In an information access system, an active contactless information storage device senses a carrier of an RF signal at a first frequency in first predetermined periods occurring in a predetermined cycle and senses a carrier of an RF signal at a second frequency in second predetermined periods occurring in the predetermined cycle. When the storage device senses and detects a carrier of an RF signal at one of the first and second frequencies in a particular predetermined period, it receives further...

A system for controlling transceivers based on a location of the transceivers, as indicated by a location indicator, helps to reduce crosstalk interference in signals transmitted from central offices. The system utilizes a location indicator and logic. The location indicator is communicatively coupled to each of a plurality of transceivers and is indicative of whether the plurality of transceivers are located at an intermediate terminal or a central office. The logic is configured to control a p...

Generally, the network (100) includes a tower (112) having a tower-top (110) on which the antenna (114) is supported, a BTS (102) and a separate amplifier (124) on the tower-top near to the antenna, the amplifier in a communication path between the BTS and the antenna. In one embodiment, the network (100) further includes a backhaul (122) on the tower-top (11...

A radio-telephone system employing a manner of changing a channel and a privacy digital code and interstoring them between by wireless and a method of changing the privacy digital code. The radio-telephone system comprises a stationary apparatus 100 and a portable apparatus 200. The stationary apparatus 100 includes a base MPU 410 containing a ROM, a charging power supply and sensing circuit 450, a transmitting and receiving PLL circuit 420, a duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 430, a ...

A vertical rack-type spline-forming machine based on a novel slide base arrangement comprising a pair of vertical slide bases structurally joined by a symmetrically arranged set of tie bars. The structurally-joined vertical slide bases can be rested in an upright position on a non-structural space frame which provides improved access and lift capabilities to the vertical machine. The machine also includes a novel drive system using independent electric motors, one motor associated with each vert...

A diplexer contains a common terminal connected to an antenna, a first input/output terminal for inputting/outputting signals of a plurality of high frequency bands higher than a predetermined frequency, and a second input/output terminal for inputting/outputting signals of low frequency bands lower than the predetermined frequency. Between the common terminal and the first input/output terminal, a high pass filter and low trap circuits for attenuating the low frequency bands respectively are in...

An apparatus for producing precast concrete members which is efficient, mobile and cost saving, and comprises at least: a curing chamber having openings on opposite sides, each of which sides faces a respective concrete placing section; the curing chamber having a plurality of horizontal motion transferring means to support and transfer form members leaving predetermined distance apart, concrete placing sections in which necessary work for concrete placing is carried out, the placing sections ar...

A liquid crystal shutter system for selecting fields of a field-sequential image, by transmitting the field-sequential image, with a synchronization signal, to one or more remote liquid crystal cell shutter assemblies. Each shutter assembly transmits selected fields of the field-sequential image in response to a drive signal, and includes a drive circuit for receiving the synchronization signal and generating each drive signal in response to the synchronization signal so that each drive signal h...

This apparatus is fixed and connected by the same means (2) and it is housed in the space usually reserved for a light bulb or a cigar lighter; it is switched on and adjusted by means of collars (6, 7 and 8) or buttons situated on the body (1) next to the loudspeaker (5) or/and the display screen.
