Publication number: 20160135185Abstract: Modifications to frame/subframe structure are presented herein so that a wirelessdevice can transmit its data within a fraction of a subframe. The device obtains data to be transmitted in an unlicensed spectrum and determines whether an entire subframe is required to completely communicate the data. If the data is small enough to not require the entire subframe, then the device generates a burst transmission to minimize the time period of the subframe used to communicate the data. The device transmits the burst transmission and a parameter indicating the duration of the burst transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2015Publication date: May 12, 2016Inventors: Vikram Chandrasekhar, James Seymour, Rajesh Pazhyannur, Andrew Myles

Patent number: 7600440Abstract: A liquid sealed air displacement apparatus may be used in a fluid transfer device to transfer volumes of fluid. The air displacement apparatus may include a piston and a cylinder defining a displacement chamber for receiving the piston. The air displacement apparatus may be used to displace precise volumes of air into the air displacement chamber. Displacing the air creates a negative pressure in the air displacement chamber (i.e., suction), which may cause a precise volume of fluid to be drawn into the fluid transfer device. The piston and the cylinder may define a diametrical clearance for receiving sealing fluid, which may prevent air leakage and wear.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2005Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: Ivek CorporationInventors: Doug Bensley, Mark Tanny, James Seymour, Janet Bensley

Publication number: 20070025264Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for controlling service quality of data communications in a wireless network in which quality of service control for voice over internet protocol packets is provided on a downlink shared channel. A method is provided for a wireless communications between at least a first and a second service user. The method comprises prioritizing transmission of voice over internet protocol packets for the first and second service users over a shared downlink channel based on a first end-to-end delay that the first service user experiences relative to a second end-to-end delay that the second service user experiences. For example, such a priority adaptation may provide quality of service control for voice over internet protocol over a high-speed downlink packet access channel based on an end-to-end delay that a mobile-to-mobile user may be currently experiencing relative to a mobile-to-land user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2005Publication date: February 1, 2007Inventors: Fang-Chen Cheng, James Seymour
