Abstract: A gypsum board/intumescent material ceiling board includes a gypsum board and a fire-resistive barrier. A first major surface of the gypsum board is an upper side for abutting framing and a second major surface of the gypsum board is an underside for facing a room interior. The fire-resistive barrier is a layer of intumescent coating material applied to and coextensive with one of the major surfaces of the gypsum board. The intumescent coating material contains expandable graphite and a corrosion inhibitor in sufficient quantities to provide a corrosion inhibiting layer on metal surfaces, such as the surfaces of metal fasteners, with which the intumescent coating material comes in contact. In addition, the intumescent coating material has_a pH greater than 7.0 to reduce corrosive properties of the intumescent material and provide a chemical environment conducive to the forming of the corrosion inhibiting layer by the corrosion inhibitor.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle has a transmission through which an engine can deliver torque to an axle to propel the vehicle and a transfer case associated with the transmission for operating auxiliary equipment. A system for engaging and disengaging the axle from the transmission and for engaging and disengaging the auxiliary equipment contains a first solenoid (20) that operates to a first state when the vehicle is to be propelled and to a second state when the auxiliary equipment is to be operated and a second solenoid (22) that is selectively operable to a first state that causes the auxiliary equipment to be disengaged from the transmission and to a second state that causes the auxiliary equipment to be engaged with the transmission through the transfer case. A module (26) controls the solenoids and receives a first input (14, 18) for requesting concurrent operation of the solenoids to their respective second states, a second input (16) for signaling transmission output shaft speed, and a third input (24) for signaling full engagement of the auxiliary equipment with the transmission through the transfer case.  Once the third input has signaled full engagement of the auxiliary equipment with the transmission through the transfer case, the module prevents both disengagement of the auxiliary equipment from, and engagement of the axle with, the transmission until the second input signals a speed predetermined to be a speed suitable for allowing both disengagement of the auxiliary equipment from, and engagement of the axle with, the transmission.

Abstract: A harness racing quick hitch comprises a pair of swivel joints in the hitch. The pair of swivel joints permit the harness saddle to rotate about a vertical axis relative to the sulky arm. This rotation provides a degree of freedom not otherwise present in the connection of the sulky arm to the harness saddle. Thus, the swivel joints in the quick hitch separate further the flexing movement of the horse flanks from the rigidity of the sulky arms. Modifications to the swivel joints provide further freedom of movement to the horse and therefore comprise alternative embodiments of the new swivel joint quick hitch.

Inventor: HELLBERG RICHARD
IPC: H04L5/06
Filed: 1999-06-04
Granted: 2008-04-22
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the problem of filtering, decimation or interpolation and frequency conversion in the digital domain, and more particularly to its use in wideband multichannel receiver, channelisation, and transmitter, de-channelisation, structures. The invention combines a stand-alone fast convolution algorithm which is further modified and then combined with additional signal processing. By intelligently splitting the filtering effort between the modified fast convolution algorithm block and an additional signal processing block a synergy is created between the two blocks which provides for decreased costs, reduced delay and a reduction in the size of the Fast Fourier Transforms. The resulting advantages are especially useful in any system handling multiple channels simultaneously, but especially where there exist strict requirements on both delay and on input Fast Fourier Transform size.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamically adjusting a power control loop that attempts to maintain either the transmit power of a signal sent from a base station to a mobile station or the signal to noise ratio of a signal sent from the mobile station (300) to the base station (400) above a minimum threshold and below a maximum threshold. Location information that is representative of the distance and morphology between the mobile station (300) and the base station (400) and the velocity of the mobile station (300) are determined. The minimum and the maximum thresholds of the power control loop are then adjusted in accordance with the location and the mobility information such that the minimum and the maximum threshold vary as the distance and the morphology between the mobile station (300) and the base station (400) and the velocity of the mobile station (300) change. In addition, the step size used to increase or decrease the transmit signal power, is adjusted in accordance with the velocity of the mobile station (300). A transmitter sends the signal at a power level that is controlled by the power control loop with the adjusted minimum threshold.
