Title: Amplifiers with cutoff corcuit to avoid overloading cellular network sites
Inventor: COOK PATRICK L
IPC: H04W88/04
Filed: 2006-10-31
Abstract: A cellular network amplifier for reducing interference in a surrounding cellular network. The cellular network amplifier includes a communication device for receiving an uplink signal from a handset and a first variable gain module for applying an amplification factor to the uplink signal. The amplified uplink signal is transmitted to a base station by an antenna. The antenna also receives a downlink signal transmitted from the base station enroute to the handset. The downlink signal is analyzed by a control circuit, which determines a value of the amplification factor applied to the uplink and downlink signals based on the level of the downlink signal. The value of the amplification factor is determined such that the signal transmitted from the antenna does not introduce interference into the surrounding cellular network.

Title: Method and system for coating internal surfaces of prefabricated process piping in the field
Inventor: MERCADO RAUL DONATE
IPC: C23C14/00
Filed: 2005-07-06
Abstract: The coating of internal surfaces of a workpiece is achieved by connecting a bias voltage (20 and 47) such that the workpiece functions as a cathode and by connecting an anode (22 and 24) at each opening of the workpiece. A source gas (16 and 18) is introduced at an entrance opening, while a vacuum source (32) is connected at an exit opening. Pressure within the workpiece is monitored (34) and the resulting pressure information is used for maintaining a condition that exhibits the hollow cathode effect. Optionally, a pre-cleaning (52) may be provided by introducing a hydrocarbon mixture and applying a negative bias to the workpiece, so as to sputter contaminants from the workpiece using argon gas (16). Argon gas may also be introduced during the coating processing to re-sputter the coating, thereby improving uniformity along the length of the workpiece. The coating may be a diamond-like carbon material having properties which are determined by controlling ion bombardment energy.

Abstract: Devices, methods and systems for enhanced ringing features on communications terminals. Flexible user-established rules, customized in a subscriber profile database, enable the ring-tone to vary based on caller-~id, caller priority, call-urgency (as determined by caller), call context and so forth. Call set-up logic applies the profile rules prior to completing the call set-up. "Buzz-tones" extend the basic distinctive ringing feature to the "silent" mode that is currently available on cell-phones, which is of particular utility to subscribers with hearing disabilities. Other kinds of alerts (audio/motion/visual) like flashing colors on a display, moving pictures and the like, and any combination of notification modes, are contemplated by alternative embodiments.
