Abstract: An “Frequency-Time Based Data Compression Method” supporting the compression, encryption, decompression, and decryption and persistence of many binary digits through frequencies where each frequency represents many bits.

Abstract: A network of enabled devices, the enabled devices being arranged to permit computer programs to be dynamically downloaded onto and executed on the devices, and the devices being connected to one or more general computer networks containing a plurality of non-enabled devices not arranged to permit computer programs to be dynamically downloaded onto and executed on the devices, each enabled device having a list of the addresses of a sub-set of said enabled devices; and each device consecutively attempting to contact each of the devices in the sub-set of devices until either one of the sub-set of devices is contacted or the device determines that the next device in the subset of devices which it is to contact itself.

Abstract: Data is transmitted from a first server computer to a client computer by transmitting the data from the first server computer to a second server computer in a first encoding format, transforming the data from the first encoding format to a second encoding format at the second server computer and transmitting the transformed data in the second encoding format to the client computer from the second server computer.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for managing wireless devices in an enterprise. A first exemplary method manages the physical access points of a wireless network in an enterprise. A second exemplary method manages the assets of wireless devices in an enterprise. A third exemplary method enables virus detection within wireless devices. A fourth exemplary method manages wireless device data backup.

Abstract: A computer monitor device to allow at least two persons to simutaneously view the same and different information received from a computer. The device has at least two display screens that are mounted as to be independently tiltable to optimal viewing angles. One embodiment has the display screens mounted on a base. In another embodiment, one display screen is mounted on a laptop computer and a second display screen is mounted to the first display screen by a hinge. The two display screens are generally mounted opposite each other. In a third embodiment, two display screens are connected together by swivel linkages that may also carry electrical connectors, allowing the display screens to be daisy-chained together.

Abstract: A flexible lens mount for securing a flexible lens having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The flexible lens mount comprises a resilient member, a base member, and a fastener. The resilient member includes a first end, a second end, and a first surface adapted to abut the second side of the flexible lens. The resilient member is adapted to be flexed to form a first arc of about degrees D of about radius R. The base member includes a second surface forming a second arc which complements the first arc. The second surface is adapted to abut the first side of the flexible lens such that the flexible lens is disposed intermediate the first and second surfaces. The base member further comprises a first retaining member disposed at one end to retain the first end of the resilient member, and a second retaining member disposed at an other end to retain the second end of the resilient member.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method to inhibit the binding between the p85 and p110 subunits of said PI3-kinase and thus a method to modulate PI3-kinase activity and modulate the response of cells to external stimuli. In particular, disabling, by conventional means, residues located in the inter-SH2 domain of said p85 subunit, specifically a region containing amino acid residue 478 to amino acid residue 513 of p85.alpha. subunit, or amino acid residue 445 to amino acid residue 485 of p85.beta. subunit of said PI3-kinase. Interference with these binding regions will affect binding between the subunits and results in inhibiting PI3-kinase activity. This invention further relates to a methods to modulate the serine kinase activity of the PI3-kinase which can be achieved by disabling the DRHNSN sequence of the p110 subunit and can also be used to effect changes in overall PI3-kinase activity. This invention is further related to an (ant)agonist which affects serine kinase activity of PI3-kinase.

Abstract: A method of making a boron carbide article by sintering includes mixing boron carbide with an epoxidized resin in solution and drying to form a granulated homogenized mixture and a carbonization cycle in which the mixture is maintained at at least two constant temperatures for predetermined times. The rates of temperature rise are at controlled rates sufficient to allow outgassing of the gases evolved during the decomposition of the resin.

Abstract: A plug member adapted for insertion into a tube end seals about its periphery in response to a predetermined activation to prevent fluid flow through the tube. In one embodiment, the plug contains annular rings that expand radially outwardly in response to thermal excitation. In an alternate embodiment, a welding material is forced about the plug periphery to seal with the interior surface of a tube in response to a predetermined activation.
