Alexander Brophy, Youghai IE

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110143688CALIBRATION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CALIBRATING A COMMUNICATIONS TERMINAL - A calibration apparatus for calibrating a communications terminal comprises a data store arranged to store amplifier unspecific power control data, and a processing resource arranged to receive a first indication of a first desired output power level and a second indication of a second desired output power level. The processing resource retrieves from the data store a first amplifier unspecific value associated with the first desired output power level and a second amplifier unspecific value associated with the second desired output power level. An amplifier is operably coupled to the processing resource and arranged to generate a first output signal and a second output signal corresponding to the first and second retrieved values. The processing resource is arranged to receive a first measured value and a second measured value. Also, the processing resource is arranged to support an interpolator for performing an interpolation using the first and second measured values.06-16-2011

20080265041Bar code blocking system - A system and apparatus for ensuring a proper bar code scan on a multi-package of containers includes overcoating bar codes on each respective container with a dye and applying a unitizing carrier to the containers. The containers may also be oriented so that a bar code on each container is not readable by a bar code scanner.10-30-2008

David Brophy, Beaumaris AU

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090089127Techniques for utilizing decision criteria in a communication plan - Techniques are presented for utilizing decision criteria within a communication plan. As a communication plan is processed a new decision step may be dynamically added to the processing. The new decision step breaks a set of incoming leads into a plurality of different customer groups. Each group may then be dynamically assigned to one or more actions within the communication plan.04-02-2009
