Abstract: A system, and method for isometric exercise that safely reduces resting blood pressure and increases overall cardiovascular health. An apparatus includes a handle or grip configured to provide natural resistance to force and maximize user comfort and the system includes squeezing the handle or grip of the apparatus with a force that is less than the maximum squeeze force of the user, thereby reducing blood flow through contracting arm muscles and safely increasing blood pressure during exercise. Resting blood pressure is reduced through regular use of the system. The method includes measuring and recording the maximum squeeze force of a user, calculating a fractional force using the duration of exercise or a desired fractional force percentage, and alternately inducing the user to apply the fractional force for a calculated time and inducing the user to apply a lesser fractional force or no force for a calculated time.

The seal member may also have a first outer surface that touches a second outer surface in one of the resting states.

Abstract: A communication system implements a method of bidirectional communication of signals to/from one or more wireless transmit locations. Transmitting signals to one or more wireless transmit locations includes obtaining a plurality of signals having different protocols, from a plurality of base stations, then converting the plurality of signals into common digital network protocol signals, and transmitting the common protocol signals over a transmission network to one or more wireless transmit locations. Receiving signals from one or more wireless transmit locations includes transmitting digital signals using a common protocol, from one or more wireless receive locations over the transmission network, converting the received digital signals into a plurality of signals having different protocols corresponding to a plurality of base stations implementing said different protocols, and providing the plurality of differing protocol signals to said corresponding plurality of base stations.

Abstract: A system and method allowing engineers to create large scale, consumer oriented, distributed applications that utilize peer to peer messaging patterns and service oriented architectures. Applications built using the method produce operational cost curves typical of successful peer to peer systems. The system includes mechanisms to deal with reliably and securely sending messages over consumer grade networks that are inherently unreliable and insecure while still permitting direct, consumer-to-consumer messaging by virtue of an extensible Network Address Translation traversal strategy. The system and method allows for the creation of consumer applications by facilitating the identification, location and assembly of services running in a network on a plurality of devices. While the application of the system and method to the distribution of large digital media is readily apparent, the system and method is, in no way, limited to this domain.

Abstract: A method and system enable the automatic generation of a call processing control record. A user creates a schedule entry comprising a plurality of data entries on an electronic scheduler. The data entries are transmitted from the electronic scheduler to a call processing control record generator. The data entries are compared with stored data. In response to the data entries, the call processing control record generator generates a call processing control record which can be stored in a call processing control record database. The call processing control record can be used to forward calls or transmit an announcement to the calling party.

Abstract: The invention relates to an error correcting decoder apparatus (100) and method. The decoder apparatus (100) comprises a likelihood estimator (101) which generates a sequence of bit value likelihood estimates, such as log likelihood ratios, for multi bit symbols of a data sequence. The decoder apparatus (100) further comprises a decoder element (103), such as a Maximum A Priori (MAP) or appropriate Soft Output Viterbi decoder. The decoder element (103) generates a decoded data sequence in response to the bit value likelihood estimates. The decoder apparatus (100) also comprises a weighted processor (105) which generates a weighted compensation data sequence from the decoded data sequence. The weighted compensation data is used to modify the sequence of bit value likelihood estimates. The decoding is subsequently repeated using the improved bit value likelihood estimates whereby improved decoding performance is achieved.
