Abstract: A system increases the capacity of a CDMA network having a plurality of cell sites. The system defines a pool of frequencies available for assignment, and assigns one of the available frequencies to each of the cell sites so as to minimize the number of neighboring cell sites assigned a same one of the available frequencies. By deploying different frequencies in the cell sites, the amount of interference caused by neighboring cell sites reduces. As a result, the capacity of each of the cell sites operating at a single frequency can be increased, so long as there remains sufficient power to reach the mobile units operating within the cell site. The system attains maximum benefits when the cell sites are located close together and the propagation exponent is low (for example, 10-20 dB/decade).

Abstract: An aerosol powder valve has a valve housing, a valve body with an upstanding valve stem, radial stem orifices, and an annular tight-fitting gasket with a central opening forming the sole seal for the stem orifices. The valve stem is straight-sided above and below the stem orifices and is characterized by the absence of a gasket-receiving groove encircling the stem. The valve body has a plurality of narrow splines spaced around its periphery, the top spline surfaces being of minimal area in relation to the area of the circumferential spaces between the tops of the splines. The spline top surfaces abut the gasket underside when the valve is closed, and the minimal top spline areas prevent powder build-up to adversely affect full sealing of the valve. Other lateral surfaces on the valve body near the gasket are eliminated to likewise avoid powder build-up thereon. The spline sides may diverge outwardly and downwardly from the spline top surfaces. The gasket sealing surface surrounding the valve stem has a lubricant, i.e., silicone, baked thereon. The stem orifices are positioned vertically over circumferential spaces between splines.
