20110010336 | Computerized System And Method For Tracking The Geographic Relevance Of Website Listings And Providing Graphics And Data Regarding The Same - The present invention generally relates to a computerized system and method for tracking and displaying data identifying the geographic relevance of website listings on Internet search engines, parked web pages, ISP redirect web pages, and other similar web listing services without requiring extra input from Internet users. Each time an Internet user clicks on a website link provided on one of these web services, the software of the present invention tracks that person's decision in selecting the link, along with his or her geographic location. The software automatically collects and stores this information in a database in a format that can be quickly accessed and used in the future when other Internet users perform the same keyword search or visit the parked/redirect page again. Based on this stored information, the software automatically sends signals to the Internet user's computer that causes his or her web browser to display data and graphics that indicate whether the websites listed on the web page has been frequently visited and found to be popular by other Internet users in various geographic areas. As a result, the software of the present invention enables search engines, parked/redirect web pages, and other similar web services to be automatically organized by popularity within a geographic region. Moreover, each time data is collected by this software (e.g., when a user selects a link), the search engine and parked page will grow naturally and intelligently, thereby becoming more and more useful to the Internet user. | 01-13-2011 |

20090225718 | TECHNIQUES FOR SETTING UP TRAFFIC CHANNELS IN A COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - A control channel supporting traffic control in epochs is divided into two control subchannels each being less than or equal to about a half epoch in duration and occurring serially in time. Slot allocation data may be transmitted and received independently over the subchannels. One subchannel may be used for transmitting forward slot allocation data and the other subchannel may be used for transmitting reverse slot allocation data. The channel split into two subchannels may be a paging channel. The forward and reverse slot allocation data may be transmitted between a base station processor and field unit. Forward and reverse traffic data may be staggered by at least about half an epoch. Transmission of traffic data happens within about two epochs after the assignments. | 09-10-2009 |
20090232002 | RANDOM EARLY DETECTION OVER WIRELESS LINKS - Random early detection (RED) controlled loss (i.e., discarding data packets) is determined as a function of change in processing gain assigned by a resource management system in a data network having a communications link between first and second network nodes. Rather than triggering RED controlled loss as a function of buffer levels, triggering is determined as a function of change in processing gain caused by, for example, a change in code rate, modulation technique, error (e.g., bit error rate or frame error rate), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or carrier-to-interference (C/I) level, or a number of traffic code channels or TDMA slots assigned to the nodes. In a wireless data network, this technique may be deployed in a base station or access terminal.

20090262708 | AUTOMATIC REVERSE CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT IN A TWO-WAY TDM COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - To minimize overhead in the allocation of channels, forward and reverse link time slots are automatically assigned in pairs. In particular, rather than requiring a separate process for allocating reverse link channels for the sending of acknowledgment messages in response to receipt of a forward link packet, a different scenario takes place. At the receiving end, such as for valid reception of data on a forward link channel at a central base station site, a reverse link time slot is automatically allocated in a time slot which depends upon the time slot allocation on the forward link. This assists with the rapid return of acknowledgment messages in a reverse link direction which is the predominant direction for such messages in a wireless system wherein most data traffic is Web page oriented. | 10-22-2009 |

Multiple access codes are used that have a defined code repeat period or code epoch. For each such epoch duration, a schedule of assignment of traffic channels to active terminals for each epoch is determined. For each terminal designated as active during the epoch, a list of active channels for such terminal unit is assigned.

20080241802 | Device for drawing lines on a sized sheet of paper and maintaining registration of the paper when it has been removed and is being replaced on the device - Improvements in the instruments for drawing lines using grooves providing the presentation of lines that may be drawn by placing a sheet of paper over the presentation and engaging the sheet of paper with the point of a writing tool with sufficient force to press the engaged part of the paper into a selected groove and then moving the writing tool point within the line, depositing pencil lead or ink from the end of the writing tool on the paper that is pressed into the selected groove to form a line on the paper. The improvements include the provision of registration marks on a clipboard which has the presentation of grooves for lines to be drawn on the upper side of the clipboard, the registration marks acting as guidelines for the precise placement of the sheet of paper on which lines are to be drawn and its retention in that placement by a clip attached to the end of the clipboard and engaging the end of the sheet of paper for such retention. This precise placement of the sheet of paper allows a sheet of paper that has had one or more lines drawn on it in the manner noted above to be removed and later replaced on the clipboard in precisely the same location as it had when the line or lines were earlier drawn on it, with the result that any additional lines to be drawn will be in perfect relation to the lines earlier drawn, and the later drawings and the earlier drawings appear to have been made just as if the sheet of paper had not been removed between such drawings. Various shapes of such marks may be employed. Another major improvement is the provision of a turntable as a part of the upper surface of the clipboard, with the presentation of the array of grooves being in the upper surface of the turntable, and the turntable may be rotated under the sheet of paper to allow the drawing of lines at different angles to each other. The amount of rotation of the turntable is limited to a desired amount of arcuate movement, within ranges of 90°, 180°, 270°, or 360°. Another improvement is the ability to use different turntables having different types of arrays of grooves which are easily substituted as desired, not requiring completely different clipboard assemblies. | 10-02-2008 |
