Title: Global paging with reverse virtual call setup in wireless personal communications
Inventor: GITLIN RICHARD DENNIS
IPC: H04W68/00
Filed: 1995-04-27
Granted: 1999-08-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus providing communications between mobile units and other communications devices, is disclosed wherein, in response to a request to call a mobile unit from an originating communications device, a paging signal is sent via a global communications network and received by a mobile unit.  The paging signal contains caller and callee identification codes, which are decoded by the mobile unit.  A paging response signal, in the form of a reverse call setup signal, is then transmitted from the mobile unit to the originating communications device. Transmission of the paging signal is preferrably stopped when a correspondence condition exists such that the caller and callee identification codes of the paging signal correspond to the caller and caller identification codes of the paging response signal.

Abstract: A compact chain belt-type conveyor for conveying articles along a non-linear path through an industrial washer and drier.  The chain belt-type conveyor provides an article  sensing  means  wherein  the  sensing  means is responsive to the presence of an article at a predetermined station  along  a  predetermined  non-linear  path.    A signalling means, responsive to the sensing means, signals a driving means to stop the conveyor when an article is present at the predetermined station for a predetermined amount of time and starts when an article is absent from the predetermined station.  The signalling means ensures that each article will only be placed through one washing and drying cycle since a washed article must be removed from the predetermined station of the conveyor before the driving means will continue to drive the conveyor.   An article holding means may  be  provided  to  secure  the articles along the conveyor and provide proper orientation of the articles through the washing and drying process.  A chain mesh construction conveyor may also be utilized to support and carry articles without the use of the article holding means.  In the preferred embodiment, the non-linear shape of the conveyor is substantially u-shaped so that articles  can be  loaded and unloaded to and  from the conveyor by either a single operator or a single automated mechanism.   The present invention also provides for a programmable robotic arm that responds to the presence of an article at the predetermined station.

Title: Attachment plate for insulation panels
Inventor: OLVERA GILBERT
IPC: B25C1/18
Filed: 1995-11-30
Granted: 1999-08-03
Abstract: An attachment plate is used to attach insulation panels to building substrates using internal combustion cordless nail setting tools loaded with collating strips for feeding and holding nails in the tool magazine.  The attachment plate has a washer and an annular chamber at a first end.  A wall of the annular chamber is defined by a band of fingers.  The interior of the attachment plate has a recess.  The attachment plate second end has flexible tabs.  The attachment plate is placed on a pilot and against a flange of a tool adapter.  The attachment plate is pushed into the insulation panel such that the tool muzzle bends and passes through the fingers.  When the tool is fired, a nail and nail collating ring are forced into and captured within the recess.  The tabs bend against the substrate if the insulation panel is of less than nominal thickness.

Abstract: Acoustic echos are canceled by employing a first echo canceler having a comparatively short first impulse response synthesis capability which is connected between a transmit path and receive path for generating a first error signal and for canceling echo signals in the transmit path, and at least a second echo canceler having a comparatively long second impulse response synthesis capability connected in parallel with the first echo canceler between the transmit and the receive path.  The second echo canceler is supplied with the first error signal from the first echo canceler and is adaptively operating simultaneously with but independent of the first echo canceler to further cancel echos in the transmit path. More specifically, the first echo canceler is intended to capture the direct path acoustic echo and any early arriving echos that are stable which are not time varying.  Since the direct path acoustic echo and the stable early arriving echos are not time varying, the adaptive adaptation rate, i.e.  loop gain, of the first echo canceler adaptation circuitry can be chosen to be a very small value so that it can adapt accurately in the presence of undetected near-end speech.  Then, with the direct path acoustic echo and any stable early arriving echos having been substantially removed by the first echo canceler, the first error signal output from the first echo canceler has a comparatively weaker echo component to corrupt any near-end speech that might bepresent and, consequently, the near-end speech can be more reliably detected by monitoring the first error signal from the first echo canceler.  Since the near-end speech can be more reliably detected by employing the first error signal from the first echo canceler, the adaptation rate of the second echo canceler can be chosen to be at a significantly faster rate without undo impairment caused by undetected near-end speech. In a specific embodiment of the invention, the first echo canceler employs a transversal filter having predetermined  fixed coefficients in order to cancel the direct path acoustic echo component and any stable early arriving echos.

Granted: 2001-02-27
Abstract: The pharmaceutical composition, especially for treating skin with seborrhea, Acne vulgaris and androgonically conditioned alopecia, contains a hormonal agent including the gestogen, dienogest, or a combination of dienogest and an estrogen, as active ingredient. Methods for treatment of this type of skin condition include topical application of the composition including the dienogest which results in an outstanding sebosuppression, a drastic reduction of androstandiol glucuronide and a moderate competitive blockage of androgen receptor sites. Galenic formulations are described which limit and/or prevent the permeation of the active ingredient through the skin. The pharmaceutical preparation including the dienogest and conventional dermatologically acceptable carrier and auxiliary substances in the described galenic formulation advantageously provides a drastic reduction in androstandiol glucuronide and moderate androgen receptor blockage without passing through the skin barrier so that systemic effects including side reactions are substantially prevented.

Abstract: A unipolar ignition of the invention provides a current waveform at the ignitor plug which initially rises relatively slowly, followed by a transition to a fast rising current which quickly peaks and thereafter slowly dissipates.  Such a current waveform provides an initially hotter and longer lasting spark which does not harm the ignitor plug of the system or shorten its life expectancy.  Neither does the spark create stress on the solid state circuitry which delivers the energy to the ignitor plug.  To provide the foregoing spark and current characteristics, an inductor having a saturable core is in series with the ignitor plug, and it provides an initially high inductance which limits the rate of current rise at the plug as energy is transferred from an energy storage device to the plug.  As the current through the inductor increases, its core begins to saturate and the effective inductance begins to decrease, allowing the current to rise more quickly.  As energy is transferred to the ignitor plug, the increasing saturation, decreasing inductance and increasing current complement one another, causing the rate of current rise to increase quickly to a high value desirable for ignition.  Related features of the invention provide for easy diagnostics of the spark and for timing an ignition sequence and providing a repetition rate which aids in a successful ignition.
