  • Patent number: 6941131
    Abstract: A method of handling an incoming call during an operational mode of a wireless communications device is provided. With the operational mode activated, an incoming call is received at the wireless communications device on a control channel of the wireless communications system. The source of the incoming call is identified, typically by activating caller ID circuitry resident within the wireless communications device to identify a phone number of the source of the incoming call. One of a plurality of pre-recorded messages is then selected either manually or automatically to play back to the source of the incoming call. The plurality of pre-recorded messages are stored at a voice message mailbox in the wireless communications system allocated to the wireless communications device.

  • Publication number: 20030036408
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high-density radio access system comprising an access point controller having a master connection handler and a sector quality of service handler, one or more multi-link controllers communicably coupled to the access point controller, one or more radio transceivers communicably coupled to each multi-link controller, a combiner communicably coupled to the one or more transceivers for each multi-link controller, and an omni directional antenna communicably coupled to the combiner. The present invention provides asymmetric allocation of resources, dynamic allocation of resources, load balancing in a multi-sector, high-density environment, and QoS leveling with categorization per cell, per sector, per system.

  • Patent number: 5717577
    Abstract: The present invention places a semi-lossy gasket between a printed circuit board ground pad ring and a metal shield can for shielding electronic components and circuitry which generate electromagnetic radiation. The present invention also provides a variety of means for aligning and mounting the shield can and gasket to the printed circuit board. Guide pins extending from the shield can extend through apertures in the printed circuit board for aligning the shield can to the printed circuit board. The guide pins can be bent or soldered to the printed circuit board and can also include a hooked end for latching on to the printed circuit board.
