Title: Method for assigning band port channels in an unlicensed personal communications system
Inventor: RANADE ASHOK
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 1996-03-14
Granted: 2002-07-09
Abstract: A number of RPs stagger the times in which they begin searching for available channels. In a preferred method, one of a plurality of RPs in a UPCS system is selected to have a first start time (520). The system determines which RPs in the system can "see" the selected RP. Each of these RPs is given a unique stagger start time (526). This process may be repeated until each RP in the system is assigned a stagger start time (530). Alternatively, if there are fewer RPs in the system than there are available stagger start times, each RP may be selected to have a unique stagger start time.

Title: Method for controlling modem
Inventor: NOMA NOBUHIKO
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1997-12-16
Granted: 2001-06-12
Abstract: When a MODEM controller detects that the receiving level of probing signals or tone signals having a specific frequency in the phase 2 of a precommunication procedure is lower than a prescribed value, the controller lowers the transmission speed of a control channel to a lower speed of 1,200 bps. When the controller lowers the transmission speed, the controller sets the transmission speed to 1,200 bps by using a prescribed bit in an MPh signal in a communication control procedure and, at the same time, executes communication at the lowered transmission speed by setting such a condition that the communication with the communication equipment on the remote side at a different transmission speed is not permitted by using another bit of the MPh signal and informing the communication equipment on the remote side of the set condition.

Abstract: A post assembly for supporting a fence, a sign or receptacle such as a mailbox. The post assembly comprises a ground penetrating rod having an enlarged head, a square, hollow, decorative body placed over the rod after the rod is forced into the ground, and a footplate. The enlarged head of the rod cooperates in close fit within the hollow body. A pin frictionally fits into openings formed in the body, interfering with the rod as the body is lowered over the rod. The body is then employed as a driver to force the rod into the ground. When the rod is driven down to the point that the body contacts the footplate, the pin is removed from the body. The body then is lowered into abutment with the footplate. The openings of the body which receive the pin then align with a passage formed in the enlarged head of the rod. The pin is reinserted into the body, this time passing through the passage of the enlarged head of the rod. The rod and body are thus interlocked.  The footplate has prongs for engaging the ground, and a hole through which the rod passes and in which the rod is maintained upright. The rod and the prongs of the tootplate combine to secure the assembled post within the ground.

Abstract: A device for encapsulating a monitoring device for a pneumatic tire with an encapsulation material includes an encapsulation body having an encapsulation chamber. The monitoring device has at least a pressure sensor and an antenna. A damming element is carried by the encapsulation body in an adjustable manner such that the damming element contacts the pressure sensor of the monitoring device when the monitoring device is disposed within the encapsulation chamber. The damming element prevents the pressure sensor from being clogged with the encapsulating material when the monitoring device is encapsulated. The antenna of the monitoring device is held in a channel formed in the body when the monitoring device is disposed within the encapsulation chamber. The connection between the antenna and the body holds the monitoring device in a floating disposition in the encapsulation chamber. The damming element is in the form of a tube that also helps carry the monitoring device in the floating disposition. A breathing tube abuts the pressure sensor and extends through at least a portion of the damming element to further prevent the encapsulation material from clogging the pressure sensor. A top plate of the body extends over the encapsulation chamber to form a lip that serves to indicate when the encapsulation chamber has been filled with the encapsulation material.

Abstract: A backflow valve has a closure gate that is pivotally mounted for movement between an open position in which the closure gate is positioned on a plane substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of a flow passage and a closed position in which the closure gate is positioned transverse to the longitudinal axis. The closure gate has a midsection positioned pivot axis and is unbalanced with greater weight being toward the first end. A rotational stop limits pivotal movement when the closure gate is in the open position. A float is secured to the first end of the closure gate. The greater weight at the first end biases the closure gate by force of gravity against the rotational stop and into the open position. The float causes the closure gate to pivotally move to the closed position in response to liquid rising in the flow passage.

Abstract: A MEMS actuator is provided that produces significant forces and displacemen ts while consumming a reasonable amount of power. The MEMS actuator includes a microelectronic substrate, spaced apart support s on the substrate and a metallic arched beam extending between the spaced apart supports. The MEMS actuator also includes a heater for heating the arched beam to cause futher arching of the beam. In order to effectively transfer heat from the heater to the metallic arched beam, the metallic arched beam extends over and is spaced, albeit slightly, from the heater. As such, the MEMS actuator effectively converts the heat generated by the heater into mechanical motion of the metallic arched beam. A family of other MEMS devices, such as relays, switching arrays and valves, are also provided that include one or more MEMS actuators in order to take advantage of its efficient operating characteristics. In addition, a method of fabricating a MEMS actuator is further provided.

Abstract: A mechanical coupling for an output-side driver of an active or passive implantable hearing system. The driver is adapted to vibrate a preselected site on a member selected from the group comprising the ossicular chain, the footplate of the stapes and a membrane which closes a window in one of the cochlea, the vestibulum and the labyrinth (equilibrium organ), via a first coupling which has a coupling rod, which can be caused to vibrate mechanically by the driver, and a coupling element which can be connected to the preselected coupling site. The coupling rod and the coupling element are interconnected by at least one coupling. The first coupling half of the coupling has a roughly cylindrical outside contour that can be accommodated in the inside contour of a second coupling half, i.e. a contour which is at least partially complementary to the outside contour. In the implanted state, transmission of the dynamic forces between the two coupling halves of the coupling takes place essentially in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the first coupling half. The coupling can be reversibly coupled and decoupled and can be adjusted in a reversibly linear and/or rotational manner with reference to the longitudinal axis of the first coupling half, whereas the coupling is essentially rigid under the dynamic forces which occur in the implanted state.

Abstract: A processor uses signals from at least two GPS receivers and a 3-component accelerometer located on a stable non-magnetic platform to determine the rol l, yaw and pitch angles of the platform, thus providing a measurement of geographic north. The processor also uses signals from a 3-component magnetometer on the platform to determine the magnetic north and thence the magnetic declination. A proton magnetometer is used to provide a check on th e measurements of the 3-component magnetometer. Additionally, three single component magnetometers provide a measure of the local magnetic field gradie nt and serve to monitor artificially induced magnetic fields. An alternate embodiment of the invention uses at least three GPS receivers and may dispen se with the 3-component of accelerometer to determine geographic north. Tempora l local variations of the earth's magnetic field are tracked and used to corre ct conventional magnetic well surveys. For use in offshore drilling application s where the rig is on a drillship, the platform floats on water away from the drillship and tethered to a buoy. Signals from an inertial motion sensor are used by the processor to correct the observations of the GPS sensors, the magnetometers and the accelerometers for the motion of the platform in water .
