摘要:
A method (200) of frequency trimming an electronic device (100) such as a resonator or filter can include the steps of providing (202) an external trimmable portion (10) of a multi-port trim network and selectively removing (204) at least a portion of the external trimmable portion to selectively increase or decrease the frequency of the electronic device. Selectively removing can include selectively removing (206) the portion of the external trimmable portion to selectively increase the frequency by reducing a parallel capacitance of the external trimmable portion or alternatively selectively removing (208) the portion of the external trimmable portion to selectively decrease the frequency by increasing a series inductance of the external trimmable portion. Trimming of the frequency up or down can be done without affecting (210) any main resonating structures of the electronic device and without adding (212) metal to the external trimmable portion.

A tool for driving and setting nail-pin anchors and anchor bolts into concrete, the tool using the percussive action of a rotary hammer drill. The tool comprises a body member with a spring, a driver, and a ram inserted into the body member's bore. After a hole is drilled for insertion of the anchor, the masonry drill bit of the rotary hammer drill is slid inside the bore of the ram and temporarily locked to the tool. The rotary hammer drill is activated, and the drill bit turns inside the ram without affecting the body member or the anchor. Instead, the percussive force of the rotary hammer drill transfers its impact to the ram and the driver, which impacts the nail of the nail-pin anchor, or the stem of the anchor bolt, setting it into the concrete. A keyed bearing can be installed inside a sleeve of the ram in order to protect the tip of the masonry drill bit from shearing.

A multilayer ceramic integrated circuit module for a receiver front-end of a wireless communication device is provided. The module contains an embedded component portion, which has a plurality of thick film capacitors; a plurality of multilayer capacitors; and a plurality of transmission lines deposited internal to the multilayer ceramic integrated circuit module to interconnect the plurality of thick film capacitors and the plurality of multilayer capacitors. The module also contains a mounted component portion, which has a pair of pin diodes; a transistor and a plurality of resistors coupled thereto, for controlling the bias of the pair of pin diodes; and a low-noise-amplifier. The module reduces the size and weight of wireless devices and combines multiple functions into a highly integrated device.

A system of evaluating automatic message accounting records associated with telephony calls is disclosed. The system includes correlation logic to collect originating AMA records having an originating call code to identify a record of an originating long distance call and further to collect terminating AMA records that correspond to the collected originating automatic message accounting records. The system also includes evaluation logic to determine when a call may be by-passing terminating access charges by identifying calls that have been correlated with an originating AMA record having the originating code and with a terminating AMA record having a local termination code.

A method of evaluating automatic message accounting records associated with telephony calls that originate at a local exchange carrier telephony office and that are routed over an inter-exchange carrier telephony facility is disclosed. The method comprises collecting originating automatic message accounting records associated with the originating local exchange carrier telephony office, and collecting terminating automatic message accounting records that correspond to the originating automatic message accounting records. A first portion of the terminating automatic message accounting records have a terminating access code and a second portion of the terminating automatic message accounting records have a local termination code.

An exemplary system and method for providing differential adjustment of the height of a multilayer substrate in localized areas for improved Q-factor performance of RF devices is disclosed as comprising inter alia: a multilayer substrate (200); an RF component (210) embedded in the substrate (200); a surface mounted component (220); and an RF shield (260) disposed next to the surface mounted component (220), wherein the height of the shield (260) does not extend substantially beyond the height of the surface mounted component (220). Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, configured, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to further improve or otherwise optimize Q, RF performance and/or material characteristics. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention representatively provide for high-performance, high-quality RF devices that may be readily incorporated with existing technologies for the improvement of frequency response, device package form factors, weights and/or other manufacturing, device or material performance metrics.
