  • Process of Laminating Border For Bedding Product Without Heat
    Publication number: 20130233484
    Abstract: A method of making a multi-layer border for use in a bedding product, such as a mattress, is disclosed. The layers are secured together without the use of heat, thereby enabling the process to be stopped and started as desired without the worry of burning the materials. Pressure is applied to the multi-layered material in the form of pinch rollers to secure the layers together. One of the layers comprises an outer ticking material. As many layers of foam and/or fiber as desired may be included, provided a layer of doubled-sided adhesive is sandwiched between adjacent layers. A backing may comprise the innermost layer.

  • IDENTIFICATION READER
    Publication number: 20130235435
    Abstract: A passport and identification card reader minimizes the time and effort required for an operator to read/scan a passport or piece of identification. An immigration official, for example, can slide a passport into place with one hand while tending to other important security activities with the other hand. Once in place, the passport will be automatically detected and read. Numerous passports bound together by a traveler with multiple visas can be held flat in place and accurately read, even with one hand, despite the natural tendency of the passport(s) to return to a closed position.

  • TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND ENCRYPTION OF CONTROL MESSAGES IN SUCH SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20130236017
    Abstract: A method for encrypting radio resource control (RRC) messages exchanged between a wireless communication device and a node in a wireless communication system includes separating sequence number rollover events from mobility events while encrypting radio resource control (RRC) messages for exchange within a wireless communication system. According to the method, the sequence number rollover events and mobility events are separated by utilizing a state transition counter, a handover counter, and an overflow counter such that, when the state counter is incremented due to occurrences of a first group of events, the handover counter and the overflow counter are re-set to zero and, when the handover counter is incremented due to occurrences of a second group of events the overflow counter is re-set to zero.

  • TUBE WITH REVERSE NECKING PROPERTIES
    Publication number: 20130238080
    Abstract: An improved tubular structure adapted to increase in diameter upon application of axial force is provided. Increase in diameter is achieved by constructing the tube from multiple layers of material that move relative to each other during axial elongation of the tube. The tube of the present invention can be used both to avoid problems in “necking” found in many prior tube devices, and to provide additional benefits that increases in diameter of the tube during axial elongation can provide. As such, the tube of the present invention may be useful as a manufacturing aid, as a deployment sheath (for example, to deliver medical devices), and in other applications that may benefit from easier tubular sheath removal.

    Publication number: 20130235806
    Abstract: A node in a wireless communication system comprising an antenna array with at least a first antenna function and a second antenna function. The node further comprises a first radio chain and a second radio chain, where each antenna function is connected to a base band via a corresponding radio chain. Each radio chain comprises an oscillator, a splitter and a multiplexer, each oscillator being arranged to feed a signal with a unique frequency band to the splitter in the same radio chain. The splitter is arranged to divide the signal into at least two signal parts and feed each part to the multiplexer of each radio chain such that each multiplexer in the node receives signal parts from each splitter in the node. The splitter is arranged to weight the division of the signal into the signal parts in dependence of the frequency bands fed by each oscillator.
