Title: Portable inclimetric resistance exercise device
Inventor: TOUPS LANNY J
IPC: A63B23/035
Filed: 1999-01-14
Granted: 2004-03-23
Abstract: The invention is a portable exercise device which creates a controlled and infinitely variable resistance profile. The exercise device, creates this infinitely variable resistance using springs or elastic bands to create the input resistance versus the use of a weight stack as normally used in most exercise equipment. The advantage of this device over conventional exercise devices is that usage of this resistance medium creates a portable exercise device that can create an infinitely variable resistance profile. The exercise devise may be used while traveling and/or in the home. The ease with which the input resistance elements, such as elastic bands or springs, may be changed makes this device much more versatile for exercising a wider range of muscle groups while using one portable machine.

Abstract: A downhole telemetry system (10) for remote communication is disclosed. The system (10) includes a downhole transmitter (44) that radiates an electromagnetic signal (46) carrying information into the earth. The electromagnetic signal (46) is received by a subsea repeater (48) that processes and retransmits the information through the sea. A remote station (54) receives the information from the subsea repeater (48) and stores the information. A master station (70) periodically polls the remote station (54) to request the information using meteor burst trails (76) to reflect radio waves (80) between the master station (70) and the remote station (54). Following the request, the remote station (54) generates radio waves (80) carrying the information that are reflected off meteor burst trails (78) and received by the master station (54).

Granted: 2010-11-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing soft hand-off in a mobile communication system. In current systems, members of an active set of base stations (4, 4A, 4B, 4C) are determined by comparing measured pilot energy with fixed thresholds. The value of providing a redundant communication link to a mobile station (2) primarily depends on the energy of other signals being provided to the mobile station (2). In the present invention, the signal strength of each signal transmitted by other base stations (4, 4A, 4B, 4C) in communication with a mobile station (2) is considered when determining whether to add a base station to the set of base stations (4, 4A, 4B, 4C) in communication with the remote station. A base station is added only if the signal received from that base station provides sufficient added value to justify the impact on system capacity.
