A processor is provided for adaptively selecting sets of monitored transmission frequencies, for controlling the DDS signal generator, and for processing obtained spectral energy estimates to assess spectral usage data. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20110185059 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING RF TRANSMISSIONS IN FREQUENCY BANDS OF INTEREST ACROSS A GEOGRAPHIC AREA - Wireless devices form a significant portion of equipment forming the source/destination of content transmitted over telecommunications infrastructure together with applications such as RF identification, smart tags, etc. As such the wireless spectrum supports these devices operating to multiple standards, both licensed and unlicensed. In many environments it would be beneficial for a network administrator to know whether the environment and network they are responsible for is compliant to policies established in dependence of the environment/network. The invention provides distributed wireless signal analyzers within the environment/network to provide signal/spectrum analysis and determine whether received signals by the wireless signal analyzer are compliant to the network administrator policy. Compliance may be based upon time or frequency domain measurements with different rules for different wireless spectrum regions. Non-compliance is communicated to remote servers and/or network administrator and allows local control of network equipment. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20120290627 | WRITE AGENT DELAYED WRITE TO DATA STORES - The reliable writing of data to multiple data stores using a write agent. The overall write operation is managed by a write manager that is communicatively coupled to the write agent and to a certain data store. Upon determined that multiple data stores are to be written to, the write manager first instructs the write agent to perform a delay write to other data store(s). The delay write means that the write agents waits a delay time before performing the write unless instructed in the meantime to more immediately perform the write, and if a delay passes, does not perform the write without first checking that the write has been made to the certain data store. After instructing the write agent to delay write, the write manager attempts to write to the certain data store. Upon successfully writing to the certain data store, the write manager may instruct the write agent to proceed immediately. | 11-15-2012 |

| 20080313288 | Web gateway multi-carrier support - The present invention provides multi-carrier support in a wireless Internet gateway (WIG) that allows the WIG to send messages to any number of ‘peer’ gateways on the Internet in a conveniently reconfigurable manner. The disclosed embodiments include a ‘Message Distribution Center’ (MDC), through which short messages can be routed to the gateways of other wireless carriers based on carrier formats stored in an abstracted carrier format table. The conventional technique of separate classes written for each carrier is replaced by entries in a look-up table format, to provide a more easily adaptable wireless gateway. Thus, occasional updates of the carrier format table need only be updated, rather than the wireless Internet gateway program, reducing down time for updates, reducing the complexity of updates, and improving the reliability of a wireless Internet gateway in the face of changes for one or more carriers in a wireless network. The present invention enables a WIG to communicate with the gateways of other carriers (particularly other wireless carriers) having different and occasionally changing kinds of message destinations using different and occasionally changing protocols. Information regarding other carriers (i.e., destinations) may be added, changed, and/or removed from a wireless short messaging system network by simply modifying a configuration property file relating to message formats for each other carrier, rather than the conventional technique of providing each carrier with its own class, avoiding the conventional need to reprogram relevant sending gateways. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20080196308 | THERMALLY STABLE COCURRENT GASIFICATION SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A method and apparatus, in one example, relates to a system and method for the generation of very low-tar, high-energy synthesis gas from a large variety of carbonaceous feedstock, including those with higher moisture levels than conventional gasifiers. The system comprises a gasification reactor wherein a portion of the energy of the output syngas of the reactor is used to heat the gasification zone of the reactor via an annular space surrounding the gasification zone of the gasifier, to maintain a temperature condition above 800° C.

| 20120314941 | ACCURATE TEXT CLASSIFICATION THROUGH SELECTIVE USE OF IMAGE DATA - Product images are used in conjunction with textual descriptions to improve classifications of product offerings. By combining cues from both text and image descriptions associated with products, implementations enhance both the precision and recall of product description classifications within the context of web-based commerce search. Several implementations are directed to improving those areas where text-only approaches are most unreliable. For example, several implementations use image signals to complement text classifiers and improve overall product classification in situations where brief textual product descriptions use vocabulary that overlaps with multiple diverse categories. Other implementations are directed to using text and images “training sets” to improve automated classifiers including text-only classifiers. Certain implementations are also directed to learning a number of three-way image classifiers focused only on “confusing categories” of the text signals to improve upon those specific areas where text-only classification is weakest. | 12-13-2012 |

| 20120317093 | PERFORMING PARALLEL JOINS ON DISTRIBUTED DATABASE DATA - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for performing parallel joins on distributed database data. Embodiments of the invention include a phased semi-join reduction strategy using replication and shuffle operations to join a first and a second data source. A filter building phase uses replication and pushes down a “Distinct” (e.g., SQL) operator to produce a list of join keys for the first data source (one side of the join). A shuffle phase for the second data source is modified to join to the key list produced in the first phase as a row filtering mechanism. A join phase then joins the first and second data sources. | 12-13-2012 |
