Title: Communication system
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2003-05-03
Abstract: In a communication system subject to variations in channel quality, transmit power control is used to reduce the variations in received signal quality. If the channel quality degrades to such an extent that a high transmit power would be required to ensure good received signal quality, the transmit power is decreased and is not increased until the channel quality recovers sufficiently to enable an acceptable transmit power level to be used. While the power is at the decreased level, transmission of a data block may continue, or may be suspended, with the data block being truncated if the whole block has not been transmitted by the end of the time period available for transmission of the data block.

Title: Detecting faults on a printed circuit board
IPC: G01R31/3183
Filed: 1994-08-31
Abstract: An automatic circuit board tester for testing for shorts, opens, and interconnected pins or nodes on a circuit board. The tester first classifies the nodes as being in one of three categories based upon the design of the board and the intended interconnection of the nodes. The categories of nodes are: (1) connected to ground; (2) interconnected to all other nodes in the test group; or (3) isolated from all other nodes. The circuit board tester has a testhead containing a plurality of test channels, each configured to be coupled to a node on the circuit board. The testhead utilizes a digital signal from a digital driver to drive the node at a predetermined voltage and a digital receiver to read the node voltage to determine if it is coupled to ground. Each test channel also includes a switch to connect the digital driver and receiver to the test node as well as a ground switch to selectively couple the node to ground. Various combinations of switch positions and testing sequences enables the circuit board tester to test all node connections and to ensure that the physical embodiment of the circuit board accurately reflects the circuit board design.

Title: Annular metal casting unit
IPC: B22D11/00
Filed: 1993-10-29
Abstract: As a reversal of previous practice, the annular body of the mold in the unit has an annular case at the bottom thereof, rather than at the top thereof. The case is relatively thick axially of the mold, so as to form the greater portion of the axial length of the mold body at the outer periphery thereof; and at the top thereof, the case has an annular plate thereon, which forms a pair of flanges that overhang the case and enable the metal casting unit to be lowered into an aperture of a casting table from above, and supported on top of the table at the flanges. Meanwhile, the case defines the lower end opening of the mold cavity, and the outlet for liquid coolant that is discharged onto the molten metal body as it emerges from the unit. Commonly, the case is monolithic, and also has an annular sump at the top thereof which is covered by the plate to form a chamber for the coolant in the sump. A graphite casting ring may be circumposed about the inner periphery of the case, to form a liner for the upper end portion of the cavity; and a refractory top ring may be circumposed about the upper end opening of the cavity, to form a hot top for the ring.

Title: Testing storage tanks
IPC: G01M3/32
Filed: 1997-03-20
Abstract: A testing procedure is disclosed for testing a road tanker, and other transportable storage tanks, for fluid-tightness. A positive test pressure is first applied to one storage compartment of the road tanker, and simultaneously a negative pressure is applied to the outlet pipe of the storage compartment, and a different negative pressure is applied to the vapour recovery manifold. The subsequent pressure variations within the storage compartment, the outlet pipe, the vapour recovery manifold and the adjacent storage compartments are then monitored in order to determine whether the interconnecting valves are leaking, and whether the various compartments under test are fluid-tight. In a second stage of the testing procedure, the pressure within the storage compartment is raised in order to test the pressure release level of a pressure release valve in the storage compartment, and the pressure within the storage compartment is then reduced in order to test the vacuum pressure release level of the pressure release valve. Similar testing procedures are applied to each of the storage compartments in turn. <IMAGE>
