Title: Signaling message transmission in a wireless communication network
Inventor: PALANKI RAVI
IPC: H04L5/00
Filed: 2009-03-27
Abstract: Techniques for sending signaling messages in a wireless communication network are described. In an aspect, a sig-naling message (e.g., a reduce interference request) may be sent by mapping it to at least one specific subcarrier among a set of subcarriers reserved for sending the signaling message. The at least one subcarrier may be selected based on the message value. A  signal may be sent on the at least one subcarrier in multiple symbol periods to convey the signaling message. In another aspect, a reduce interference request may be sent based on an orthogonal resource among orthogonal resources available for sending reduce interference requests. In one design, an orthogonal sequence may be selected based on the request and may be spread across a re-source segment. In another design, the reduce interference request may be processed to obtain modulation symbols, and each mod-ulation symbol may be spread across multiple subcarriers in one symbol period.

Title: Thermally switched optical downconverting filter
Inventor: MCCARTHY WIL
IPC: G02B1/10
Filed: 2008-01-24
Abstract: A thermally switched optical downconverting (TSOD) filter is a self-regulating device including a downconverter that converts incoming light at a variety of wavelengths into longer-wavelength radiation and then directs it using one or more bandblock filters in either the inward or outward direction, depending on the temperature of the device. This control over the flow of radiant energy occurs independently of the thermal conductivity or insulating properties of the device and may or may not preserve the image and color properties of incoming visible light. The TSOD filter has energy-efficiency implications, as it can be used to regulate the internal temperature and illumination of buildings, vehicles, and other structures without the need for an external power supply or operator signals. The TSOD filter also has aesthetic implications, since the device has unique optical properties that are not found in traditional windows, skylights, stained glass, light fixtures, glass blocks, bricks, or walls. The TSOD filter has particular, but not exclusive, application as a building material.
