Alison Dana Bick, Short Hills, NJ US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120057782Method and apparatus for testing water quality using a cell-phone application, mirror and plastic bag - The present disclosure teaches a practical method and apparatus for providing accurate, economic drinking water testing using materials available worldwide: a mirror 03-08-2012

Andrew Bick, Camberley GB

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090219260TOUCHPAD - A portable electronic apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has a body portion and input means in the form of a touchpad. The touchpad is movable between a first relative position where it operates in a first mode, and a second relative position where it operates in a second mode. The touchpad is capable of receiving input data from one or both of its operational surfaces, so providing greater flexibility.09-03-2009

20090106694APPARATUS, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR AFFECTING AN ARRANGEMENT OF SELECTABLE ITEMS - Provided is an apparatus that includes a processing unit configured to monitor a quality of user performance in selecting one or more selectable items that are presented on a display. The processing unit is further configured to cause the one or more selectable items to be presented on the display in a modified arrangement based at least in part on the quality of user performance in respectively selecting the one or more selectable items. For example, the processing unit can be configured to cause the selectable items to be presented in a modified arrangement based at least in part on noted frequency of user error in respectively selecting the selectable items and/or on noted rate of user selection in respectively selecting the selectable items. Also provided are corresponding methods and computer program products.04-23-2009
20100178955MOBILE DEVICE COMPRISING A NAVIGATION DEVICE - A mobile device (07-15-2010

Ernest T. Bick, Newhall, CA US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100014387System and Method for Automatic Detection of a Sonar Contact - Systems and methods are provided for automatically detecting sonar contacts. The system comprises a data analyzer that integrates the raw data from a plurality of sonar detectors over a predetermined period of time, thereby providing integrated data characterizing a sonar image on a sonar display. A Hough transform module is configured to employ a Hough transform algorithm that transforms at least a portion of the integrated data to detect a substantially straight line in the sonar image.01-21-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080267059Methods and arrangements to determine a reception of a signal - Methods and arrangements for wireless communications are described. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to receive from a transmitter a signal representing a known sequence of symbols. The signal may be transmitted over a plurality of sub channels. The embodiments may also include determining channel responses at the sub channels and determining a reception of the known sequence. The determining may include treating the channel responses at the sub channels in a differential manner to cancel out channel phase responses and obtain channel amplitudes. In some embodiments, the cancelling may be performed by multiplying frequency domain values representing reception of a sub channel by the complex conjugate of frequency domain values of a neighboring sub channel. Many embodiments may also include calculating a carrier to interference and noise ratio (CINR) of the signal. In several embodiments, the signal may represent the preamble of a wireless frame.10-30-2008
20090003471OFDM signal acquisition - In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a method defining order and means in which physical parameters of a received OFDM signal may be detected. A fractional frequency offset is determined for the OFDM signal and is used to determine a coarse location for received signal preamble. A symbol boundary is determined based on the coarse location and the course location is used to determine preamble location. A preamble sequence and integer frequency offset is determined based on the preamble location.01-01-2009

Thad Bick, Berkey, OH US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090301779EARTH BORING DEVICE - An earth boring device for forming horizontally extending bore holes beneath the surface of the earth and installing a conduit therein without substantially disturbing the surface of the earth is disclosed. The earth boring device is a generally elongate member having a cutting tool disposed at a leading end, and means to attach a conduit to be disposed in the bore hole at a trailing end. A pair of spaced apart drive augers is disposed between the leading end and the trailing end to propel the earth boring device through the earth. The earth boring device can include at least one flexible section to enable a bending of the earth boring device for boring a curved bore hole.12-10-2009
