Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to a charcoal chimney that may hold charcoal. The charcoal chimney may be formed of a material that is combustible. The charcoal chimney is generally intended as a single use chimney. The charcoal chimney may be associated with a non-toxic fire-retardant or ignition delay substance that delays combustion of the chimney for at least an initial heating phase. The ignition delay substance may be a coating on one or more surfaces of the charcoal chimney. The ignition delay substance may be impregnated or otherwise formed into the material forming the charcoal chimney. The ignition delay substance may be both coated onto and impregnated into the charcoal chimney. The fire-retardant or ignition delay substance is generally intended to delay the combustion of the charcoal chimney for a period of time. The chimney may be provided with suitable air holes to facilitate airflow around the charcoal and within the chimney.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for allocating portions of a frame to a plurality of mobile units including a plurality of frequency subcarrier sets and a plurality of symbols. The method includes determining at least one zone comprising at least one of the plurality of subcarrier sets and at least one of the plurality of symbols and determining a plurality of subzones. Each subzone includes at least one of the plurality of subcarrier sets and at least one of the plurality of symbols in the at least one zone. The method also includes associating each of the plurality of mobile units with at least one of the subzones and allocating a portion of the subcarrier sets and symbols in each subzone to the mobile units associated with each subzone.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of integrating voice and data services onto a same frequency channel using available transmit power information to determine data rates, wherein the available transmit power information indicates an amount of transmit power available for future data transmissions over one or more data channels. In a “distributed” embodiment, a transmitter or base station transmits, via a forward link, an available power message to a receiver or mobile-telephone indicating an amount of available transmit power at some future time t+z. The mobile-telephone performs signal-to-interference measurements corresponding to the received forward link and received interference, and uses such signal-to-interference measurements and the available power message to determine a data rate that can be supported by the mobile-telephone. Preferably, the determined data rate corresponds to a maximum data rate at which a minimum level of quality of service can be achieved at the mobile-telephone.
