Title: Cell load sharing in a mobile-controlled cell selection environment
Inventor: WESTERBERG LARS ERIK
IPC: H04W16/06
Filed: 1999-09-14
Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for implementing cell load sharing in a mobile-controlled cell selection environment, such as, for example, in a radio packet data system (100), wherein dynamic system information (e.g., SI  messages) is used to enable a mobile station to "perceive" cell borders (108) that depend on the system load. Essentially, cell selection parameters in the system information messages are associated with the distribution of the load invarious cells (BTSA, BTSB). In this way, the mobile stations (116, 118) (which are responsible for their own cell selection) in overloaded cells (BTSB) can be prompted to select alternative, less loaded cells (BTSA).

Abstract: An elongated fibrous insulation blanket is pre-cut for custom fitting the insulation blanket into wall, floor, ceiling and roof cavities of different widths formed by the framework of a building. The blanket has at least one, preferably two or three, series of cuts extending between major surfaces of the blanket with successive cuts of each series of cuts being separated by a series of separable connectors located intermediate the major surfaces of the blanket. Each series of separable connectors hold together adjacent sections of the blanket for handling, but are separable by hand so that the blanket can be handled as a unit for insulating a cavity having a predetermined width or easily separated by hand into two or more sections at one or more of the series of separable connectors for insulating a cavity having a lesser width. Either major surface of the blanket may have a facing bonded thereto with one or more perforated lines or overlapping tabs in the facing permitting the facing to be separated by hand at each series of cuts and separable connectors. Preferably, the perforations of any perforated line(s) in the facing are closed by the bonding agent bonding the facing to the blanket so that the facing functions as a vapor barrier in spite of the perforations.

IPC: G01B11/25
Filed: 1995-11-28
Abstract: A system for determining the shape and dimensions of a surface of an object includes a projector for projecting onto the object a spatially coded pattern of radiation, e.g., light. The system also includes a receiving device capable of imaging the reflected pattern, and a discriminator for determining which portion of the reflected pattern corresponds to which portion of the projected pattern. By this means, a received signal representing less than the complete reflection from the projected pattern can be correlated with a discrete portion of the scanned object. The procedure is repeated to obtain enough reliable data to generate a reasonably reliable surface profile. The resulting set of received signals and correlations are used to calculate the shape and dimensions of the object.

IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 2002-03-18
Abstract: Z                    In a planar waveguide optical circuit 1, a inclined groove 3 is formed at an inclination angle 6 with respect to the vertical axis so as to cross optical waveguides 2 n. A reflection filter 4 structured such that the difference in reflectivity between orthogonal polarization is compensated for with respect to signal light is installed inside the groove 3, the reflected light from the reflection filter 4 is detected by the photodetectors 6n, and the optical intensity of the signal light is monitored. This makes it possible to accurately monitor the optical intensity regardless of the polarization state of the signal light. Also, since the inside of the groove 3 including the reflection filter 4 is sealed with a filler resin 5, any deterioration in long-term stability that would otherwise be caused by contamination of these components is prevented. Thus, the optical waveguide module with which the structure of the optical circuit is simpler, and the optical intensity can be correctly monitored regardless of the state of polarization of the signal light is realized.
