  • Patent number: 10972910
    Abstract: Systems and methods of operating a wireless communication system are provided. A network node can receive a request from the wireless device to establish communication with the first access node. A network node can receive an indication from an authorization node that a wireless device is not authorized to communicate with a first access node. The network node can transmit a message denying the request to establish communication with the first access node to the wireless device based on the indication from the authorization node. The network node can receive a request from the wireless device to establish communication with a second access node. The network node can determine that the wireless device is authorized to establish communication with the second access node. The network node can transmit a message granting the request to establish communication with the second access node to the wireless device.

  • Patent number: 6226784
    Abstract: A reliable and repeatable process for specifying, developing, distributing, and monitoring a software system or application within a dynamic environment includes the steps of specifying a set of software system requirements during a discovery process within a data processing environment, establishing a development and delivery schedule for distribution of the software system, developing a software system corresponding to the software system requirements during a development process, and developing and testing an install package to be used to install the software system in a test environment within the data processing environment. The install package includes the software system and routines configured to automatically instantiate the software system in the test environment. The developing and testing step takes a first amount of time.

  • Patent number: 6079702
    Abstract: A mini-workbench made of a flat bar having a top surface and a bottom surface, a planar tab extending from said bottom surface and a tridental clamp mounted to the top surface for clamping the bar of a chain saw. The planar tab is insertable in a slot cut in a tree stump for retaining the flat bar to the tree stump. The tridental clamp is usable for retaining the saw bar to the flat bar, whereby the chain saw may be filed with ease, firmness and precision. In one aspect of the invention, the thickness of the planar tab is similar to a common chain saw kerf. A woodcutter may use his/her power saw for slotting the upper end of a tree stump having a proper height and location, and easily mount the mini-workbench to that stump.
