  • Patent number: 9510211
    Abstract: A transceiver station provides wireless resources including at least one communication feature for users in a geographical coverage area. The geographical coverage area includes a plurality of cells, and each of the plurality of cells is associated with a different combination of at least one carrier and at least one sector. The transceiver station includes: a first board having a first L1 processing circuit configured to perform functions associated with providing the at least one communication feature for the user in a first subset of the plurality of cells; and a second board configured to exchange at least control information with the first board. The second board includes a second L1 processing circuit configured to perform functions associated with providing the at least one communication feature for the user in a second subset of the plurality of cells.

  • Patent number: 5686312
    Abstract: A method for reducing residue formation caused by volatile materials during the curing of powder coating compositions which includes the steps of applying different powder coating compositions to separate bases; placing each coated base in a separate extraction chamber; placing each separate extraction chamber in a curing oven; heating the coated base in its respective extraction chamber in the curing oven to curing temperature to cure the coating composition, and simultaneously flowing a stream of air through the respective extraction chamber to capture volatile emissions from the volatile materials in the air stream during the curing process; simultaneously flowing the respective stream of air out of the curing oven and chilling the stream to condense the volatile emissions from each of the compositions to a collectable form; determining the quantity of the emitted product from each of the compositions; and comparing the quantity of emitted product from each of the compositions to determine the composition

  • Patent number: 5270416
    Abstract: Thermosetting powder coating compositions are produced based on a low molecular weight glycidyl functional copolymer produced by solvent polymerization of ethylenic monomers in an organic solvent polymerization medium containing at least 15% by weight organic solvent based on the weight of solvent and monomers copolymerized, where the ethylenic monomers copolymerized comprise on a weight basis between about 15% and 35% glycidyl methacrylate, between about 5% and 60% methyl methacrylate, between about 2% and 15% butyl methacrylate, and between about 5% and 50% styrene, to produce glycidyl functional copolymer having a melt viscosity between 150 and 400 poise and a Tg between 80.degree. C. and 100.degree. C., where the copolymer is coreactive with carboxyl functional crosslinking compounds.
