US Patent:

39954056, Dec 7, 1976

Filed:

Jun 25, 1975

Appl. No.:

5/590390

Inventors:

Thomas R. Peterson - Spring Lake MI

Assignee:

Structural Concepts Corporation - Spring Lake MI

International Classification:

E04C 200

US Classification:

52627

Abstract:

A two-piece panel molding having an L-shaped base which is attached to a support through a foamed adhesive tape. The base has an upright retaining flange at one side to abut a marginal facing edge on a panel and a slot at an opposite side. The thickness of the base is substantial to comfortably accommodate the slot and to provide rigid support therefor. A plurality of upwardly opening channels are formed in the base. A retainer has a panel retaining means to abut an opposite facing edge of the panel and has a locking flange which fits within the slot of the base. Means, for example, complementary serrated edges in the locking flange and the slot, retain the locking flange adjustably within the slot. The panel engaging retaining means can comprise a single flange to retain a thick panel or a lateral web with one or more depending flanges to retain thinner panels.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed and include receiving, with a peripheral device, a message packet from a portable device, the message packet including an authenticated packet with a de-whitened tone byte inserted therein. The portable device generates first message authentication code (MAC) bytes based on a shared secret key and generates the authenticated packet based on the first MAC bytes, first nonce bytes, and a message byte. The peripheral device validates the message packet in response to determining that the first MAC bytes match second MAC bytes and that the first nonce bytes match second nonce bytes. The peripheral device generates a reconstructed message packet in response to validating the message packet by removing the de-whitened tone byte from the authenticated packet. The communication gateway establishes a communication link between the portable device and the communication gateway in response to receiving the reconstructed message packet.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed and include a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a nontransitory computer-readable medium. The instructions include generating first message authentication code (MAC) bytes based on a shared secret key. The instructions include generating first nonce bytes and an authenticated packet based on the first MAC bytes, the first nonce bytes, and a message byte. The instructions include generating a de-whitened tone byte based on the shared secret key. The instructions include generating a message packet that includes the authenticated packet and the de-whitened tone byte. Generating the message packet includes pseudo-randomly identifying a first location of the authenticated packet and inserting the de-whitened tone byte at the first location. The instructions include transmitting the message packet to the peripheral device and establishing the communication link between a portable device and a peripheral device in response to the peripheral device validating the message packet.

G01S 3/04

Abstract:

Methods and systems are disclosed and include receiving a signal via a first communication channel at a plurality of azimuth angles. The method includes determining a plurality of first communication channel phase angle differences between a pair of antennas. The method includes receiving a second signal via a second communication channel and at the plurality of azimuth angles. The method includes determining a plurality of second communication channel phase angle differences between the pair of antennas that each correspond to one of the plurality of azimuth angles. The method includes generating a first reference curve based on the plurality of first communication channel phase angle differences. The method includes generating a second reference curve based on the plurality of second communication channel phase angle differences. The method also includes generating a calibration curve that is based on an interpolation of the first reference curve and the second reference curve.
