10 Jun 2000TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for controlling the environmental conditions within a predefined area based on a network user's preferences using a personal area network is provided, which includes at least one portable communication unit associated with the network user, and has stored therein the environmental preferences (e.g., preferred temperature settings, lighting and sound conditions, etc.) of the network users for a given area.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the environmental conditions within a predefined area based on a network user's preferences using a personal area network is provided. The personal area network includes at least one portable communication unit associated with a network user, and has stored therein the environmental preferences (e.g., preferred temperature settings, lighting and sound conditions, etc.) of the network user for a given area (e.g., a conference room of an office building). According to one embodiment, a controller detects the presence of each portable communication unit located within the predefined area and obtains each network user's preferences from their associated portable communication units. In one embodiment, the controller considers all of the preferences of the users present within the predefined area and formulates an optimal environmental condition setting based upon all the users' preference obtained. The controller then controls the environmental conditions within the predefined area accordingly.

30 Jun 1995TL;DR: In this paper, a communication system (100) employs a method (600) and apparatus (101) for conveying a communication signal between a communication unit (105) and a base site (101), that services a sectorized coverage area (103).
Abstract: A communication system (100) employs a method (600) and apparatus (101) for conveying a communication signal between a communication unit (105) and a base site (101) that services a sectorized coverage area (103). The communication unit (105) transmits an uplink communication signal (113) to the base site (101). The base site (101) receives (603) the uplink communication signal (113) and determines (605) an approximate location of the communication unit (101) within a first portion (111) of a sector (108) of the sectorized coverage area (103). A downlink communication signal is then transmitted (609, 613) to the communication unit (105) based on the approximate location of the communication unit (105) using an antenna structure that produces a beamwidth (117) narrower than an angular width of the sector (108).

08 Jul 2003TL;DR: In this article, the processor receives the signal and initiates an event based at least on the feature of the sensed characteristic as represented by the signal, which can include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: alerting the device user, transmitting a signal (e.g., an emergency call) to a remote communication device, re-sensing the characteristic or sensing another characteristic, and modifying a setting or profile of the device.
Abstract: A portable communication device (100) includes at least one sensing circuit (101) and a processor (104), and operates in accordance with a corresponding method of operation. The sensing circuit detects (205) either a characteristic of an external environment containing the portable communication device (e.g., a chemical in the air or acceleration of the device) or a characteristic of the portable communication device user (e.g., heart rate or blood sugar content), and generates a signal (207) representative of a feature of the sensed characteristic. The processor receives the signal and initiates an event based at least on the feature of the sensed characteristic as represented by the signal. Events include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: alerting the device user, transmitting a signal (e.g., an emergency call) to a remote communication device, re-sensing the characteristic or sensing another characteristic, and modifying a setting or profile of the device.

16 Apr 2001TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to remove a single monolayer at a time by inserting a first gas to form a reaction layer on the silicon oxide and then the reaction layer is activated by either another gas or heat.
Abstract: Highe quality silicon oxide having a plurality of monolayers is grown at a high temperature on a silicon substrate. A monolayer of silicon oxide is a single layer of silicon atoms and two oxygen atoms per silicon atom bonded thereto. The silicon oxide is etched one monolayer at a time until a desired thickness of the silicon layer is obtained. Each monolayer is removed by introducing a first gas to form a reaction layer on the silicon oxide. The gas is then purged. Then the reaction layer is activated by either another gas or heat. The reaction layer then acts to remove a single monolayer. This process is repeated until a desired amount of silicon oxide layer remains. Because this removal process is limited to removing one monolayer at a time, the removal of silicon oxide is well controlled. This allows for a precise amount of silicon oxide to remain.

29 Apr 1998TL;DR: In this paper, a textile fabric including a plurality of electrically conductive fibers and at least one electronic sensor and sensing fibers is characterized as creating an interconnect to a portable electronic monitoring device, integrated components such as heating and cooling bands, electronics, or the like, or serving as an antenna for signals received and transmitted between an integrated electronic component and a remote monitoring device.
Abstract: A textile fabric including a plurality of electrically conductive fibers and at least one electronic sensor or a plurality of sensing fibers. The textile fabric is intended for fabrication into a functional article of clothing or other item made of the woven textile fabric, so as to increase functionality of the article of clothing or item made thereof. The fabric is intended to assist a wearer in the monitoring of biomedical information and/or environmental conditions existent upon the wearer. The plurality of electrically conductive fibers and sensing devices are characterized as creating an interconnect to a portable electronic monitoring device, integrated components such as heating and cooling bands, electronics, or the like, or for serving as an antenna for signals received and transmitted between an integrated electronic component and a remote monitoring device.
