For big networks, the method provides basically decentralized radio resource management. The RRMA method is useful to cellular networks having a single set of orthogonal sub-channels (frequency/time slots) being reused by all network cells, such as time division multiple access (TDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), or OFDMA/TDMA cellular systems. Particularly, the method is applicable in fractional frequency reuse cellular networks. | 09-30-2010 |

20080310991 | Perishable-fruit-bearing cut-limb preservation and distribution method, coating and shipping container therefor - A method of preserving fruit-bearing cut-limbs from cutting at an orchard to receiving by a remote consumer includes cutting a live, fruit-bearing limb off a fruit tree in an orchard; and bagging the cut limb with perforated film substantially to seal the limb therein substantially continuously from the time of cutting at the orchard to the time of receiving by the remote consumer. After the cutting and before the bagging, the method can include dipping the cut end of the limb in a solution of water substantially continuously from cutting at the orchard to receiving by the remote consumer and/or coating the cut limb including the fruit and leaves thereon using a moisture-retentive agent. A perishable-fruit distribution method includes cutting an intact fruit- and leaf-bearing limb from a live tree in an orchard; treating the cut-limb to extend the useful life of the intact fruit and leaf thereon; placing the treated cut-limb with the intact fruit and leaf thereon in a shipping container; and delivering the treated, containerized cut-limb with the intact fruit and leaf thereon within the shipping container to a consumer remote from the orchard. A coating and a shipping container also are described and claimed. | 12-18-2008 |

20140176294 | POWER RESISTOR WITH INTEGRATED HEAT SPREADER - An integrated assembly includes a resistor and a heat spreader. The resistor includes a resistive element and terminals. The heat spreader is integrated with the resistor and includes a heat sink of thermally conducting and electrically insulating material and terminations of a thermally conducting material and situated at an edge of the heat sink. At least a portion of a top surface of the resistive element is in thermally conductive contact with the heat sink. Each resistor terminal is in thermally conductive contact with a corresponding termination of the heat sink. A method of fabricating an integrated assembly of a resistor and a heat spreader includes forming the heat spreader, forming the resistor, and joining the heat spreader to the resistor by bonding at least a portion of a top surface of the resistive element to the heat sink and bonding each electrically conducting terminal to a corresponding termination. | 06-26-2014 |

20090179436 | POSITIVE ACTION LOCK FOR SLIDING WINDOWS - A sliding window system can be equipped with a latch or lock mechanism. The lock mechanism can include a lock base mounted on a sliding sash of a window assembly opposite a keeper. The latch bolt of lock mechanism can be received in the keeper to latch the sashes together. A trigger is operably coupled with the latch bolt. To open the window, the lock mechanism is disengaged from the keeper by grasping a pull handle and pulling outwardly away from the window. As a result, the bolt moves to a retracted position within the lock base and a portion of the trigger extends out of the lock base, with the window capable of movement into an open position. When closing the window, the trigger contacts the keeper, releasing the bolt under the bias of a spring into the keeper, thus locking the window. | 07-16-2009 |

20130061450 | MULTI-PURPOSE BEADING FOR SWIMMING POOL LINERS - An elongate beading for attaching a pool liner to a pool wall includes a substantially planar liner attachment portion having an outer surface for attachment to a pool liner and a hook portion having a pair of opposed first and second legs interconnected by a connector portion. The first and second legs and connector portion have inner surfaces defining a channel and the first leg is substantially coplanar with the liner attachment portion. The second leg defines with the connector portion a downwardly facing shoulder and includes a narrowing intermediate its ends which defines first and second sections, the second section being the free end portion which is separable from the first section. The free end portion tapers outwardly from the narrowing towards its free end, includes a plurality of spaced apart raised ribs on its surfaces and terminates in an enlarged protuberance. | 03-14-2013 |

20160070451 | Graphical User Interface that Simplifies User Creation of Custom Calculations for Data Visualizations - A method generates a graphical representation of a data source using a graphical user interface. The user interface includes a schema information region and a data visualization region. The schema information region includes field names associated with data fields. The data visualization region includes shelf regions that determine characteristics of a visual graphic. Each shelf region is configured to receive user placement of field names. The user selects field names and places each field name in a respective shelf region. The user edits a first shelf region, creating a first calculated element in the first shelf region. The first calculated element does not match any of the field names in the schema information region. The method generates a visual graphic based on the content of the shelf regions, including the user-selected field names and the first calculated element, and displays the visual graphic in the data visualization region. | 03-10-2016 |

20140312832 | SLIDABLE CHARGING TRANSMITTER POSITION ADJUSTING STRUCTURE OF WIRELESS CHARGING DEVICE - A slidable charging transmitter position adjusting structure for a wireless charging device includes at least one through slot formed in a selected position of a cover or a base of a wireless charging device to extend in a push direction, and at least one guide section formed on a bottom plate. A slidable seat includes a push section and counterpart guide structures. The slidable seat is slidably coupled to the guide section of the base through the counterpart guide structures so that the push section is operable by means of pushing to have the slidable seat moving in the receiving space of the base in the push direction. | 10-23-2014 |
