Abstract: A cleaning apparatus is provided to clean a sophisticated electric device. The apparatus has cleaning units and each of the cleaning units has a cambered top. Thus, coordinated with an actuating device, a sophisticated electric device can be cleaned by using the cleaning apparatus with cleaning units having cambered tops.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for a wireless communication between a base station and at least one mobile station. The method includes receiving a request for a data rate from the mobile station on a reverse link channel to the base station. The method further includes, in response to the request, skipping a first slot after a delay for a portion of a slot on a forward link transmission before transmitting a data packet in a second slot. By beginning the forward link transmission at the start of the second slot, for example, a software module may cause the base station to skip a slot immediately after the half slot delay. This additional delay of one slot or a portion of the slot may expand radius of a cell for a wireless communication between the base station and the mobile station in a relatively high-speed wireless data network.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of wireless communication using a mobile unit and first and second base stations. The method includes receiving, from the second base station, a notification of a switch of the first base station to the second base station. The method also includes providing at least one message to the second base station in response to receiving the notification.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus that schedules broadcast short message service (BSMS) messages in a manner that reduces the adverse impact on voice quality and system capacity, attributable to the transmission of the BSMS messages, in a wireless telecommunications system. The method and apparatus utilize a quality of service (QoS) based broadcast message scheduler to negotiate and schedule the transmission times of BSMS messages to the individual users in the system. The quality of service (QoS) based broadcast message scheduler also allows a user to tradeoff voice quality for broadcast capacity.
