Abstract: A cellular communication transceiver including an array which includes a plurality of aperture elements distributed over one or more surfaces, the aperture elements being configured to receive and transmit cellular communication signals, a beamformer configured to apply a time domain beamforming process to the cellular communication signals to enable directional receive and transmit beams to be formed using the aperture elements, and a telemetry subsystem operably coupling the aperture elements to the beamformer.

Abstract: A method for dynamically provisioning access and/or service for a device may include receiving information indicative of a user identity associated with a user of a device, correlating the user identity to the device, determining a user profile descriptive of access to be afforded to the user in a network or indicative of service parameters associated with provision of services to the user in the network, and granting the user access to use the network services via the device in accordance with the user profile.

Abstract: A method for storing, accessing and interchanging voluminous confidential documents for review by a plurality of parties and for notifying selected ones of a plurality of receiving computers generally operated by unrelated business organizations of receipt by a predetermined host server of such electronic documents from a sender computer for review. The documents are reviewable by each respective receiving computer over a global communications network. The sender computer and the receiving computers are registered in the host server.

Abstract: A method and system for sending, receiving and managing the exchange of messages between an intranet and multiple external users using a secure server as an intermediary interface for Internet communications. In one form, the secure server operates in a replication mode with a Lotus Domino server wherein secure transmissions are designated by an @secure URL. In another form, secure transmissions are implemented by establishing a secure connection to the secure server using a browser addressing the server URL. The server operating system interfaces with the intranet so that the intranet user can use standard groupware, such as Lotus Notes, to create, send and receive secure documents. External users are notified by normal e-mail of the presence of secure documents at the server and must connect to the server in a secure mode to retrieve documents. Responses to documents are automatically returned to the sender's e-mail server using secure transmission.

Abstract: A method for managing television presentation recordings includes determining if a television presentation corresponding to a television presentation listing is scheduled to be recorded, assigning a color to the television presentation listing responsive to determining that the television presentation is scheduled to be recorded, and presenting the television presentation listing to a user.

Abstract: An analysis system fuzes original data according to system and/or operator imposed rules, displays a graphic abstraction representing fuzed data, and provides, merely at the operator's request, details of the fuzed data and/or of the original data.

Abstract: A carrier for returnable beverage containers such as metal cans of aluminum or the like and bottles which includes a plurality of substantially rigid tubes connected together by clips or other connectors to form the carrier. Each of the tubes is vertically elongated to receive a plurality of vertically oriented containers in stacked relation. Carrying handle structure is attached to the carrier to enable it to be easily carried and the bottom ends of the tubes have a retainer which can be rendered ineffective to enable the returned containers to be discharged by gravity from the lower ends of the tubes thereby enabling a plurality of returnable containers to be easily returned to the point of purchase for refund of a deposit with the modular construction of the tubes and the interconnecting clip arrangements enabling variation in the capacity of the carrier.

Abstract: A carrier for beverage containers and more particularly a carrier in the form of a flexible bag which can be collapsed from an extended position during use to a more compact condition for storage and transport with the bag adapted to receive a plurality of vertically disposed rows of empty beverage cans to facilitate such beverage cans being returned to their point of purchase in order to obtain a refund of a deposit paid when the beverages were purchased. The bag is generally rectangular in configuration and provided with carrying handles on opposite sides thereof with the peripheral wall of the bag being transparent to enable observation of the cans disposed therein with the interior of the bag being divided into a plurality of vertical compartments by a plurality of pivotally connected dividers with the bottom of the bag including a rigid insert to provide a flat bottom to provide a stable unit when in extended condition.
