Abstract: A toilet paper storage apparatus may include a base storage device having a front surface member, a rear surface member, a bottom surface member, a first side surface member, and a second side surface member. The base storage device may be configured to securely engage at least one of a tank lid and a tank of a toilet. The apparatus may further include a lid configured to operably engage the base storage device. The lid may have an interior surface and an exterior surface, and the lid and the base storage device define at least one storage cavity configured to store at least one toilet paper roll.

Abstract: A method for controlling the transmit power level of a mobile terminal in a satellite communication system includes both a closed-loop element and an open-loop element. For the closed-loop element, the base station calculates the mobile terminal's power setting based on the strength of the signals received from the mobile terminal. The base station takes into account the propagation delays of the satellite system in determining the mobile terminal's transmit power setting. The open-loop element of the power control method allows the mobile terminal to adjust its own transmit power level from frame to frame based on the strength of the received signals from the base station. The strength of the signal received from the base station in each frame is compared to the strength of the signal received in the previous frame. The transmit power level of the mobile terminal is then adjusted inversely in accordance with variations in the observed signal strength.
