Title: Contact management for mobile communication devices in wireless packet switched networks
Inventor: WANDEL MATTHIAS
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2002-09-27
Granted: 2006-12-19
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for maintaining contact with a wireless communication network improve the timeliness in which traffic is delivered to a mobile communication device in marginal coverage areas. The number of times the mobile device informs the network of its presence in such coverage may be reduced based on predetermined network characteristics. In one illustrative example, the method involves continually maintaining and updating a message decode history list in memory and comparing it with a predetermined paging pattern of the network. The message decode history list keeps track of whether or not each message of a most recent plurality of regularly broadcasted messages has been successfully decoded. An update message which informs the network of the mobile device is transmitted in response to identifying that unsuccessful message decode indicators in the history list overlap with all page transmission periods of the network paging pattern. Conversely, the update message is not normally transmitted in response to identifying that any successful message decode indicator in the history list overlaps with any page transmission period of the network paging pattern.

Title: Passively cooled blade platform
Inventor: CHEVREFILS ANDRE
IPC: F01D5/08
Filed: 2003-10-15
Granted: 2012-09-18
Abstract: A passively cooled blade platform (16) for a gas turbine rotor adapted for rotation about an axis within a stationary coolant fluid. The platform (16) has a radially outer surface defining an annular gas path, a radially inner surface in flow communication with the coolant fluid, a leading edge (17), and a trailing edge (18) with at least one cooling flow channel (23, 24, 25) in the inner surface.

Title: Process for producing a flat panel radiation detector and a flat panel radiation detector
Inventor: SUZUKI JUNICHI
IPC: H01L23/34
Filed: 2005-05-25
Granted: 2013-02-12
Abstract: Because a restricting plate 27 is disposed using a spacer 25, an upper plate 15 is allowed to expand upward when resin is injected, but unnecessary overexpansion is restricted by the restricting plate 27. Therefore the injection of a slightly larger amount of resin 37 does not cause a distortion or breakage of the upper plate 15 and a large amount resin 37 than the predetermined amount may be injected. As a result, damage to the upper plate 15 by the injection of the resin 37 and damage to the upper plate 15, the exfoliation of the radiation sensitive layer, and the like caused by the curing of the resin 37 may be prevented and damage to the flat panel radiation detector 1 may be prevented thereby.

Abstract: In an outboard motor control system, a position of a clutch (moved by an actuator) is memorized as a neutral position when a neutral switch produces an ON signal and the clutch position corresponding to a forward position where the clutch engages with a forward gear or a reverse position where the clutch engages with a reverse gear is determined based on the memorized position. With this, the clutch can be accurately shifted to the positions where the forward, neutral and reverse shift positions are established, thereby preventing shifting errors. Similarly, by memorizing rudder angle sensor outputs when the outboard motor is mechanically stopped by left and right steer stops as maximum leftward or rightward rudder angles, desired values for control purposes when steering the outboard motor to the maximum rudder angles can be determined as values that take the unit-specific properties of the outboard motor into account.

Abstract: A screw pile is equipped with internal grout pipes extending downwardly through the bore of the tubular pile shaft. The grout pipes connect with side-opening ports in the shaft side wall, to form conduits through which fluid grout may be injected into the surrounding ground. The grout is injected at high pressure as the pile is rotatively driven into a sub-surface target formation in which the pile is to be landed. In this way, the grout is distributed along a vertical interval of formation. It has been shown that this technique is characterized by increased load capacities of the implanted pile, relative to piles implanted without grouting or with grouting but only at landed depth.
