  • Patent number: 11919208
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a medical component includes molding a first member of the medical component from an elastomeric material. The first member includes a first end defined by a closed base wall, an opposing second end which is an open end, a sidewall extending between the first and second ends, and an internal recess to receive at least one electronic device. The method further includes positioning the electronic device within the recess of the first member to form an assembly, such that the electronic device is received in an inverted open cavity defined by the sidewall. The method further includes applying a protective film on the second end of the first member, such that the protective film covers an exposed surface of the electronic device. In addition, the method includes overmolding the assembly with the elastomeric material to form the medical component having the electronic device embedded therein.

  • Publication number: 20060084441
    Abstract: A method and system for restoring services previously provided by a disabled cell. A wireless communication system includes a plurality of cells, and each cell includes a base station. The system detects the disabled cell, and selects at least two base stations included by two respective cells that neighbor the disabled cell. The selected base stations adjust the azimuth and elevation antenna radiation patterns of beams so as to reorient the beams to restore the services previously provided by the disabled cell.

  • Publication number: 20050159190
    Abstract: A remote alerting device provides a user of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) with communications related to cellphone or other WTRU functions. This allows the user to respond and otherwise interact with the WTRU in a manner which enhances convenience and avoids disturbing others. In one configuration, the remote unit receives ring signals from calls which are identified as high priority, and provides the user with a vibratory signal corresponding to the ring. This permits the user to interact with the WTRU without having to physically access the WTRU.

  • Publication number: 20050143062
    Abstract: The invention provides for various cell condition measuring devices and methods. One aspect is a mobile wireless monitor. The mobile monitor takes channel quality information and location information for use in cell condition analysis. Another aspect is a fixed wireless monitor. The fixed monitor takes channel quality information and sends it to a monitored source. Another aspect is a method for analyzing cell channel conditions. A baseline of the channel conditions is generated and wireless monitors update the baseline. Another aspect is a method for base station site selection. A mobile wireless monitor is used to determine an optimum base station site.

  • Publication number: 20050143090
    Abstract: Location data is used to augment signal parameter measurement and signal control of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs). When communication between a base station and the WTRU is established and a location of the WTRU is obtained by the base station, the data is correlated to a database. The correlated data is used to predict changes in signal parameters and the anticipated changes are used to provide adjustments in communication signals between the base station and the WTRU.

  • Publication number: 20050143089
    Abstract: Positions of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) are determined over time. The determined positions are used to determine a movement direction of the WTRU. Based on a current position of the determined positions and the movement direction of the WTRU, at least one cell that the WTRU is approaching is identified. Information is sent to the WTRU for the identified at least one cell. The information for the identified at least one cell is used to reduce the complexity of cell search.

  • Publication number: 20050130598
    Abstract: A location of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is determined. A measurement is made by the WTRU. The measurement is sent to a base station. The sent measurement is combined with measurements sent by other WTRUs to estimate a measurement made for a longer duration than the sent measurement.

  • Publication number: 20050130584
    Abstract: A video connection is established using cameras which are able to be remotely controlled by a distant viewer. A local radio link is established between a telephony device such as a cellular telephone or other wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). A distant viewer connected through a telephone link can use a video image screen to view the camera image and can use the telephone link to control the operation of the camera.

  • Publication number: 20050130592
    Abstract: With respect to a first wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), at least one WTRU near the periphery of other cells is determined. Out of the at least one WTRU near the periphery, at least one WTRU nearby that WTRU is determined. The first WTRU codes are provided of the at least one nearby WTRU. A contribution of the at least one nearby WTRU is canceled from a received signal at a first WTRU, producing an interference canceled signal. Data of the first WTRU is detected from the interference canceled signal.

  • Publication number: 20050107093
    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) responds to a predetermined sequence of broadcast signals in order to enter a quiet mode of operation. A reverse sequence provides an indication for returning to a normal mode of operation. The sequence permits control of the WTRU by crossing an entrance threshold or the like, and also allows control by general area broadcast of the sequence.
