IPC: F16C43/00
Filed: 2005-03-03
Abstract: A bearing assembly lockable onto a shaft. The bearing assembly comprises a first tapered adapter defining a first axial bore for the receipt of the shaft which has an outer, annular tapered surface. There is a second tapered adapter defining a second axial bore for receipt of a sleeve portion of the first adapter.

Title: Antenna diversity arrangement and method
Inventor: SKARBY ULF
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 2004-06-15
Abstract: The invention relates to an antenna diversity arrangement and a radio base station (RBS) in a frequency divided mobile cellular system with sectorized cells. Space diversity or polarization diversity is provided by providing at least two branches (A, B). In accordance with the invention an operator frequency band is divided into a plurality of bands for transmitting and receiving (TX bands and RX bands). All sectors (S1, S2, S3) are branch wise combined in a respective tower mounted amplifier (26, 27). TX signals within the TX bands belonging to a TMA are diplexed and simultaneously transmitted on the sectors (S1-S3). RF signals received on one branch of a sector are combined with RF signals received on the corresponding sector in the other branches. The RX signals so combined are fed to the radio base station on a single feeder together with the TX signals fed in the opposite direction from transceivers (TRX) of the base station to the same TMA. A sector may be assigned two or more TX frequencies. Frequency hopping within each TX band may optionally be provided (synth hopping). If two or more TX frequencies are assigned to a sector synth hopping may be combined with frequency hopping between the TX bands assigned to the sector in the A branch as well as the TX  bands assigned to the corresponding sector in the B branch.

Title: Pressure toilet with bulk loading siphon assist
Inventor: ZIMBRIC LUKE BENJAMIN
IPC: E03D11/02
Filed: 2006-03-03
Abstract: A pressure toilet (10) has a trapway (18) providing "as needed" (bulk dependent) siphon assist. During normal liquid waste or low bulk flushing, no siphon is formed in the trapway, and the water and light waste in the bowl are evacuated solely under the force of the pressurized jet of water. A large volume (30) near or just downstream from the dam (28) is provided to accommodate the blow out from the water jet. Only upon reaching a threshold concentration of bulk waste material in the down leg (32) does the trapway draw a siphon. A horizontal baffle (36) at the lower part of the down leg assists in the accumulation of bulk material of sufficient concentration to establish a siphon in the trapway.
