  • Patent number: 9756508
    Abstract: A system for quantifying the shadow fading observed in a wireless environment having multiple wireless access points is also provided. A distance determination module is in signal communication with the wireless access points. The distance determination module determines a distance between a pair of the wireless access points based on location information that relates to the locations of the wireless access points at the wireless environment. A shadow fading determination module is also in signal communication with the wireless access points. The shadow fading determination module determines a shadow fading factor based on the distance between a pair of the wireless access points and based on RSS information received from one of the wireless access points in the pair of wireless access points.

  • Patent number: 7517028
    Abstract: A collapsible storage arrangement for hanging files with a storage housing that retains a pivotable framework that can be pivoted between an upright configuration for enabling access to file folders and a collapsed configuration for storage. The pivotable framework can include first and second pivotally retained frame structures in combination with first and second support rails that have first and second ends pivotally connected to the first and second frame structures. The storage housing can have first and second end walls, first and second side walls, and a bottom. A lid can selectively seal the storage housing. A guide arrangement, which can comprise a flexible member, a guide panel, or a fixed inclined surface, can guide file folders toward a reclined position as the pivotable framework is pivoted from an upright configuration to a collapsed configuration.
