Abstract: A dispenser for mixing together multiple fluids, such as foam components and dispensing the mixed fluids includes a body portion of the dispenser with fluid entrances and an exit. A handle extends from the body portion to facilitate grasping and operation by a user. A flow control valve is positioned in the body portion for controlling flow of foam components entering the dispenser mixing chamber. The trigger is movably mounted to the body portion in opposition to and spaced apart from the handle. A safety for preventing unintended operation of the dispenser is movably mounted to and extends lengthwise of the trigger that is always biased into a safety position. The safety has an arm for preventing movement of the trigger sufficient to cause unintended operation of the flow control valve, and the safety may be disengaged by the same single-handed action used to actuate the dispenser to dispense the mixed fluids.

Abstract: This invention provides a method and system for distributing multiband wireless communications signals. The present invention employs a novel hybrid/cascaded architecture that links a main unit to multiple remote units by optical fibers. Downlink RF signals in a plurality of downlink frequency bands transmitted from a plurality of wireless communications networks are received and then combined into a combined downlink RF signal at the main unit. The combined downlink RF signal is subsequently split into multiple downlink RF-parts, which are converted to multiple downlink optical signals and optically transmitted to the remote units. At each remote unit, a delivered downlink optical signal is first converted back to a downlink RF-part which is subsequently separated into a plurality of downlink RF-groups by frequency band. Each downlink RF-group is individually conditioned (e.g., filtered and amplified). The individual-conditioned downlink RF-groups are then combined and transmitted to a dedicated downlink antenna. The present invention supports both FDD and TDD protocols in a simple and flexible way. The present invention further utilizes various frequency translations to facilitate separation of downlink RF signals into downlink RF-groups by using economical means (such as RF-filtering) in a remote unit. The frequency-translations also prevent the interference effects and intermodulation products amongst different frequency bands. Moreover, the gain for each of the downlink RF-groups is individually calibrated and established at a prescribed level, and further maintained over temperature changes and other effects. As such, the present invention provides an efficient, flexible, and economical way of transporting and distributing wireless communication signals in multiple (adjacent, intertwined, or otherwise) frequency bands. <IMAGE>

Abstract: According to the present invention, an image coding apparatus provides a run-length encoding unit RLE1 that subjects quantized coefficients which are obtained by quantizing frequency components of an image signal to a variable length coding process by using a run value Run that indicates the number of successive zero coefficients and a level value Lev that indicates a value of a non-zero coefficient following the zero coefficients. The run-length encoding unit RLE1 includes an reordering unit Lreodr for reordering level values Lev; a variable length coder LVLC for coding reordered level values ROLev by using a code table that is selected according to the value of a quantization parameter QP; a reordering unit Rreodr for reordering run values Run from high frequency component of the quantized coefficients to low frequency component; and a variable length coder RVLC for coding reordered run values RORun by using a code table that is selected according to the number of already-processed run values. Accordingly, a variable length coding process for quantized coefficients is carried out at a higher coding efficiency, with redundant information included in the coefficients being effectively reduced.
