    摘要: A signal collection system (SCS) is used in a wireless location system that determines the geographical locations of mobile wireless transmitters. The SCS includes a first receiver module, a first digital signal processing (DSP) module, a control and communications module, a timing signal generator including an enhanced GPS receiver, and a bus coupling the DSP module to the communications and control module. The receiver module receives RF signals from the mobile transmitters via a plurality of antennas and digitizes said RF signals, and provides digitized RF data to the first DSP module.

    摘要: The accuracy of the location estimate of a Wireless Location System is dependent, in part, upon both the transmitted power of the wireless transmitter and the length in time of the transmission from the wireless transmitter. In general, higher power transmissions and transmissions of greater transmission length can be located with better accuracy by the Wireless Location System than lower power and shorter transmissions. Wireless communications systems generally limit the transmit power and transmission length of wireless transmitters in order to minimize interference within the communications system and to maximize the potential capacity of the system. The inventive method disclosed herein meets the conflicting needs of both systems by enabling the wireless communications system to minimize transmit power and length while enabling improved location accuracy for certain types of calls, such as wireless 9-1-1 calls. The method comprises the following steps: a wireless transmitter receives normal transmission parameters from a base station; the user of the wireless transmitter initiates a call on the wireless transmitter by dialing a sequence of digits and pressing “SEND” or “YES”; a processor within the wireless transmitter compares the dialed sequence of digits with one or more trigger events stored within the wireless transmitter; if the dialed sequence of digits does not match the trigger event, then the wireless transmitter uses the normal transmission parameters in making the call; and if the dialed sequence of digits matches the trigger event, then the wireless transmitter uses a modified transmission sequence.

    摘要: A signal collection system (SCS) for use in a Wireless Location System is disclosed. The SCS performs wideband energy detection and reporting at the front end of the SCS receiver. Other aspects of the SCS include a protocol for efficiently setting levels for wideband energy detection, DSP sharing within an SCS, and recursive location processing using progressively greater bandwidth from temporarily stored wideband data. The disclosed SCS includes antennas, a wideband receiver, a DSP for wideband energy detection, a memory for temporarily storing digital samples of received signals, a digital drop receiver, demodulation and normalization processors, and a communications processor. The wideband energy detection and the demodulation and normalization processors are implemented with DSP's that detect energy in a particular band, demodulate selected signals, and extract signals of interest for forwarding. The wideband energy detection unit determines the presence of a transmitted signal in the control channels monitored by the SCS. The wideband energy detection involves forming a map of the channel spectrum, and the map is used to determine when to demodulate signals within selected channels.

    摘要: A method is provided for sensing and measuring an electrical current. The current to be measured is applied to a deflectable member in a sensing module in the presence of a magnetic field. Deflection of the member is detected as an indication of the current. A nulling current may be applied to one or more additional deflectable members mechanically linked to the deflectable member. Feedback or readout signals indicative of deflection of the members are monitored. The nulling current is modulated to drive the feedback signals to a desired level. The nulling current value is converted to a value representative of the current to be measured.

    摘要: An expanded content label (ECL) having a segmented base label that allows the label to conform to a curved surface. A booklet and covering overlaminate are secured to the spaced-apart segments of the base to interconnect the segments. The gap between the segments enhances the ability of the label to flex and move along a supporting curved surface to conform to the surface without buckling or wrinkling. The label is produced by die cutting a web to form a segmented base label, securing a booklet to the segmented base label, and optionally securing an overlaminate to the booklet. At least one of the booklet and the overlaminate bridge the segments of the base label. In an alternative embodiment, the overlaminate is eliminated and the booklet includes a coversheet that extends across the gap between the base label segments.

    摘要: A switching station for a people mover rotary guideway switch. The switching station routes a transit car from an entry guideway path to either of two exit guideway paths. The station includes a guideway section structured at each of its entry and exit points to provide a predetermined guideway configuration including a pair of spaced tire running surfaces for transit cars. The guideway section has an elongated switch pit located under a reference plane through the tire running services that extends longitudinally along and between the tire running services. An elongated rotary switch frame is disposed in the switch pit and assembled with the guideway section for alignment with the guideway paths. The frame is provided with guidebeam, electric rail and tire path structure on opposite sides of the frame which are compatible with the guideway configuration to route a car from the entry path to the first and second exit paths, respectively. The switch frame has one side aligned with the entry guideway path and the first exit guideway path in a first frame position with its other side facing downwardly and stored vertically below the reference plane. The switch frame has its other side aligned with the entry guideway path and second exit guideway path in a second frame position with its one side facing downwardly and stored vertically below the reference plane.
