Title: A position determination method for use with analog cellular system
Inventor: GILHOUSEN KLEIN S
IPC: H04Q7/38
Filed: 1995-03-24
Granted: 2007-07-03
Abstract: A method for determining the location of a mobile unit within a cellular system. A synchronized signal at a common phase is generated at each base station in a system.      The mobile unit transmits a signal tone. Each base station compares the phase of the signal tone to the common phase of the synchronized signal to produce a phase offset. A system controller compares the difference between the phase offset of a first base station and the phase offset of a second base station and determines the difference in distance between the first base station and the mobile unit and the second base station and the mobile unit defining a hyperbolic curve of locations. The system controller determines the intersection of the first and second hyperbolic curves thus determining the location of the mobile unit. The mobile station transmits the signal tone on a second channel that is distinct from a first channel over which user information is transmitted. The mobile station switches to the second channel in response to a request by a base station to the mobile station.

Title: Timer-based feedback in multicast communication
Inventor: NEKOVEE MAZIAR
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2003-06-12
Granted: 2012-08-21
Abstract: A multicast system is described in which a mechanism for suppressing feedback involves the receivers using an optimized timer function for selecting a backoff delay time before sending feedback, and canceling their feedback if in the meantime they detect that another receiver has sent a duplicate feedback message. The timer function is optimised, taking into account both the expected number of feedback messages and the extra latency which is introduced by the feedback mechanism, by minimizing an objective function expressed in terms of both these two aspects

Patent CA-2496909-C (CA)
Inventor: KOELZER ROBERT L
IPC: F04B49/02
Filed: 2003-09-02
Granted: 2008-10-14
Abstract: The invention relates to valves for air compressors, and more particularly, to an unloading/venting valve having integrated therewith a high-pressure protection valve where a pressure reducing valve has a discharge port in communication with the air system and a vent. The valve utilizes a valve body biased to form a seal between the discharge port and the vent. A governor monitors the air pressure in the system and generates a signal to move the valve body against the bias and unloads the system when a first predetermined threshold pressure is reached. In the event of a failure of the valve body to move at the first threshold pressure, the valve body is movable against the bias in response to a second predetermined threshold pressure reached in the system, thereby unloading the system.

Granted: 2012-01-17
Abstract: The implantable medical devices are configured to release at least one therapeutic agent from a matrix affixed to the implantable body with a release profile which is programable to the agent and treatment. The matrix is formed such that the concentration of the therapeutic agent in the matrix varies as a gradient relative to a surface of the implantable body. The change in the concentration gradient of the agent in the matrix directly controls the rate of elution of the agent from the matrix. The therapeutic agent matrix can be disposed in the stent or on surfaces of the stent in various configurations, including within volumes defined by the stent, such as openings, holes, or concave surfaces, as a reservoir of agent, and alternatively as a coating on all or a portion of the surfaces of the stent structure.
