  • Vibration testing of a pole-mounted communications network base station
    Patent number: 6128960
    Abstract: A test fixture for the vibration testing of pole-mounted apparatus includes a short length of pole hingedly supported on a vibration shake table, with the apparatus undergoing testing being secured to the pole. The end of the pole opposite its hinged mounting is coupled via a spring assembly to a rigid member secured to the shake table. Adjusting the spring constants "tunes" the response of the pole section to simulate a full size pole.

  • Control system for efficient intermittent operation of building HVAC equipment
    Patent number: 4475685
    Abstract: A system of determining optimum start/stop times for HVAC equipment in a building utilizes quantized inside and outside air temperature values as the controlling data input. Lead-times necessary to achieve the desired control temperatures, given input and output temperature levels are stored in a matrix in a central processor storage. System performance is monitored and results are used to modify the lead-times so that the operating system can more closely achieve the desired results.
