20130182748 | Method and Apparatus for Radio Synchronization Detection in a Rake Receiver - Enhanced reception in a communication system is achieved by performing radio synchronization (SYNC) detection after multipath signal components are combined via a Rake combiner. In a communication system comprising a transmitter and a receiver, plural multipath signal components of a signal transmitted by the transmitter are received by the receiver. The plural multipath signal components are correlated with a known spreading code (e.g. a PN code). The correlated multipath signals are analyzed to identify plural correlation peaks and those correlation peaks that exceed a multipath threshold are selected. The selected correlation peaks are combined (i.e., coherently combined) to produce a combined signal. A synchronization event is declared when the combined signal exceeds an adjusted synchronization threshold and the combined signal is then decoded. | 07-18-2013 |

20120102877 | PACKAGING MACHINE - A packaging machine of the type that is used to hand-wrap a package with a stretchable film that is heat-fused/sealed. The machine includes a supply of film for wrapping a package and a hot plate mechanism for heat fusing the film after the package is wrapped. The hot plate mechanism includes a fever arm that moves a sealing platform from a raised position to a lowered, heat sealing position when the package is placed on the platform. A control circuit energizes a heating element forming part of the sealing platform and causes it to reach a desired heating temperature in 2 to 4 seconds, whereby fusing of the sealing film is achieved. An interval timer is used to control a signaling device such as a light to Indicate the machine is in a heating cycle. A separate timer, in conjunction with a temperature sensing thermistor, controls a length of time the heating element is energized and terminates power to the heating element prior to the end of a sealing Interval if a predetermined temperature is exceeded. The sealing intervals are selectable by the operator using a multi-positioned switch which connects selected timing resistors to the interval timers. Power to the heating element is only delivered to the heating element during a heating cycle, thus conserving electrical power, | 05-03-2012 |
20140020330 | PACKAGING MACHINE - A packaging machine including a supply of film for wrapping a package and a hot plate for heat fusing the film of a wrapped package. Power to the heating element is only delivered to the element during a heating cycle, thus conserving electrical power. A photo eye senses the package and a control circuit energizes the heating element the element reaches a desired heating temperature in 2 to 4 seconds. The frame of the machine includes a lower base member to which an upper base plate, preferably formed from a continuous sheet, is rigidly attached. The upper plate includes a support surface for the hot plate, a vertical wall to which the photo eye is attached that is interconnected with the support surface by a curved transition surface.
