Title: A method and apparatus for enhancing signalling reliability in a cellular mobile radio telephone system
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1991-08-15
Granted: 1993-07-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus for achieving reliable transmission of signalling messages in a cellular system in which the frequency plan, frequency/time slot allocation plan, code channel allocation plan, or dynamic/adaptive channel allocation rule of the system is violated by allowing adjacent base stations to reuse particular frequencies/time slots/channels for signalling a particular mobile station. In situations where signalling messages, such as handoff commands, which are communicated between a base station and a mobile station are not properly received by the mobile station, an alternate communications channel will be established to ensure the reception of these messages. The alternate channel is provided by repeating the message through a channel associated with a base station which has better radio characteristics. The channel selected for transmission of the message by the new base station will be on the same frequency/time slot/code as used by the established connection. <IMAGE>

Patent JP-2836621-B2 (JP)
IPC: G01C3/10
Filed: 1988-02-04
Granted: 1998-12-14
Abstract: The invention relates to process and apparatus for three-dimensional surveying by triangulation with a laser beam source. Pursuant to known practice, a laser beam scans a scene to be surveyed, by means of controlled rotary positioning of a mirror. The reflected beam is detected by a linear array of photosensitive receptors, enabling the location of the illuminated point to be determined by triangulation. Significant to the invention is the use of a secondary light source for precision measurement of the angular location of the scanning mirror, rather than relying upon controlled positioning of the mirror, which is much less accurate.

Patent JP-S632417-B2 (JP)
IPC: C07C41/44
Filed: 1982-03-11
Abstract: Described herein is a process for the conversion of hydroperoxides, present in alkyl-alkyl ethers to products including  alpha , beta -unsaturated aldehydes and for reducing such  alpha , beta -unsaturated aldehydes to alcohols prior to the use of the ether as a feedstock in a hydroformylation reaction to produce the corresponding ether aldehyde. The process involves contacting the ether with a metal hydride, either in aqueous solution and/or by means of an ion exchange resin. Such treatment decomposes the hydroperoxides and then reduces their  alpha , beta -unsaturated aldehyde decomposition products, thereby reducing the catalyst inhibition period present in the hydroformylation reaction which is observed when such  alpha , beta -unsaturated aldehyde impurities are present.

Granted: 1996-07-03
Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer probe (200) having a mechanically steerable acoustic element (230) includes a linear motor having a stationary magnet assembly (202) and a coil (206) bidirectionally linearly movable with respect to the magnet assembly. A mechanical arrangement formed of a pair of spaced apart, rotatably mounted pulleys (222, 224) and flexible belt (210) connecting the pulleys couples the coil and the ultrasonic transducer or acoustic element (230). The transducer element is mounted for rotation with at least one of the pulleys so that linear motion of the motor coil is converted to rotative motion of the transducer whereby the transducer and the ultrasonic beam (234) it emits is caused to sweep through a selected angular sector (10). A position sensor formed of a supplemental stationary magnetic material (216) and a position coil (220) mounted for movement with the motor coil is utilized for detecting the linear position of the coil and, correspondingly, the angular orientation or position of the transducer element. The pulley (250) carrying the transducer may have a non-circular periphery.
