Abstract: Disclosed is a geophysical data acquisition system. The system comprises a frame assembly; a set of ground engaging members connected to the frame assembly, and adapted to move the frame assembly along the ground surface; and a carrier assembly carried by the frame assembly, the carrier assembly having one or more seismic source subsystems and a drive mechanism adapted to move each of the one or more seismic source subsystems through a plurality of positions between a lowered position and a raised position and forward and rearward positions with respect to the frame assembly. The movement of each of the one or more seismic source subsystems being in coordination with the movement of the frame assembly, such that each of the one or more seismic source subsystems move to the lowered position when the frame assembly approaches one or more data acquisition points on the ground surface.

Abstract: A personal wireless navigation system operable on wireless phone devices provides a platform for empowering a merchant-paid search. Performance of a navigation functionality in a personal wireless navigation system is higher and more comparable and competitive with portable navigation devices and in-car navigation systems, and the search capability is comparable and competitive with the most popular web search engines. A user interface (UI) and look and feel of the personal wireless navigation system is provided which is enhanced so that users do not simply want to use the product—they covet it. The personal wireless navigation system may be constructed such that a subset of it with fewer features and functions can be productized, marketed and deployed to users.

Abstract: An electrical outlet box and/or assembly is attachable to the wall stud. The assembly in one embodiment includes an outlet box having a perimetrical side wall, a back wall and open front face defining a box interior. The assembly may also include a communications frame or a ceiling light box. A mounting bracket is integrally formed with the box and extends from the side wall. The mounting bracket includes, integrally formed therewith, an attachment structure for directly securing the bracket to the stud and positionally fixing the bracket without the use of additional securement hardware. The bracket may be a U-shaped member having a planar face abutting the face of the stud and a pair of spaced apart arms extending therefrom for engagement with opposite sides of the stud.

Abstract: An electrical outlet box assembly provides for the accommodation of dual voltage fixtures. The outlet box assembly accommodates electrical fixtures and data fixtures along separate mounting axes. The electrical outlet box assembly provides for increased capacity while meeting applicable code requirements.

Abstract: A garment covering a user's torso. The garment fits much like a bra, however, it is contoured and designed so that it can display text, graphics, or both on its front. A variety of seams on the back of the garment help to maintain a taught fit, while the shoulder straps of the garment allow it to support the breasts of the user like a bra. An elastic strip along the bottom circumference of the present invention also adds in providing support for the user's breasts.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for forming an image from millimetre waves. A field of view scanned using two geometrically orthogonal, intersecting copolarized fan beams (110, 120) to receive millimetre wave radiation. The received millimetre wave radiation from said fan beams are then cross-correlated (250, 650). Also, a method and antenna (400, 610) for receiving millimetre wave radiation are disclosed. The antenna includes first and second fan beam antennas (410, 420) for receiving millimetre wave radiation and a filter (430, 440) for rotating polarization of incident millimetre wave radiation through 90 degrees received by the second fan beam antenna (410). The respective first and second beams (110, 120) intersect and are co-polarized and geometrically orthogonal to each other.

Abstract: A system and method for discovering and connecting to a preferred remote Bluetooth device by a local Bluetooth device. An inquiry scan cache and a page scan cache are maintained. The inquiry scan cache is updated by way of a periodic inquiry scan. The page scan cache is refreshed by way of an attempt to connect to the preferred remote Bluetooth device. Periodically, and more frequently than the periodic inquiry scan, a list of available remote Bluetooth devices is formed from entries in the inquiry scan cache concatenated with each entry in the page scan cache for which a page scan is successful. In one embodiment, the page scan cache holds a finite number of entries, and an expiration policy is applied to each added entry. In another embodiment, the inquiry scan cache is also updated when a remote Bluetooth device attempts to connect to the local Bluetooth device.

Abstract: A system and method for enabling and implementing personal area networking on a local machine having one or more local Bluetooth devices. A set of interoperating data structures are employed in an implementation of a PAN driver, including device control blocks and connection control blocks, which comprise finite state machines. Also disclosed are a method and system for setting and advertising multiple PAN profile roles in a Bluetooth device.

Abstract: A chemically inducible gene expression system is described. A chimeric gene having a first sequence comprising a promoter and a regulator polypeptide is linked with a second sequence comprising a promoter and a coding or non-coding sequence. Expression of the target gene of the second sequence is controlled by the regulator polypeptide which is acted upon by an inducer. The inducer is a chemical compound, such as OHP, which acts upon the OHP responsive regulator polypeptide, which can be obtained from Rhodococcus sp. V49. Various domain regions and complementary response elements are also described.
