Filed: 1999-04-22
Abstract: In a frame offset setting arrangement which is arranged in a base station of a code division multiple access system for setting frame offset values in mobile units by informing the frame offset values to the mobile units, a concentration detecting part (110, 111) detects concentration in distribution of the frame offset values set in the mobile units. The frame offset values represent amounts of offsetting, from a leading edge of each frame, transmission timings of speech packets when the mobile units transmit the speech packets to the base station, respectively. A leveling part (112-121) levels, when the concentration detecting part detects the concentration, the frame offset values for the mobile units which are currently on communication. Specifically, the number of the mobile units using each frame offset value is counted. With reference to counted values, new frame offset values are selected to thereby cancel the concentration.

Abstract: A non-destructive method of measuring physical characteristics of a medium,
such as uncemented sediment, sandstone, or limestone. A pseudo-random code is
generated and is used to generate a pseudo-random acoustic signal. This signal is
transmitted into the medium to be measured through the use of a transducer, such as a
piezoelectric element, and is received by a plurality of hydrophones. The received
signal is then processed to obtain an image of its velocity and attenuation. A universal
geoacoustic model of the medium for a given set of measured data is determined, and
the model is solved to obtain a pair of permeability-porosity results for the medium.
The one of this pair of permeability-porosity results which is correctly indicative of
the physical characteristics of the medium is then determined.

Abstract: The present invention provides a proxy that allows disparate
communication devices or endpoints to communicate with each other
independent of the type of communication software that the
communication devices are utilizing. The proxy allows the communication
devices to fully utilize their full set of communication functions, avoiding
the downgrading of functions to accommodate a communication device
with fewer functions. In one embodiment a proxy is coupled to a first
endpoint and a second endpoint. The proxy and the first and second
endpoints are in communication with each other through a network. The
first endpoint communicates with the second endpoint using a first
communication protocol and the second endpoint communicates with the
first endpoint using a second communication protocol. The proxy provides
compatible communications between the first endpoint and the second
endpoint when the first and the second communication protocols are
different. The first and the second communication protocols may be
different in that they are different versions of a communication protocol. In
some embodiments, the proxy may act as an intermediary for all
communication between the endpoints; and in other embodiments the
proxy facilitates only signaling communication between endpoints. In
some embodiments, the proxy also provides compatible communication
between the first and second endpoints when the first and second
communication protocols are identical.

Abstract: A method for determining the presence of an analyte in a fluid is described along
with an apparatus specifically designed to carry out the method. The method involves
taking a reflectance reading from one surface (15) of an inert porous matrix (11)
impregnated with a reagent that will interact with the analyte to produce a light absorbing
reaction product when the fluid being analysed is applied to the matrix. Reflectance
measurements are made at two separate wavelengths in order to eliminate interference. A
timing circuit may be triggered by an initial decrease in reflectance by the wetting of the
surface whose reflectance is being measured by the fluid which passes through the inert
matrix. The method and apparatus are particularly suitable for the measurement of glucose
levels in blood without requiring separation of red blood cells from serum or plasma.
