  • Low layer paging indicator processing system and method for multi-layer communication equipment used in a wireless communication system
    Patent number: 7228144
    Abstract: A wireless communication system implements wireless communications between a base station and a plurality of User Equipments (UEs) including paging of UEs by initially processing paging indicator information. A first embodiment involves a UE's physical layer L1 being configured for interpreting a paging indicator (PI) to activate a preset decoding configuration to process paging data in a pre-specified paging channel (PCH). A second embodiment involves the physical layer control of a next higher level, L2, interpreting the paging indicator and configuring the physical layer L1 to process paging data in a pre-specified PCH.
    Type: Grant

  • Vehicle data storage and analysis system and methods
    Patent number: 5638273
    Abstract: A system for monitoring, recording, and analyzing operational and incident data from a machine, particularly a vehicle. The system includes a computer controlled device, mounted onboard the machine, which collects and records data supplied to it from a variety of sensors positioned to sense operational parameters of the machine. The device provides for storing operational data at one frequency while storing data surrounding an incident or triggering event at a higher frequency, thus, recording incident data with a higher resolution than that associated with normal operating data. The incident data is stored at a higher frequency for predetermined periods both before and after the incident or triggering event.
