A system and method that provides radio field strength modeling useful for determining cellular telephone site coverage. The system and method automate sampling procedures, collecting data at various monitoring points within a radio propagation coverage area. The collected data is then interpolated and spurious samples are eliminated. The resultant radio field strength data and respective location data is then analyzed using either a modified Newton second order gradient or a pseudo-exhaustive search method to modeling the field strength for convex and non-convex models, respectively. An iterative approach is used to facilitate the use of model constraints and to mitigate calibration errors attributable to highly correlated variables. For pseudo-exhaustive searches, noise is introduced into the data analysis routines to avoid convergence on local minimum which would otherwise inhibit convergence towards global solutions.

Abstract:
A vibration test fixture assembly for releasably securing a test object to the top surface of a sliptable and for rotatably supporting the test object so that the test object can be repositioned between vibration tests without detaching the test object from the fixture. The assembly comprises a bottom plate, a top plate positioned on top of the bottom plate, and a plurality of spring-loaded bearing assemblies between the top and bottom plates for permitting the top plate to rotate relative to the bottom plate except when a downward force of sufficient magnitude to overcome the spring bias of the bearing assemblies is applied to the top plate. The assembly also comprises a plurality of clamps positioned adjacent the top plate for applying a downward force to the top plate sufficient to overcome the spring bias of the bearing assemblies and cause the top plate to engage the bottom plate. The test object is secured to the top plate and the bottom plate is secured to the top surface of a sliptable.
An active vibration isolation system which has three groups of airbag springs for supporting a load and isolating the load from vibration, together with a servo-valve system for admitting pressurized air to or exhausting pressurized air from each group of the airbag springs, and a damping system for damping movement of the load. The damping system comprises a plurality of pairs of shock absorbers which are mounted in parallel with and adjacent to the airbag springs. The shock absorbers are arranged so as to provide damping for each of the groups of airbag springs in three mutually-orthogonal directions.
ip, a college professor, filed a lawsuit to remove Mr. Marshall as her guardian. He had turned a blind eye to his mother, Philip Marshall alleged, intentionally and repeatedly ignoring her health, safety, personal and household needs, while enriching himself with millions of dollars. Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state and national security adviser, and David Rockefeller, the banker and grandson of industrialist John D. Rockefeller, filed affidavits in support of Philip Marshalls claims. In later proceedings, actress Whoopi Goldberg, a friend of Anthony Marshalls,
