Abstract: Edge-dam blocks (44) assembled with their upstream
faces in keyed mating interengagement with downstream faces
of adjacent blocks form an endless edge dam (32) revolvable in a
preselected path for defining a boundary of a moving-mold
casting region. The edge dam keeps molten metal in the
casting region. Upstream and downstream faces of adjacent
blocks have mutually complementary shapes for minimizing
intrusion of molten metal between abutting blocks. Keying
engagement between abutting blocks prevents relative
translational slippage of blocks toward or away from molten
metal. An abuttable face on each block has at least one
protrusion such as an integral elongated key (46) extending
perpendicularly to a casting belt associated with the
casting region, or the protrusion includes two round pins (61)
having projecting tapered ends (62). Another abuttable face has
a recess such as a keyway (48) for snugly receiving a key on an
adjacent block or has two tapered recesses (64) for snugly
receiving two tapered projections of an adjacent block.
External edges (53) and root fillets (59) of keys (46)(and shoulders (57) and
root fillets (54) of keyways (48)) are radiused with radii in a range
between about 1.2 and about 3 millimeters. Blocks' lower
surfaces are shown having slots (43) for receiving a tension
member (42). A key's lower end may be undercut (47) near the slot
for relieving stress concentration. A pair of parallel
undercut fillets are shown extending along opposite sides
of a key. They have a radius in a range from about 3 to
about 5 millimeters.

IPC: H04Q11/04

Abstract: An ATM cell constructor (100) of an ATM transmitter
assembles a stream of frames of constant bit-rate traffic received on a
listen TDM bus (102) into cell payloads using ATM adaptation layer
1 (AAL1). Once every eight cells, the AAL1 structured data transfer (SDT)
cell constructor layer (112) introduces a one-octet SDT offset pointer
into the payload. This pointer designates traffic-block (TDM frame)
boundaries. The payload with an attached ATM header forms an ATM
cell, and the constructor transmits a stream of the ATM cells to an ATM
cell deconstructor of an ATM receiver. The deconstructor
disassembles the payloads of the received ATM cells and transmits the
stream of frames of constant bit-rate traffic on a talk TDM bus (102). In
response to each received SDT offset pointer, the deconstructor's time
slot interchanger resets to the start of frame-processing,
thereby aligning frames formed by the TSI with the received frames. The
deconstructor detects occurrence of TDM frames on the talk
TDM bus and synchronizes (aligns) transmission of the frames formed by
the TSI with the TDM frames on the talk TDM bus. The listen and talk
TDM buses are thereby synchronized with each other.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for improving thermal efficiency
and field reliability of a linear power amplifier of a communication system. In an
illustrative embodiment, the communication system operates in a half-duplex mode and
a transistor control terminal (e.g., gate) of the amplifier is biased at a first bias voltage
during transmit intervals of the half-duplex mode. The control terminal is biased at a
second bias voltage different from the first bias voltage during receive intervals. The
second bias voltage is sufficient to reduce idle currents in the amplifier during the
receive intervals, thereby improving thermal efficiency of the amplifier. Also disclosed
is a base station (10) including a base station controller (16), a variable bias control
circuit (14) and a linear power amplifier (12). The variable bias control circuit operates
under the control of the base station controller to supply a variable bias voltage to the
amplifier. Thermal efficiency of the amplifier is improved by reducing idle currents via
appropriate bias voltage control during a weak signal transmitting mode and/or during
receive intervals of a half-duplex operating mode.

Abstract: A novel multiple channel architecture (265) is designed to allow targeted advertising directed to television terminals (220) connected to an operations center (202) or a cable headend (208). Program channels carry television programs. The invention uses upstream data reception hardware (262, 275, 297), databases (301) and processing hardware (285, 293) and software to accomplish these functions. During commercial breaks in the television programs, advertisements, which are also broadcast on the program channel, are displayed. However, additional feeder channels carry alternate advertising that may be better suited for certain viewing audiences. The operations center (202) or the cable headend (208) generate a group assignment plan (293, 299) that assigns the television terminals (220) to groups, based on factors such as area of dominant influence and household income. A switching plan (291) is then generated that instructs the television terminals (220) to remain with the program channel or to switch to one of the altemate feeder channels during the program breaks. The television terminals (220) record which channels were viewed during the program breaks, and report this information to the cable headend (208) and the operations center (202). The reported information is used to generate billing for commercial advertisers, and to analyze viewer watching habits.
