  • Patent number: 9787333
    Abstract: A first set of subcarriers having signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values that exceed a target SNR value is identified at a transmitter. A second set of subcarriers having SNR values below the target SNR value is identified. Power is iteratively reallocated from the first and second set of subcarriers to a third set of subcarriers having SNR values below the target value but closer to the target SNR value than the second set of subcarriers.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150016375
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to transferring control of a frequency channel between wireless access points (WAP) according to a sequence where the frequency channel is part of an industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio band. Each of the WAPs transfers control of the same frequency channel according to a sequence. The transfer of control in the sequence occurs between adjacent WAPs, and the first and last WAPs in the sequence are adjacent to each other.

  • Patent number: 8182189
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a pro label book includes printing static indicia on a web of label material, applying an adhesive to each portion of the web of label material that will become a label page in a pro label book that is not the portion of the web of label material that will become a top page of a label book to be formed if the adhesive is applied to a top surface of the web of label material or a bottom page of a label book to be formed if the adhesive is applied to the bottom surface of the web of label material, printing variable information on the web of label material, sheeting the web of label material to form label pages, and batching the label pages together utilizing the applied adhesive. Certain embodiments include attaching one of a backer or a cover to the web of label material following the printing static indicia step.

  • Patent number: 7988145
    Abstract: A hold-down device is disclosed for holding down the leading edges of sheet materials, such as multiple-ply sheets or integrated forms, disposed in a tray of a printer in a horizontal or flat position prior to feeding the leading edge of the top sheet or integrated form into the printer feed mechanism. Because some sheet materials are prone to curling, which causes jamming in the feed mechanism or downstream in printing path within commonly used printers, the disclosed hold-down device maintains the leading edge of the top sheet in a flat or horizontal position so it can be reliably and evenly received in the feeder mechanism of the printer, thereby reducing the chances of jamming when sheet materials that are prone to curling, such as multiple-ply sheets or integrated forms, are being printed. The hold-down device includes a base with two ends. Each end may include a retainer or other means for detachably connecting the base to the paper tray of the printer.
