Abstract: A method includes identifying a plurality of communication channels at a wireless device and classifying each of the communication channels into one of a plurality of groups. The method also includes scanning the communication channels in the groups. The communication channels in at least one of the groups are scanned at a different frequency than the communication channels in at least one other of the groups. In addition, the method includes updating one or more of the groups based on the scans.

Abstract: A system includes an enterprise network having a call control system that manages telephony services for wireless handsets. At a remote site, a computing device establishes a secure, wireline communication session with the enterprise network. The computing device also establishes wireless, packet-based links with one or more handsets. The device acts as a relay to enable the handsets to receive telephony services managed by the enterprise network even though outside of the service area of the enterprise network.

Abstract: A method for site administration includes receiving a user's instruction to invoke a tool at a wireless handset. The method also includes invoking execution of the tool at the wireless handset. The tool is operable to identify at least one characteristic of at least one access point in a communication system and to display the at least one characteristic associated with the at least one access point to the user at the handset.

Abstract: An electroerosion apparatus comprising: an electrode, a multiaxis machine, an electrolyte supply including a conduit for circulating an electrolyte, and a controller in operative communication with the multiaxis machine and configured for distributing intermittent multiple electrical arcs between the electrode and a workpiece. The multiaxis machine comprises a tool head configured to support and to spin the electrode, and a spindle configured to support a workpiece. The electrolyte comprises an anti-rusting agent, a defoaming agent, a lucent additive, a burst additive, a surface active medium, a lubricant, and water, and has a conductivity of about 0.1 milliSiemens to about 30 milliSiemens. In one embodiment, the method of electroerosion machining a workpiece comprises: creating relative motion between a spinning electrode and a workpiece; circulating an electrolyte around the spinning electrode, and distributing multiple electrical arcs between the electrode tip and the workpiece.

Abstract: A method for extracting parameters of a cutting tool is provided. The method includes obtaining a measurement data set having a point cloud corresponding to a surface of the cutting tool and virtually slicing the point cloud at a pre-determined section to obtain a set of points on the pre-determined section. The method also includes generating a plurality of curves through the set of points and optimizing the plurality of curves to generate optimized fitting curves and extracting the parameters of the cutting tool from the optimized fitting curves. Furthermore, based on the presented rotary angle projection technique, a plurality of parameters can be extracted for the cutting tool.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for aligning a cutting tool comprising displacing a first slide comprising a microscope in a first direction at a first speed; displacing a second slide comprising an adjustable tool holder and a cutting tool in a second direction at a second speed; wherein the adjustable tool holder is in operative communication with the cutting tool; observing an actual path of travel of a cross hair center of the microscope with respect to a cutting edge of the cutting tool; and adjusting the position of the cutting tool so that the cutting edge of the cutting tool and the cross hair center lie in the same plane during the travel of the cross hair center.
