Abstract: A virtual FDD base station comprises two base station sub-units each of which comprise a base station transmitter and a base station receiver. The first base station sub-unit transmits base-to-user messages to user stations only during a first half of a repeating time frame, and receives user-to-base messages from the user stations only during a second half of the time frame. The second base station sub-unit is preferably collocated with the first base station sub-unit and synchronized thereto, and transmits base-to-user messages to user stations only during half of the time frame, while receiving user-to-base messages from the user stations only during the other half of the time frame. Duplex communication channels are preferably defined by correlating a base transmit time slot with a user transmit time slot, which are separated by a sufficient amount of time to allow transmit/receive switching by a user station.

Abstract: In pursuit of developing a means for mounting a pedestal mounted CRT in a rack mounted application in a test console, it was necessary to develop a compact means of securing the CRT plastic envelope to a perforated slidable shelf in the test console. Since the vertical space was critical, it was determined that the swivel base could be discarded and replaced by a unique “Blind Capture Mounting Stud” and a “Mounting Spacer”.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) which is distinctly characterized by extremely rapid growth rate, very strong central stem tendency, and excellent straightness, thereby producing excellent timber qualities. The new variety has good nut bearing qualities. Nut crops are annual. This new variety of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) was discovered by the applicant near South Raub, Tippecanoe County, Ind. in a black walnut planting of seedling progeny from a previously selected tree for outstanding timber producing potential. This selection has been designated as BW502, a seedling progeny of patented Purdue-1 (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,543) in records maintained by the applicant on the performance of the selection and grafts made from the selection and will be known henceforth as ‘Beineke 6.
