| 20100246147 | Microphonics Suppression in High-Speed Communications Systems - One design aspect in electronic systems, such as communication systems, is noise suppression. More particularly, this relates to microphonics suppression in high-speed communication systems, such as microwave wireless radio systems. The present invention contemplates system design for substantially eliminating microphonic behavior created by mechanical stimulus such as vibrations and the drum effect. A preferred approach includes isolating the motherboard from its mounting harnesses (mechanical interconnection) and adding an echo damping and shock absorption pad to the underside of the enclosure cover to stiffen the enclosure cover while maintaining its light weight. Preferably also, this approach isolates the entire motherboard rather than a particular component. A design using this approach is particularly useful in an outdoor unit (ODU) of a split-mount microwave radio system. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20100156998 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRINTING - Methods and apparatus for printing are described. A first mode of printing includes actuating a set of two or more actuators configured to drive printing fluid ejection from a corresponding set of two or more nozzles.

The printing fluid ejected from the set of two or more nozzles represents a single pixel of an image being printed. A second mode of printing is in response to determining that a nozzle in the set of nozzles is operating defectively, and includes adjusting the one or more drive signals to the one or more remaining nozzles in the set such that the volume of printing fluid ejected from the remaining nozzles compensates for a lack of printing fluid ejected from the defective nozzle. | 06-24-2010 |
