  • Publication number: 20060281424
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an RF input configured to receive RF signals from a communication network subscriber site. The apparatus includes a signal processor operably coupled to the RF input. The signal processor is operable to scan the RF signals for power levels at a plurality of frequencies and generate power level signals based at least in part on the power levels. The apparatus includes a controller operably coupled to the signal processor. The controller is operable, in response to at least one user input command, to cause the signal processor to scan the RF signals for the power levels with the plurality of frequencies spread over at least one predetermined frequency band. At least one of the controller and the signal processor is operable to indicate an ingress susceptibility of the subscriber site in at least one human-perceptible form based at least in part on the power level signals.

  • Patent number: 5996384
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rolling mill stand including an automatic strip steering and control system, comprising at least two rolls arranged alongside each other and permitting strip to pass between them from an entry side to an exit side, and comprising roll actuating means for adjusting the position of the rolls, wherein the system comprises at least one camera means for viewing the strip on the entry side of the mill and measuring the axial alignment thereof to produce a camera measurement signal which is used as an input signal to control the roll actuating means which acts on the roll to adjust the roll gap and/or tilt angle of the roll. First and second camera means are provided for viewing the strip on the exit and entry sides of the mill. A pair of actuating means are provided one arranged on each side of the rolls. The actuating means may be hydraulic roll gap cylinders.
