Abstract:
A Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO) system has multiple radiation elements and absorbers disposed on a substrate. The absorbers are positioned about the radiation elements to reduce the interference between the radiation elements. Use of the absorbers permits interference levels comparable to conventional MIMO systems using spatial diversity without requiring the antennas to be separated by at least one-half of the wavelength of the communicated signals. A ground plane on the substrate is also positioned on the substrate to enhance antenna system performance.
Abstract:
A method of scanning neighboring target RATs (Radio Access Technology). The method according to one embodiment includes transmitting a message including a field indicating whether or not the mobile station supports the inter-RAT handover while performing a network entry process; transmitting a request for information about another RAT only if the inter-RAT handover is supported by the mobile station; and, in response to the request, receiving information about a recommended RAT from the base station. The information about the recommended RAT is selected based on the location information. The method according to the embodiment further includes performing the scanning of the neighboring target RATs using the information about the recommended RAT; and reporting a result of the scanning. The performing of the scanning is triggered when channel quality falls below a certain threshold. The receiving information is in response to, both, the transmitted message, and the transmitted request.

Abstract:
A carbon fiber composite including: carbon fiber; and silicon carbide coated on the surface of the carbon fiber, and a production method of the same are provided. The carbon fiber composite may reduce weight, implement an outstanding heat-dissipating efficiency by using high thermal conductivity, and be used in various ways in electronic products and the like where heat-dissipating characteristics are required.
Abstract:
An apparatus in a Base station (BS) and an apparatus in a Mobile Station (MS) are provided for allocating and requesting, respectively, uplink resources in a wireless communication system. The apparatus in the MS includes a transmitter for sending, to a base station, a predetermined Channel Quality Information CHannel (CQICH) codeword over a pre-allocated CQICH in a silence period, when an uplink bandwidth for an extended real-time Polling Service (ertPS) is not allocated to the mobile station, to inform the base station that the mobile station has data to send; and a receiver for receiving, from the base station, information related to an uplink bandwidth supporting a maximum rate allocated by the base station, in response to the CQICH codeword.
Abstract:
A transaction splitting apparatus and method are provided in which neighboring sub-transactions accessing a predetermined bank in each memory may access different banks. The transaction splitting apparatus includes a first processing unit to split a transaction into at least one sub-transaction, the transaction accessing a first bank among a plurality of banks comprised in a memory, and a second processing unit to translate an address of the at least one sub-transaction, to interleave the at least one sub-transaction using the plurality of banks.
Abstract:
Described is a lateral field emission device emitting electrons in parallel with respect to a substrate. Electron emission materials having a predetermined thickness are arranged in a direction with respect to the substrate on a supporting portion. An anode is disposed on a side portion of the substrate, the anode corresponding to the electron emission materials.
Abstract:
A cigar splitter comprises: a housing having two open ends, an inside wall and outside surface, and a long axis, wherein the open ends are in line with each other permitting a cigar to be inserted through one end and out the other. A blade is attached to the inside of the housing, the blade oriented for cutting an outer sheath of the cigar as the cigar is inserted through one end of the splitter housing and out the other end. An apparatus for lighting and splitting a cigar comprising a cigar splitter as described above and can maintain active and inactive configurations of the splitter for safety of the user.
