Granted: 1987-05-28
Abstract: An improved pile-type, fin weatherstrip includes an elongated V- or U-shaped barrier fin bonded to a base strip and located between a pair of upstanding pile fiber arrays. The barrier fin is formed of thermoplastic film which is preferably smooth, but which may be roughened, dimpled or otherwise provided with a large number of pockets, or which may have a flocked surface. A lubricant grease is provided in the channel shaped cavity of the barrier fin, which lubricant is progressively dispensed in response to a wiping action type of movement which occurs when the barrier fin is compressed by the pile arrays during usage. The lubricant grease is exuded progressively over the useful life of the weatherstrip toward the free edges of the barrier fin located at or near the forward projecting face of the weatherstrip where such grease is dispensed in small amounts to decrease breakaway force, lower sliding friction and improved air infiltration characteristics. The barrier fin may be perforated so that lubricant grease is also forced into the fibers of the pile arrays where it will also work to the surface of the weatherstrip and improve the aforementioned properties.

Title: Time of arrival based positioning during handover
Inventor: HUSSAIN TAHIR
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2000-07-07
Granted: 2004-09-30
Abstract: A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for allowing an ongoing Time of Arrival (TOA) based positioning of a mobile station to proceed if a radio related handover has occurred before the expiration of a delta timer in a Base Station Controller (BSC). The BSC stores an HOTIMER value therein, which corresponds to the amount of time involved in a normal radio-related handover procedure from the sending of a Handover Command to the reception of a Handover Complete message. If the BSC delta timer is active, e.g., positioning is ongoing, and the BSC determines that a radio related handover is needed, the BSC checks the amount of time remaining in the BSC delta timer. If that amount is more than the HOTIMER, then the ongoing positioning is not canceled.

Filed: 1999-10-12
Granted: 2003-03-20
Abstract: The battery powered or 120 VAC powered environmental condition detector of the present invention is designed to provide an early warning of the presence of an environmental condition (smoke or carbon monoxide gas or natural gas or propane gas or any multiple combination of these offending agents) to persons in remote areas of a building. The detector sensing the environmental condition emits an audible tonal pattern alarm, while transmitting a radio signal directly to other environmental condition detectors to activate their alarms and to activate an electronically stored human voice recording (or synthesized voice) that indicates the location of the environmental condition detector sensing the environmental condition, or the type of environmental condition, or both. Rechargeable light modules separate from the detector are included that receive the signal from the detector sensing the environmental condition and illuminate areas and paths of egress for the duration of the alarm condition or in case of 120 VAC power failure. All components of the system are easy to install due to the modular design and conventional power sources. An intermittent activation of the electronic circuitry in the detector unit may be used to conserve battery energy in the battery powered embodiment.
