A method, apparatus and program product deallocate an object from a memory heap in a virtual machine environment by, in part, determining that the object is replaceable using an object reference associated with the object. The device includes a handle and a planar panel coupled to and extending from a second end of the handle. A NLIC unit may reconstruct an interference signal based on a selected one of the first NLIC signal or second NLIC signal. In another embodiment of the method, the accepting an identifier associated with the first provider is characterized by accepting user input of the identifier via either a keyboard, a touch-screen reader, a graphical user interface, or a biometrics identifier. The frame length corresponding to each communication rate may then be obtained by dividing the barrier clock rate by the \u03a3\u0394 rate. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for allocating an uplink carrier for transmitting uplink control information in a wireless communication system that supports carrier aggregation.
