Patent number: 4630282Abstract: Ordinary digital data is reformed and time shifted such that it may be broadcast over a radio link which periodically shifts its frequency. The system of this invention utilizes timing information obtained from a pre-existing frequency-hopping radio link in conjunction with its own buffer and control circuitry to accurately time-position discrete digital data packets within those time bands of the radio transmission wherein the frequency is not changing from one frequency to another. In the drawing, T.sub.H1 is a very short duration pulse which commands the AM frequency--hopping system to shift frequencies. The time period necessary for the frequency hop operation to settle down and attain a stable frequency is represented by the interval between T.sub.H1 and T.sub.1. The actual reception of the uplink message occurs in the interval between T.sub.3 and T.sub.4 ; transmission of the downlink signal from the system occurs in the interval between T.sub.5 and T.sub.6. The interval between T.sub.4 and T.sub.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1984Date of Patent: December 16, 1986Assignee: McDonnell Douglas CorporationInventors: William A. Landers, Lynn J. Hawkey

Patent number: 3970540Abstract: A clamping device for use in an electroplating process is provided having a support with at least one object-engaging portion. At least one element is resiliently attached to the support with each element having an object-engaging portion facing a corresponding object-engaging portion on the support. The element object-engaging portion is resiliently biased toward its corresponding support object-engaging portion. A manually engageable means is attached to each element for separating the element object-engaging portion from its corresponding support object-engaging portion. When more than one element is used, each is individually movable by the manually engageable means. The corresponding object-engaging portions have object-engaging surfaces which are, respectively, in parallel planes. The corresponding object-engaging portions are skewed relative to one another.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 1975Date of Patent: July 20, 1976Assignee: The Mitchell-Bate CompanyInventor: William Lander McBain
