摘要： An apparatus and method for synchronization between uncoordinated Time Division Duplex (TDD) communication networks includes a first step (300) of measuring an interference level on channels available to a base station. A next step (302) includes choosing the channel having the lowest interference level. A next step (304) includes determining that the interference is from a base station. A next step (306) includes calculating an interference profile over the frame cycle. A next step (308) includes establishing a peak interference level. A next step (310) includes aligning the base station frame timing in response to the peak interference level.

摘要： There is disclosed, a mobile station, and a method for candidate cell evaluation in a fast moving environment. The method includes receiving a plurality of transmissions from a plurality of candidate cells, where each of the plurality of transmissions corresponds to one of the plurality candidate cells. The method further includes measuring signal strengths of the plurality of transmissions and determining change in the signal strengths of the plurality of transmissions. The method further includes calculating a weighting factor corresponding to the plurality of candidate cells based on the measured signal strengths, the change in the signal strength, and a Doppler and assigning priority levels to the plurality of candidate cells based on the calculated weighting factor.

摘要： A swiveling strap extension device and method of use is operable with an instrument strap. The extension device comprises a flat, elongated longitudinal member having an instrument end that attaches to an instrument. The instrument end has size-adjustable eyelets that fasten to the instrument at mount buttons. The swivel end has a terminus section and a body section. The terminus section attaches to a free end of the instrument strap. A swivel-coupling connects the terminus and body sections. The swivel coupling swivels up to 360°, allowing the terminus section to rotate correspondingly. The swivel-coupling is disposed at a fixed length from the instrument. The fixed length is defined as the distance from the eyelets to the terminus section of the swivel end. The fixed length enables the swivel-coupling to be disposed approximately in an open space that forms between the instrument and the back of an instrument operator.

摘要： A charge-splitting device and method include a plurality of charge cells coupled to receive a charge in response to being simultaneously clocked into a charge receiving state by an applied clock signal. The received charge is split into predetermined charge portions among the plurality of charge cells in proportions dependent upon the total number of cells, their relative capacitance and the magnitude and timing of the applied clock signal. The charge portions are again split and selectively summed to obtain highly accurate charge splitting ratios.
