Abstract: A method and circuit for adaptively determining a pilot signal reacquisition time. A searcher subsystem (55) measures a phase of the pilot signal. A control processor (62) measures a magnitude of a shift in the pilot signal phase, compares the measured magnitude to a shift threshold, and decreases the reacquisition time if the measured magnitude is not greater than the shift threshold. The control processor (62) also may compare the reacquisition time to a minimum reacquisition time, and decrease the reacquisition time only if the reacquisition time is greater than the minimum reacquisition time. Additionally, the control processor (62) may increase the reacquisition time to a maximum reacquisition time if the measured magnitude is greater than said shift threshold.

Title: Marine cylinder oils containing high viscosity detergents
Inventor: MUIR RONALD J
IPC: C10M101/02
Filed: 1999-02-25
Granted: 2009-06-16
Abstract: Marine cylinder oils require a relatively high viscosity, and therefore generally include substantial amounts of an albeit costly high viscosity lubricating oil of at least about 2000 to 4000 SUS at 100 .degree. F. The use of overbased detergents with viscosities of at least about 180 cST at 100 .degree.C, such as high viscosity overbased calcium sulfonates an d phenates, was found to reduce the need for substantial amounts of the high viscosity lubricating oil and still achieve the desired finished marine cylinder oil viscosity. The weight percent of the high viscosity oil in the marine cylinder oil is inversely commensurately proportional to the viscosities of the detergent and lubricating oil for a predetermined marine cylinder oil viscosity. The present invention provides a marine cylinder oil with a viscosity of at least about 15 to 25 cST at 100 .degree.C, with reductions of more than about 12 % to 16 % or more by weight of the costly high viscosity or bright stock oil by the use of high viscosity detergents.

Inventor: SCHWARTZ HERBERT E
IPC: A61K47/10
Filed: 2000-03-23
Granted: 2013-02-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to improved methods for making and using bioadhesive, bioresorbable, anti-adhesion compositions made of intermacromolecular complexes of carboxyl-containing polysaccharides, polyethers, polyacids, polyalkylene oxides, multivalent cations and/or polycations. The polymers are associated with each other, and are then either dried into membranes or sponges, or are used as fluids or microspheres. Bioresorbable, bioadhesive, anti-adhesion compositions are useful in surgery to prevent the formation and reformation of post-surgical adhesions. The compositions are designed to breakdown in-vivo, and thus be removed from the body. Membranes are inserted during surgery either dry or optionally after conditioning in aqueous solutions. The anti-adhesion, bioadhesive, bioresorptive, antithrombogenic and physical properties of such membranes and gels can be varied as needed by carefully adjusting the pH and/or cation content of the polymer casting solutions, polyacid composition, the polyalkylene oxide composition, or by conditioning the membranes prior to surgical use. Multi-layered membranes can be made and used to provide further control over the physical and biological properties of antiadhesion membranes. Membranes and gels can be used concurrently. Antiadhesion compositions may also be used to lubricate tissues and/or medical instruments, and/or deliver drugs to the surgical site and release them locally.

Title: Method and apparatus for communicating between a client device and a linear broadband network
Inventor: BISHOP DONALD M
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-02-29
Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: A method of upstream communication over a linear broadband network includes the steps of generating an upstream baseband signal and modulating it onto an upstream wireless radio frequency carrier to produce a first upstream modulated carrier signal. The modulated carrier signal is transmitted wirelessly, received, an d demodulated to reproduce the information integrity of the upstream baseband signal. The signal is then modulated onto an upstream line ar broadband radio frequency carrier for transmission on the linear broadband network. Advantageously, noise that accumulates at t he subscriber premises is removed from the upstream signal prior to presentation of the signal to the upstream path of the linea r broadband network. A system for communicating over a linear broadband network includes network access interface devices coupled t o the linear broadband network. A subscriber access interface device accepts upstream communication signals and modulates and transmits the signal to the network access interface device. The network access interface device (6) receives and demodulates the signal and then modulates it for transmission on the linear broadband network.

Abstract: A garment hanger is provided and includes an elongated body, an integrally formed, centrally located hook member, and clip assemblies located at each opposing end of the body. Each clip assembly includes a horizontal lower clip, a horizontal upper clip and a vertical end clip. Each vertical clip includes a downwardly directed anchor arm which is spaced a predetermined distance from an inner surface of the end of the hanger and defines a receiving slot therebetween, into which clothing may be selectively inserted. The inner surface of the receiving slot includes an integrally formed upwardly and outwardly directly spring arm which is spring biased against an inside contact surface of the rigid anchor arm. It is the resiliency of this spring arm that creates a clamping action within the receiving slot which is used to force any inserted clothing snugly against the anchor arm, thereby holding the clothing in place within the receiving slot. The resiliency also permits the spring arm to flex inwardly toward the hanger body during garment insertion.

Title: Methods and apparatus for increased magnetic coding density by precise placement of magnetic transitions
Inventor: BORMEY CARLOS D
IPC: G06K1/00
Filed: 2001-04-26
Granted: 2009-03-24
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for increasing the density of data storage on a magnetic medium by using variations in positioning of magnetic transitions to encode bits. Conventionally encoded bits are written to the medium as sequences of magnetic transitions according to an encoding standard. Additional bits are encoded on the medium as deviations from a nominal position of magnetic transitions separating conventionally encoded bits. The deviation from the nominal position is within an allowable range of tolerance for the standard followed in encoding the conventionally encoded bits. In order to prevent accumulation of error, additional bits are only encoded in transitions separating a pair of conventionally encoded bits. The first and last transitions of the pair do not have additional bits encoded as deviations of transition locations. This technique allows the encoding of one additional bit for every two conventionally encoded bits.
