Title: Gang-nail extractor
Inventor: SPINNEY GREGORY
IPC: B25C11/00
Filed: 2006-04-03
Granted: 2010-02-09
Abstract: This invention relates to manually operating tool for removal of gang-nail plates from wood members used to manufacture floor and roof trusses. The tool is comprised of a handle (2) which has a lower notched chisel jaw (1), upper grab teeth (7), and a cam lift (8) attached to the base end of the handle (2). The opposite end of the handle (2), is designed to be struck with a hammer so that force can be applied to lower notched chisel jaw (1) for penetration under the edge of a gang-nail plate in an open position. A jaw clamp lever (3) applies upper grab teeth (7) to protrude into the gang-nail plate in the closed position. Applying down pressure to handle causes rotation of the lower notched chisel jaw (1) and upper grab teeth (7) about the cam lift (8) to extract and remove the gang-nail plate from the wood surface.

Title: Methods and apparatus for the communication of network capability information over a traffic channel
Inventor: WILLEY WILLIAM DANIEL
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2005-01-05
Granted: 2012-06-26
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the communication of network capability information are described. When a mobile station is engaged in a call, an in-traffic channel message is transmitted from a base station of a wireless communication network to the mobile station. The message includes information indicative of whether the network supports a predetermined concurrent service or feature.  The predetermined concurrent service or feature may be a mobile-requested Quality of Service (QoS) parameter usage feature or a mobile-initiated position location determination feature. The in-traffic channel message may be an in-traffic system parameter message, a general handoff direction message, or a universal handoff direction message, as examples. Preferably, the network is a cdma2000-type network. Since the mobile station is made aware of such information, more efficient operation may be realized.

Title: Transmission mode and rate selection for a wireless communication system
Inventor: ABRAHAM SANTOSH
IPC: H04J99/00
Filed: 2005-05-05
Granted: 2012-02-07
Abstract: To select a transmission mode to use for a data transmission via a MIMO  channel from station A to station B, station A obtains channel information used for spatial processing and determines the age of this information.  Station A selects one of multiple transmission modes based on the age of the channel information and possibly other information (e.g., the fading characteristic of the MIMO channel). To select rate(s) to use for the data transmission, station A obtains channel state information (CSI) indicative of the received signal quality for the MIMO channel, e.g., received SNRs or "initial" rates. Station A determines the age of the CSI and selects one or more "final" rates based on the CSI, the age of the CSI, the selected transmission mode, and possibly other information. Station A processes data in accordance with the selected transmission mode and final rate(s) and transmits the processed data to station B.

Title: Tone synthesis apparatus and method
Inventor: AKAZAWA EIJI
IPC: G10H7/00
Filed: 2007-01-09
Granted: 2011-01-04
Abstract: In a storage section, there are stored special connecting waveform data for connecting between at least two notes to be generated in succession. The special connecting waveform data contain only a waveform of a succeeding-note region of a waveform connecting portion which is provided for a continuous transition between the at least two notes and which is divided into a preceding-note region and the succeeding-note region. When a connecting tone is to be generated for connecting between two notes in accordance with acquired performance information, a tone waveform connecting between waveforms of the two notes is generated using the special connecting waveform data. With such arrangements, the waveform data of the succeeding-note region are read out without waveform data of the preceding-note region being read out, so that it is possible to reduce a time required for transition from a preceding note to a succeeding note. Thus, in the connecting portion for continuously connecting between tones with no break therebetween, a tone can be synthesized with high quality without involving a tone generating delay in the succeeding note.

Abstract: A laser range finder (LRF) (20) is used to identify an aircraft (12) approaching a gate. The LRF (20) is directed at the aircraft (12), and from the echoes, a profile is derived and compared to known profiles. To distinguish among aircraft (12) with similar profiles, the LRF is directed at a volume in which a feature such as an engine is expected and at another volume in which the engine is not expected. The echoes from the two volumes are used to determine whether the engine is in its expected location. If so, the aircraft (12) is identified as the correct type and is allowed to dock at the gate (16). Otherwise, the aircraft (12) is stopped. The nose height can be used as yet another identifying criterion.

Abstract: The synthesis of nanostructures uses a catalyst that may be in the form of a thin film layer on a substrate. Precursor compounds are selected for low boiling point or already exist in gaseous form. Nanostructures are capable of synthesis with a masked substrate to form patterned nanostructure growth. The techniques further include forming metal nanoparticles with sizes <10nm and with a narrow size distribution. Metallic nanoparticles have been shown to possess enhanced catalytic properties. The process may include plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition to deposit Ni, Pt, and/or Au nanoparticles onto the surfaces of SiO2, SiC, and GaN nanowires. A nanostructure sample can be coated with metallic nanoparticles in approximately 5-7 minutes. The size of the nanoparticles can be controlled through appropriate control of temperature and pressure during the process. The coated nanowires have application as gas and aqueous sensors and hydrogen storage.
