setting the availability status at the host service.

Abstract: A basketball system may include a basketball goal and a support structure that is sized and configured to support the basketball goal above a playing surface. The basketball system may also include an adjustment assembly that is sized and configured to allow the height of the basketball goal to be adjusted. The adjustment assembly may include an arm that is connected to the structure connecting the basketball goal and the support structure. The arm may include a plurality of receiving portions, such as openings or slots, and an engaging member may be connected to the support structure. When the engaging portion is connected to a first receiving portion, the basketball goal may be disposed at a first height. Preferably, when the engaging portion is connected to a second receiving portion, the basketball goal may be disposed at a second height. The adjustment assembly may also include a locking mechanism that is sized and configured to lock the arm and basketball goal in a desired position.
