摘要： By decomposing (i.e., dividing) an interference graph into subgraphs, it becomes feasible to compute close approximations of an optimal channel allocation scheme within a reasonable amount of time. The channel allocation scheme may be used to allocate specific channels to access points (APs) in a wireless, local area network (WLAN).

摘要： A system and method for adding features to an electronic file is provided. The electronic file can be automatically examined to identify information that relates to features such as navigational aids or enhanced content. Certain information is defined to represent the navigational aids or enhanced content. When the information representing the navigational aid or enhanced content is located in the electronic file, the navigational aid or enhanced content is added to the electronic file. Bookmarks, internal links, web links, attachments, digital signatures and multimedia files are some examples of navigational aids and enhanced content that may be added to the electronic file, although other items may also be included.

摘要： An automated transaction system includes an automated transaction machine (10) for carrying out banking transactions. The machine includes a plurality of customer stations (16, 18, 20) at which customers may conduct transactions. Each of the transactions requested by customers is carried out using a set of transaction function devices (34) positioned within or adjacent to the machine housing. The robotic item handling device (42) is included among the transaction function devices and enables moving items between the customer stations and the transaction function devices included in the machine. The machine is enabled to carry out transactions for multiple users simultaneously. The machine is also readily configured to add and delete transaction function devices, thereby more readily changing the types of transactions which may be conducted.

摘要： An automated banking machine (12) is operative to conduct transactions in response to mark up language documents and TCP/IP messages exchanged with a local computer system (14) through an intranet (16), as well as in response to messages exchanged with foreign servers (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 96) in a wide area network (18). The banking machine includes a computer (34) having mark up language document handling software that includes a browser (76). The machine can receive instructions in mark up language documents accessed at an HTTP address to cause operation of transaction function devices, such as a currency dispenser (42).

摘要： According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a computerized method for routing orders relating to a commodity block trade is provided. The computerized method for routing orders relating to a commodity block trade includes a process for receiving a block trade for X amount of a commodity, and dividing the block trade into n equal orders. Pursuant to a feature of the present invention, each order is for an amount equal to 1/n times X, where n is a number of liquidity providers for the commodity. N liquidity providers are provided, and the n orders are distributed, one to each of the n liquidity providers. Moreover, information regarding the block order, including the amount X, is distributed to each of the n liquidity providers.

摘要： Interfaces are provided which integrate mistake-proofing concepts in a way easily understandable by the operator and easily configured by a manufacturing engineer. As mistake-proofing concepts are developed tables are populated and associated with specific assembly processes. Sensors are employed to monitor parts selection and tool usage. Sensors used for tool use and parts selection, error messages and actions to be performed or monitored are all defined and related in the tables and in turn to specific assembly orders. The tables are also populated with logic pointers, which are referenced by a Process Logic Control (PLC) unit that has been programmed to recall and carry out infinitely variable monitoring or control of the assembly process. For example when a particular order has been identified to the PLC by way of a scanned barcode or other means, a bill of material and assembly sequence is provided to the operator by appropriate means such as a CRT monitor. Parts bins and assembly points may be indicated by visual or other means to indicate parts and tools to be used and assembly points. Sensors determine when the proper part has been selected for the particular assembly step and/or whether the appropriate tool is used. The PLC then provides feedback to the operator to indicate whether all necessary steps have been accomplished in the proper order, with the proper parts using the proper tools. The PLC will provide the operator with understandable error messages indicating when a step has been improperly completed. The PLC can also control stops on the line to prevent the assembly from moving forward until all steps have been completed according to the specific order program. An override means may also be provided to bypass the PLC controls in which case an error log is compiled and an automated message is sent to. supervisory personnel indicating that the system was overridden by the operator and follow up action is required.

摘要： A method and system for providing a universal voting card (UVC) is disclosed. Generic votes stored in association with a UVC may be used at any time in any combination against voting campaigns that span, e.g., wireless carrier networks, television networks and television shows. A generic vote is issued by a UVC holder through the dispatch of an SMS message to a destination address (USC, toll-free TN, etc.). Each time that a generic vote is issued by a UVC holder the ‘number of votes remaining’ on the UVC is decremented; when the ‘number of votes remaining’ on the UVC reaches zero then the UVC is no longer usable.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种用于提供通用投票卡（UVC）的方法和系统。 与UVC相关联地存储的通用投票可以在任何时间以与例如无线运营商网络，电视网络和电视节目的投票活动相组合的方式被使用。 UVC持有人通过向目的地地址（USC，免费TN等）发送SMS消息发出一般投票。 每次UVC持有人发出一般投票，UVC上的“剩余票数”减少; 当UVC上的“剩余票数”达到零时，UVC就不再可用了。
