Inventor: FLANAGAN AIDEN
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2003-01-21
Abstract: A method for forming a fusion bond between polymeric materials. Preferably, a detector detects thermal radiation being emitted from a fusion bond site while a laser beam impinges on and heats at least a portion of the bond site. In an aspect of the present invention the detector can provide an electrical signal to a signal processor for controllably adjusting the laser beam power. In another aspect of the present invention, the electrical signal may be substantially correlated to the temperature of at least a region of the bond site. The present invention is also directed to an apparatus for forming a fusion bond between polymeric materials. The apparatus includes a workpiece support, a laser, a detector, and a signal processor. The workpiece support preferably positions a first and second polymeric body so that a fusion bond site is formed. The laser impinges on at least a portion of the fusion bond site such that it emits thermal radiation. The detector senses the thermal radiation and preferably provides a signal to the signal processor. In an aspect of the present invention, the signal processor controllably adjusts the power of the laser beam based on the signal provide by the detector.

Abstract: Techniques for limiting cell reselection in response to a variable channel are disclosed. In one aspect, a measurement of received pilot power from a base station is used as an indication of channel quality. In another aspect, hysteresis is applied to limit cell reselection, wherein the hysteresis is greater in relatively higher quality channel environments and lower in relatively lower channel quality environments. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of reducing cell reselection, thus increasing time spent in low-power mode, thereby reducing power consumption and increasing standby time.

OFF, the current flowing from battery 12 to remaining capacity indicating circuit 14 is
turned OFF. The first switch SW1 may be coupled to first voltage detecting circuit
(R2, R3) for detecting the voltage of battery 12. When the voltage that is being
detected of battery 12 falls below a first predetermined value, first switch SW1 is
turned off. Battery pack 10 may further include cut-off circuit (SW2, R4, R5) that
cuts off the flow of current from battery 12 to first voltage detecting circuit (R2, R3)

Abstract: Merchant-media information is communicated to a selected user in response to a user identification (ID) being presented at a media location. According to one example embodiment, a user presents an ID tag to an ID tag reader at a merchant-media arrangement ( e.g. , a billboard, display screen, audio speaker or advertisement) having a media content ID. The ID tag communicates a user ID to the ID tag reader, and an information request signal including data representing the user ID and the media content ID is sent to a remote server. The remote server uses the user ID and the media content ID to send media content information ( e . g ., product data, a discount voucher,  etc. ) to a user address. With this approach, users can request and/or receive information at a point-of-use media display.
