  • Publication number: 20070137139
    Abstract: An underlayment for supplementing one or more physical properties of wall, ceiling, and floor construction components is used to in a wall, ceiling, or floor assembly that may be fabricated on site. The assembly includes: first and second wall, ceiling, or floor construction components which each have physical properties and an underlayment component which has at least one supplemental physical property for supplementing the physical properties of the first and second construction components. The construction components may or may not be secured together with the underlayment sandwiched between the second and first construction components to form a wall, ceiling, or floor assembly with the supplemental physical property or properties of the underlayment. The supplemental physical property or properties of the underlayment may include, but are not limited to, latent storage of thermal energy, sound transmission reduction, and/or burn through resistance.

  • Publication number: 20060194553
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, processors and computer-readable media include a radiated testing module that executes a predetermined radiated performance test on a wireless device. The test dictates various performance-related parameters to measure and log at each of a plurality of predetermined positions. Further, the wireless device receives synchronization information operable to enable synchronization between the logged measurements and each of the positions. The synchronized log allows the wireless device, or another apparatus, to determine a radiated performance characteristic based on a predetermined analysis protocol. Further, the described embodiments allow for the determination of several radiated performance characteristics in a single test, using a single, unaltered wireless device.

  • Patent number: 6843349
    Abstract: A trolley wheel mechanism has two caster wheel assemblies each having a pair of wheels mounted on a rotatable housing. In a free mode the wheels are free to both rotate and to swivel. This is caused by the user pressing a release pedal. In a unidirectional mode a retainer lock engages a brake disc to prevent swivelling of the housing. This is caused by the user pressing both pedals simultaneously. A brake mode is caused by the user pressing the apply pedal.

  • Publication number: 20040058651
    Abstract: A system, method, and program for remotely interacting with a diagnostic interface resident on wireless computer devices. The wireless device provides an accessible diagnostic interface that allows reads and/or writes to device resident diagnostic data and tools. Through use of the interaction, wireless device status data and network status data can be gathered and utilized, and if so embodied, the diagnostic tools resident on the wireless devices can be manipulated to alter wireless device operation.

  • Publication number: 20040011597
    Abstract: A trolley wheel mechanism (1) has two caster wheel assemblies (2) each having a pair of wheels (15) mounted on a rotatable housing (18). In a free mode the wheels (15) are free to both rotate and to swivel. This is caused by the user pressing a release pedal (4). In a unidirectional mode a retainer lock (19) engages a brake disc (22) to prevent swivelling of the housing (18). This is caused by the user pressing both pedals (4, 5) simultaneously. A brake mode is caused by the user pressing the apply pedal (5).
