IPC: H04B1/00
Filed: 2002-11-20
Abstract: The invention provides a mechanism for automatically setting reverse link gain or power for a repeater (120) used in a communication system (100) through the use of the reverse link power control of a built-in wireless communications device. By embedding a wireless communication device (430, 630, 700) inside the repeater and injecting reverse link signals of the embedded device into the reverse link of the repeater (124A, 124B), the gain of the repeater is maintained relatively constant. The embedded WCD can also be activated on a periodic basis to make calls and utilize reverse link power-control to calibrate or re-calibrate the gain of the repeater, making it a power-controlled repeater.

Abstract: Method and apparatus to compute the combiner coefficients for wireless communication systems for a space-time solution. One embodiment trains the weights on a signal known a priori that is time multiplexed with other signals, such as a pilot signal in a High Data Rate, HDR, system, wherein the signal is transmitted at full power. A Minimizing Mean Square Error, MMSE, approach is applied allowing weight combining on a per path basis. The weights are calculated as a function of a noise correlation matrix and spatial signature per path. The noise correlation matrix is determined from an autocorrelation matrix of the received signal. In one embodiment, the MMSE approach is applied to a non-time gated pilot signal.

Abstract: A method for measuring threshold voltage and average surface doping
concentration of a semiconductor wafer begins by exposing a measurement site to a high
intensity light immediately before a measurement sweep begins. A CV measurement sweep
is made with the voltage increasing to a maximum voltage, and the response of the
semiconductor wafer to CV measurement sweep is recorded. When the voltage is at the
maximum voltage, the light is turned off and the capacitance of the measurement site in the
absence of light is measured until the capacitance reaches equilibrium. From the recorded
response, the threshold voltage and the average surface doping concentration are determined.

Abstract: A spray head (18) for a faucet or the like has a wand body defining a flow path from an inlet
to first and second outlets. Diverter seats (68,98) are provided so a face seal on a diverter spool (118) can
direct flow to the first or second outlet. The spool (118) is positioned by a trigger acting on cam
surfaces formed on a toggle. A spring biases the toggle to one of two stable states. Movement
of the spool (118) by the trigger causes the toggle to change states so subsequent actuation of the
trigger causes the spool to move in the opposite direction. The wand body also has a pause
button that reciprocates in a chamber that is part of the flow path. The chamber includes a
valve seat and the pause button has a spool having a face seal that is engageable with the valve
seat to shut off flow through the spray head. A return spring causes separation of the pause
button's face seal upon release of pressure on the pause button. The pause button's seals in the
chamber are arranged to have equal diameters and thus provide balanced hydraulic forces on
the spool.
