Abstract: Achieving phase synchronization in single frequency networks may be useful in various communication systems. For example, the use of synchronous Ethernet, timing over packet, and radio interface based synchronization (RIBS) may be applied in mobile and/or data communication networks. Certain embodiments improve phase accuracy using a hybrid synchronization method beyond standard RIBS and clustering carriers using the same transmission waveforms across carriers. Certain embodiments also select a master transmission point to maximize the signal quality of the composite waveforms in a cluster.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for identifying interference when prevailing conditions give rise to a suspicion of interference. Upon detection by one or more elements of a wireless network that interference may be present, measurements are directed to provide information indicating whether interference is present and whether the interference is severe enough to warrant interference mitigation. The information is analyzed to determine if severe interference is in fact present, and interference mitigation measures are directed if severe interference is identified. Analysis may include identifying one or more dominant interferers, and may further include directing additional measurements and analyzing information provided thereby in order to identify one or more dominant interferers.

Abstract: A method of recording and delivering messages through an online platform includes a user account where the user account uploads the messages to the online platform. The user account includes a user profile and also creates a plurality of guest profiles where the plurality of guest profiles is assigned to view the uploaded messages. All of the uploaded messages are saved into a database through the online platform and secured until the user's death. The application software continuously searches through a vitality database for information which can be matched with the user profile. When a match is found for the user profile from the vitality database, the application software notifies a plurality of guests with a deceased notification link and a time sensitive password. The deceased notification link and the time sensitive password allow the plurality of guest to selectively view the uploaded messages.

Abstract: A hard disk destruction apparatus is presented having a penetrating point that is manually pressed against a hard disk. The point has an angled tip designed to penetrate the hard disk casing and deform the hard disk platters within. The manual pressing avoids the use of any electrical power or other fuel. In one described embodiment, a mechanical arbor press provides the necessary force. A transparent safety shield surrounds the hard disk during destruction. A restraint prevents upward movement of the hard disk when the point is extracted.

Abstract: Systems and methods of assembling an elementary stream from an encapsulated multimedia transport stream are disclosed. An exemplary method includes: receiving a command from a user mode video playback component; in response, processing layer-2 packets received through a network interface driver binding to assemble, into an MPEG elementary stream, multimedia transport packets encapsulated within; and supplying the stream to a decoder. The receiving and processing steps are performed in kernel mode. Also disclosed is an exemplary digital home communication terminal that includes a network interface, memory, and a processor. The processor executes code to: receive a command from a user mode video playback component; process layer-2 packets received through a network interface driver binding, in order to assemble into an MPEG elementary stream multimedia transport packets encapsulated within the received layer-2 packets; and supply the elementary stream to a decoder.

Abstract: The present invention is a connection light attached to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for viewing wiring connections to the rear surface of the UPS and to nearby equipment. The connection light is operable under normal conditions as well as during a power failure. In some configurations, the connection light is extendible in three dimensions and can be pointed in any direction. The connection light may draw power directly from the UPS, or it may contain its own rechargeable battery. In some configurations, the light is detachable from the UPS.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting stress urinary incontinence use a pressure sensing catheter the electrical indications of which are applied to a processing unit for detecting pressure levels generated during involuntary coughs. The involuntary coughs are induced preferentially by using a nebulized composition of L-tartrate in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The area under the curve generated from pressure samples is calculated and used in conjunction with the detection of urine leakage to determine the existence of stress urinary incontinence.

Abstract: A hydrogen storage material based on sodium alanate contains aluminum in excess of the stoichiometric aluminum content of sodium aluminum tetrahydride. A particulate mixture of sodium alanates, aluminum, and a suitable metal-containing catalyst readily yields, upon heating of the mixture, its hydrogen content for delivery to a hydrogen-using device. The excess aluminum facilitates the sorption of hydrogen, minimizes the amount of necessary catalyst, and improves packing of the particulate mixture and heat transfer to and from the mixture.

Abstract: A system and method for viewing search results is disclosed. A method of communicating a search result according to various views is disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for evaluating a patient's laryngeal cough reflex function includes a nebulizer capable of being actuated to atomize a cough-inducing substance, a switch associated with the nebulizer, the switch responsive to actuation of the nebulizer, and a connection between the switch and an EMG machine to thereby activate the EMG machine responsive to the switch. Elapsed time between switch actuation and electrical activity sensed in a muscle which contracts to produce a cough is indicative of status of the patient's laryngeal cough reflex.
