Abstract: A receiver in a wireless communication system detects a possibly interfering radar signal, and uses dynamic frequency selection to switch to a non-interfering channel. The power level and the channel of the radar signal may be detected. When a radar signal that exceeds a predetermined power level is detected, the receiver may be tuned until the channel of the radar signal matches the communication receiver channel. The communication receiver may then be tuned to a higher quality channel to mitigate or avoid interference between communication signals and the radar signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making a FC emulsion. The method comprises mixing an FC immiscible hydrophilic liquid and a solid emulsifying agent by agitation at a temperature elevated above the phase transition temperature of the emulsifying agent and below the boiling temperature of the FC immiscible hydrophilic liquid, and adding FC to the mixture of step (a) and agitating at the elevated temperature to disperse droplets of FC in the FC immiscible hydrophilic liquid to form the FC emulsion. The invention also provides another method of making an FC emulsion, which does not require a solid emulsifying agent. The method comprises mixing an FC immiscible hydrophilic liquid and an emulsifying agent to form a first mixture; mixing a stabilizing agent with the first mixture to form a second mixture; and mixing FC with the second mixture to form a third mixture to disperse droplets of FC in the FC immiscible hydrophilic liquid and to form the FC emulsion, wherein the stabilizing agent reduces ability of the droplets to move within a continuous phase of the FC emulsion.

Abstract: In a paper manufacturing process a web (11) of paper or carton feeds between a lower shoe drum (2) with a flexible mantle (5) and a heated overhead drum (3). The two drums form a broad nip (4) between their two faces. The mantle (5) is continually monitored for signs of damage that would indicate the onset of fire. If fire is detected the drums are separated and the web continues through the nip as a fire blanket. Mantle damage is detected by monitoring a change in pressure within a void (8) surrounded by the mantle. The shoe drum is monitored by an optical device e.g. a camera. In the event of a web break the web winds itself around either the top or bottom drum behind the wide nip. The rolled-up web is detached from the drum when the accumulated paper reaches a pre-determined thickness on the drum.
