Abstract: An operating provides a facility within its kernel for monitoring program performance. The facility may monitor user level programs as well as portions of the operating system, such as the kernel. The facility counts instructions and/or function calls to provide a useful performance metric to a user of the system. The count is forwarded to a user level monitoring program. The inclusion of the facility within the kernel enhances the speed of performance monitoring and enables the operating system to be directly monitored by the facility.

Abstract: A belt tensioner has a hub rotatably mounted on a base plate. The hub has an arm extending from a circumferential edge. A pin extends from the hub and slidably engages the base plate limiting relative rotational movement therebetween. A spring is connected between the base plate and the hub for rotationally biasing the hub relative to the base plate. The arm indicates the relative rotational movement. A bearing is eccentrically mounted for rotation on the hub and a pulley is mounted on the bearing. The hub has a stamped cup portion connected to a cylindrical stub. The cup portion is stamped from sheet steel and the stub is machined from rolled steel allowing the pulley to rotate relatively close to the base plate.

Abstract: A body compatible stent (16) is formed of multiple filaments (18, 20) arranged in two sets of oppositely directed helical windings interwoven with one another in a braided configuration. Each of the filaments (18, 20) is a compodite including a central core (24) and a case (26) surrounding the core (24). In the more preferred version, the core (24) is formed of a radiopaque and relatively ductile rnaterial, e.g. tantalum or platinum. The outer case (26) is formed of a relatively resilient material, e.g. a cobalt/chromium based alloy. Favorable mechanical characteristics of the stent (16) are determined by the case (26), while the core (24) enables in vivo imaging of the stent (16). The composite filaments (18a) are formed by a drawn filled tubing process in which the core (24) is inserted into a tubular case (26) of a diameter substantially more than the intended final filament diameter. The composite filament (18a) is cold-worked in several steps to reduce its diameter, and annealed between successive cold-working steps. After the final cold working step, the composite filament (18a) is formed into the desired shape and age hardened. Alternative composite filaments (18a) employ an intermediate barrier layer (86) between the case (84) and core (82), a biocompatible cover layer (94) surrounding the case (92), and a radiopaque case (92) surrounding a structural core (90).

Abstract: A lens body or article with lens is produced by forming lens-forming defining lines on the surface of a substrate, coating a lens-forming resin on the surface to thereby allow the lens-forming resin to swell in a convex form between the lens- forming defining lines by means of the repellency of the lens- forming resin with the lens-forming defining lines, and then curing the lens-forming resin. To this method is added a step of providing an image on the substrate to obtain an article with lens having the image. The image can stereoscopically be seen through the article with lens obtained by this method.

Abstract: An apparatus for conveying panels, such as vehicle body side panels to and from work stations located at spaced locations along a conveyor includes a panel support frame mounted on the conveyor for movement along the conveying path with the support frame in an elevated generally horizontal conveying position.  The support frame carries a plurality of mechanically actuable releasable clamps adapted to retain a panel engaged against a group of locator pads fixedly mounted on one side of the support frame.  A second group of locator pads movably mounted on the frame are normally biased into engagement with the panel at spaced locations around its periphery to hold the panel in a predetermined position laterally of the support frame.  The support frame mounts an actuator member coupled to all of the clamps to position all clamps in a panel clamping position when the actuator member is in a first position and to position all clamps in a panel release position when the actuator is in a second position.  A coupling member on the support frame normally locks the actuator member against movement from either of its positions. The conveyor includes a manipulator operable when the support frame is at a work station to pivot the support frame downwardly from its conveying position to a downwardly inclined transfer position.  Actuating devices located on the fixed frame at the work station are operable when the support frame is in its transfer position to release the coupling member, disengage the movable locator pads and shift the clamp actuator member between its first and second positions.

Title: Method for optimal selection among multiple providers in a wireless communications service environment
Inventor: PRISE MICHAEL EDWARD
IPC: H04W48/16
Filed: 1997-06-24
Granted: 2003-01-07
Abstract: A communication device locates a preferable wireless service provider in a multi-service provider environment using a frequency band search schedule. Initially, the communications device registers with a less preferred service provider in a first frequency band. While remaining registered with the less preferred service provider, the device examines several frequency bands in the order specified by the frequency band search schedule. A frequency band is examined by dividing the frequency band into many sub-bands, and by locating the strongest signal above a threshold within the sub-band being examined. The examination continues until a second frequency band having a more preferred service provider is located. The communication device then registers with the more preferred service provider. The order of search of the frequency spectrum may be based upon registration history of the communication device.
