Patent number: 7733949Abstract: A wireless communications system is provided with reduced sideband noise and carrier leakage. In the system, at least one transmitter modulates at least one input signal with a first carrier to generate a modulated output signal, and at least one receiver receives the modulated output signal and demodulates the same with a second carrier to generate at least one demodulated output signal. The first and second carriers are at different frequencies, such that the sideband noise and carrier leakage generated by different sources can be distinguished.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2006Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Hang Jin, Ahmadreza Hedayat, George Bednekoff, Mitch Johnson, Wenhua Zhou, John Grabner

Patent number: 7656957Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for passing a transmit/receive control signal and a power signal through a coax cable from a base transceiver station to a tower top device in a time division duplex communication system. After generating the transmit/receive control signal and a radio frequency signal for communications, the transmit/receive control signal modulates a separate timing control operating on a separate control frequency. It is then multiplexed on at least one coax cable along with the radio frequency signal and DC power. At the tower top device, the modulated transmit/receive control signal is converted back to a DC level for providing a time division duplex control reference.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2006Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Mitch Johnson, George Bednekoff

Publication number: 20090224512Abstract: A folding trailer may be capable of moving between a use position and a storage position. The folding trailer may include an axle that is capable of moving between a first position in which the axle is generally aligned along an axis and a second position in which the axle is disposed in a folded configuration. The folding trailer may also include a towing arm that is movable between an extended position in which a portion of the towing arm extends beyond the front portion of the frame to facilitate attached to a towing vehicle and a collapsed position in which the towing arm is at least substantially disposed underneath the frame. In addition, the trailer may include an adjustment assembly that is sized and configured to adjust the position of the axle between the first and second positions, and adjust the position of the towing arm between the extended and collapsed positions. Advantageously, the adjustment assembly may have different configurations and arrangements.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2009Publication date: September 10, 2009Inventors: David C.

Publication number: 20090115163Abstract: A trailer may include a connection assembly. The connection assembly may include an arm sized and configured to be connected to a vehicle to allow the vehicle to tow the trailer. The towing arm may be movable between extended and retracted positions. The trailer may also include a handle assembly, which may be movable between extended and retracted positions relative to the towing arm. The trailer may be easily towed by the vehicle when, for example, the towing arm is extended and the handle assembly is retracted. The trailer may also be used as a wheelbarrow when, for example, the towing arm is retracted and the handle assembly is extended. The connection assembly, the handle assembly, and/or other components of the trailer may include openings that may be aligned to receive fasteners to secure the towing arm and/or the handle assembly in the extended and/or retracted positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2008Publication date: May 7, 2009Inventors: David C.

Publication number: 20090066061Abstract: A folding trailer may be selectively moved between an extended or use position and a collapsed or storage position. The folding trailer may include an axle that is capable of being moved between a first position in which the axle is generally aligned along an axis and a second position in which the axle is disposed in a folded configuration. The axle is preferably located in generally the same plane in the first and second positions. In addition, the axle preferably moves in a generally rearward direction when the axle is moved from the first to the second position. The trailer may also include a bed that is capable of being moved between a first position in which first and second portions of the bed are generally aligned with a first plane and a second position in which the first and second portions of the bed are disposed in a folded position and generally aligned with a second plane.
