Title: Transceiver and method for controlling power of incoming spread spectrum signals at the transceivers
Inventor: WHEATLEY CHARLES E
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1992-10-08
Abstract: A power control system for a cellular mobile telephone system in which system users communicate information signals between one another via at least one cell site using code division multiple access spread spectrum communication signals. The power control system controls transmission signal power for each cellular mobile telephone in the cellular mobile telephone system wherein each cellular mobile telephone has an antenna, transmitter and receiver and each cell-site also has an antenna, transmitter and receiver. Cell-site transmitted signal power is measured as received at the mobile unit. Transmitter power is adjusted at the mobile unit in an opposite manner with respect to increases and decreases in received signal power. A power control feedback scheme may also be utilized. At the cell-site communicating with the mobile unit, the mobile unit transmitted power is measured as received at the cell-site. A command signal is generated at the cell-site and transmitted to the mobile unit for further adjusting mobile unit transmitter power corresponding to deviations in the cell site received signal power. The feedback scheme is used to further adjust the mobile unit transmitter power so that mobile unit transmitted signals arrive at the cell-site at a desired power level.

Title: Portable device for flying anchorages
Inventor: DODINO CARLO
IPC: B63C/
Filed: 1990-11-12
Granted: 1994-11-28
Abstract: The present invention serves for personal defence or for stopping an escaping individual. It consists of a cylindrical casing and a cord fixed to the centre and wound around its outside, with a weight and a small pointed anchor attached to one of its ends. The anchor and its weight are stored inside the casing, having first fastened the tail end of the wound cord in a slot formed in the casing in such a way that they cannot fall out and injure the person carrying them, the advantage of this being that the device can be kept in the pocket. When the cord is released and the casing tipped up, the weight and the anchor fall out under gravity, thus automatically unwinding the cord from the casing. The casing is used as handgrip and, after the anchor has been thrown at the target provides an easy means of pulling on the cord. Afterwards, with the anchors locked onto the target person, the latter can easily be immobilized as desired by keeping the cord taut. <IMAGE>
