Filed:

Nov 25, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/626105

Inventors:

Mark Allen Kenkel - Schaumburg IL, US
Christopher M. Meyer - Grayslake IL, US

Assignee:

Shure Incorporated - Niles IL

International Classification:

H04L 12/28
H04W 4/00

US Classification:

370254, 370329

Abstract:

A RF distribution system determines its configuration and verifies the consistency of the determined configuration. Based on a device identifier, the RF distribution system may individually instruct each RF component to provide a generated signal. Consequently, a first RF component may modulate a signal on a first port. If a second RF component detects a modulated signal on a second port, then the RF distribution system deems that the two RF components are connected together. The procedure may be repeated for the remaining RF components so that the RF configuration of the RF distribution system may be determined. The determined RF configuration may be further verified for operational consistency. The RF distribution system may also scan a RF spectrum, determine a set of frequencies that provides RF compatibility with the RF distribution system based on the scanning, and configure the RF components in accordance with the set of frequencies.

International Classification:

G01M 3/28
F17D 5/02
G01M 3/22

Abstract:

A method for testing a device under test includes the steps of applying a vacuum to an interior of the device under test. Pressurizing a predetermined portion on an exterior of the device under test with Helium to detect a potential pressure leak. Utilizing a large pressure differential during the exterior testing of the device under test as compared to the vacuum applied during to the interior of the device under test. Detecting a potential leak in the device under test while leaving no residual Helium in a wetted area of the device under test.

International Classification:

B22F 3/105
B22F 3/24
B23P 9/00

Abstract:

Examples for refining the microstructure of metallic materials used for additive manufacturing are described herein. An example can involve generating a first layer of an integral object by heating a metallic material to a molten state such that the metallic material includes a solid-liquid interface. The example can further involve applying an electromagnetic field or vibrations to the metallic material of the first layer. In some instances, the electromagnetic fields or vibrations perturb the first layer of metallic material causing nucleation sites to form at the solid-liquid interface of the metallic material in the molten state. The example also includes generating a second layer coupled to the first layer of the integral object. Generating the second layer increases a number of nucleation sites at the solid-liquid interface of the metallic material in the molten state. Each nucleation site can grows a crystal at a spatially-random orientation.

Abstract:

Example implementations relate to techniques for refining the microstructure of metallic materials used for additive manufacturing. An example can involve generating a first layer of an integral object using a material with grains structured in a first arrangement. After a threshold duration occurs since generating the first layer, the example can involve applying an external force to the first layer to cause deformations in the first arrangement of grains. The example can further involve generating a second layer coupled to the first layer of the integral object to form a portion of the integral object. Generating the second layer of the integral object causes the material of the first layer to recrystallize new grains to replace grains proximate the deformations. The grains that result from recrystallization are structured in new arrangement that improves the physical and mechanical properties of the layer and subsequent layers collective.

Abstract:

System and methods for detecting and monitoring power characteristics amongst connected devices in a multi-device system, such as a conferencing system, are disclosed. The system and methods sense power characteristics at various points within the system, such as at ports of the host and client devices. The hosts and client devices can include control units and conferencing units (e.g., microphones) in conferencing applications. The power characteristics can be communicated to the host device for further treatment, such as monitoring, processing and outputting data to allow determination of conditions associated with the power distribution of the system.
