Filed: 1997-01-15
Abstract: A finial support arrangement is provided for window coverings and the like, including a hollow ended support rod or tube, a support sleeve lodged within the rod, and a decorative finial supported in and by the sleeve. The finial includes a support post that is force or interference fitted into the sleeve. The sleeve, in turn, is force or interference fitted into the tube. The sleeve is made of a material that is softer than the support post and may be deformed during insertion of the post. The arrangement is particularly useful for supporting cast or wrought metal finials in rigid support tubes or rods, and alleviates the need for close tolerances on either the tube interior diameter or the support post outer diameter that would otherwise be needed to provide the desired interference fit.

Abstract: Providing a module and a method of installing the module to a vehicle having a window opening for a translational glass pane supported and guided by a glass run channel. The module is comprised of a one-piece surround molding fully surrounding and generally defining the perimeter of the window opening.  A glass run channel is secured to the surround molding. Fasteners are attached to the surround molding and attach the module to a flange on the vehicle. A belt line outer seal and one or more gimp seals may also be attached to more fully integrate the module.  The module is fully assembled prior to being attached to a vehicle during final assembly, the surround molding supporting the glass run channel rather than having the glass run channel attached to a flange of the vehicle. Further, a method of installing the module in a reduced number of operations along the final assembly line is disclosed which provides improved control over the fit and finish of the multiple part within the module, and reduces labor time associated with the final assembly line.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the layer of transflective material (22) replaces the front electrode (12) of the EL lamp (20). Second, a predetermined surface design (17a) is provided to the transparent substrate (11, 44) to enhance diffusion and fringing of both the reflected incident ambient light and the light emitted by the energized electroluminescent layer (13). This enhanced diffusion and fringing leads to a visually appealing appearance.

Patent CA-2228919-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HABBAB ISAM M I
IPC: H04L27/22
Filed: 1998-02-05
Abstract: The along and perpendicular rails of a received signal (e.g., modulated using multi-phase shift keying) are rotated to compensate for frequency offsets between the carrier frequency of the received signal and the reference frequency of the local oscillator. The rotation angles are updated, based on the rotated along rail, during dotting sequences in the received signal. In one implementation, the dotting sequences are detected based on the rotate perpendicular rail. The beginnings of dotting sequences are detected by thresholding the average on the perpendicular rail and the ends of dotting sequences are detected by analyzing the encoded data for non-dotting-sequence values. In a cordless phone application, different dotting sequences may be used to distinguish base-to-handset transmissions from handset-to-base transmissions.
