Inventor: HINO HARUMICHI
IPC: B23K20/12
Filed: 1998-11-30
Abstract: The root shape of a flash formed in the friction-welded joint is controlled by introducing an upset delay time interposed between termination of the friction step and commencement of the upset step and by controlling the upset displacement speed.  This provides a friction-welded joint having a tensile strength and a fatigue strength which are comparable with those of TIG- or MIG-welded joints and enables aluminum alloy hollow members to be produced by friction welding instead of TIG or MIG welding.  Typically, the upset delay time is 0.4 to 0.8 sec and the upset displacement speed is 5.0 to 70.0 mm/sec to form a flash having a flash root radius of 0.5 mm or more and a flash root angle of 75 deg or less.

Title: Measuring device primarily for use with vehicles
Inventor: HENDRIX BILL
IPC: G01B5/00
Filed: 1997-09-15
Abstract: A system (10) for measuring the points on a vehicle (24) includes reference emitters (14) fixed relative to the vehicle, electromagnetic radiation-emitting probes (18), a camera (16), and a computer (20). The camera (16) senses the direction of the emitter (14) from three different locations so the computer can triangulate to determine the position of the emitter. The position is then put onto a standard coordinate system and is compared to standard data for the type of vehicle to determine the extent of deviation of the measured point from the standard data. This provides real time data to a person who is straightening the vehicle or aligning parts of the vehicle to know when the straightening or aligning is complete.

Inventor: MCMULLIN WILLIAM P
IPC: H04L12/64
Filed: 1999-05-11
Abstract: A telephone service method that provides subscribers with the functionality of an extra telephone line during data/Internet sessions. Each subscriber has a unique telephone number Dns that can be dialed by anyone with access to the PSTN. When the Dns is dialed the call will be routed via the PSTN to the ILTD server. The ILTD server upon receiving the call attempt from the Dnc will analyze the dialed number (Dns) and determine if the subscriber's computer is able to receive the telephone call. If the subscriber's computer is actively engaged in an Internet Protocol session, with the ILTD client software running, the ILTD  server will connect the call over the Internet to the ILTD client software. The ILTD  client software will activate the subscriber's sound card and the microphone to play audio and receive input from the microphone to allow the subscriber and the calling party to have a full duplex telephone conversation (i.e. using voice-over-IP technology).

Title: Seamless soft handoff in a cdma cellular communications system
Inventor: ST-PIERRE SYLVAIN
IPC: H04B7/02
Filed: 1997-11-21
Abstract: During a "make before you break" handoff performed within a CDMA  communications system, duplicate downlink communications (50) are generated and routed through different base stations (16) for delivery to the mobile station (18). At the mobile station, the duplicate signals are received and the frame sequence numbers of the substantially simultaneously received frames (58) therein are compared (60). If the sequence numbers do not match, the duplicate signals are identified as not being synchronously received by the mobile station. In response thereto, the mobile station signals (64) the communications network on the uplink with a timing adjustment message, and appropriate timing modifications (66) are made with respect to the transmission of the duplicate signals in order to provide for substantially synchronous reception. Diversity combination and decoding (68) are then performed on the received signals. Alternatively, the mobile station buffers (72) the earlier arriving signal and waits for the later arrival of the sequence number matching frame of the duplicate signal before engaging in diversity combining and decoding of the received signals.
