Patent number: 7962151Abstract: A user who loses or has stolen his wireless telephone can access an Internet server that prompts the phone to send to the server (and, hence, the user) the GPS location of the phone. Also, when a wireless telephone reaches a low voltage state, indicating the imminent loss of the ability to call the phone to cause it to ring as a location aid, the phone automatically sends its last GPS location to the server.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2007Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: David John Blackman, Jennifer Lee-Baron, David Wayne Wall, Peter Hamilton Wetsel

Patent number: 7933865Abstract: A method is disclosed for autonomic large file marking. A threshold module sets the file size threshold. An identification module identifies each file with a file size that exceeds the file size threshold and that is unmarked with a limited backup status. A marking module marks with the limited backup status each identified file that satisfies a marking policy and exceeds the file size threshold and is unmarked for the limited backup status. Each file marked with the limited backup status is backed up with a single backup instance of the file and excluded from subsequent backup operations.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2009Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Joshua James Jankowsky, Jennifer J. Lee-Baron, David Wayne Wall, Peter Hamilton Wetsel

Patent number: 7702664Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for autonomic large file marking. A threshold module sets a file size threshold. An identification module identifies each file that exceeds the file size threshold and that is not marked with a limited backup status. A user interface module may query a user if each identified file is to be marked. In response to a user direction to mark the identified file, the marking module may mark with the limited backup status each identified file. In an embodiment, the marking module selects a limited backup status from an exclusion backup status and a single storage backup status.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2006Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Joshua James Jankowsky, Jennifer J. Lee-Baron, David Wayne Wall, Peter Hamilton Wetsel

Publication number: 20090228572Abstract: The present invention includes a system, methods, and technology platform for instantly creating, delivering, updating, deploying, and inherently tracking one or more unique, multimedia rich, email and web-based communications campaigns or rich media presentations—all without any technical knowledge. Each rich media presentation created with the invention may consist of a unique, pre-defined collection of separately trackable interactive content elements which are programmatically collected, arranged and displayed as part of a complete audiovisual presentation. Upon distribution of such a presentation, tracking data from the viewer's interaction with the presentation may be retrieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2006Publication date: September 10, 2009Inventors: Wayne Wall, Richard DiBona, Thomas Edward Cmejla

Publication number: 20080218380Abstract: Intelligent traffic control devices that are spatially distributed at strategic locations on streets, highways, and intersections communicate bi-directional complex information to control the movement of various users in a safe and efficient manner. The intelligence of the traffic control devices is based on the capability of each device to operate in manners normally associated with computer-based controls. Such actions include the ability to react to complex instructions, perform logical and arithmetical computations, make records of sequences of events, perform self-diagnostic assessments, take reliable and predictable autonomous actions, and communicate information collected from environmental sensors or internal state of operation. Such devices may contain varying degrees of binary coded descriptions that describe device capability and performance characteristics to other traffic control devices that may require access to sensory information and/or control functions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2006Publication date: September 11, 2008Inventors: Richard Wayne Wall, Andrew Parris Huska

Patent number: 7389409Abstract: Electronic device configuration management systems and methods are disclosed. Configuration information for configuring at least one component of an electronic device is stored in a memory. A determination is made as to whether further configuration information capable of configuring the at least one component is available at the electronic device. Based on the determination, one of the configuration information and the further configuration information is loaded to configure the at least one component. The determination may be made, for example, by accessing compatibility information which is associated with the configuration information. Data structures supporting configuration management functions are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2005Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Sheldon Keith John Swanson, Kenneth Glenn MacQueen, Joseph Soetemans, Tim Kuhl, Wayne Wall

Patent number: 6473398Abstract: A packet switched network includes a network manager for managing resources on the network and a plurality of switch nodes. A congestion indicator threshold is (Cir) for each resource at each switch node and congestion event indicator is forwarded to the network manager immediately upon the congestion level of a monitored resource exceeding its congestion threshold. A congestion status for the monitored resources of each switch node is maintained by the network manager.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1999Date of Patent: October 29, 2002Assignee: Alcatel Canada Inc.Inventors: Wayne Wall, Micaela Giuhat, Johanne Mayer, Felix Katz

Patent number: 6075771Abstract: In a communications system, a method is described for controlling the excess usage of a finite resource through which information flows by a plurality of sources having an "excess" state. For each source a determination is made as to whether the source is in the excess state. If the excess information rate is less than a predetermined fair information rate, the information is passed to the resource. If the excess information rate is greater than the fair information rate, the information is discarded.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1997Date of Patent: June 13, 2000Assignee: Newbridge Networks CorporationInventors: Mark Wolff, Wayne Wall

Patent number: 5061215Abstract: A river raft comprising a first solid pontoon having a hollow interior and a second solid pontoon also having a hollow interior. The first and second pontoons are connected together in a manner so as to define a central portion between the pontoons. The central portion has a depth of less than that of the first and second pontoons. Hatches are formed through the first end second pontoons so as to provide access to the hollow interiors. These hatches are detachably mounted to the upper surface of the pontoons. The first and second pontoons are of a symmetrical configuration. A spar tube connects these symmetrical configurations of pontoons such that the pontoons are maintained in fixed juxtaposition against one another. The first and second pontoons are made of a roto-molded plastic material. The central portion of the raft includes a plurality of openings extending therethrough. These openings are suitable for the receipt of ice chests, water bottles, and other items.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1989Date of Patent: October 29, 1991Inventor: H. Wayne Walls

Patent number: 5013270Abstract: A raft comprising a first pontoon, a second pontoon, a framework detachably connected to the first and second pontoons and positioned on the top surface of the first and second pontoons, and a floor connected to the framework so as to define a surface extending on the framework above the first and second pontoons. Each of the pontoons has an upwardly tilted pointed forward and rearward end. The framework comprises a plurality of segmented and connected longitudinal members and crossmembers extending across the pontoon. Each of the longitudinal members and crossmembers is made of a plurality of detachable sections. The floor includes a mesh netting saddle surfaces, and solid decking.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1989Date of Patent: May 7, 1991Inventor: H. Wayne Walls
