Filed:

Apr 7, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/545642

Inventors:

Thomas P. McGovern - LaGrange Park IL
Michael Joseph Crowley - Oak Park IL
James E. Eastwood - Bellingham WA
Mario F. DeRango - Wauconda IL

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

709232

Abstract:

The device ( ) includes a processor ( ) coupled to a memory ( ) containing a program adapted to control the processor ( ) to manage communications between data communications systems. The management method includes the steps of receiving a first message sent from a first data communications system ( ) comprising a plurality of blocks ( ), determining whether the blocks ( ) of the first message are transferable or non-transferrable, sending a request repeat message to the first data communications system ( ) to request the first data communications system ( ) to resend the non-transferable blocks ( ) of the first message if the processor ( ) determines that any of the blocks ( ) of the first message are non-transferable, and sending the transferable blocks ( ) in the form of a second message comprising a first plurality of fragments ( ) to a second data communications system ( ) without waiting for the first data communications system ( ) to resend the non-transferable blocks ( ).

International Classification:

H04B 1500

US Classification:

455450, 4554521, 4554522

Abstract:

Fixed network equipment ( ) initializes a channel aggregation strategy and establishes a default channel aggregation. A request for a service requiring additional bandwidth is received from a device. An updated channel aggregation is generated based upon the request and the channel aggregation strategy to create an updated channel aggregation. The updated channel aggregation is signaled to at least one mobile station ( ) via an in-band message.

Appl. No.:

11/686534

Inventors:

Michael J. Crowley - Oak Park IL, US
Gary L. DeGregorio - Sleepy Hollow IL, US

Assignee:

MOTOROLA, INC. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

G01C 21/00

US Classification:

701213, 701300

Abstract:

A method and a system for determining a reverse map of locations and addresses are disclosed. The method includes receiving information from a user about a segment of a route (), determining the segment and a new via point using a map database (), determining whether the new via point is a final via point (), and determining the address of the destination after the new via point has been determined to be the final via point (). The method also includes repeating the receiving of the information and the determining of the segment when the new via point is not the final via point.

Appl. No.:

6/706641

Inventors:

Michael S. Crowley - Chicago Heights IL

Assignee:

Amoco Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

E04B 124
E04C 204

US Classification:

52378

Abstract:

Metal refractory anchors impregnated with special corrosion resistant material are provided to minimize erosion and corrosion as well as to increase the useful life of refractory linings in reactors, transfer lines, regenerators, and other vessels. In one embodiment, the refractory anchor has an S-shaped crossbar with reverse bent opposite ends. In another embodiment, the refractory anchor has a C-shaped crossbar with symmetrical arcuate ends.

Appl. No.:

6/331181

Inventors:

Michael S. Crowley - Chicago Heights IL

Assignee:

Standard Oil Company (Indiana) - Chicago IL

International Classification:

E04B 124
E04C 204

US Classification:

52378

Abstract:

A metal refractory anchor adapted for installation by welding to a metal surface together with a number of other like anchors to provide anchorage protection from erosion for a monolithic refractory applied to the surface, said anchor being formed from a metal strip having its width substantially equal to the thickness of the refractory to be applied to said surface and its length several times its width. The anchor has cut away portions at each end whereby there is provided at each end an extending arm, the extending arms together with the intermediate portion of said anchor providing an erosion resistant barrier for the protection of the refractory and the cut away portions adjacent said arms providing room for said refractory to be deposited between said arms and said surface.

Appl. No.:

6/656033

Inventors:

Michael S. Crowley - Chicago Heights IL

Assignee:

Standard Oil Company (Indiana) - Chicago IL

International Classification:

E04B 124
E04C 204

US Classification:

52378

Abstract:

Specially configured refractory anchors are provided to minimize erosion and increase the useful life of refractory linings in reactors and other vessels. The refractory anchors have a frustroconical base and an overhead crossbar with an intermediate portion and opposite ends. At least one of the opposite ends has an arcuate portion to provide a curved baffle to arcuately deflect and block gases flowing along the refractory lining adjacent to the refractory anchors. Desirably, the crossbar provides an erosion resistant barrier to help protect the structural integrity of the refractory linings. The base extends downwardly from the crossbar and reinforces the refractory lining. The flared sides of the base diverge towards the opposite ends of the crossbar at obtuse angles of inclination to provide pockets for receiving and holding the refractory lining. In one embodient, the refractory anchor has an S-shaped crossbar with reverse bent opposite ends. In another embodiment, the refractory anchor has a C-shaped crossbar with symmetrical arcuate ends.

G08B 5/36

Abstract:

A home occupancy status and information system may be used to track information about human and animal occupants within a structure, and provide information to first responders in the event of an emergency. A rescue beacon may be positioned near an entrance to a home, and when an audible alarm or alarm signal is detected by the beacon it will provide visual alerts and/or audible alerts to attract the attention of a first responder, and will provide information on occupants in the home, such as a number of pets, a number of humans, and other information. A rescue device may also be carried by each pet or other occupant in the house, which may be activated by a wireless signal from a rescue beacon, or by a detected alarm audio/signal. When activated, the rescue device will provide audible and/or visual alerts to aid first responders in locating the occupant.
