Inventor: JARETT KEITH
IPC: H04W84/10
Filed: 1996-08-30
Granted: 2005-02-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to a base station having a receiver and transmitter for communicating with at least one mobile station having a receiver and transmitter. The mobile station transmits a mobile station identification number which is received by the base station when the mobile station comes into proximity with base station. The base station is comprised of a list of mobile station identification numbers stored in the base station corresponding to mobile stations which are currently granted registration privileges. A comparator is provided which is adapted to compare the mobile station identification number received from the mobile station with each of the mobile station identification numbers on the list of mobile station identification numbers and to output a signal indicating whether a match occurred. A transceiver is in communication with the comparator. The transceiver is adapted to process the communication from the mobile station to the base station when the comparator indicates that a match has occurred.

Abstract: A lading tie anchor system for railway box cars which uses lading ties comprising straps of woven webbing with a hook on one end in place of lading ties in the form of one-time useable steel strapping. The new system makes use of the lading tie anchors already installed in many box cars as well as those installed in newly built box cars. In addition to the novel lading ties a slack take-up and tension buckle is used to join the otherwise free or unanchored ends of each pair of lading ties. Preferably the buckles have a handle-crankable ratchet on one end to which the unanchored end of one of the installed ties is adjustably attached while the unanchored end of the other lading tie is threaded over a pair of take-up rollers mounted on the opposite end of the buckle in such a way that this second lading tie can be manually drawn taut.      Thereafter the ratchet is operated to remove any remaining slack in the lading ties and then apply the desired tension thereon. If the pairs of the lading ties are to be re-used in the same box car, web support clips may be inserted in the lading tie anchors located in the doorway posts and used to neatly support the free ends of the lading ties off the car floor and ready for re-use.

Abstract: A part sorting and aligning apparatus for picks parts out of a hopper, aligns the parts and conveys them to another location. The apparatus includes a tilted rotary wheel next to the hopper. Multiple arrays of hooks or pickup members are mounted for rotation on the wheel. The bottom of the hopper has a sliding plate which has slots through which the hooks travel as the hooks move upwardly into and through the hopper. Each pickup member has a weight bar which hangs from the pickup member. As the wheel rotates, the hooks engage and pick up parts as the hooks move upwardly through the hopper.  The weight bar maintains a desired orientation of the hooks and the parts as the wheel rotates. Pair of rails pick the parts off of the hooks, so that the parts can be transferred to another location.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'évaluation d'une caractéristique d'un signal tel qu'un temps d'arrivée ou une identité d'émetteur notamment dans un système de communication cellulaire. La majorité des techniques connues ont une performance réduite, du fait qu'elles reposent sur des quantités limitées de données connues.

Dans la seconde étape (203), ladite unité reçoit des données d'assistance du réseau fixe et dans une troisième étape (205) un signal attendu est dérivé en réponse à ces données. Pour le GSM, les données d'assistance peuvent être un numéro de trame et un code d'identité de station de base (BSIC) permettant à une salve de synchronisation entière attendue d'être dérivée. Dans la quatrième étape (207), le signal caractéristique est déterminé par corrélation du signal reçu et du signal attendu.

Title: Multi-variable control loop assessment
Inventor: FU YE
IPC: G05B23/00
Filed: 2002-03-18
Granted: 2010-06-29
Abstract: A multivariable analysis tool is provided wherein an orthogonal decomposition method such as a Partial Least Squares algorithm is applied to a disturbance model, which relates the known loop disturbances to the loop model residue. The tool according to the invention first extracts the most dominant correlation to the loop model residue and then uses the residue to search for secondary dominant correlation in an orthogonal space, and repeats this process until no further output variation can be significantly attributed by the next dominant correlation. In this way, the analysis tool of the present invention is able to estimate the performance potential of each control loop under different disturbance conditions and provide a control performance index by comparing the achieved performance to the performance potential in a multi-variable environment. This index indicates whether or not a given loop is under optimal operation and shows variance of the loop from the best achievable loop performance.
