Patent CA-2788563-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SEBENI JOHNSON
IPC: H04W24/00
Filed: 2011-01-26
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for correcting quantization errors in signal reception based on estimated network loading including solutions for preserving cellular network performance in low noise, high interference environments. In one embodiment, a data channel is amplified with respect to other signals based on network load during periods of relatively low network utilization. Dynamic modification of the data channel's power level is configured to overcome quantization errors, rather than the true noise floor (which is insignificant in low noise environments). Such solutions provide both the fidelity necessary to enable high degrees of unwanted signaling rejection, while still preserving data channel quality.

Filed: 2011-06-13
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the transmission of data packets, and to systems and methods for improving the utilization of available bandwidth. In various embodiments, a transmitting device may calculate a first data integrity value based on the payload of a network packet and a static datum {e.g., sender identification information). The first data integrity value is transmitted with the network packet while the static datum is omitted. A receiving device may be configured to replace the omitted static datum upon receipt of the network packet. This static data is pre- configured in the receiving device or communicated using an alternative method. The receiving device may then calculate a second data integrity value based on the received network packet payload and the static datum. The second data integrity value may only match the first data integrity value if the transmitting device and receiving device use the same static datum.

Inventor: REMIS STEVEN J
IPC: A61J7/02
Filed: 2005-03-15
Abstract: A singulating disc (20), carried by a housing, has a plurality of openings (28) around its periphery. The disc (20) rotates vertically through a pickup chamber of a hopper (12) carried by the housing. A vacuum is pulled through the openings (28) by a pump which is connected to the disc (20). Items are placed in the hopper (12) and, via gravity, fall to the bottom of the hopper (12) where they contact the periphery of the rotating disc (20). The vacuum at the openings attaches an item and holds it while the disc (20) rotates. At the top of the disc's rotation, a diverter (26) directs the item into a path depending on the results of a fragment detection and/or counting mechanism. Items that are allowed to pass by the diverter (26) are scraped off the disc into another path by a scraper (15). Negative pressure is used to singulate and count a multitude of sizes and shapes of items with no calibration. Retractable paddles (62), a vacuum management system, and RFID tags may be incorporated. The paddles (62) aid in the pickup and agitation of the items while the vacuum management system conserves the vacuum capacity necessary to pickup and singulate items. The RFID tags may contain information such as the number of items left in the hopper, a par level for that item, an expiration date, among others. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.
