International Classification:

H04Q 7/216

US Classification:

370335, 455524

Abstract:

The present invention provides a base station architecture that is modular in configuration, lowering the initial cost of implementing a new CDMA telecommunication system for a defined geographical region while allowing for future capacity. The scalable architecture is assembled from a digital base station unit that is configured to support a plurality of simultaneous wireless calls connecting to a conventional public switched telephone network. For initial startup, two base station units are deployed for redundancy in case of a single failure. Additional base station units may be added when the need arises for extra traffic capacity. If sectorization is required, the base station units may be directionally oriented. Coupled to and remote from each base station unit are two amplified antenna modules that contain an omni-directional or an external directional antenna, a high power RF amplifier for transmitted frequencies and a low noise amplifier for received frequencies. A separate power supply module capable of supporting two base station units provides continued service in the event of a mains power outage.

Abstract:

A disposable net assembly is provided for a trap for collecting floatable debris in a waterway or combined sewer system. The net assembly includes a knitted bag-shaped mesh net having a frame surrounding the mouth of the net with the net secured around its rim to the frame. The net may be formed of an inner layer and an outer layer of mesh with the openings of the inner layer being substantially larger than the openings of the outer layer. The frame may be formed of a plastic molded material having side members tapered in the vertical direction to facilitate the changing of the netting assemblies and tapered in the downstream direction to lock into place under the force of the flow. Several embodiments of the frame members have projections thereon which cooperate with a clamping element to hold the net to the frame. Some embodiments of the members have parts that lock together with a post and hole construction while others employ a tension band to clamp the net to the projections on the frame. The net is preferably secured around its rim to the frame, with the mouth of the net extending around the outside and upstream side of the frame and over the surface having the projections. The net is preferably formed of a high strength and high stretch yarn, with rolled sewn seams and having reinforcing on the seams and on high stress areas of the net.

International Classification:

US Classification:

210/747000, 210/170000

Abstract:

A floating system for collecting floatable debris is provided with curtains that direct the flow of water that contains floatables into the traps of the system while functioning as a pressure relief mechanism for the system which avoids placing excessive hydraulic forces on the system under extreme flow conditions. Inlet flow confining curtains have means for allowing the curtain to lift from the bottom of the waterbody as flow becomes progressively more extreme. The means may include patterns of weights in a series of normally horizontal pockets that are fabricated into the curtain at various distances below the water level that hang down to the bottom of the waterbody under normal conditions. The weights are graduated with the heaviest at the top and the lightest at the bottom. Alternatively, openings or windows are formed in the curtain and covered with mesh to allow flow through the windows while containing floatables larger than the size of the openings in the mesh. Also, a vertical corner of the curtain may have a triangular-shaped pucker pocket that extends from the surface of the water to the bottom of the curtains, which allows the two curtains to lift.

US Classification:

210 85

Abstract:

Apparatus for trapping and collecting debris including an in-line trap contained in a subterranean chamber having an inlet and an outlet for connection to an underground conduit such as a sewer or storm drain conduit. The trap comprises a net being closed on all sides except on an inlet side which faces the inlet to the chamber. The chamber is contained in a vault having a set of upper doors and the bag is attached to a frame structure having suitable supports which may be grasped such that the bag may be lifted upwardly through the doors for replacement. An overflow weir is provided for allow flow past the trap when the bag is full of debris. Sensing systems are further provided for detecting and signalling when the bag is full. A multi-bag system is also disclosed in which at least two bags in parallel are provided such that one bag may accommodate overflow when the other is being serviced.
