Title: Wireless communication device and system incorporating location-determining means
Inventor: CAMP WILLIAM O JR
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 1998-02-20
Granted: 2004-09-21
Abstract: A device, method and system which enables the location of a wireless communication device to be accurately determined without requiring the device to perform extensive signal processing or calculations. The wireless device frequency converts a location-determining signal from an initial frequency to the frequency of a standard communication channel, and transmits the frequency-converted signal to a base station in a conventional manner. A location-determining receiver associated with the base station receives the location-determining signal and determines the location of the wireless communication device based on the location-determining signal.

Granted: 2003-07-15
Abstract: A method and apparatus for densely packing wire in a storage drum is provided.  A capstan is provided for pulling welding wire at a set rotational velocity. The welding wire is then provided to a rotatable laying head which receives the wire from the capstan, and in turn rotates with a storage drum placed on a rotatable turntable. As the welding wire is placed within the turntable in layers, the turntable is indexed relative to the storage drum axis and the rotational velocity of the capstan and laying head is altered, which causes the welding wire to be placed in a layer different from the first layer. This indexing is continued until the storage drum is full, forming alternating bands of welding wire to increase the packing density of the storage drum.

Abstract: A system for separating construction debris into low density debris and high density debris. The construction debris is delivered into a rotating drum having front and rear discharge openings. The lower portion of the drum is filled with water, and the debris is deposited onto the water, with the low density debris floating at the surface and the high density debris descending to the bottom of the drum. A plurality of high velocity water jets are positioned forwardly of the debris receiving location to create a turbulent high velocity water flow at an upper zone of the water in the drum to move the wood and other low density material toward a rear converging passageway that leads into the rear discharge opening and retains the water level in the drum. The higher density material is carried by a scroll type conveyor forwardly in the drum to a forward discharge location where rotating paddles lift the high density debris upwardly and thence move it into the front discharge opening. Rear and front water separation and discharge sections are provided in the form of a frusto-conical structure having through openings to separate the water from the low density and high density debris.

Abstract: An inflatable slide (18) is placed in a housing (20) close to an access door (16) to a cabin (14) of an aircraft. More precisely, the housing (20) is located in a pressurised area of the aircraft but outside the wall delimiting the cabin (14). Thus, there is no constraint for delimiting the housing (20) on the inside of the aircraft. On the outside, the housing (20) is closed by a hatch (24) capable of resisting the pressure. A lock (30) normally keeps the hatch (24) fixed in the closed position. A mechanism (32) connects this lock (30) to the door (16) when the slide arming system (33) is armed. Opening the door (16) then unlocks the hatch (24) that is then opened due to inflation of the slide (18).
