Publication number: 20140119345Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed to provide for a multi-SIM wireless user equipment configured for block-level, or slot-level tune-away operations enabling simultaneous communication with a plurality of channels. The first and second channels may correspond to different RANs, each of which the user equipment may subscribe to as corresponding to information in a plurality of SIMs at the user equipment. In other examples, the first and second channels may correspond to different cells within a single RAN. In either case, the tune-away operations disclosed provide for reduced data loss at the first channel and in some examples improved communication performance at the second channel. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2013Publication date: May 1, 2014Applicant: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Divaydeep Sikri, Mungal Singh Dhanda, Nigel Phillip Robinson, Simon Walke, Abeezar A.

Publication number: 20100031527Abstract: A dryer vent contains one to three components that connect the dryer from the dryers exhaust port to the wall connection port where the air flow is directed to the outside of the business or residence. The Next Generation Dryer Vent System is composed of two end units that have a universal fitting and they are connected by a flexible rectangular tube allowing for the dryer to be closer to the back wall in which current available products leak or fail. The universal fittings allow for a proper seal while maintaining flexibility the end units transfer the heat from one end to the other thru the tubing to the outside port exhaust.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2009Publication date: February 11, 2010Inventors: James Phillip Robinson, Jackie Perry Robinson

Patent number: 6503688Abstract: A high resolution patterning method of a resist layer is disclosed by patternwise irradiation of a resist layer with electron beam utilizing a polysubstituted triphenylene compound as the electron beam resist material, which is graphitized and made insoluble in both polar and non-polar organic solvents for electron doses greater than 2×10−3 C/cm2, and which undergoes cleavage of the adduct chains and extensive de-aromatization of the triphenylene core therefore enhancing the solubility in polar solvents only for electron doses between 3×10−4 and 2×10−3 C/cm2. The thus formed positive or negative tone resist layer is highly resistant against dry etching to ensure the utility of the method in fine patterning work for the manufacture of semiconductor devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2001Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignees: The University of Birmingham, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and TechnologyInventors: Jon Andrew Preece, Richard Edward Palmer, Alexander Phillip Robinson, Toshihiko Kanayama, Tetsuya Tada
