Abstract: A method of checking messages from a network of communication sources includes initially testing the signal strength of a plurality of communication sources, storing the identity of the communication sources with the two strongest signals, and alternatively entering a sleep mode and a wake-up mode, the wake-up mode synchronized to the communication source with the strongest signal. The method further includes testing the signal strength of one additional communication source, switching synchronization to the additional communication source if said source presents a signal stronger than the signal of a stored communication source with the strongest signal, and replacing the identity of any stored communication source if an additional communication sources tested in sequence presents a signal stronger than the signal of said stored communication source.

Abstract: An RF receiver comprises a signal processor arranged to perform a method of decoding data contained within a signal that comprises a set of slots, at least one said slot comprising a preamble portion and a payload portion and being transmitted at a predetermined transmission frequency. The signal processor is arranged to perform a first process to derive timing data from the preamble portion and perform a second process to extract information from the payload portion, the second process being triggered from said timing data derived from the first process. The preamble portion comprises at least a first sequence of data and a second sequence of data, and the second sequence is the inverse of the first sequence. In preferred embodiments the first process comprises identifying a transition between said first and second sequences of data and deriving said timing data from the identified transition.

Abstract: The data transmitted from a first station is transmitted at a first data rate. The data transmitted from a second station is transmitted at a second data rate. The second data rate is lower than the first data rate. In view of both the difference in data rates and the synchronisation between radio stations, a separate synchronisation word is not required to be sent from the second station to the first station on the uplink portion; instead, and because the uplink slots of a given frame are synchronised between transceiving stations, the start of the uplink payload slot can comprise signalling information which simply acts to signify the start of transmission of uplink data from the second station.

Abstract translation: 以第一数据速率发送从第一站发送的数据。 以第二数据速率发送从第二站发送的数据。 第二数据速率低于第一数据速率。 考虑到数据速率的差异和无线电台之间的同步，不需要单独的同步字从第二站发送到上行链路部分上的第一站; 相反，由于给定帧的上行链路时隙在收发站之间同步，所以上行链路有效载荷时隙的开始可以包括简单地用于表示来自第二站的上行链路数据的传输开始的信令信息。

Abstract: A portable texturing system is disclosed which includes a small spray unit and a source of portable compressed air which may simply be a small tank which the workman may wear on a belt or shoulder harness. The spray unit includes a reservoir for holding a charge of texturizing mixture and a cap assembly incorporating a mixer/spray mechanism. In use, the cap is positioned below the reservoir such that the texturizing mixture can flow by gravity and suction to the spray mechanism. The cap assembly includes a quick connect coupling and a valve for receiving and controlling air from the supply. A discharge nozzle is provided for directing the compressed air/texturizer mixture toward a wall area to be texturized. A mixing region within the cap assembly permits the texturizing mixture to be entrained with a stream of compressed air and discharged from the nozzle whenever the valve is actuated. Adjustment structure for regulating the rate at which the texturizing material is entrained is provided in the mixing region and, in some embodiments, is adjustable as by a mechanism which provides adjustment to the area available for the texturizing material to enter the discharge nozzle. In one particularly simple and reliable embodiment, the area is established by the provision of a pair of fixed size apertures in the wall of a tube which also serves as the discharge nozzle.
