Title: Pre-cut fibrous insulation for custom fitting wall cavities of different widths
Inventor: ALLWEIN ROBERT J
IPC: E04B1/76
Filed: 2002-02-14
Abstract: An elongated fibrous insulation blanket is pre-cut for custom fitting the insulation blanket into wall, floor, ceiling and roof cavities of different widths formed by the framework of a building. The blanket has one or more cuts extending for the length of the blanket which separate the blanket into two or more longitudinally extending sections. Adjacent sections of the blanket are joined together along the cut(s) by separable connectors which hold together the sections of the blanket for handling, but are separable by hand along the cut(s) so that the blanket can be handled as a unit for insulating a cavity having a predetermined width or easily separated by hand into two or more sections at a cut for insulating a cavity having a lesser width. Preferably, the separable connectors are formed by portions of sheets, overlaying and bonded to either or both major surfaces of the blanket, that are separable by hand along the cut(s) or by strips that extend along the cut(s) and are bonded to either or both major surfaces of the blanket on each side of the cut(s).

Abstract: The system and apparatus of the present invention is generally comprised of an articulated, steerable, load absorbing multi-axis, recessed, cargo handling device, which is installed within and below the cargo deck of an aircraft being suspended from the underside of a structurally reinforced deck plate. The apparatus of the present invention is preferably equipped with at least one motor driven, rotationally activated wheel assembly mounted in the middle of a load absorbing, multi-axis mounting armature, with a passive spring response system at one end of said armature, which permits said rotationally activated wheel assembly to be passively moved below the plane of the cargo deck without operator manipulation, actuators, motors or gears, to permit the efficient passage of pallets over the deck plate of the present invention. The preferred embodiment of the current invention incorporates an electrically actuated pair of DC brushless motors, and a control module, connected to a rotating deck plate apparatus to effect movement of the drive unit, about a vertical and horizontal axis with the effect of selectively changing the direction a given cargo pallet is moved. The present invention further incorporates a mechanical clutch assembly to disengage the powered wheel drive system to effect movement of the pallet assembly in forward or reverse without the need for fully retracting the wheel drive assembly. The present invention also incorporates a circular CAM track and plurality of cam followers with clean-outs and a rack and pinion gear drive assembly mounted on the structurally reinforced inner deck plate, to effect rotation of the deck plate inside an outer deck collar. The innovative details of the preferred embodiment of the present invention will become obvious to those skilled in the art of aircraft cargo handling systems by examining the drawings and text contained herein and reducing them to practice, to achieve a reduction in maintenance, lighter weight, fewer components, and higher reliability than previous rotationally activated-steerable aircraft cargo handling systems associated with prior art.

Title: Integrated beamforming/rake/mud cdma receiver architecture
Inventor: SMARRELLI ROBERT
IPC: H04K1/00
Filed: 2001-02-09
Abstract: A spread-spectrum demodulator architecture (10) is presented which utilizes parallel (Fig. 1) processing to accomplish rapid signal acquisition with simultaneous tracking of multiple channels, while implementing an integrated  multi-element adaptive beamformer, Rake combiner, and multi-user detector (MUD). A matched filter computational architecture is utilized, in which common digital arithmetic elements are used for both acquisition and trackin g purposes. As each channel is sequentially acquired by the parallel matched filter, a subset of the arithmetic elements are then dedicated to the subsequent tracking of that channel. Additionally, multiple data inputs and delay lines are present, connecting the sampled baseband data streams of numerous RF bands and antenna elements with the arithmetic elements. The matched filter/despreader processing is virtually independent of channel origin or utilization; e.g., CDMA users, RF bands, beamformer elements, or Rake Fingers. Integration of the beamformer weighting computation with the demodulator results in substantial savings by sharing the existing circuitry  performing carrier tracking and AGC. An optimal demodulator solution can be achieved through unified "space/time" processing, by providing all observabl es (element snapshots, Rake Fingers, carrier/symbol SNR/phase, etc.), for multiple channels, to a single adaptive algorithm processor that can beamfor m, Rake, and perform joint detection (MUD).

Abstract: Headbox transient response for sheet weight and moisture are modeled as a combination of two sets of time constants and dead time delays. One set represents a shorter delay with faster response dynamics, the fast mode weight and moisture responses, and the other models the longer delay with slower dynamics, the slow mode weight and moisture responses. A weight and/or moisture transient model is then formed for headbox changes by combining the fast mode weight and moisture responses and the slow mode weight and moisture responses. Stock weight and moisture dynamic and delay time models are determined for operation of stock flow of the paper making machine and the stock flow is controlled in accordance with the stock weight and/or moisture models and the headbox weight transient and/or moisture transient model to compensate for weight and moisture changes in a web of paper being manufacture which weight and moisture changes result from headbox changes.
