Granted: 2004-03-16
Abstract: A Land Grid Array (LGA) clamp mechanism is presented. The mechanism includes a spring having a number of beams that mate with cooperating posts from a backing plate. The backing plate fits on the bottom side of a printed circuit board, opposite the area where a device is installed with the posts extending from the backing plate and through the printed circuit board. The LGA device is either inserted into a socket on the top side of the printed circuit board or mounted directly to the top side of the printed circuit board. A heat sink is placed directly on top of the LGA device. The posts from the backing plate extend through the circuit board and through the heatsink. A spring assembly is positioned along a top surface of the heatsink and is secured to the posts. The spring assembly includes a spring and a bias adjustment screw that is adjusted to provide a desired uniform amount of pressure to the heatsink, device and socket. Such a mechanism not only provides a uniform amount of pressure but also is additionally simple to install and adjust.

Title: Receiver with sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter
Inventor: YOUNIS SAED G
IPC: H03M3/02
Filed: 1998-12-08
Granted: 2009-12-15
Abstract: A receiver comprising a sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (.SIGMA..DELTA. ADC) can be utilized in one of four configurations, as a subsampling bandpass receiver, a subsampling baseband receiver, a Nyquist sampling bandpass receiver, or a Nyquist sampling baseband receiver. For subsampling .SIGMA..DELTA. receivers, the sampling frequency i s less than twice the center frequency of the input signal into the .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC. For Nyquist sampling .SIGMA..DELTA. receivers, the sampling frequency i s at least twice the highest frequency of the input signal into the .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC. For baseband .SIGMA..DELTA. receivers, the center frequency of the outp ut signal from the .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC is approximately zero or DC. For bandpass .SIGMA..DELTA. receivers, the center frequency of the output signal from the .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC is greater than zero. The sampling frequency can be selected based on the bandwidth of the input signal to simplify the design of the digital circuits used to process the output samples from the .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC. Furthermore, the center frequency of the input signal can be selected based on the sampling frequency and the bandwidth of the input signal. The .SIGMA..DELTA. ADC within the receiver provides many benefits.

Abstract: A screw drive mechanism connectable to at least one of a first machine portion and a second machine portion for moving the second machine portion relative to the first machine portion from a first position to a second position. The mechanism has a base for attachment to one of the first and the second machine portions and a motor attached to the base. It includes a drive screw having a rotary motion connection to the motor to be rotated thereby and a drive nut having an internally threaded bore engaged with the drive screw to receive a drive force from the drive screw. A drive nut connection is engaged with the drive nut for conveying the drive force to one of the first and the second machine portions. An anti-rotation member is attached to the drive nut connection, the anti-rotation member engaging the drive nut to prevent rotation thereof. The mechanism also includes an activation member attached to the base, the activation member contacting a disengaging surface portion of the anti-rotation member when such one of the first and the second machine portions is moved to the second position to place the anti-rotation member in a position disengaged from the drive nut so that the drive nut may rotate. A drive nut rotating device is attached to the base, the drive nut rotating device rotating the drive nut to a locking position when such one of the first and the second machine portions is moved to the second position.

Abstract: A process for inhibiting the fouling of a substrate in a fouling environment , which comprises forming on the substrate, before exposure to the said environment, a coating comprising a film-forming polymer (A) carrying unreacted curable silicon-containing functional groups providing latent reactivity, and thereafter applying a layer comprising a curable polymeric fouling-inhibiting material (B), more especially a curable polysiloxane or a curable fluorine-containing polymer, and bonding the applied layer to the said coating by a condensation curing reaction involving the unreacted functional groups thereon. The initial coating can be applied over a range of worn or damaged anti-fouling coatings. The sequential application of layers is a simpler, more flexible a nd more controllable procedure than is offered by complex systems designed to produce outer siloxane-rich regions. Relatively long latency periods are achievable.

Granted: 2005-03-22
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of integrating voice and data services onto a same frequency channel using available transmit power information to determine data rates, wherein the available transmit power information indicates an amount of transmit power available for future data transmissions over one or more data channels. In a "distributed"  embodiment, a transmitter or base station transmits. via a forward link, an available power message to a receiver or mobile-telephone indicating an amount of available transmit power at some future time t+z. The mobile-telephone performs signal-to-interference measurements corresponding to the received forward link and received interference, and uses such signal-to-interference measurements and the available power message to determine a data rate that can be supported by the mobile-telephone. Preferably, the determined data rate corresponds to a maximum data rate at which a minimum level of quality of service can be achieved at the mobile-telephone. In a "centralized" embodiment, the mobile-telephone transmits the signal-to-interference measurements to the base station, and the base station determines the data rate based on the available transmit power at future time t+z.

Abstract: A VoIP (Voice over IP network) gateway device includes an identification pattern inserting section, identification pattern detecting section, pass through frame assembly section, and pass through frame processing section. The identification pattern inserting section inserts an identification pattern of a predetermined bit pattern in a receiving signal from an IP transit trunk, and sends out the signal to a digital exchange. The identification pattern detecting section detects an identification pattern from a receiving signal from the digital exchange. The pass through frame assembly section converts an RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) packet obtained from the IP transit trunk into a digital voice signal in a pass through frame format having a bit rate of 64 kbps when the identification pattern detecting section detects an identification pattern. The pass through frame processing section converts a digital voice signal in the pass through frame format received from the digital exchange into an RTP packet when the identification pattern detecting section detects no identification pattern. A digital one-link tandem exchange method is also disclosed.
