| 20080233887 | Classmark Change Message System and Method - A mobile station is provided. The mobile station includes a processor programmed to promote sending a classmark change message responsive to receiving a command from a network, wherein the command requires a capability that the mobile station does not possess. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20100279679 | Methods and Apparatus for Handling Measurement Reports - A network comprising a component configured to update an active set (AS) of cells based on a collective consideration of a plurality of cell measurement reports received during radio reconfiguration. Also included is a user equipment (UE), comprising a component configured such that the UE combines a plurality of cell measurement reports triggered briefly before and/or during radio reconfiguration, the combined measurement report used to update an AS of cells. Also included is a method comprising transmitting a radio bearer reconfiguration message, receiving a plurality of cell measurement reports, receiving a radio bearer reconfiguration complete message, and updating a plurality of AS cells using the combined cell measurement reports. Also included is a method comprising receiving a radio bearer reconfiguration message, obtaining a plurality of cell measurement reports, and sending a combined cell measurement report based on the cell measurement reports. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20120155383 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCANNING FOR CELLS IN A CELLULAR NETWORK - Provided is a method and apparatus for scanning for cells in a cellular network. Upon an event triggering scanning while a mobile device resides in a current cell of a cellular network, the mobile device scans for at least one cell purported by the cellular network to neighbor the current cell. In accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure, the mobile device also scans for at least one other cell that is not purported by the cellular network to neighbor the current cell. This occurs promptly without waiting for completion of the scanning for cells purported by the cellular network to neighbor the current cell. Advantageously, in the case of poor network planning, the mobile device might promptly acquire a cell that is not purported by the cellular network to neighbor the current cell but nonetheless offers coverage in vicinity of the current cell. | 06-21-2012 |

| 20080302889 | LIQUEFYING DE-WATERED SLUDGE PREPARATORY TO DRYING - Sewage sludge that has been de-watered to 25% solids is subjected to a combination of shearing and heating that liquefies the sludge, and drops its viscosity to below 12,000 cP. The fact of liquefaction prepares the sludge such that subsequent drying can be done more cost-effectively than hitherto. After drying, the dried sludge can be incinerated. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090107920 | SLUDGE TREATMENT SYSTEM - When liquefying sludge, e.g as in U.S. Pat. No. 6,808,636, the combination of temperature, pH, and shearing, is synergistic. Described here is a system that provides for collating test sampling and full-scale data inputs, recording achieved results and the engineering parameters that achieved those particular results. The data is presented in e.g a table format, which assists design engineers to zero-in on the combinations of parameters that will likely give the desired results. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20100089823 | FEEDBACK SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING ELIMINATION OF BIOMASS IN SEWAGE SLUDGE - Already-treated sludge is fed back into incoming sewage, and is effective to supply nutrients needed for the microbiological breakdown of the sludge. The feedback sludge has a solids content of 10% or more, and has been sheared and heated to drive its viscosity down to 10,000 cP or less. In sludge done that way, nutrients are preserved and presented to the sewage to be treated in highly liquidised and solubilised form, whereby the nutrients are very bio-available to the microbes in the sewage. Large improvements in the elimination of biomass can result. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100223969 | LOWERING VISCOSITY OF BIOSOLIDS - Sewage sludge is dewatered to a cake-like state. The viscosity of the sludge is lowered by admixing a quantity of urea, urea-ammonium-nitrate, or other nitrogen-containing material, in with the dewatered sludge. The treatment also removes pathogens, and renders the product suitable for use as a fertilizer. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20090319772 | IN-LINE CONTENT BASED SECURITY FOR DATA AT REST IN A NETWORK STORAGE SYSTEM - A network storage server receives multiple write requests from a set of clients via a network and internally buffers multiple data blocks written by the write requests. At a consistency point, the storage server commits the data blocks to a nonvolatile mass storage facility. The consistency point process includes using a storage operating system in the network storage server to compress the data blocks, encrypt selected data blocks, and store the compressed and (possibly) encrypted data blocks in the nonvolatile mass storage facility. Data blocks can also be fingerprinted in parallel with compression and/or encryption, to facilitate subsequent deduplication. Data blocks can be indexed and classified according to content or attributes of the data. Encryption can be applied at different levels of logical container granularity, where a separate, unique cryptographic key is used for each encrypted logical container. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20120017046 | UNIFIED MANAGEMENT OF STORAGE AND APPLICATION CONSISTENT SNAPSHOTS - A storage management application of a storage array is operable to create a new volume on the storage device array, and to automatically configure, responsive to user selection of an application protection profile, data protection services for application data to be stored on the volume, and/or, responsive to user selection of an application performance profile, application specific performance parameters. The application protection profile specifies scheduling and replication of snapshots for application data to be stored on the volume, and the application performance profile specifies performance parameters such as setting a block size, enabling or modifying a data caching algorithm, turning on or modifying data compression, etc. The scheduling, replication and/or application performance may be managed by a daemon associated with the storage management application which communicates with an agent associated with an application server on which the application executes. | 01-19-2012 |
