  • Patent number: 11933001
    Abstract: A system and method for the application of friction-modifying coatings to roadways, walkways, pathways and other areas subject to vehicular, human or animal traffic, the system and method comprising the controlled, simultaneous application of binder and filler to a surface of a substrate, using a mobile device which passes over the substrate as the binder and filler are being applied. The system includes a mobile platform configured for being coupled to a vehicle. A binder applicator is mounted on the mobile platform and includes an array of spray nozzles coupled to a resin container. An air knife is mounted on the mobile platform and coupled to an air compressor for generating an air curtain. An aggregate dispenser bar including at least one aggregate dispenser is coupled to an aggregate bin and mounted on the mobile platform for dispensing aggregate.

  • Patent number: 6501961
    Abstract: Reducing power consumption in a dual mode wireless phone, such as a CDMA/AMPS phone, that monitors messages from a forward overhead channel in a standby mode is desirable. It includes turning a receiver off after decoding a pertinent word for the receiver in a particular message and turning it on again some time prior to a next pertinent word. The turn-on is initiated only if necessary to satisfy a redundancy check or if the next word is a beginning of a next message.
