  • Publication number: 20050075136
    Abstract: A method that utilizes software means to meet the FCC requirement for an U-NII antenna to be an integral part of the device in which it operates, while providing wireless ready U-NII devices and CRUable U-NII radios. Enhancements are made to the system BIOS, including the inclusion of a table of PCI IDs and secret key pairs. The CRUable radio includes a pair of validation registers (VRs) and an EEPROM storing an PCI ID and secret key of an approved device. During boot up of the device, the PCI ID and secret key from the device's BIOS are compared against the PCI ID and secret key stored in the radio's EEPROM. The first comparison completes a radio-to-device authentication in the device, while the second comparison completes a device-to-radio authentication in the radio. U-NII transmission capability is enabled only when both parameters match, indicating FCC approved device-antenna-radio combination under the “integral” requirement.

  • Publication number: 20050074123
    Abstract: A method that utilizes software and hardware mechanisms to meet the FCC requirement for a U-NII antenna to be an integral part of the device in which it operates, while providing wireless ready U-NII devices and CRUable U-NII radios. Enhancements are made to the software BIOS, including the inclusion of a table of approved radio-antenna PCI ID pairs to create an authentication scheme that verifies and authenticates the radio and antenna combination as being an FCC-approved unique coupling during boot-up of the system. The BIOS also comprises an OEM field that stores an encrypted secret key utilized to complete a second check of the radio model placed in the device. During boot up of the device, the PCI ID pairs from the BIOS are compared against the PCI ID of the radio and the secret key is checked against the radio model.

  • Patent number: 4029264
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a novel cling film roll having a nodulose leading edge portion composed of a plurality of surface disturbances consisting of small stretched area projections obtained by compressing the film between a nodulose surface, such as sandpaper or emery cloth, and a yieldable support surface.

  • Patent number: 3940007
    Abstract: Containers are made from container sections, placed one upon the other. Each section has four sides. Corner members are placed on each side edge of each side. The corner member on one side edge is L shaped and the corner member on the other side edge is J shaped. The L shaped and J shaped members co-act to allow adjacent sides to be removably fixed one to the other.
