Title: Signal strength measurement in a wireless communication system
Inventor: RAITH ALEX KRISTER
IPC: H04W36/08
Filed: 1996-10-18
Granted: 2005-04-05
Abstract: Methods and devices for measuring signal strengths by mobile stations in a wireless communication system are described. More particularly, while transmitting and receiving on a channel, signal strength measurements may be required. For instance, the received signal strength of broadcast information slots at the beginning of a superframe may be measured at predetermined times for several carriers. However, the mobile station may be busy performing information reception or transmission tasks. According to one exemplary embodiment, the signal strength measurments may be delayed when the mobile is transmitting and receiving on a channel, and then more frequent signal strength measurements may be made when there is no communication. In other words, the signal strength measurements do not have to occur uniformly in time, but may be more frequently performed if they have been delayed. Alternatively, the mobile station can "steal" one or more time slots to perform the signal strength measurements by ignoring its tasks of receiving and/or transmitting information.

Abstract: A pair of angled disks supported by a four bar linkage from the upper end of theopener drawbar assembly clears trash from a narrow area in front of the opener. The four bar linkage has a virtual center located on or close to the center of the opener disk for good cleaning wheel tracking and for permitting the clearing disks to be spaced closely to the opener disk without interference between the disks. The clearing disks can rock vertically to follow ground contour and prevent excessive digging and soil movement. Shallow teeth on the disks also reduce soil penetration and soil disturbance.

Title: Injection mold for over-molding articles and an injection molding machine and method therefore
Inventor: GROSS KEVIN
IPC: B29C45/16
Filed: 1998-06-24
Granted: 2005-02-08
Abstract: This invention relates to a mold design, injection molding machine and a method for forming a multi-layer plastic article by over molding where the second layer of the article includes a portion having a different geometrical profile than the first one. The novel injection mold and injection molding machine for producing over-molded articles comprises an array of one or more cores which engage arrays of one or more first cavity and arrays of one or more composite cavities. Each composite cavity is formed from the combination of a second cavity and a cavity extension which carries at least a portion of the different geometrical profile, such as a thread. In one embodiment, the cavity extension comprises a pair of cavity portions which are mounted adjacent the core to laterally moveable slides on a movable plate, that can be a stripper plate. During molding of the first layer, the cavity extension elements are moved "out" of alignment with the first cavity and during molding of the second layer the cavity extension elements are moved "in" to form the composite cavity with the second cavity so that only the second layer replicates the geometrical profile of the composite cavity. In another embodiment of the invention, the cavity extension is a single element which is moved between a disengaged position wherein the core can be inserted into the first cavity and an engaged position wherein the core is inserted into the composite cavity.

Abstract: Apparatus and a process are provided for treating used drilling mud, particularly that produced during clearwater drilling. A structural and highway transportable skid comprises two or more settling tanks connected in succession. Flocculation aids settling of solids to the bottom and clarified liquid forms at the surface. Clarified liquid flows from one tank to the next successive tank. Clarified liquid is produced from the last of the successive settling tanks. The tanks have flat bottoms. Passageways extend between each successive tank for gravity-flowing liquid from one tank to successive settling tank. A solids tank is also mounted within the skid. The solids and settling tanks are located for weight-balancing. A rotational suction is positioned in the bottom of each settling tank and having one or more radially extending conduits which rotate about an axis and have inlets at their distal ends which traverse an inscribed circular path about the periphery of the tank's bottom. Collected solids are directed to the solids tank and a drag conveyor transporting solids product outside the skid. 37

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un barrage hydraulique, qui comprend un certain nombre de palettes de manutention placées côte à côte et inclinées du côté opposé à l'eau, où elles sont soutenues par des supports (2). Des membranes (3) sont placées sur les palettes et à une certaine distance en avant d'elles, sous l'eau. Les membranes peuvent être maintenues, au début, par des pierres, des sacs de sable, etc. Les supports sont triangulaires et faits de poutres en tôle en forme de U. Celui sur lequel reposent les palettes agit sur les branches voisines de deux palettes pour maintenir celles-ci ensemble. A l'arrière, le support est suffisamment long pour qu'on soit assuré qu'il ne peut pas être renversé par l'eau. Pour atteindre ce but et pour avoir une bonne assise au sol, on lui donne de préférence une inclinaison de 45 DEG , ce qui a pour effet l'application de forces importantes sur le sol, et cela donne une bonne assise sur celui-ci.

Abstract: An impact monitoring device is provided for mounting on a vehicle for monitoring any impacts the vehicle incurs. The device includes a main housing to be mounted below the vehicle's console. An impact sensing element is mounted on the vehicle remotely from the main housing and includes an accelerometer therein which produces an impact signal representing a magnitude of acceleration. The impact signal is received by a microprocessor mounted within the main housing. An operator interface is mounted on the vehicle's console remotely from the main housing.  The operator interface receives coded signals from the operator and transmits the coded signals to the microprocessor for programming and instructing the microprocessor on how to process the impact signals. If an impact signal is received by the microprocessor which exceeds a predetermined impact threshold, an alarm state is activated. The alarm state activates an audio alarm and disables the vehicle until a coded disarming signal is received by the operator interface.

Abstract: An annularly expanding and retracting gripping and releasing mechanism comprises an annular array of longitudinally fixed flexure elements and a corresponding number of longitudinally movable flexure elements. The arrangement is such that a longitudinally outward movement of the longitudinally movable flexure elements within the annular array of longitudinally fixed tubular flexure elements causes the fixed flexure elements to flex transversely outwardly and creates an annularly expanded condition defined by an annular series of transversely outwardly flexed fixed flexure elements interconnected at their flexure points by an annular series of arcuately outwardly flexed portions of the movable flexure elements. A manual movement in the opposite direction effects a longitudinally inward movement of the movable flexure elements to cause the expanded condition to progressively retract during which the outwardly flexed fixed flexure elements are progressively less flexed transversely outwardly and the arcuately flexed portions of the movable flexure elements have a progressively less arcuate extent.

Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a cluster node distress system and method that improves the reliability of a cluster. The cluster node distress system provides a cluster node distress signal when a node within the cluster is about to fail. This allows the cluster to better to determine whether a non-communicating node has failed or has merely been partitioned from the cluster. The preferred cluster node distress system is embedded deeply into the operating system and provides a pre-built node distress signal that can be quickly sent to other nodes within the cluster when an imminent failure of any node is detected, improving the probability that the node distress signal will get out before the node totally fails. When the node distress signal is effectively sent to other nodes within the cluster, the cluster can accurately determine which node has failed and has not just been partitioned from the cluster. This allows the cluster to respond correctly, i.e., by assigning other nodes primary and backup responsibility, with less manual intervention and troubleshooting needed by administrators.
