Title: Method to reduce the power consumption of a radio receiver
Inventor: WONG DANNY
IPC: H04H20/93
Filed: 2000-07-21
Granted: 2006-10-03
Abstract: A method for reducing the power consumption of a radio receiver, and in particular a digital audio broadcast receiver, is described, in which the RF tuner of the receiver is powered up during portions of the received signal which contain information relating to the location of data within the signal. The tuner is then also powered up at various other times in response to this information, in order to allow the reception and demodulation only of selected data. In this way, it is possible to power down the tuner during some portions of the signal, thereby reducing power consumption.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing flexible belts from fibers. Fibers that form the flexible belt are soaked with a liquid elastomer. The liquid elastomer soaked fibers are formed into the shape of a belt, beneficially by wrapping the fibers around a mandrel. The belt-shaped and soaked fibers are then cured. Multiple layer flexible belts can be formed by soaking fibers with a first liquid elastomer, wrapping those fibers around a mandrel, and then curing the mandrel to form a belt layer. Then, fibers are soaked with a second liquid elastomers. Those soaked fibers are then wrapped around the mandrel/belt layer. The fibers soaked with the second elastomer are then cured, forming a belt having two layers. The formed belt is then removed from the mandrel. The fibers and liquid elastomer(s) are beneficially chosen to introduce desirable belt properties.

Abstract: A non-circular endodontic instrument (110) is provided for reduced stress to the tooth, and to the cutting instrument during the removal of dentin from a root canal. The non-circular endodontic instrument (110) includes at least one area of non-contact (140), i.e., one portion of the instrument does not contact and does not cut the dentin material. The non-contact area (140) extends the length of the endodontic instrument (110), about a portion of the circumference of the instrument, and interrupts a generally circular cutting face (120) of the instrument. This non-contact area (140) reduces stress provides a place for debris to gather during cutting so as to not interfere with the cutting face (120), and serves to direct the debris out of the root canal. The endodontic instrument (110) can be D-shaped in cross-section. It could have circumferential opposing non-contact, areas and/or can be elliptical in cross-sectional shape.

Abstract: An improved packaging material may include a substrate which is normally susceptible to permeation by substances such as oil or grease. A colorant layer may be applied to the outer surface of the substrate. The colorant layer may be of a color chosen to closely resemble or to overpower the appearance of a stain on the substrate which would otherwise be caused by the substances. In this manner, the colorant layer serves to mask the stain which would otherwise be caused by substances permeating through the substrate. A second colorant layer may optionally be provided over the first colorant layer to provide a uniform background of a desired color. Graphics, e.g, text and/or images, may then be applied to the first or second colorant layer in a conventional manner.

Granted: 2005-07-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne un transducteur utilisable dans un compteur d'écoulement des gaz à ultrasons comprenant un boîtier équipé d'une extrémité ouverte et d'une extrémité fermée et d'une paroi latérale placée entre les deux. L'extrémité fermée du boîtier est conçue pour recevoir et transmettre des ondes acoustiques lorsque le transducteur est en marche. Un résonateur équipé d'une extrémité émission/réception est placé dans le boîtier face à l'extrémité fermée de celui-ci. La paroi latérale du boîtier est plus fine au niveau de l'extrémité fermée de celui-ci qu'à l'extrémité ouverte, de façon à détourner et à diffuser d'éventuelles vibrations parasites près de la fréquence de résonance du transducteur. En général, il est plus facile de détourner et de diffuser ces vibrations lorsque l'épaisseur de la paroi latérale va en s'affinant vers l'extrémité fermée du boîtier. De plus, le diamètre extérieur de la paroi latérale du boîtier peut se rétrécir vers l'extrémité fermée du boîtier de manière à améliorer les propriétés de sonnerie et de largeur de bande de fréquences. L'invention porte également sur un procédé de fabrication d'un transducteur utilisable sur une gamme de fréquences prédéterminée.

Abstract: A soft handoff operation is provided for a first signal transmitted according to a first communication standard (IS-95B) and a second signal transmitted according to a second communication standard (IS-95C). A mobile station (MS) (204) receives the first signal, detects a pilot signal, measures pilot signal strength, and transmits a pilot strength measurement message.      When the MS fails to receive a handoff direction message after transmitting the pilot strength message, the MS searches for a detecting presence of a broadcast control channel (BCCH) associated with a type IS-95C cell site (202) and measures a carrier-to-interference ratio of the BCCH. The MS compares the carrier-to-interference ratio to a threshold, and when the ratio is above the threshold, initiates a second communication according to the IS-95C standard, thus initiating a soft handoff operation and allowing cell sites (202, 203) to transmit information according to the IS-95C and IS-95B standards, respectively.
