Title: Anchor rope lock
Inventor: JUNGBLOM ERIC
IPC: F16G11/04
Filed: 2006-02-08
Abstract: An anchor rope lock that locks the rope in response to tension exerted by the anchor, and that unlocks the rope for retrieval or adjustment in response to tension applied to the free end. A locking shoe is mounted on a horizontal pivot axis for pivoting towards locked and unlocked positions. The rope passes under a lower surface of the shoe and upwardly through a passage in a projecting toe portion. As the shoe pivots towards the locked position, the lower surface of the shoe moves towards the upper surface of an underlying base plate so as to compress the rope, and the passage in the toe of the shoe moves towards a vertical orientation so as to force the rope into a bend so that the anchor rope is held firmly at a fixed length. When reverse tension is applied to pivot the shoe towards the unlocked position, the lower surface of the shoe moves away from the surface of the base plate so as to release the rope and the passage in the toe portion moves towards a horizontal orientation so as to straighten the bend, so that the rope can be selectively retracted or extended through the lock assembly. From the shoe, the rope exits the top of the toe portion and is directed over a fairlead towards the anchor end. The greatest part of the weight of the shoe is located on the side of the pivot axis opposite the toe portion, so that the weight urges the shoe towards the locked position.

Abstract: A peripheral component (104) is attached to a portable electronic device (102), and indicates an option class of the peripheral component by use of an option select circuit. The option select circuit causes an interrupt to be generated in the portable electronic device, which then determines the option class by changing the logic levels of various option select lines. If an inversion of the logic state of one of the option select lines is detected, then the portable electronic device knows an option select circuit is present, and determines the option class of the peripheral component accordingly.
Patent CA-2549634-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TEAGUE EDWARD HARRISON
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2004-12-20
Abstract: For channel estimation in a spectrally shaped wireless communication system, an initial frequency response estimate is obtained for a first set of P  uniformly spaced subbands (1) based on pilot symbols received on a second set of subbands used for pilot transmission and (2) using extrapolation and/or interpolation, where P is a power of two. A channel impulse response estimate is obtained by performing a P-point IFFT on the initial frequency response estimate. A final frequency response estimate for N total subbands is derived by (1) setting low quality taps for the channel impulse response estimate to zero, (2) zero-padding the channel impulse response estimate to length N, and (3) performing an N-point FFT on the zero-padded channel impulse response estimate. The channel frequency/impulse response estimate may be filtered to obtain a higher quality channel estimate.

Abstract: An integrated circuit Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) in a battery-powered device, such as a cellular phone, can be configured to tune across a fairly wide frequency range using a relatively narrow control voltage range. The frequency response of the VCO can be temperature compensated by applying a temperature variable voltage source to varactors (310a-310b) that form part of a VCO resonant circuit. The reference ends of the varactors can be supplied with a temperature dependent voltage source (370, 380) that has a temperature dependence that substantially compensates for varactor temperature dependence.  The temperature dependent voltage source (370, 380) can be a Proportional To Absolute Temperature (PTAT) device. The VCO includes a CMOS oscillator manufactured on the substrate, an LC resonant tank on the substrate and at least a pair of varacters (310a, 310b; 320a, 320b) having a common anode connection.
