Inventor: VEEN PHILLIP J
IPC: A47B95/04
Filed: 2005-11-30
Abstract: An ornamental modular columnar moulding system having a groove and spline that joins two or more modular moulding pieces together to form a unitary columnar moulding that can be readily attached to a surface of a piece of furniture, cabinet, frame, or the like. Each modular moulding piece includes an end surface that conforms to an end of another modular moulding piece such that the end surfaces align when positioned to make end-to-end contact with each other. Each modular moulding piece has a substantially planar surface and a front surface. When two or more moulding pieces are aligned end-to-end, the planar surfaces align and the touching front surfaces form an ornamental columnar moulding. Each back surface includes a longitudinally positioned groove that also aligns with at least portions of the grooves on other moulding pieces. A spline, which may be rounded or partially rounded or other shape, is fitted within the groove at least by and between each aligned and contacting modular moulding piece in order to form one unitary columnar ornamental moulding suitable for adhering to a surface of furniture and the like with virtually no gaps or misalignment between the adjoining modular pieces.

Filed: 2004-06-02
Abstract: A wireless communication system (100) comprises a wireless infrastructure supporting communication for a plurality of mobile communication units (112-115). The wireless infrastructure comprises a processor (175) configured to generate a frequency re-use plan. The processor (175) generates a frequency re-use plan based on a relationship between one or more interference metrics, such as carrier to interference, and one or more quality of services for a plurality of communication types. In this manner, the inventive concepts support frequency planning for a radio system with multiple traffic types.  Furthermore, non-uniform allocation of penalties on different radio carriers in the same radio cell can be used. This allows different re-use distances to be achieved for different radio carriers. In so doing, it is now possible to plan for a different quality of service on individual radio carriers.

Title: Method and apparatus for fabricating high fin-density heatsinks
Inventor: ZAGHLOL AHMED
IPC: B23P19/04
Filed: 2006-04-06
Abstract: A dual base plate heatsink for use in dissipating heat for electronic devices has sufficient thermal contact between fins and the base plates and is manufactured without the requirement for welding. Separately extruded fins are connected to both base plates by placing the fins side by side in channels in both base plates. In order to couple the base plates and the fins, the base plates are maintained at a constant relative distance and a swaging tool is passed adjacent the fins and between the base plates in a direction parallel to the surface of the base plates. The swaging tool asserts pressure to the base plates to thereby swage the base plates against the ends of the fins. Undesirable warping of the base plates during the process is reduced or prevented by providing a base plate configuration that minimises the bending moment between the swaged base plate material and the rest of the base plate.
