Title: Method and means for testing the strength of vertically anchored masts
Inventor: ROCH OLIVER
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2001-06-29
Abstract: With a method for testing the strength of a vertically and stationarily anchored mast the mast is mechanically loaded with bending. The behaviour of the mast occuring with this is evaluated for determining its standing and bending strength. In the temporal context, with the testing procedure the mast location is determined by way of a satellite navigation system.      For this purpose the testing means are equipped with a GPS reciever for receiving GPS signals and a VHF receiver for recieving correction data. With this the GPS reciever and the UKW receiver form a DGPS reciever whose signals representing the location may be transferred onto a digital data memory.

Title: Quick-install assembly for a single control faucet
Inventor: ROMERO OSCAR
IPC: E03C1/04
Filed: 2001-07-24
Abstract: A quick-install assembly for a single control faucet connected to water supply lines that extend through an opening in a deck to which the faucet is mounted, which assembly has a collar of larger diameter than the diameter of the opening of the deck and positioned from above the deck to be disposed at the opening of the deck. The collar has a pair of ears formed thereon that extend over the opening in the deck. A pair of fasteners are operatively engaged from above the deck to be threadedly connected to the ears to be disposed from above through the opening of the deck. A retainer is threadedly connected to the fasteners and includes a pair of swing flaps thereon adapted to be axially shifted toward and away from the collar responsive to the direction of rotation of the fasteners. The pair of swing flaps rotate on the fasteners between a closed position that provides a small dimension that passes through the opening of the deck and an open position that provides a long dimension with each swing flap pivoted outwardly so that when the retainer is disposed below the deck and the retainer is shifted upwardly each of the swing flaps will clamp against the underside of the deck to clamp the quick-install assembly thereto. Lastly, connecting means are operable from above the deck to connect the faucet to the collar whereby the faucet will be mounted upon the deck.

Title: A method of and apparatus for estimating a characteristic of a signal
Inventor: LUDDEN BRENDON
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: This invention relates to a method of estimating a characteristic of a signal such as a time of arrival or a transmitter identity in particular in a cellular communication system. Most known techniques have limited performance as they rely on limited amounts of known data. The method of the invention comprises a first step (201) of receiving the signal at a subscriber unit. In a second step (203) the subscriber unit receives assistance data from the fixed network and in a third step (205) an expected signal is derived in response to this assistance data. For GSM  the assistance data can be a frame number and a BSIC permitting an entire expected SCH burst to be derived. In a fourth (207) step the signal characteristic is determined by correlation of the received signal and the expected signal. The invention is particularly applicable to location determination in a GSM communication system.
