Patent number: 6983310Abstract: A system and method for enabling users to send and receive messages and other information from mobile devices and enabling users to access server-based information using mobile devices over wireless data networks are disclosed. The present invention further provides search capabilities on a wireless device. Search criteria may include searching messages (e.g., emails, memos, and/or other correspondences and documents) based on various fields, such as sender, date, subject and other parts of a message. Other search criteria may also be used. The present invention may also provide an application search form to perform various search functions. A search form may contain a formula field where the field may contain a select formula that may be evaluated on the server for the search operation. This formula typically may reference other fields on the search form.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2000Date of Patent: January 3, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew Rouse, Quinton Zondervan, Thomas Bentley, Timothy Lawson, Christopher Herot

Publication number: 20030107029Abstract: A winch for use in a heave compensation system has a winch drum (42) driven by an AC asynchronous motor (50) via a gearbox (52). The motor (50) is controlled by a variable speed control (58) as a function of heave speed. The motor (50) and its drive train, and the winch (42), are chosen to have low inertia. The winch pays out and reels in to compensate for heave substantially instantaneously, without the need for prediction of wave patterns.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2002Publication date: June 12, 2003Inventors: Kenneth Hanson, Lee Hanson, Mark Andrew Thomas Bentley
