Title: Interference control via selective blanking/attenuation of interfering transmissions
Inventor: TEAGUE EDWARD HARRISON
IPC: H04W52/24
Filed: 2005-04-08
Abstract: Inter-sector interference for a target user in a sector may be controlled by selectively blanking or attenuating transmit powers for interfering users in neighboring sectors whenever their transmissions collide. The sector provides the frequency hopping (FH) sequence or subband usage for the target user to the neighboring sectors. Each neighboring sector uses the target user's FH  sequence to form a blanking pattern. Each neighboring sector then either blanks or reduces transmit power for each subband in its blanking pattern.  Each user in each neighboring sector receives either (1) punctured symbols for subbands in the blanking pattern, if blanking is performed, or (2) lower energy symbols for these subbands, if attenuation is performed. In any case, the target user and each neighboring user may process their received symbols in the normal manner and do not need to be informed of the blanking/attenuation.

Title: Switching mechanism with mechanical interlocking and manual override
Inventor: FILIPPENKO ALEXANDER S
IPC: H01H9/26
Filed: 2005-12-21
Abstract: A switching mechanism provides sequential switching of first and second circuit breakers to enable switching between a primary power supply and a backup power supply. The switching mechanism comprises a first actuator plate to operate a first circuit breaker connected to a primary power supply, a second actuator plate to operate a second circuit breaker connected to a secondary power supply, and an actuator. The first and second actuator plates are independently movable between on and off positions. The actuator is operatively connected to the first and second actuator plates so that the actuator moves the first actuator plate to an on position and the second actuator plate to an off position when the actuator is moved in a first direction, and moves the first actuator plate to an off position and the second actuator plate to an on position when the actuator is moved in a second direction. An override enables movement of the first and second actuator plates from the on position to the off position when the other actuator plate is in the off position. The switching mechanism can be installed in an existing distribution panel in a home of building.

Title: Method of making coated article by sputtering cast target to form zinc oxide inclusive layer(s)
Inventor: BOBROWSKI SEBASTIAN
IPC: C23C14/32
Filed: 2005-12-21
Abstract: A coated article includes a coating which has a zinc oxide inclusive layer provided as a contact layer under and directly contacting an infrared (IR) reflecting layer of a material such as silver. It has been found that the emissivity (or emittance) of the coated article can be reduced by sputtering a cast target(s) to form the zinc oxide inclusive contact layer - as opposed to sputtering a target formed by plasma spraying or the like. Thus, it has unexpectedly been found that the emissivity and/or resistivity of an IR  reflecting layer can be improved (i.e., lowered) by using a cast target to sputter-form the contact layer located immediately under the IR reflecting layer.

Abstract: A method and system for directed call establishment to anchor selected cellular calls in a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or an IP Multi-Media Subsystem (IMS) network employs a mobile handset application client to interrupt selected cellular call initiations and request a directed call establishment number from a converged services node. A call placed to the directed call establishment number creates a call signaling path through the converged services node in the VoIP or IMS network, which can then exercise control over the call to provide enhanced call services. The converged services node completes 4 call connection to the original called number in a manner transparent to the user of the mobile handset.
