IPC: H04L69/40

Abstract: Methods, receivers and transmitters all adapted to assist in the performance of layer (2) frame delineation are provided which are applicable in the context of OFDM, and also applicable to any layer (1) design facilitating high data rate transmission. Advantageously, the invention allows the identification of where a layer (2) frame begins notwithstanding the fact that the previous layer (2) header, which would normally be used to identify the location of the next layer (2) frame, has been received in error. This means that rather than discarding a lot of data after an erroneous header, for example all data until a super-frame boundary, layer (2) frames can be correctly received starting with the next header received in a non-erroneous layer (1) frame. The method implemented at a transmitter, provided by one broad aspect of the invention involves prior to transmitting layer (1) frames, adding layer (2) boundary information to each layer (1) frame, the layer (2) boundary information indicating whether there is a layer (2) header within the layer (1) frame and indicating where in the layer (1) frame the layer (2) header begins. The layer (2) boundary information can consist of frame delineation bits added to each layer (1) frame. At a receiver of frames transmitted using the above noted transmit functionality, the receiver receives a sequence of layer (1) frames. For each layer (1) frame received, the boundary information is extracted from the layer (1) frame indicating whether there is a layer (2) header within the layer (1) frame, and indicating where in the layer (1) frame the layer (2) header begins.

Abstract: A cup holder (10) has an elongated drawer movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The retracted position is within the housing (12).  The extended position is outside the housing (12). The drawer (24) has a support platform which is pivotally secured to the drawer (24). The support platform (28) pivots between a non-supporting position when the drawer (24) is in the retracted position and a supporting position when the drawer (24) is in the extended position. A stabilizing arm is also secured to the drawer (24) and pivots between a non-stabilizing position when the drawer (24) is in the retracted position and a stabilizing position when the drawer (24) is in the extended position. Secured to the support platforms (28, 30) and the stabilizing arms are rods which have support and stabilizing pins extending out therefrom. The rods travel in slots cut out of vertical side walls of the housing. Because the slots have ramp angles, the support platforms (28, 30) and the stabilizing arms pivot between the use and non-use positions as the drawer (24) is moved between its retracted position and its extended position.  The stabilizing arm (56, 58) includes an aperture through which the support platform (28) pivots allowing the compact design of the drawer (24) assembly while having a support platform (28) in the stabilizing arm (56) aligned on top of each other so that a cup may be supported by the support platform (28) and stabilized by the stabilizing arm (56) when they are in the use positions.
