Patent EP-1038566-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WATANABE YOSHIMASA
IPC: B01D46/52
Filed: 2000-01-31
Abstract: A filter element roll (10) of a particulate filter
(1) consisting of a laminated body of filter units (13)
wound around a cylindrical core (9) is provided. Each
filter unit consists of a pair of filter media sheets (5)
made of nonwoven metal fabric and a corrugated metal
sheet (7) interposed between the pair of the filter media
sheets. The edges (51) of the filter media sheets on one
side of the filter unit are welded together so that an
exhaust gas passage (3) having a closed end on one side
of the filter unit is formed between the filter media
sheets. After welding the edges (51), a plurality of the
filter units (13) are placed one upon another to form a
laminated body of the filter units in such a manner that
the welded edges (51) of the filter units alternately
face in opposite directions. The filter element roll
(10) is formed by winding the laminated body of the
filter units around the core (9). Since the edges (51)
of the respective filter units can be welded before they
are laminated and wound into the roll, the welding work
of the edges of the filter units is greatly simplified.

IPC: H04B1/04
Filed: 2000-09-04
Abstract: A base station (312,314,316,612,614,616) in a soft handoff adjusts its
transmit power level by a first amount if the base station (312,314,316,612,614,616)
is participating in a soft handoff and by a second amount if the base station
(312,314,316,612,614,616) is not participating in the soft handoff, i.e. in simplex
mode. The first and second amounts are different. In one embodiment of the
invention, the adjustment is performed by using a down-step size that is larger in
magnitude than an up-step size when the base station (312,314,316,612,614,616)
is in soft handoff. The transmit power level is then adjusted by the smaller up and
larger down step sizes when the base station (312,314,316,612,614,616) receives
an indication to adjust the transmit power level. The step sizes used when the base
station (312,314,316,612,614,616) is in simplex mode is larger than the up-step
size and smaller than the down step size. The method of adjusting the base station transmit
power level by different amounts based on whether the base station (312,314,316,612,614,616)
participating in a soft handoff can be used with the method of
programming each base station (312,314,316,612,614,616) in a soft handoff with
a threshold power level to constrain the power transmitted by the base station
(312,314,316,612,614,616) on the forward link. When the threshold power level is a
minimum-threshold power level, each base station (312,314,316,612,614,616)
maintains its transmit power level at or above the minimum-threshold power level.
When the threshold power level is a maximum-threshold power level, each base
station (312,314,316,612,614,616) maintains its transmit power level at or below
the maximum-threshold power level. The threshold power level can be either an
adjustable or a fixed threshold power level.

calls directed to the subscriber's wireless telephone number while the battery is
depleted are redirected to a different telephone number. After replacing or recharging a
depleted battery pack, and repowering on the wireless telephone, call forwarding is
automatically deactivated such that the subscriber can, resume receiving calls at the

Abstract: A mobile communication base station determines the oncoming
direction of a radio wave with a simple arrangement and transmits a narrow
angle beam in this direction. Received signals from a pair of wide angle
beam antennae 21-1 and 21-2 having an equal configuration and a common
orientation and which are located close to each other are fed to a direction
finder receiver 22 and a communication receiver 15. By utilizing the fact
that the both received signals have a coincident amplitude, a phase difference
between the received signals is detected. The oncoming direction of the
received radio wave (or the direction of a mobile station) is determined on the
basis of the phase difference. A beam switcher 12 is controlled so as to
connect a transmitter 13 to a narrow angle beam antenna (one of 11-1 to 11-4)
which is directed in the oncoming direction thus determined.
