Patent number: 6401085Abstract: A system is disclosed that facilitates web-based information retrieval and display system. A wireless phone or similar hand-held wireless device with Internet Protocol capability is combined with other peripherals to provide a portable portal into the Internet. The wireless device prompts a user to input information of interest to the user. This information is transmitted a query to a service routine (running on a Web server). The service routine then queries the Web to find price, shipping and availability information from various Web suppliers. This information is then available for use by application programs such as wordprocessors, e-mail, accounting, graphical editors and other user tools. The system provides an innovative collaborative interface to many popular user applications that are useful in a mobile environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1999Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: Accenture LLPInventors: Anatole Vitaly Gershman, Kishore Sundaram Swaminathan, James L.

Patent number: 5515337Abstract: A multibeam side-look sonar system includes a projecting transducer that projects a beam of acoustic energy to insonify a target area and a receiving transducer having a plurality of transducer elements arranged in a linear array. Each of the transducer elements generates a beam signal in response to acoustic energy reflected from the target area. A beamforming circuit, coupled to the receiving transducer, processes the beam signals generated by the transducer elements to form a beam pattern. The beam pattern for an end beam on the receiving transducer has a main lobe and grating side lobes. One of the grating side lobes may be insonified by the projected beam of acoustic energy. A shading circuit, coupled between the receiving transducer and the beamforming circuit, amplifies the beam signals with respective gains, and adjusts each of the respective gains to reduce an amplitude level of the grating side lobe insonified by the projected beam of acoustic energy.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1995Date of Patent: May 7, 1996Assignee: Westinghouse Electric CorporationInventors: George A. Gilmour, James L. Meyers, Leslie M. James
