20090049159Method and Apparatus for Setting Up and Managing Operational Environment in P2P Wireless Networks - In a cognitive radio, a method of establishing an operational policy for use in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) group, wherein the policy can be described by layers of policy parameters with progressively higher layers having a progressively increasing number of parameters, involves determining that a policy change is to be made from a current policy; requesting policy information from at least one P2P group member; receiving a policy description from the at least one P2P group member; and implementing a change in the lowest layer policy parameter to establish a new operational policy.02-19-2009
20090197627METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING TRANSMIT POWER AND INCUMBENT PROTECTION IN A COGNITIVE RADIO SYSTEM - A cognitive radio (CR) device (08-06-2009
20090245119COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM FOR EXCHANGING SPECTRUM SENSING MEASUREMENTS THROUGH A DROP BOX AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A communications system and method for exchanging spectrum usage information through a drop box (10-01-2009
20110156781DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PHASE COMPENSATION - A frequency generation unit is provided that permits a receiver to tune from channel to channel without cycle skipping and in which compensation for phase offset introduced during tuning is provided. The frequency generation unit includes a fractional-N synthesizer, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a direct digital synthesizer (DDS). The fractional-N synthesizer generates frequencies from the VCO as well as a temperature controlled crystal oscillator. Outputs from the fractional-N synthesizer are supplied both the VCO and the DDS to control the VCO and DDS. The combination of the voltage controlled oscillator and fractional-N synthesizer is perpetually locked. The fractional-N synthesizer is maintained in a locked condition. The VCO output is provided to the DDS. An output from the DDS or from the fractional-N synthesizer forms the output signal of the frequency generation unit.06-30-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080304076SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PACKAGING AND MOUNTING READOUT AND LASER INTENSITY MONITOR SENSORS - Methods and apparatus for applying sensors to a ring laser gyro. An example apparatus includes a housing having a cavity, a laser intensity monitor (LIM) sensor mechanically and electrically connected within the cavity of the housing, and a readout sensor mechanically and electrically connected within the cavity of the housing. The LIM sensor and readout sensor are connected within the housing based on predetermined light output properties of a sensor mirror of a ring laser gyro. When the readout sensor is properly aligned with the sensor mirror, then the LIM sensor is automatically aligned with the sensor mirror.12-11-2008

20090271283Network Media Distribution - A network media distribution system includes a web server. The web server generates web data defining a plurality of web pages of a web site. Media items are stored on a media database which is accessible to the web server. The web server distributes the media items through the web site. In one example embodiment the media distribution system includes both user generated content that is distributed for free and content provided by publishers that is distributed for a fee. Methods are also disclosed.10-29-2009
