20120003975METHODS OF PERFORMING CELL CHANGE WITHOUT RECEIVING DESCRIPTION OF RESOURCES IN A TARGET CELL - Methods and systems of performing cell change for a circuit-switched call without a mobile station receiving a description of resources in a target cell are provided. In some embodiments, a command is generated at the serving cell which indicates to the mobile station to perform a cell change without first receiving a description of resources in the target cell. In some embodiments, a command is generated at the target cell which may be like a handover command, but which indicates to the mobile station to perform the cell change without an allocation of resources. 01-05-2012

The mobile station also includes a component configured to identify a cell of the first RAT after receiving the permission.11-04-2010
20100279677Identifying Radio Access Technology Characteristics to Mobile Stations System and Method - A method for granting a mobile station permission to attempt to identify a cell of a first radio access technology (RAT) while being served by a cell of a second RAT. The mobile station receives a list of neighbour cells of the second RAT. The list contains at least one identifying characteristic associated with at least one cell of the first RAT. The mobile station identifies at least one cell of the first RAT associated with the at least one identifying characteristic.11-04-2010
20100279691Indicating Radio Access Technology Information to Mobile Stations System and Method - An access node. The access node includes a component configured to communicate with a mobile station operating on one of a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. The component is configured to communicate a permission to the mobile station to attempt to identify a cell of the first RAT in the absence of communicating to the mobile station a first radio access type neighbour cell list for a serving cell of the second RAT.11-04-2010

20080203657Multiplicity of dice boardless game - The invention is a game for two or more players comprised of twelve dice, a cup for shaking and rolling the dice, a score card and game instructions/rules of play. In each round of preferably nine rounds each player in sequence can roll the dice up to three times to complete the dice combination called for in the rules for that given round, referred to as a round goal. When a player achieves a round goal, scoring is based upon the count of the face numbers on the three or more dice required to complete the round goal. A player that fails to achieve the round goal in a particular round scores a zero if that objective is not achieved in three rolls of the dice. The rules provide for the number of dice to be rolled in each round.08-28-2008

20080233212Use of exogenous gaseous nitric oxide in the treatment and disinfection of biofilms - The administration of gaseous nitric oxide as a biocidal moiety is proffered as a de novo treatment in the control and eradication of biofilms. The present invention relates to the use or methods of application of exogenous nitric oxide gas (gNO) as a stand alone biocidal agent or in cohort with any or all adjunct vehicles in the control of biofilms generated by microbial organisms, i.e., bacteria, protozoa, amoeba, fungi etc. Further, the present invention introduces the concept of utilization and methods of application of gaseous nitric oxide in control and eradication of biofilm forming microorganisms. Noteworthy areas of application are offered as examples. They include, and are not limited to, air and/or water heating/cooling distribution systems in facilities such as hospitals and laboratories, surfaces of medical devices, household surfaces, dental plaque, dental and/or medical water treatment lines, industrial pipelines, water treatment and distribution facilities and fluids sterilization. Various specialized delivery apparatus will be designed to facilitate nitric oxide gas administration to each specific unique application. 09-25-2008

20120075192DYNAMICALLY LOCATED ONSCREEN KEYBOARD - A touch-sensitive display surface having touch-capacitive and vibration sensors. This surface allows the user to rest their fingers on the keys of an onscreen keyboard and type as they would on a regular keyboard. As the user places their fingers on the touch screen, the system relocates the onscreen keyboard to the location where the fingers are resting. The touch sensors report the signal strength level of each key touched to a processor, but no keystroke is issued by the processor until a corresponding “tap” (i.e., vibration) is detected. When a tap is detected, the processor references the status of the touch capacitance sensors before, during, and/or immediately after the moment in time the tap occurred. The size, position, and orientation of the onscreen keyboard keys are dynamically set as determined by the user initiating a home-row definition event by resting their fingers momentarily on a virtual home-row.03-29-2012
20120075193MULTIPLEXED NUMERIC KEYPAD AND TOUCHPAD - A method and system that integrates a numeric keypad with a touchpad in the same physical location on a touch-sensitive display device. Operational mode of the same location is automatically determined based on user actions with the display or based on a manual entry by the user. The system operates in at least one mode of operation selected from: numpad mode, touchpad mode, keyboard mode and auto-detect mode. A visual indicator communicates with the user which mode is the current mode.03-29-2012
