Abstract: Disclosed herein is a computer-implemented method for coordinating a plurality of applications operating on a device, each application arranged to communicate with one or more servers for the application and the one or more servers associated with the application to provide one or more functions. The method comprises receiving information indicative of a function required by a first application of the plurality of applications, wherein the required function is not one of the one or more functions provided by the first application and its associated one or more servers. The method further comprises identifying a second application of the plurality of applications that is capable of providing the required function with the one or more servers associated with the second application.

Abstract: A geolocation system and method uses a single platform for determining a Doppler measurement set of a targeted aircraft or signal of interest. The electronic warfare aircraft and the ejected aircraft expendables technology device determine the Doppler measurement set of the targeted aircraft or other signal of interest. The ejected aircraft expendables technology device is initially tuned to an expected frequency of the target of interest. Re-tuning may take place after an initial signal reading and computation has been performed by the electronic warfare aircraft.

Abstract: An apparatus for use with a cannula includes a rigid rod which is receivable and movable in the cannula throughout a range of operative positions in which inner and outer end portions of the rod extend longitudinally outward from the inner and outer ends of the cannula. The apparatus further includes a contact electrode which is configured to be supported on the inner end portion of the rigid rod for movement with the rigid rod through the cannula.

Abstract: A power door safety sensing strip with a bracket strip for attachment to the face of a power operated garage door. The sensing strip includes a flexible insulating tubular member having a bell-like shaped cross section with a wide inner face. A flat insulating member fastened to a narrow section of the bell-like member extends to the wide inner face. Conductive surfaces on the wide inner face and on the flexible insulating member are moved into contact upon deformation of the bell-like member, thereby providing electrical contact. A Z-shaped bracket to attach the sensing strip to the face of a power operated door has one leg adapted to be attached to the door face. Another leg of the bracket, formed with a U-shaped receptacle, receives and holds the sensing strip so that it extends a short distance beyond the door edge.

Abstract: In an automotive type engine having an air bypass valve controlling a portion of the air flow to the engine, decelerations are controlled in a manner to minimize or eliminate the conventional large feedback negative torque impulse to the operator usually experienced when fuel is shut off. The air bypass valve is closed down, in response to correct decel conditions, to an air flow level below that scheduled to establish the normal idle speed condition. The positive engine combustion torque is decreased so that the magnitude of the ratio between it and the engine negative torque becomes small. Immediately following fuel shut-off, the bypass valve is reopened to return the air flow to that level establishing the set idle speed condition upon resumption of fuel flow.

Abstract: A power door sensing strip incorporates a pair of electrical conductors positioned in a sealed plastic tube and supported in a molded foam block so that external forces result in contact between the conductors. Reliable operation is afforded by the absense of internal supports between the conductors. Further, short circuits caused by moisture and contaminants entering the foam through breaks in an outer jacket are eliminated. Trimmable tails and electrical connections on the ends of the strip enable the strip to be used with doors of varying widths and for non-handed installation.

Abstract: An apparatus for ultrasonic irradiation of the heart either when the chest is open after surgery or through the chest wall. It may also be used in conjunction with electrical defibrillation equipment or alone. The apparatus includes an EKG for detecting the heart beat, an ultrasonic generator and timing and pulsing circuits for providing timed pulses of ultrasound to coincide with selected events in the cardiac cycle.

Abstract: A method for refurbishing a suspended acoustical tile ceiling when the tiles become soiled comprises inserting a tile insert beneath each soiled tile to provide a new face to the suspended ceiling. The tile insert comprises a thin layer of substantially rigid material with an acoustical pattern of holes extending therethrough. The tile insert has a front face which is of washable material. In this manner, an entire suspended ceiling system can be refurbished without the need to remove the existing tiles. The tile insert may include a moisture barrier on the rear face of the tile insert. The moisture barrier improves washability of the tile and significantly enhances the noise reduction properties of the refurbished suspended ceiling.

Abstract: Transmission of digital information during the course of a television signal transmission is provided by transmitting a predetermined number of color burst cycles during the horizontal blanking interval such that logical bits are represented by different, predetermined cycles of color burst.

Abstract: Instant replay for microprocessor-controlled video games is provided by storing and retaining for a period of time in a random access memory the results of microprocessor polling of each of the player command entry devices. In a memory conserving embodiment only newly entered player commands and the times when such commands are entered need be stored and retained.

Abstract: A television message system is disclosed wherein encoded data displayed on a small area of a television screen is received by a photosensitive pickup which responds to the encoded data, and including a message processor for storing viewer selected data and processing such data for redisplay on the television screen as readable alpha-numerics.

Abstract: A number of subsystems are disclosed for use in pagers in which the message transmitted, received and displayed is in alpha/numeric form. The subsystems include an encoder which displays the encoded message on an imprinted tape which is run continuously as an alarm when the memory of the encoder is overloaded. In a soft copy embodiment the encoder includes a keyboard and a dot matrix form of display both driven by a single logic circuit which cycles sequentially through all the alpha/numeric characters to provide simultaneously keyboard decoding and display activation. In another subsystem an end of message circuit is provided to sense the absence of transmitted characters by integration of the message signals, with a nonzero average indicating the end of the message. In a further subsystem, when FSK message signals are used, only one of the two tones is detected for message decoding.
