Patent CA-2455541-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NOVIKOV LENNY M
IPC: H05B39/08
Filed: 2004-01-21
Abstract: A dimmer control system has a communication control loop that connects a master unit in series with a plurality of remote units, and it is superimposed in series on the dimmer load line so as to allow two-way communication between the master unit and remote units without affecting the operation of the load. Communications from the master to the remote units are encoded in loop current fluctuations, whereas communications from any remote to the master unit are encoded in loop voltage fluctuations. The master unit has a switched power supply, for use during normal LOAD ON operation, in tandem with a capacitive power supply, for use during LOAD OFF operation of the control units so as to minimize hum. The master unit power supply circuit provides an output rail voltage comprised of a reference voltage for the load superimposed with a control loop voltage for the voltage drop across the series-connected remote units. The master unit has a POWER OFF detection circuit and a non-volatile memory for storing system status information, so that when power is restored, the system can be restored to its former power level. The switch units are formed with a cover frame mounting a switch plate on a hinge axis allowing ON/OFF movement of an opposing side thereof. An array of LED light pipes is mounted in the switch plate aligned with the hinge axis, in order to minimize displacement of the light pipes during actuator movement.

Title: Adaptive pointing for directional antennas
Inventor: GAINEY KENNETH M
IPC: H04B7/06
Filed: 2003-05-02
Abstract: A directional antenna is pointed based on a ranking process. The ranking process of choice uses both ES/NO and Pilot Power parameters as measured fro m a pilot signal for best overall system performance in the forward and revers e links. Using this pointing and ranking process enables adaptive pointing of the directional antenna in interference and multi-path driven environments. The pointing and ranking process may be used to select the "best" pointing angle for communicating with a given base station or for selecting the given base station. The process may include fine tuning techniques for use in different environments. The fine tuning may include the use of weights relat ed to the operating environment or directivity of the directional antenna.</SDO AB>

Title: Soft close ring binder mechanism
Inventor: CHENG HUNG YU
IPC: B42F13/16
Filed: 2005-01-24
Abstract: A ring binder mechanism that retains loose-leaf pages and has ring members that do not snap together when they close and that easily open and close as pages accumulate. The mechanism includes a housing that supports two hinge plates for loose pivoting motion, moving the ring members apart or together. The mechanism further includes an actuating lever pivotally mounted on the housing. The lever moves a travel bar and locking elements for controllably pivoting the hinge plates, and therefore controllably moving the ring members apart and together. In particular, the locking elements cam the hinge plates to softly close the ring members. When the ring members are apart, the locking elements register with openings in at least one of the hinge plates. When the ring members are together, the locking elements are out of registration with the openings, blocking the hinge plates from pivoting to separate the ring members.
