Publication number: 20120036072Abstract: A logistics system manages the shipments of goods supplied from a plurality of different shippers by a plurality of carriers. It has a variety of modules integrated with each other to perform various functionalities. For example, it may have a purchasing module evaluating proposals by shippers for respective shipments of goods and awarding contracts for the shipments to the plurality of carriers. It may have an optimization module analyzing the proposals and informing the purchasing module if an opportunity exists for at least some of the shipments to be consolidated, in which case at least one contract awarded by the purchasing module is for a consolidated group of the shipments. It may have a contract administration module maintaining information relating to the status of proposals received and contracts awarded by the purchasing module. It may have a scheduling module scheduling shipments according to the awarded contracts.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2011Publication date: February 9, 2012Inventors: Glenn E. Riggs, John H.

Patent number: 6163231Abstract: In a millimeter wave modulation of the direct modulation technology, the switching speed is increased and the modulation bandwidth is broadened. A millimeter wave modulator includes a millimeter wave waveguide. a switching element (PIN diode) disposed in the waveguide in which the switching element is turned on and off by a digital signal to achieve amplitude-modulation of a millimeter carrier wave propagating through the waveguide, and a shunt resistor connected to the switching element in parallel.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1999Date of Patent: December 19, 2000Assignee: Omron CorporationInventor: Robert A.
