Abstract: A fluid driven drilling motor and system includes a flex shaft between the rotor and a cylindrical flow collar. The end of the flow collar opposite from the flex shaft has a bore in fluid communication with a drill bit. Ramped apertures are formed in the side wall of the flow collar. The ramped apertures are in fluid communication with the bore.  Drilling fluid flowing under pressure down past the flex shaft is directed and drawn into the ramped apertures along a fluid flow path which spirals downwardly and radially inwardly of the flow collar so as to then flow into the bore. The pressure loss associated. with drawing the drilling fluid down to the drill bit is thereby minimized.

Title: Method for protecting a character entered at a graphical interface
Inventor: LIM YUEN CHEN
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2005-02-11
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for protecting a character entered at a graphical interface. The method comprises the steps of: generating a set of images that form a complete image of a keypad having a button-to-character assignment; displaying the graphical keypad using said image set; and, obtaining the character of a selected button using the button-to-character assignment. The inventive method can be repeated with a different button-to-character assignment in each repetition to obtain a sequence of characters. In consequence of the inventive method, the entered character is protected as monitoring software can capture merely unreadable portions of the complete keypad image. In furtherance of this purpose, the present invention also provides a method for generating a set of images from a complete image of a character belonging to a character set.

IPC: H04W28/06
Filed: 2005-07-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes, un appareil et des procédés d'attribution dynamique de ressources, destinés à l'amélioration sélective de la capacité d'un récepteur de déterminer une estimation de canal dans un système d'accès multiple par division de fréquence orthogonale (OFDMA). Un système de communication sans fil peut utiliser une configuration de canaux pilotes communs pour aider l'estimation de canaux dans un ou plusieurs récepteurs en communication avec le système. Un récepteur en communication avec le système peut ne pas avoir la capacité de démoduler les données reçues en raison d'une estimation de canaux pas suffisamment précise. Le récepteur peut communiquer à un émetteur dans le système une demande de ressources d'estimation de canaux supplémentaires. Le système de communication sans fil peut fournir des ressources supplémentaires d'estimation de canaux par l'insertion de canaux pilotes dédiés à une ou plusieurs fréquences attribuées aux symboles pour le récepteur. Si le récepteur n'est toujours pas en mesure de démoduler les données reçues, le système de communication sans fil peut insérer par incréments des canaux pilotes supplémentaires dans le symbole associé au récepteur.

Title: Mitigating intermodulation interference using channel power estimation and attenuation in a two-way radio communications system
Inventor: CHAUDHRI APOORV
IPC: H04B15/00
Filed: 2005-09-14
Abstract: A method for maximizing intermodulation interference protection during a handoff between radio cell sites (300) includes scanning a plurality of radio channels (302) and measuring the signal power (307, 315) for at least one of the radio channels. One or more receiver attenuators (313) are then set based on the detection of intermodulation (IM) interference of the measured channel.  The attenuators are then scaled (311) based on the degree of IM interference.  If the attenuators cannot mitigate this interference below some predetermined level, the radio channel is changed (321) and the process begins again to ensure a high quality of communication with a cell site.

Inventor: CORMANY DAVID
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2007-07-27
Abstract: A strain relief boot for a connectorized cable. The boot has a staged bending characteristic in that there are discrete first and second zones that have different bending and minimum bend radius characteristics. The boot is of a segmented design including multiple links separated from one another by open gaps that are spaced from one another in a longitudinal direction. Gaps are positioned along a periphery of the boot for each axial location. Ribs extend longitudinally to connect axially adjacent links, and to separate peripherally spaced gaps. The different characteristics relate to differences in the gap, link and rib structures, which have dimensions varying along the boot's length. Preferably, link and rib dimensions are relatively smaller toward a proximal end of the boot, and gap dimensions are relatively larger toward the proximal end of the boot. This provides greater flexibility and smaller minimum bend radii toward the boot's proximal end.
