20100002723 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING BANDWIDTH BASED ON A TIME OF DAY PROFILE - A method for expanding a data connection. A first user selection of a first profile is received from a plurality of profiles. The first profile selected by the user is implemented. A determination of a current time is made. Bandwidth available to the user is increased through a data connection in response to determining that the first profile allows for the bandwidth increase at the current time. A second user selection of a second profile is selected from the plurality of profiles. The second profile being implemented to adjust the bandwidth available to the user. | 01-07-2010 |
20100280934 | DYNAMIC BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION - A method for managing bandwidth to a user. A selection of a profile is received from a plurality of profiles. The profile is selected to allocate bandwidth to a user. The selection of the profile for allocating bandwidth to the user through a connection is determined. The bandwidth is allocated to the connection in response to determining the profile provides for a bandwidth reconfiguration. | 11-04-2010 |

20140102570 | FAUCET ASSEMBLY - A faucet assembly for dispensing liquid from a beverage source includes a housing having a body and a cover coupled to the body. The body is configured to mount to a structure associated with the beverage source. The cover is movable relative to the body while the body is connected to the structure to provide access to an interior of the housing. The faucet assembly also includes an insert positioned within the housing in fluid communication with the beverage source to direct the liquid through the housing. The insert is removable from the housing when the cover is moved to provide access to the interior of the housing. The faucet assembly further includes an actuator supported by the housing. The actuator is movable relative to the housing to selectively inhibit fluid flow through the insert. | 04-17-2014 |

20090273471 | Method of Operating a Networked CBRNE Detection System - A CBRNE detection system and method for operating same are disclosed. The method provides a relatively increased Probability of Detection and a relatively decreased Probability of False Alarms for a networked system of detectors. In the illustrative embodiment, a central controller of the system is capable of receiving information from individual CBRNE detectors and of determining whether or not to issue an alarm indicating that a CBRNE event has occurred. Data obtained from individual CBRNE detectors is evaluated based on one or more “sensor alert-to-system alarm” processing modes. The various processing modes specify the requirements that must be satisfied before a system-wide “alarm” is issued. | 11-05-2009 |
