Abstract: A radio telephone is provided with a body (3) and a cover (2) arranged for relative sliding movement with the body (3). The radio telephone also comprises guide means for guiding the relative sliding movement, the guide means comprising a guide track on the cover (2) and a guide rail on the body (3). The guide rail extends along a portion of the guide track when the cover irrespective of the relative positions of the cover (2) and body (3) and the force between the cover (2) and body (3) is substantially constant over a range of positions along the guide track, which leads to a tactile improvement for the user. Alternatively, the guide rail may be provided on the cover (2) and the guide track on the body (3).

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for risk assessment and interactive risk management.

Abstract: An organizer system for attaching a document to a binder, the document having at least one edge. The system includes a strip including an elongated layer of material having a first major surface and an opposite second major surface, the first major surface having an inner edge portion and an outer edge portion, said outer edge portion defining a document attachment feature, said inner portion including a coating of adhesive. The system further includes a positioning tool having a strip positioning portion including strip alignment features and a document receiving portion having document alignment features corresponding to the at least one edge of the document. The strip positioning portion receives the inner edge portion of the strip and the outer edge portion of the strip overlaps the document edge alignment feature.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining current channel state information in a communications system having a first communications unit communicating to a second communications unit, wherein the first communications unit sends a channel sounding packet (32) to the second communications unit. The channel sounding packet (32) is sent a time period, t, prior to the transmission of a signal by the second communications unit to the first communications unit. The second communications unit receives the channel sounding packet (46) and processes the channel sounding packet to determine at least one channel characteristic. In response to receiving the channel sounding packet (46) the second communications unit appends frame code information (48) to the signal to be transmitted from the second communications unit to the first communications unit, to inform the first communications unit of the communications parameters that have been optimized.

Abstract: A heat dissipating device which can provide multiple levels of pressure to a semiconductor package, having an outer peripheral ceramic region and an inner silicon region and installed in a socket, is provided. A clip member is provided with a central female-threaded bore. A collar, having outer male threads and inner female threads is threadably receivable within the bore of the clip member. The collar is threaded down into the bore to communicate with an upper surface of the ceramic portion of a semiconductor device at a first pressure which is high enough to maintain the package in electrical communication with its socket. A heat dissipating member, having a male-threaded base, is threadably installed into the female-threaded bore of the collar to engage the upper surface of the silicon portion of the semiconductor package.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for reducing the unproductive consumption of energy by equipment primarily intended to be operated during the presence of a person or thing in the area of operation of the equipment. The system renders the equipment operable during the time a person or thing is present within the area of operation and for a short period of time immediately thereafter. Except for the short period of time immediately after the person or thing exits the area of operation, the system renders the equipment inoperable during the time the person or thing is absent from the area of operation. Maintaining the equipment operable during the short period of time after the person or thing exits the area of operation reduces deleterious recycling which would otherwise occur in the event the area of operation were reentered within the short period of time.

Abstract: A nozzle body of a molded spray head forms a path for a highly pressurized carrier fluid. The fluid path includes a rectangular-section, diverging outlet and a spray nozzle spaced upstream therefrom in a suction chamber for directing the carrier fluid in a spray pattern spaced inwardly of and parallel to the walls of the diverging outlet. A chemical product is selectively passed into the suction chamber for entrainment about the carrier fluid. Avoiding impingement of the carrier fluid spray upon the walls of the nozzle outlet helps to maintain the 600-1000 psi pressure of the carrier fluid flow throughout the nozzle body for increased impact pressure upon surfaces to be sprayed.
