Abstract: Methods performed by a wireless device operating in a dormant mode comprise performing a measurement on each of a plurality of resources from a predetermined set of resources or demodulating and decoding information from each of a plurality of resources from a predetermined set of resources, such as a set of beams. The methods further include evaluating the measurement or the demodulated and decoded information for each of the plurality of resources against a predetermined criterion, and then discontinuing the performing and evaluating of measurements, or discontinuing the demodulating and decoding and evaluation of information, in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met, such that one or more resources in the predetermined set of resources are neither measured nor demodulated and decoded. The methods further comprise deactivating receiver circuitry, further in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met.

Abstract: A stealth pole includes a plurality of canister sections, each of the plurality of canister sections including a spine, a first splice plate located on a first end of the spine, a second splice plate located on a second end of the spine, and a canister cover that covers the spine, the first splice plate and the second splice plate. A method for reinforcing the stealth pole includes removing the canister cover from at least one of the plurality of canister sections; attaching a plurality of stiffener members to the first splice plate and the second splice plate; and applying tension, compression or a combination thereof to the plurality of stiffener members. The plurality of stiffener members reinforce the spine of the canister section. A reinforced stealth pole is also described.

Abstract: A method for assisting a firearm user with a vision condition includes: (a) fitting a housing on the firearm, the housing at least partially enclosing an aiming indicia including (1) a rear sight having two spaced apart sight elements defining a rear sight gap and (2) a front sight configured to be aligned with the rear sight gap, wherein the rear sight sight elements and the front sight each include a transparent optical lens disposed on a rear side, and wherein each optical lens has a positive optical power configured to provide substantially clear vision of the aiming indicia when viewed through the optical lens; and (b) assisting the firearm user with a vision condition by aiming the firearm at a target to bring into focus the rear sight and the front sight at the rear sight gap.

Abstract: A method includes rendering, by a user interface of a computing device, a plurality of antenna mount options. The method includes receiving a selection of an antenna mount option. The method includes generating a geometry of a tower and the antenna mount option including a relative position of each of a plurality of tower components based on a load bearing capacity of the tower and the antenna mount option. The method includes rendering the generated geometry. The method includes generating, using the geometry and the load bearing capacity, an input file for a modeling program. The method includes importing the input file to the modeling program and running the modeling program, wherein the modeling program performs a structural analysis of the tower and the antenna mount option. The method includes rendering a result of the structural analysis including a stress and strain of the tower and the antenna mount option.

Abstract: A reinforcing apparatus for a telecommunications tower having a foundation at least partially embedded in the ground includes: a plurality of reinforcing bars at least partially embedded in the foundation; a transition member extending outward from the foundation; a joint connector connecting the plurality of reinforcing bars to a first end of the transition member; and an anchor attached to a second end of the transition member. The anchor is embedded in the ground. Methods of reinforcing a telecommunications tower are also described.

Abstract: Reinforcing bars include load transfer connectors. A link plate includes openings that mate with the load transfer connectors to overlie the splice between reinforcing bars being spliced. A cover plate may be fastened over the link plate.

Abstract: A sight system for a firearm may comprise a corrective sight. The corrective sight may be disposed adjacent a first end of a barrel of the firearm. The corrective lens may comprise an aiming tool, such as a reticle lens. The sight system may comprise a front sight disposed adjacent a second end of the barrel of the firearm. The corrective sight may comprise an optical lens with a positive optical power. The positive optical power may be configured to provide substantially clear vision of at least one of a target, the aiming tool, an indicia of the aiming tool, or the front sight when viewed through the optical lens. The sight system may comprise a retaining body configured to house at least a portion of the corrective sight. The sight system may comprise a mounting element configured to mount the corrective sight the firearm. The sight system may comprise the firearm.
