Abstract: The present invention is a device for removing flies and other flying or crawling organisms, which allows the user to swat and/or scoop for capture and removal. The embodiment is a handheld mobile device for swatting and subsequently scooping and/or trapping and/or holding insects, bugs, flies, spiders or other organisms from undesired places, then releasing or disposing. The invention may include a handle, swatting mechanism, scoop, reservoir, beveled or tapered scoop edge, openings in handle for structural integrity, storage, with swatting/scooping mechanism, which are configured as follows: opposing end of handle is housed a loop for storage, handle embodies textured grip and comfort configuration, swatting/scooping embodiment at adjacent end of handle.

Abstract: An auxiliary reduced power analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided for use during sleep periods of a receiver. The auxiliary ADC has a reduced dynamic range but sufficient accuracy to allow demodulation of signaling information contained in an input signal and to update control parameters used for synchronization and channel estimation. As such, a main higher power, higher dynamic range ADC can be turned off during sleep periods, reducing receiver power consumption. The main ADC is turned on at the end of a sleep period, and the receiver can be ready for receiving data immediately using the main ADC because the control parameters are maintained up to date during the sleep period using the auxiliary ADC.

Abstract: Embodiments for monitoring a network are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes collecting data containing information on usage of a network by subscribers. The method further aggregates the data for a first type of usage-based function. Further, the method, simultaneously with the aggregating of the data, samples the data for a second, different type of usage-based function. In other embodiments, systems and machine readable media for monitoring usage of a network are also provided that provide simultaneous generation of data sets for first and second usage-based functions.

Abstract: An individual telephone line call event buffering system is disclosed which provides backup memory storage for incoming and outgoing call events, including calling line identification (CLID) information in a computer based telephone line monitoring system when the computer or its call processing application software is off-line. The call event buffering system includes a hardware based call processor, distribution controller and memory system, and a software based computer monitoring system, all of which operate in conjunction with a standard personal computer, a standard telephone line, standard telephone line equipment including, but not limited to, a telephone, facsimile, and modem, and standard telephone central office services including, but not limited to, Caller-ID, distinctive ring, call transfer, forwarding and conferencing, voice mail, and visual message waiting.
