  • Publication number: 20240093687
    Abstract: A compressor includes: a housing; a compressor body to compress gas; a motor to drive the compressor body; a control board to control the motor; and a tank to store the gas outputted from the compressor body, wherein the housing has: a machine chamber storing the compressor body and the motor; a B-chamber having piping to connect the compressor body with the tank; an A-chamber storing the tank; an A-partition separating the machine chamber from the A-chamber and B-chamber; and a B-partition between the A-chamber and the B-chamber, the A-chamber has an air intake port to introduce ambient air, the A-partition has an A-vent as a hole to communicate between the machine chamber and the A-chamber, and a suction port of the compressor body is located in vicinity to the A-vent.

  • Patent number: 8041325
    Abstract: A mobile receiver having a multi-mode interference suppression function and a way to estimate its speed utilizes a parametric approach to interference suppression at high speeds, and a nonparametric approach at low speeds. In particular, if the mobile receiver is currently operating in a nonparametric mode and its speed exceeds a first predetermined threshold, the mobile receiver switches to a parametric mode. Conversely, if the mobile receiver is currently in parametric mode and its speed is less than a second predetermined threshold, the mobile receiver switches to nonparametric mode. In one embodiment, the speed may be estimated by a Doppler frequency in the received signal, and the thresholds are Doppler frequencies. In one embodiment, the first and second thresholds are different, creating a hysteresis in the mode switching.

  • Patent number: 7474648
    Abstract: A time slot boundary of an unknown cell in a telecommunications system is identified by correlating a received signal with a known code over a range of delay values for each of one or more time slots, wherein the known code is used by all cells in the telecommunications system. Only for each of the delay values that are not associated with a known cell, correlation values obtained at each of the one or more time slots are accumulated. The time slot boundary is identified by determining which of the delay values is associated with a highest accumulated correlation value. One or more stored monitored delay sets may be used to determine which delay values are not associated with a known cell. The one or more stored monitored delay sets may be filtered using delay information obtained over a period of time.

  • Publication number: 20070064642
    Abstract: A cell search in a spread spectrum telecommunication system is performed by determining a spreading code of an undetected neighbor cell; and de-spreading a received signal using the scrambling code of the undetected neighbor cell at a path delay position of an already-detected cell. The undetected neighbor cell may be identified by means of a neighbor list received from a network of the spread spectrum telecommunication system. A path searcher can be used to perform de-spreading the received signal using the scrambling code of the undetected neighbor cell at the path delay position of an already-detected cell. Concurrently with this operation, a cell searcher can be used to perform a path-masked cell search procedure.
