An electronic device employs a method and apparatus for shielding an electrical circuit (101) that is disposed on a substrate (120). A base member (103) that includes a top portion (104) and a plurality of side portions (105) is electrically coupled to a receptacle area (121) of the substrate (120) such that the plurality of side portions (105) substantially encircle the electrical circuit (101). ...

Ultrasonic vibrations are employed for forming a cavity into which a prosthesis is implanted. This technique includes vibrating the prosthesis itself as it is inserted to enlarge the cavity and assure a tight fit.

A vehicle for transport, fork lift or delivery route operations, for example, includes on-board peripherals which are coupled through a Local Area Network (LAN) into a data system. A LAN data bus provides selective access to the peripherals or data devices such as, for example, a large area display, a keyboard, a printer and a data terminal. The data system controls or provides data on tasks execu...

A system and method adapted to provide microcellular Personal Communications Services (PCS) through the use of an improved Distributed Radio Port Controller (DRPC) architecture. The architecture achieves the desired handover with minimal impact on the existing embedded base of switches by generating new calls from target Radio Port Controllers (RPCs) through the switches to anchor RPCs and interna...

The objective of the invention is a method of achieving the uniform quality of water, in which water is fed to the network, having several water consumption points, network nodes (2-9, 11-21, 23 and 24), with a water pipe (34) in between, through which the water is fed from the feed pipe (21) to the water consumption points. The invention is characterized in that the water is circulated in the net...

A method for smelting reduction of iron ore comprises the steps of : preheating and prereducing iron ore ; charging said preheated and prereduced iron ore , carbonaceous material and flux into a smelting reduction furnace ; blowing oxygen gas through a top blow oxygen lance having decarburizing nozzles and post-combustion nozzles into said smelting reduction furnace, an end of said top blow oxygen...

A process is disclosed for re-alkalizing carbonated reinforced concrete. An electric current is impressed between adjacent areas of concrete, one of which has become carbonated with consequent loss of pH, and the other of which is adequately alkaline in pH. The impressed voltage causes a migration of hydroxyl ions from the higher pH region to the lower pH region, to effect an increase in pH of the...
