US Patent:

6785512, Aug 31, 2004

Filed:

Nov 7, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/706699

Inventors:

Al Messano - Harrington Park NJ 07640
Alan Ross - Norwood NJ 06748

International Classification:

H04B 100

US Classification:

455 631, 455106, 455300, 455301, 174 35 R

Abstract:

The invention relates to a method of rendering telecommunication devices ineffective by creating a substantially radio frequency radiation-free environment. An interference generating pattern is provided adjacent the environment in a position between the environment and a source of radio frequency radiation signals so as to substantially reduce, or interfere with such signals thus preventing typical operation of the telecommunications devices therein. Preferably, the interference generating pattern is provided by applying silicon carbide as a coating or as part of a building material onto a structure to reduce attenuation by at least 20 to 50 decibels. Other aspects of the invention include the building materials that have the interference generating pattern associated therewith and the substantially radio frequency radiation-free environments that are created according to the methods disclosed herein.

International Classification:

H04B 1/00
H04B 15/00

US Classification:

455 631, 455106, 455300, 455301, 174377, 174395, 4282974, 4282987, 4282994, 442 59, 442117

Abstract:

The invention relates to a method of rendering telecommunication devices ineffective, by creating a substantially radio frequency radiation-free environment by providing an interference generating pattern (IGP) adjacent to the environment in a position between the environment and a source of radio frequency radiation signals so as to substantially reduce, or interfere with such signals thus preventing typical operation of the wireless telecommunications devices. The IGP is generally one that is non-conductive and is or includes a diffraction grating. The IGP is positioned adjacent the environment between the environment and a source of radio frequency radiation signals. Preferably, the IGP is provided as a support member configured in the shape of a diffraction grating, and includes a paint or coating of a non-conductive material having a high dielectric constant thereon.

Appl. No.:

13/455843

Inventors:

Alan S. Ross - Boynton Beach FL, US

Assignee:

KOP-COAT, INC. - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

B27K 3/50
C09D 5/00

US Classification:

428541, 427393, 427317, 10628711, 10628713, 1062872, 10628723, 10628729, 1062873, 10628724, 10628725

Abstract:

A solution and method of treating wood to resist discoloration of the wood and the treated wood employ a polydentate monoamino carboxylic acid and/or a diakyl diphosphonic acid. The invention resists discoloration which is believed to be caused by the mobility of organic based chromophoric molecules within the wood which migrate toward the surface of the wood. Among uses of the invention, it is particularly helpful in effecting resistance to discoloration of wood being treated with wood preservatives, stains and coatings. In another embodiment, ammonium pentaborate may be employed to resist discoloration.

Appl. No.:

6/925712

Inventors:

Alan Ross - Plainview NY

Assignee:

Domain Systems, Inc. - East Farmingdale NY

International Classification:

H04M 124

US Classification:

379 22

Abstract:

An improved remote test access system (100) for remotely testing an accessed telephone line (T/R) with any conventional telephone test set (102) without introducing any errors or hits to the line (T/R), uses a fixed reference delay (110, 112) which is always in the signal path and a variable delay (120, 122) which is in the test path and is varied so that the sum of the variable delay (120, 122) and the test set (102) delay equals the fixed reference delay (110, 112).

US Classification:

324539

Abstract:

A method and apparatus (3, 60, 202, 300) for measuring the dynamic, or alternating current, and static, or direct current, characteristics of a cable pair (2, 10, 24, 133) from one end, the local end, by utilizing an element (1, 19, 20) possessing known non-linear electrical characteristics connected across the other end, the remote end, together with methods and apparatus (30, 111) for connecting the non-linear element (1) across the remote end of the cable pair (2, 10, 24, 133) and disconnecting the non-linear element 11) by means of electrical voltages impressed across the cable pair (2, 10, 24, 133) at the local end. In the method and system of the present invention, the near end test set (3, 60, 202, 300) is electrically transposed to the far end of the cable pair (2, 10, 24, 133) making it appear, to be at the far end during the test while, physically remaining at the near end. The non-linear element (1), in its non-linear region, when suitably excited by two or more alternating signals of different frequencies ( 4, 12, 13, 41, 42, 113, 114), produces additional frequencies which travel back from the far end to the near end of the cable pair (2, 10, 24, 133) and are modified by the characteristics of the cable pair (2, 10, 24, 133). By selecting specific excitation frequencies and measuring the characteristics of the additional frequencies returned (6, 22, 52, 200), the characteristics of the cable (2, 10, 24, 133) can be deduced.
