Abstract: A third generation (3G) gateway provides the facilities for extending a number of internet protocols between a second generation (2G) network and a 3G network. The various messages of a session initiation protocol (SIP) are extended to provide user identification and server identification subfields. The SIP message extensions facilitate the communication of 2G and 3G networks for the purposes of implementing push-to-talk and dispatch service features.

Abstract: An apparatus for frequency-modulating telecommunication carriers with baseband signals includes an arrangement for generating two quadrature-related baseband signals in two separate channels, wherein each of the quadrature-related baseband signals is a sinusoidal function of the instantaneous angle of the message signal to be transmitted. The apparatus further includes an arrangement for producing a frequency-modulated carrier from the quadrature-related baseband signals, this arrangement including a device that provides two quadrature-related carrier-frequency waveforms, two mixing devices each for individually mixing one of the quadrature-related carrier-frequency waveforms with one of the quadrature-related baseband signals in one of the channels, and a combining device which combines the output signals from the two channels into a single frequency-modulated carrier-frequency output signal.

Abstract: A gauge for measuring the dimensions of a fillet weld. The gauge includes a calibration arm which slides within diagonal slots formed in the gauge body. The arm overlies a scale imprinted upon the gauge body.
