20100115731 | ON-THE-GO ADJUSTABLE EXTENSION POLE PROVIDING HANDS-FREE TOOL CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION - A hands-free system for connecting and disconnecting a tool from an adjustable length extension pole. The system includes first and second slidably interconnected elongated members, a tool-holding assembly releasably coupled to the second elongated member, and a locking assembly disposed between the first and second elongated members. The relative sliding of the first and second elongated members can be selectively restrained by rotating the first and second elongated members relative to one another. The tool-holding assembly can be disconnected from the second elongated member by sliding the first and second elongated members together. | 05-13-2010 |
20120272498 | ON-THE-GO ADJUSTABLE EXTENSION POLE PROVIDING HANDS-FREE TOOL CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION - A hands-free system for connecting and disconnecting a tool from an adjustable length extension pole.

The relative sliding of the first and second elongated members can be selectively restrained by rotating the first and second elongated members relative to one another. The tool-holding assembly can be disconnected from the second elongated member by sliding the first and second elongated members together. | 11-01-2012 |

20110158122 | WIRELESS ROUTING SELECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A technique involves untethered access points (UAPs) that can broadcast estimated transmission time (ETT) that represents an estimated time it would take for a packet to be transmitted from the first UAP to an AP that is wire coupled to a network. The proposed system can offer, among other advantages, accurate ETT values for use by UAPs of a wireless network. | 06-30-2011 |
20150063352 | WIRELESS NETWORKING WITH FLEXIBLY-ORDERED RELAYERS - The broadcast nature of wireless communication may be utilized by transmitting a packet frame identifying at least one relay node that can transmit the packet frame without transmitting an acknowledgement frame confirming receipt of the packet frame by a respective relay node. A relay node may cancel a relay obligation to transmit a packet frame based on detecting transmission of the packet frame by another node or based on detection of an acknowledgement frame confirming that a destination node received the packet frame. A transmission chain corresponding to the transmission of a packet frame may be assigned a priority. Alternatively or in addition, a relay node within a transmission chain may be assigned a priority. A priority may determine the amount of delay inserted prior to transmitting a packet frame. | 03-05-2015 |

20100329177 | AP-LOCAL DYNAMIC SWITCHING - A technique for implementing AP-local dynamic switching involves Layer 2 switching. This may be accomplished by providing data associated with wireless stations to an AP sufficient to enable the AP to determine whether traffic from a particular wireless station should be locally switched. Alternatively, the wireless station may be able to determine whether to locally switch traffic based upon the traffic itself. For example, it may be desirable to AP-locally switch voice traffic to avoid latency, which is particularly detrimental to voice transmissions such as voice-over-IP. Traffic that is not to be switched locally is Layer 2 tunneled upstream. | 12-30-2010 |
20140364130 | UNTETHERED ACCESS POINT MESH SYSTEM AND METHOD - A technique for implementing an untethered access point (UAP) mesh involves enabling AP-local switching at one or more UAPs of the mesh. A system constructed according to the technique may include a wireless switch; an access point (AP) wire-coupled to the wireless switch; and a UAP mesh, wirelessly coupled to the AP, including a UAP with an AP-local switching engine embodied in a computer-readable medium. Another system constructed according to the technique may include an untethered access point (UAP), including: a radio; a backhaul service set identifier (SSID) stored in a computer-readable medium; an anchor access point (AAP) selection engine embodied in a computer-readable medium. In operation, the AAP selection engine may use the radio to attempt to associate with the AAP if a beaconed backhaul SSID matches the stored backhaul SSID. A method according to the technique may include beaconing with a backhaul SSID; acting in concert with an upstream switch as an authenticator for a downstream station that responds to the beacon; providing limited local switching functionality for the downstream station. | 12-11-2014 |

20100197740 | Method of Screening Compounds Having Anti-Amyloid Properties - The invention relates to a method of screening compounds having anti-amyloid properties. The method of screening compounds that are capable of dissociating or preventing high-affinity complexes between β-amyloid peptides and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of human cortical tissues makes it possible to rapidly identify compounds intended for the curative and/or preventive treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease. | 08-05-2010 |

20100188932 | Low Power Sensor System - A sensor for a vehicle that conserves power by alternately switching between a power on and a reduced power state. The circuit compares a most recent sensor measurement with an earlier measurement while in the power-on state and then switches to a reduced power state. A time delay generation function determines when the circuit switches out of the reduced power state depending on the result of the comparison. The duration of the reduced power state can be increased depending on the similarity of the most recent measurement to an earlier measurement. | 07-29-2010 |
