Title: Aerosol generator and methods of making and using an aerosol generator
Inventor: KENNETH A COX
IPC: A24F40/70
Filed: 2002-05-16
Abstract: An aerosol generator includes a flow passage having an inlet and an outlet, a heater arranged relative to the flow passage for heating the flow passage, a source of material to be volatilized in communication with the inlet of the flow passage, a valve to open and close communication between the source of material and the inlet of the flow passage, and a pressurization arrangement for causing material in the source of material to be introduced into the flow passage when the valve is in an open position. The aerosol generator further includes a source of power for operating the heater and the valve, and a control device for controlling supply of power from the source of power to the heater and the valve. A metering device in an inhaler includes a pressurized source of medicated fluid and a metering chamber configured to deliver a predetermined volume of fluid to a heated flow passage in the inhaler. The metering chamber can be part of a rotary valve having a bore and a displacement member moveable within the bore from a first position where the fluid is loaded into the bore to a second position where the predetermined volume is ejected out of the bore. Another metering chamber has an elastic portion of a delivery passage in fluid communication with the pressurized source of liquid and the elastic portion of the delivery passage is deformed to eject the predetermined volume.

Title: System and method for reducing dropped calls in a wireless communications network
Inventor: CHIN TOM
IPC: H04W36/08
Filed: 2002-09-20
Abstract: A system and method for managing wireless communications system resources. The system includes a first mechanism that determines currently available wireless communications system traffic resources and provides a signal in response thereto. A second mechanism de-allocates wireless communications system supplemental resources and reallocates the supplemental resources as traffic resources in response to the signal. In a specific embodiment, the currently available wireless communications system traffic resources include currently available traffic channels, and the supplemental resources include supplemental channels. The first mechanism includes a mechanism that compares a number of in-use traffic channels with a number of total traffic channels and provides the signal when the difference between the number of total traffic channels and the number of in-use traffic channels is less than a predetermined threshold. The first mechanism further includes a mechanism that monitors when a call handoff request and/or a call origination request is blocked at a base station transceiver subsystem call resource manager and provides the signal when the call is blocked. The second mechanism includes a mechanism for sending a message to a selector bank subsystem radio link manager, receiving a response from the selector bank subsystem radio link manager and de-allocating the supplemental resources.

Title: System and method for providing access to a wireless communication service to a group of subscriberswho share a set of modems.
Inventor: FAUS JUAN
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2003-09-23
Abstract: A system and method for transparently providing access to a wireless communication service to a group of subscribers who share a set of modems, where each subscriber in the group is provided with a subscriber unit and each subscriber in the group is associated with static and dynamic authentication information. According to one embodiment, the system includes a transceiver system for transmitting radio wave frequency signals to and receiving radio wave frequency signals from a base station; a set of modems, wherein each modem in the set is coupled to the transceiver system; a set of subscriber units, wherein each subscriber unit is associated with authentication information; a switch coupled to each of the modems and coupled to each of the subscriber units; a control system in communication with the switch and each of the modems; and a database for storing the authentication information, wherein the database is accessible to the control system. The control system determines an available modem from the set of modems when one of the subscriber units is activated. Further, the control system directs the switch to connect the activated subscriber unit with the available modem, retrieves from the database authentication information associated with the activated subscriber unit, and provides the available modem with the retrieved authentication information. In this manner, the authentication information associated with the activated subscriber unit is provided to the modem that is handling the call. Consequently, the modem handling the call can transparently authenticate the subscriber unit in the same manner as in a conventional wireless communication service.

Patent HK-1109517-A1 (HK)
Title: Methods and apparatus for synchronization detection and power control during soft handover
Inventor: LINDOFF BENGT
IPC: H04B/
Filed: 2008-01-03
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining when uplink synchronization has been achieved when entering or adding a link in soft handover to a new node in a communication system. Transmit power control (TPC) commands from the new link are not included in a TPC command combination until an uplink synchronization detector determines that synchronization has been achieved. Since in many communication systems, a pattern of TPC commands is transmitted on the new downlink as long as the new node's uplink is not synchronized, the uplink synchronization detector can determine whether synchronization has been achieved by determining whether the TPC command pattern is present in the new downlink. In this way, the UL synchronization detector reduces the occurrence and magnitude of unwanted peaks and dips in uplink transmitted power.

Title: Load interrupter switch
Inventor: HOGL VITUS
IPC: H01H33/66
Filed: 1999-06-30
Abstract: The invention concerns a load interrupter switch (1) for voltages in the kV range, with a vacuum interrupter chamber (2) which is surrounded in a gap-free manner by a sleeve (4) formed from elastomer material having high dielectric strength. The sleeve (4) is in turn clamped by the two halves (11 and 12) of the housing of the load interrupter switch (1). In this way, external flashover of the high voltage between the end plates (24 and 25) of the vacuum interrupter chamber (2) is effectively prevented during switching operations without the need for liquid or gaseous media. In this way, in contrast to conventional load interrupter switches, complicated monitoring is unnecessary and the load interrupter switch is not harmful to the environment.

Title: A protective garment
Inventor: HUGHES HENRY SYLVESTER
IPC: A41D13/05
Filed: 2008-02-14
Abstract: A garment for holding a kneepad to be used by tradesmen who are required to spend long periods of time in the kneeling position.  The garment comprises a number of pockets which can hold the insertion kneepad at a number of different heights respectively.  This can be useful as people of different heights may use the garment and also a user may require the kneepad to be at different heights depending on the angle of the surface they are kneeling on.  The garment is designed to present only one opening as access to all of the different pockets which is useful in construction site environments as any strips of cloth such as an opening presents a risk of being snagged or caught on a nearby protruding object.  This is a health hazard to the user of the garment.
