Title: Metal member having precious metal plating and manufacturing method of that metal member
Inventor: AOYAMA NAOTAKA
IPC: C23C14/58
Filed: 2007-05-25
Abstract: A metal member is manufactured that has a plating layer of precious metal on the surface of a bare metal portion formed of a predetermined metal. First, a surface layer of the bare metal portion is removed. Then, a plating of precious metal is applied to the portion where the surface layer of the bare metal portion was removed. Then, the metal member is heat treated in an inert atmosphere. As a result, a metal member can be manufactured that has less carbide and hydrogen near a boundary surface of the plating layer and the bare metal portion than it would if the removing step and the heat treating step were not performed. With a metal member manufactured in this way, the plating layer does not easily peel away.

Patent CA-2671262-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TRAN PHAT HONG
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 2009-07-03
Abstract: A wireless communications device having a fast-receive mode for measuring received signal strength indication (RSSI) enables the device to handle higher time division multiple access (TDMA) multislot classes without requiring that the device include either a second receiver or a receiver with a more advanced and expensive phase-locked loop (PLL) design. The time to complete an RSSI measurement is reduced by initiating the sampling of signal strength before the radio transceiver is fully stabilized in the downlink mode. By initiating sampling before PLL stabilization is complete, the overall time to complete an RSSI measurement is reduced sufficiently to enable scheduling of an RSSI measurement in each GSM frame.
