20110188205 | ACTIVE ANTENNA ARRAY HEATSINK - An active array heat sink cooled by natural free convection is disclosed. A long extruded heat sink is partitioned into multiple, shorter zones separated by gaps having horizontal baffles. The gaps and baffles serve to act as air vents and air inlets for the convection currents. As such, the heat transfer for the overall heat sink is improved because hot convection currents are vented and replaced by cool ambient air along the length of the heat sink. | 08-04-2011 |
20110244892 | PICO BASE STATION LOCATION AND ANALYSIS USING MOBILE DEVICES - A base station analysis system and method that may employ commercially-available mobile device platforms is disclosed. The base station analysis application enables a service technician to locate nearby base stations in the field, determine which base stations are functioning properly, and retrieve information associated with the base stations. The mobile device displays nearby base stations on a street map relative to the location of the mobile device in an embodiment. The mobile device preferably displays the spatially-varying signal strength for the active base stations to enable the service technician to locate dead spots in the coverage. The mobile device displays a reality augmented view having graphical icons which represent base stations embedded within a street-view image obtained by the mobile device camera in a preferred embodiment. When a service technician selects a base station icon, installation information describing the base station is provided. | 10-06-2011 |

20090300589 | Electronic Crime Detection and Tracking - A system for electronic crime reduction is provided, comprising a computer system, a database, a malware de-compiler, a malware parser, and an inference engine. The database contains information that associates electronic crime attack signature data with at least one of an individual, a group, and a location. The malware de-compiler, when executed on the computer system, translates a first malware executable to an assembly language version. The first malware is associated with an electronic crime that has been committed. The malware parser, when executed on the computer system, analyzes the assembly language version to identify distinctive coding preferences used to develop the first malware. The inference engine, when executed on the computer system, analyzes the distinctive coding preferences identified by the malware parser application in combination with searching the database to identify one of an individual, a group, and a location associated with the electronic crime. | 12-03-2009 |
