A removable pool enclosure panel (26) having a panel frame (10) which surrounds a predetermined material, such as screen (6) currently used in conjunction with pool enclosures, and a means for removably fastening (25) the panel frame (10) within a predetermined section (7) of a pool enclosure frame (1). The means for fastening (25) the panel (26) within a pool enclosure section (7) is preferably at least one rod (12) mounted within a spring (13) and having a finger pull ring (11) and/or at least one dowel (24) insertable into holes (23) in interconnected bars (4) or (5) of the pool enclosure (1).

A method for determining a user intended number from a partial phone number includes steps for receiving a partial phone number, determining whether the partial phone number corresponds with at least one database number based on at least one selected criteria list and performing a system action based on the determination. The method may include prioritizing a list of database numbers that correspond to the partial number.

A security infrastructure and methods are presented that inhibit the ability of a malicious node from disrupting the normal operations of a peer-to-peer network. The methods of the invention allow both secure and insecure identities to be used by nodes by making them self-verifying. When necessary or opportunistic, ID ownership is validated by piggybacking the validation on existing messages. The probability of connecting initially to a malicious node is reduced by randomly selecting to which node to connect. Further, information from malicious nodes is identified and can be disregarded by maintaining information about prior communications that will require a future response. Denial of service attacks are inhibited by allowing the node to disregard requests when its resource utilization exceeds a predetermined limit. The ability for a malicious node to remove a valid node is reduced by requiring that revocation certificates be signed by the node to be removed.

As installation clip for use in supporting a window, such as a mulled window, during installation in a building wall opening, and reinforcing the window after installation against the pressures of wind or the like. The installation clip is of unitary construction with a generally flat base portion, and a set of counterextending, raised tab portions projecting upwardly and outwardly from one side of the base portion. The height and width of the raised tab portions are selected to conform substantially to the dimensions of a recess in the bottom frame member of the window with which the clip is to be used. The installation clip is mounted to the sill structure of the building wall opening, with its tab portions facing into the center of the opening, and the window is inserted into the opening onto the mounted clip. The raised tab portions of the clip engage in the recess in the window bottom frame, and hold the window in place while it is permanently secured in the opening by conventional means. After the window is permanently secured, the installation clip reinforces the window against applied pressures and loads, particularly at the areas of the mullions of the window. The clip is such that it is completely hidden from view after the window is permanently installed.

Leaf node items within a tree data structure are efficiently deleted. A leaf node item of a leaf node of the tree data structure is marked for deletion. The leaf node is marked as containing leaf node items that have been marked for deletion. A flag for a region encompassing the leaf node within a linear representation of the tree data structure is set. The linear representation of the tree data structure has a number of regions, each of which encompass one or more of the leaf nodes and that have a corresponding flag. Periodically, the tree data structure is cleaned. Each region of the linear representation for which the corresponding flag is set is scanned for leaf nodes that have been marked as containing leaf node items that have been marked for deletion. Each such leaf node item that within each such leaf node is found is deleted.

A user may utilize a communication device, e.g., a wireless phone, mobile device or personal digital assistant (PDA), to contact an information/call center where an operator provides personalized information and communications services to the user in accordance with the invention. Such services may include, e.g., private directory and calendar data synchronization, identity pre-validation, etc. To personalize the services, at least one profile record associated with the user which may specify, among others, the devices used by the user to communicate with the information/call center, and preferred information/call center to which an information assistance call is routed. Accordingly, services and service features provided to the user may be tailored for use with the specified devices. Security measures may also be instituted in the profile record to restrict use of certain services and service features.

Disclosed is a method of making oil byproducts off of cloned and processed fats separated into lines for different byproducts. Process can be done on a scaleable design such as a fuel tank or an old manufacturing plant and generator. Factory's make its own power off of the fuel it makes separating it into two streams, a product stream and a generator stream. It would take many of these factories to supply oil to an area but be an economical way of doing so.

Systems, including apparatus and methods, for obtaining and/or correcting images, particularly from atmospheric and/or other distortions. These corrections may involve, among others, determining corrective information in a first (e.g., visible) wavelength regime, and then applying the corrective information in a second (e.g., longer) wavelength regime, such as infrared (IR) or millimeter-wave (MMW) wavelengths, in real time or with post-processing. For example, these corrections may include scaling a phase diversity correction from one wavelength to another. These systems may be useful in any suitable imaging context, including navigation, targeting, search and rescue, law enforcement, and/or surveillance, among others.

The present invention recognizes that a need exists for timely, accurate, and thorough methods, systems, articles of manufacture and methods of doing business in the context of information retrieval and analysis, particularly for businesses dealing in goods and services wherein price fluctuations are common and rapid. The present invention addresses these needs by providing appropriate systems, methods, articles of manufacture and methods of doing business. One aspect of the present invention is a method for obtaining results from a query, including: providing a query to a server by a client system; obtaining data relating to the query; optionally storing the data in whole or in part on the server; formulating a response to the query using software and the data; optionally notifying a client remote location of the existence of the results; and obtaining the results through the client system.
