| 20080196905 | FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION - The fire sprinkler system of the preferred embodiments is preferably installed in a space defined by two beams, such as rafters, extending along the width of a space and separated by a distance equal to a length of the space. The fire sprinkler system includes a supply line generally extending along the width of the space and generally located between the rafters, and a series of sprinklers connected to the supply line. Each sprinkler is adapted to disperse in a coverage area having a length and a width, which is substantially less than the length. Each sprinkler is oriented such that the length of each coverage area extends in opposite directions toward the rafters. The fire sprinkler system may also be installed in a space having a series of purlins extending the length of the space. In this variation, each sprinkler is located between two purlins. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080202773 | FIRE SPRINKLER - A fire sprinkler of the preferred embodiments includes a frame, a trigger, and a deflector. The frame defines a duct to exhaust the flow of a fire suppressing or extinguishing substance, and includes a fastener to fasten the frame to a supply line. The trigger blocks the flow of the fire suppressing or extinguishing substance through the duct during a first mode, and permits the flow of the fire suppressing or extinguishing substance during a second mode. The deflector redirects the flow of the fire suppressing or extinguishing substance into a coverage area. The deflector also at least partially shields the trigger from the dispersal of a fire suppressing or extinguishing substance from an adjacent fire sprinkler and prevents a failure of the trigger. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20110235656 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ALLOCATING MAC ADDRESSES IN A CARRIER-CURRENT COMMUNICATION NETWORK - In the field of the allocating of communication addresses to devices connected to a carrier-current communication network and more particularly, networks for the remote reading of electrical meters from a data concentration apparatus through the electrical network, there is proposed an improved method of allocating MAC addresses for this type of network making it possible to save a great deal of time during the address allocation phase. This method proposes in particular that a list associating the serial numbers of the devices and the MAC address allocated be stored at the level of the central device for allocating addresses. It is also proposed that a cataloguing request be sent, serving to allocate the MAC address prior to the sending of a communication frame. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20120016976 | PERSISTING FILE SYSTEM INFORMATION ON MOBILE DEVICES - A communication device and method are provided for storing and updating file system information for a network resource such as a content server or application server over a wireless connection. Data pertaining to a folder structure or content listing is received at the device and stored in persistent memory. Upon determination that the stored file system information has aged beyond a predetermined threshold and that a last modification time for the network resource is later than a time associated with the first file system information, a request is transmitted over a wireless connection for new file system information for the network resource. The request may be intercepted by a mobile data server that communicates with the network resource to provide the information to the communication device. | 01-19-2012 |
| 20120110345 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURING DATA OF A MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE - A method and system for securing data of a mobile communications device. The method includes: determining that first application data is data associated with a first server; encrypting the first application data with an encryption key stored in the mobile communications device; storing the encrypted first application data on a memory; receiving a request to access the first application data from an application or a service implemented from the mobile communications device; determining that the application or service is authorized to access the first application data; and in response to said determining, decrypting the first application data with the encryption key. | 05-03-2012 |
