  • Publication number: 20130032534
    Abstract: Processes for removing hydrocarbon contaminants from soil and groundwater via enhanced biological denitrification. A contamination zone of groundwater and/or soil is identified to define a volume or zone of contaminants to be treated. A source of nitrate is applied to the contaminant zone to serve as an electronic acceptor for enhanced bioremediation of the petroleum hydrocarbons. A further carbon source, secondary to the primary contaminant hydrocarbons, is added to form a barrier about the nitrate treatment zone to stimulate degradation of any nitrate migrating from the treatment zone. A further carbon source is also added to stimulate the degradation of any residual nitrate once the primary carbon source of the contaminant hydrocarbons have been destroyed.

  • Publication number: 20120244882
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for providing satellite assistance data to facilitate determination of the location of a mobile station, particularly for instance a mobile station served by a femtocell. When a positioning server receives a request for the location of a mobile station, the positioning server will determine from the request the mobile station is served by a femtocell and that the positioning server should query a femtocell server for seed data, or the positioning server may otherwise determine from the request that the positioning server should query the femtocell server for seed data. The seed data would preferably be geographic coordinates of a femtocell with which the mobile station is registered. The positioning server may then use that seed data to facilitate obtaining satellite assistance data from a base station almanac, and the positioning serve may provide the satellite assistance data to the mobile station to facilitate location determination.

  • Publication number: 20110274497
    Abstract: Compositions and methods of using such compositions for treating subsurface soil in an aquifer to remove contaminants that may be present in water of the aquifer. The composition includes a first solution and a second solution. The first solution includes at least one chemical capable of being effectively bound to soil to form a sorbent matrix by reacting in the subsurface. The second solution includes at least one chemical capable of reacting with at least one of the chemicals in the first solution in order to create the matrix. The first and second solutions are chosen so as to react on a time scale allowing at least one chemical in the first solution to bind to the soil.

  • Patent number: 8055272
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for helping to improve processing duration and successful position determination in a position-determining system. The position-determining system receives a request to determine position of a mobile station, such as a cellular wireless communication device, and the request includes a timer value indicative of the maximum allowed time for responding to the request. The position-determining system then dynamically determines how long to spend attempting a primary location-determination process, based on the indicated timer value and an expected time necessary to employ a fallback, or secondary, location-determination process. If the position-determining system fails to determine the position within the time allocated to the primary process, it resorts to application of the secondary position-determination process.

  • Patent number: 7684808
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for assigning channel elements in a radio access network (RAN) based on the type of the communication requiring a channel element. When the RAN receives a request to set up a communication of a particular type with an endpoint in a given wireless coverage area, the RAN responsively determines a proportion of the channel elements that are presently assigned to communications of the particular type. If the proportion does not exceed a predetermined threshold for communications of the particular type, the RAN may assign a channel element to the communication by transmitting the necessary signaling messages to the endpoint, one of which may include an identifier of the assigned channel element. The RAN may then determine and store an indication of the type of the communication being assigned the channel element by correlating signaling messages.

  • Patent number: 7433682
    Abstract: A system and methods for providing location based services to a mobile station in a cellular wireless system. The system includes components that interact with position determining equipment to locate the mobile station within a region that is defined by a service provider. Once the system determines what service is being requested by the mobile station, the system associates the position of the mobile station with a provider-defined region that encompasses the location of the mobile station. A feature of the invention is the manner in which the system associates the provider-defined regions by first determining how the service provider's regions are categorized. The system contacts the service provider for the region over the Internet, and requests information that is appropriate to the position of the mobile station. With this method and system, a mobile station may request information on services that are available in his vicinity.

  • Publication number: 20040199482
    Abstract: Given a record of instrument values over time, a user can mark the record to select the values of particular instruments during particular time ranges. They can further indicate the events (states) associated with those values and time ranges. These markings define the topology of the PNN. The selected instruments define the input nodes of the PNN and the event(s) detected, define the class nodes wherein each event has a corresponding positive class node and a corresponding negative class node. Upon constructing the PNN, training cases may be added to further refine the knowledge of the neural network in a time efficient manner. Because the optimal value of sigma varies little over training set sizes, training cases may be incrementally added to the PNN, further adding to its recognition capabilities, without having to train the PNN on the new cases or re-train the PNN on the old cases. As such, patient specific neural networks may be created in a time and cost efficient manner.
