Abstract: A decanting apparatus for a waste water treatment reactor which includes a float system which may be independent of the decanting apparatus end which allows the decanting apparatus to be removed without removing the float system. The decanting apparatus is a unique ball-funnel-shaped sleeve combination which may be powered internally or externally for removal of effluent that allows decanting below the surface at the most optimum level and may be intermittently operated on demand by floating switches or a programable timer. The decanting apparatus may be utilized in various applications including a gravity flow situation and two or more of these decanting apparatus's may be combined to provide more volume of effluent if required. This decanter is also ideal for environments where lower temperature extremes may form ice upon the upper layer of the fluid within the reactor.

Abstract: A system and method delivers packetized data representing radio signals to and from cell sites (14,16,18,20), and to and from a destination point via a fast packet network (22). Each cell site includes an interface for packetizing the radio signals and transmitting the packetized data to its destination. The destination could be a delivery point at a switch connected to the telephone network (46), which then converts the packetized data into a form usable by the telephone network. Alternatively, the destination point could be another cell site, which then depacketizes the radio signal and retransmits the radio signal to another wireless communication device without connecting to the telephone network. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The protection system includes at least two varistors (100). Each varistor is sensitive to incoming voltage preventing voltage overloads and is associated to a device adapted to disconnect them at the life end. The device may be a spring (200) made of a thin strip bowed at the front (210). The spring is fixed to the varistor at one end (214) and soldered to it at an upper end (212). The spring ensures continuity of connection. When a varistor reaches the end of life, it heats up, and the spring is automatically desoldered, thus automatically breaking the electrical connection. A mechanical system is actuated to the spring to visually signal the varistor state.

Abstract: The signal acquisition process of the present invention enables a radio to rapidly acquire a pilot signal from a satellite after the radio has been out of contact with the satellite for a length of time. The radio first acquires a satellite pilot signal and determines its position in relation to the earth. If the radio is now shut off or loses track of the pilot signal for some other reason, the radio keeps track of the length of time that it has been out of contact with the satellite. This length of time enables the radio to estimate the extent of possible position changes and, therefore, which satellites might be in view and their relative positions to the radio. This allows the radio to make assumptions about variables such as the Doppler shift of the signal that reduces the uncertainty inherent in the acquisition process and the size of the window that must be searched.
