Title: Method and apparatus for controlling a sound function of a computer system
Inventor: YOON AN-SUNG
IPC: G06F11/30
Filed: 1999-02-26
Granted: 2000-11-11
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling a sound function of a computer system based on whether or not a headphone plug is inserted into a monitor is disclosed. A switching section receives a sound signal from a main body of the computer system and outputs the sound signal to a speaker or an inserted headphone plug based on whether or not the headphone plug is inserted by a user. A signal detecting section detects an insertion voltage signal for monitoring an insertion of the headphone plug from the switching section. A control section compares the insertion voltage signal from the signal detecting section with a predetermined reference voltage signal and controls a speaker installed in the main body according to the compared result. Accordingly, the user can enjoy sound such as a music regardless of the time.

Title: Methods and apparatus for inter-frequency handoff in a wireless communication system
Inventor: BERNSTEIN NEIL E
IPC: H04W36/14
Filed: 1999-03-20
Granted: 2001-05-01
Abstract: Inter-frequency handoffs in a CDMA or other wireless communication system are controlled using a noise-limited coverage trigger metric which is able to distinguish between same-frequency cell boundaries and other-frequency cell boundaries in the system. The trigger metric may be generated as a function of an average signal-to-noise measure for pilot signals received at a mobile station of the system and a linear sum of the signal-to-noise measures. The signal-to-noise measures may be generated in the mobile station and included in messages transmitted from the mobile station to one or more base stations of the system. The trigger metric is used to control a handoff from a current frequency to a new frequency in an ongoing call. The trigger metric may alternatively be based on a measure of mobile receive power alone. Other aspects of the invention reduce unnecessary searching for a new frequency and decrease the likelihood of ""ping-ponging"" from a current frequency to a new frequency by providing additional checks in the handoff process. For example, receive power and pilot signal-to-noise measures may be generated at a mobile station for both current and new frequencies. The mobile station then continues to operate at the current frequency as long as certain predetermined threshold conditions based on the measures are satisfied.

Title: Kink-resistant, high pressure hose construction having a composite, spiral wound innermost reinforcement layer
Inventor: KLEINERT HELMUT
IPC: F16L/
Filed: 1999-06-28
Granted: 2002-04-11
Abstract: A kink-resistant hose construction adapted for conveying fluids under high pressure which is flexible intermediate a central longitudinal axis to a minimum bend radius. The construction includes a thermoplastic core having an inner surface defining the inner diameter of the hose and an outer surface, and an innermost reinforcement layer is formed as a composite of at least one metallic wire element and at least one non-metallic fibre element. The metallic wire element is wound helically in one direction over the outer surface of the core a predetermined pitch angle measured relative to the longitudinal axis to define a series first turns. Each of these first tuns is spaced-apart from an adjacent first turn to define successive pairs of first turns each having an interstitial area therebetween. The fiber element, in turn, is wound helically over the outer surface of the core in the same direction and at the same pitch angle as the metallic wire element to define a series of second turns each disposed intermediate a corresponding one of the pairs of the first turns or the wire element. The fiber element substantially occupies the interstitial area between each of the pairs of the first turns of the wire element to thereby prevent the wall of the core from being extruded therebetween as the hose is flexed to its minimum bend radius.

Title: Method for storage of a channel for a consumer electronics appliance
Inventor: MABON JEAN-BERNARD
IPC: G10L15/00
Filed: 1999-09-03
Granted: 2002-12-21
Abstract: In consumer electronics appliances, for example in the case of a television set, it is known for there to be a key on the remote control which allows the user to switch over to the previously selected channel. However, a disadvantage of this conventional solution is that, once the user has jumped from one channel to the next, which is called zapping, the television recognizes only the last channel in the zapping sequence as the last channel in each case. The invention is based on the object of providing an improved method for storage of a channel. The method according to the invention for storage of a channel in a consumer electronics appliance which can be witched over between different channels is distinguished in that the reception duration of the current channel is determined, and in that, as soon as the reception duration exceeds a predetermined time interval ZE, the channel is stored as a channel of interest.
