Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to an assisted braking belay system with a housing, a camming mechanism, and a lever mechanism with a lever disengagement mechanism. The housing may include a substantially enclosed rope channel through which a rope may extend to the climber. The camming mechanism is moveably coupled to the housing and configured to automatically engage a camming surface upon the rope across the rope channel if the rope translates through the channel at a particular speed. The lever mechanism enables a belayer to selectively disengage the camming mechanism and release the camming surface from the rope thereby allowing the rope to translate through the rope channel. The lever disengagement mechanism is configured to automatically disengage the lever mechanism from the camming mechanism thereby enabling the camming mechanism to automatically reengage the camming surface upon the rope across the channel.

Abstract: An apparatus (102) has a first communication module (104) compatible with a first wireless communication technology, and a second communication module (124) compatible with a second, different, wireless communication technology. Transmissions by each communication module may contribute to interference at the other communication module. In one example, a Block Acknowledgement Request (904) is transmitted by the apparatus during a downlink period of the second communication module so the Block Acknowledgement (906) transmitted in response is received during the downlink period. In another example, the apparatus calculates (1102) a maximum size of an aggregated medium access control protocol data unit to receive, and notifies (1104) an access point (138) of that maximum size. In a further example, the apparatus, having notified an access point of operation in a power save mode, polls (1302) the access point for buffered frames at the start of a downlink period of the second communication module.
