20130055848 | BREAK-AWAY RETAINER FOR INSTALLATION OF PARK BRAKE - Provided is a retainer for assisting in installation of a parking brake actuator for use in a vehicle by limiting relative movement of an input lever and a mounting bracket. The retainer has a first part and a second part connected via frangible connection(s). The first part of the retainer is fixed relative to a mounting bracket and the second part is fixed relative to the input lever (via a pivot member). After installation, the lever is moved from its first, installation position to a second, in-use position. The application of force and movement of the lever rotates the pivot member, which rotates the second part of the retainer relative to the first part thereby breaking the frangible connection(s). The input lever of the brake actuator is then ready for use to apply or release brakes of the vehicle. | 03-07-2013 |

20110021190 | Network Selection Methods And Apparatus With Home Network Prioritization After Network Signal Recovery Or Power-On - A network selection method for a mobile station which is associated with a Home Public Land Mobile Network (HPLMN) identified by a home Mobile Network Code (MNC) and Mobile Country Code (MCC) pair. The mobile station identifies a plurality of PLMNs in a geographic area, and selects a non-home PLMN identified by a non-home MNC/MCC pair and designated as a Registered PLMN (RPLMN). In response to regaining signal coverage from an out-of-coverage condition with the RPLMN, or being powered-on from a power-off state entered while operating with the RPLMN, the mobile station selects the HPLMN if the HPLMN identified by the home MNC/MCC pair is available. Otherwise, if the HPLMN is unavailable and the RPLMN identified by the non-home MNC/MCC pair is available, the mobile station selects the RPLMN. However, if the RPLMN is unavailable, the mobile station selects an alternate PLMN in accordance with an automatic or manual network selection method. | 01-27-2011 |

20140059112 | AUTOMATED CORRECTION AND REPORTING FOR DYNAMIC WEB APPLICATIONS - A run-time application-generated change to dynamic web content, generated during an application run-time by a dynamic web application, is detected in response to user run-time interactions with the dynamic web content rendered by the dynamic web application that changed the dynamic web content during the run-time. The detected run-time application-generated change to the dynamic web content is parsed. The parsed run-time application-generated change to the dynamic web content is compared with web content compliance rules that define specifications for web content representation. A noncompliant element associated with the parsed run-time application-generated change is identified based upon the comparison with the web content compliance rules. A run-time correction of the identified noncompliant element within the dynamic web content changed by the dynamic web application is performed to cause the identified noncompliant element to comply with the web content compliance rules. | 02-27-2014 |
20150082139 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SYNDICATING INTERACTIONS BETWEEN A CLIENT AND A WEB SERVICE - The Syndicated Web Services Client (SWSC) uses RSS/ATOM feeds, to facilitate asynchronous interactions between a computerized client and a web service, without requiring a duplicate copy of the web service application on the computerized client. The web service packages a form, such as an XForm containing interactive fields used by the web service, in a RSS/ATOM feed item. The web service sends the RSS/ATOM feed item to a computerized client, wherein the computerized client is a subscriber to the web service's RSS/ATOM feed and the computerized client is in network communication with a server hosting the web service. The computerized client displays the form for use by a user. Responsive to the user of the computerized client manipulating interactive fields in the form, the computerized client packages the manipulated form in a return. RSS/ATOM feed item. The computerized client sends the return RSS/ATOM feed item to the server hosting the web service, wherein the server is a subscriber to the computerized client's return RSS/ATOM feed. | 03-19-2015 |

20150098526 | MULTI-BRANCH DOWN CONVERTING FRACTIONAL RATE CHANGE FILTER - A method of filtering an input sample stream having a downsampling rate is disclosed to generate an output sample stream having an upsampling rate that is less than the downsampling rate. The input sample stream is input to a rate change filter having multiple filter branches. The input sample stream is filtered at each of the multiple filter branches to output filtered sample substreams. Each of the multiple filter branches have filter coefficients corresponding to a different phase of the filter response. The filtered sample substreams are stored in a memory and the stored filtered sample substreams are combined to generate the output sample stream. | 04-09-2015 |

20130245976 | Measurement of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio of Antenna System - The present invention provides methods and apparatus to detect the presence of interferers in a wideband digital VSWR measurement signal. Interferers cause power differences over different intervals of time and frequency, and may be detected by comparing the measured signals in both time and frequency domains with the original signal. Frequency components in the measured signals may be discarded if the interference is deemed too large. The remaining frequency components can then be used to compute the VSWR. | 09-19-2013 |
