  • Patent number: 6215991
    Abstract: A method of changing the code of a radio communication system having a main unit and at least one remote unit is provided. The method generally includes in an embodiment the step of setting the code transmission frequency of the main unit of the radio communication system at a value within a frequency gap separating a first channel from a second channel of the main unit. The method also includes the step of setting the code transmission frequency of the remote unit at a value within a frequency gap separating a first channel from a second channel of that remote unit. The method further includes the step of selecting a code for encoding communication signals between the main and remote units and transmitting the selected code from one of the main and remote units to the other at the code transmission frequency.

  • Patent number: 6010126
    Abstract: A sheet-by-sheet paper feeding structure includes a sheets separating plate and a pressure plate. When a pile of paper is fed into the paper feeding structure, a front end of the pile urges against the sheets separating plate, which is in turn pressed by a press leg of the press plate above so that the sheets of paper are checked from displacing forwardly. The press plate further includes elastic plates having elastic plate press legs that help keep the sheets of paper flat and stable during feeding. A lowermost sheet of the pile is in direct contact with a roller of a facsimile machine or printer or the like. When the roller rolls forwardly, it will only bring the lowermost sheet to advance forwardly while the rest of the pile is being checked by the sheets separating plate.
