20140013506 | Sleeping Bag - A sleeping bag constructed such that its outer circumference is greater than its inner circumference includes additional integrated protuberances, or space fillers, that are added to the interior lining of the sleeping bag to fill-in around the sleeper's body. Making the circumference of the outside of the bag greater than the inside maintains the thickness of the insulation in selected areas. To maintain insulation thickness at other locations around the sleeper's body, the insulation-containing space fillers are incorporated into the interior of the bag and expand under the influence of the insulation to fill-in around the sleeper for reducing the internal volume of the bag. This construction can be carried the length of the sleeping bag. | 01-16-2014 |
20140102496 | Tent - A tent constructed such that it incorporates a light-weight, single walled, low emissivity fabric or film canopy. In the case of the polymer film canopy, the canopy may be assembled from flat or molded film segments/sections. The light-weight canopy materials may incorporate a grid of reinforcing fibers, wherein the reinforcing fibers are laminated into/onto the film during manufacture of the film/fabric. The light-weight canopy materials, either with or without a grid of laminated reinforcing fibers, may also incorporate additional continuous reinforcing fibers added to the canopy materials during the tent manufacturing process by bonding along the lines of principal stress/load. The possibility of including the continuous fibers along the principal lines of stress/load during the laminating process is also addressed. | 04-17-2014 |

20090316766 | METHOD OF DETERMINING A CHANNEL QUALITY AND MODEM - Data transmission is disclosed over a transmission channel that is subject to narrowband interferers. An increased overall bit or data transmission rate is achieved by an exemplary method of determining a channel capacity of plural sub-channels of the transmission channel based on a net background noise power estimation. The net background noise power contains only white noise-like contributions and excludes, to a reasonable extent, noise contributions or signal power from narrowband interferers. Hence, the net background noise power can be reduced. For example, an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) signal code construction or bit allocation scheme can be chosen that provides for optimized data transmission at a data rate that approximates or approaches the more realistic channel capacity of an individual sub-channel, resulting in an increased overall bit or data transmission rate. | 12-24-2009 |
20100054314 | INITIALIZATION OF AND MODEM FOR AN OFDM DATA TRANSMISSION - A method and modem are provided for obtaining an optimized efficiency of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) data transmission, such as for power line communication, for example. The length or duration of a guard interval or cyclic prefix in an OFDM symbol is newly selected at each start-up of a modem while initializing or preparing the OFDM data transmission. The length of the guard interval can be given by the number of samples in a time-discrete representation, and the value of such number of samples that is retained for the subsequent data transmission can be selected from a plurality of pre-determined possibilities based on an evaluation of a channel quality of a communication channel including a physical line to which the modem is connected. Hence, the selected value depends on actual transmission conditions, and the optimization potential offered by a more flexible handling of system parameters is exploited to meet changing conditions on the physical line. | 03-04-2010 |
20130215765 | UTILITY COMMUNICATION METHOD AND SYSTEM - Exemplary embodiments are directed to use of transparent transmission of teleprotection commands in the form of GOOSE or GSSE messages, as defined by the Generic Substation Event class model by the standard IEC 61850, between substations combined with Channel Supervision and Monitoring equivalent to CSM offered by known teleprotection equipment. This approach avoids the disadvantage of non-transparent transmission when using the gateway approach and of the lack of the CSM functionality when using the tunnelling approach. | 08-22-2013 |
