A valve for use with an inflatable cushion having individual inflation zones including a slide housing positioned between two outer casing halves. Each casing half has a plurality of nipple connector seats. Each nipple connector seat has at least one external detent. The slide housing has a series of nipple connectors along its length that are inserted into air conduits in the peripheral edge of the cushion, which, in turn, are connected to the individual inflation zones. Each nipple connector has at least one retainer groove in the surface. The casing half detents engage the cushion edge and the retainer grooves to retain the nipple in the air conduits. There is a movable slide inside the slide seat bore. The slide has a longitudinal inner bore and a number of openings along its length that communicate with the inner bore. The valve is opened by aligning the slide openings with the connector nipples to allow the inflation zones to communicate through the valve slide bore and is closed by moving the slide openings out of alignment with the casing openings to seal off the inflation zones.

A method for remotely powering up a computer, comprising the steps of: (a) receiving a telephone call by a modem coupled to a powered down computer; (b) obtaining an originator's telephone number of the telephone call by a caller ID controller of the modem; (c) storing the originator's telephone number in a PCI register space of the modem; (d) generating a wake signal by the modem to a BIOS of the computer; (e) obtaining the originator's telephone number from the PCI register space by the BIOS; (f) comparing the originator's telephone number with a plurality of authorized telephone numbers by the BIOS; and (g) proceeding with a power start up process of the computer by the BIOS, if the originator's telephone number matches one of the plurality of authorized telephone numbers. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the obtaining step (b) is performed utilizing Call-ID technology. 11. The method of claim 9, further comprising: (h) maintaining the computer in the powered down state, if the originator's telephone number does not match one of the plurality of authorized telephone numbers. 12. A system, comprising: a powered down computer, wherein the computer comprises a BIOS; and a modem coupled to the powered down computer for receiving a telephone call, wherein the modem comprises: a caller ID controller for determining an originator's telephone number for the telephone call, and a PCI register space, wherein the originator's telephone number is stored in the PCI register space, wherein the modem generates a wake signal to the BIOS when the model receives the telephone call, wherein the BIOS determines if the originator's telephone number matches one of a plurality of authorized telephone numbers, wherein the BIOS powers up the computer if the originator's telephone number matches one of the plurality of authorized telephone numbers. ed with the continuous waveform. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the transmitted signals are represented by analog in-phase (I) and quadrature phase (Q) cosine waves that have been summed for transmission, and wherein the first logic is configured to process the summed analog I and Q cosine waves to produce digital I and Q values, the second logic being configured to demodulate and decode the digital I and Q values to convert the digital I and Q values into said sequence of bits. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein if the measured energy level exceeds a predetermined energy level threshold value and if the noise level exceeds a predetermined signal-to-noise-and-distortion (SINAD) ratio threshold level, the second logic determines a phase associated with the first set of said sequence of bits and utilizes the phase determination to perform clock recovery. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein once the second logic has performed clock recovery, the second logic compares the second set of said sequence of bits with a stored, preselected sequence of bits to determine where a first bit cell of the third set of said sequence of bits begins. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein once the second logic has determined where the first bit cell of the third set of said sequence of bits begins, the second logic decodes the third set of said sequence of bits. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the RLW corresponds to a particular group of the transmitted signals, wherein the particular group of the transmitted signals are transmitted a plurality of times, thereby causing the RLW to be repeated a plurality of times, the second logic evaluating each repeat of the RLW and producing a confidence factor for each bit of each RLW, each confidence factor being based on how closely a respective bit resembles a binary 1 or a binary 0 and on a signal strength associated with the respective bit, and wherein once the confidence factors have been produced for each bit of each repeat of the RLW, the second logic uses the confidence factors associated with each bit of each repeat to determine whether each bit is a binary 1 or a binary 0. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein once the confidence factors have been produced for each bit for each repeat of the RLW, the confidence factors associated with any given bit are summed and the sums are compared to a predetermined threshold value to determine whether the bit corresponds to a binary 1 or a binary 0. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein once each bit has been determined to be either a binary 1 or a binary 0, the second logic compares the binary bit values of the first and second sets of said sequence of bits to a pre-selected, stored set of bit values to determine the number of bit errors existing in the first and second sets of said sequence of bits, wherein once the second logic has determined the number of bit errors existing in the first and second sets of said sequence of bits, the second logic compares the number of bit errors to a bit-error threshold value to determine whether or not to abort message processing. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first logic comprises a frequency converter and a digital down-converter and wherein the second logic comprises a digital signal processor (DSP). 10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus is comprised in a base station of the wireless network and wherein the transmitted signals correspond to messages being sent from a mobile unit to the base station of the wireless network. 11. An apparatus for receiving signals transmitted over a wireless network in an analog mode, the apparatus comprising: first logic, the first logic receiving the transmitted signals, the first logic being configured to convert the transmitted signals into digital signals; and second logic in communication with the first logic, the second logic being configured to convert the digital signals into a sequence of bits, wherein the sequence of bits corresponds to
