Abstract: A method is described that enables maximum-likelihood (ML) demodulation for MIMO communications over frequency-selective channels. An equalizer is typically employed to suppress inter-symbol interference (ISI) due to frequency-selectiveness of the channel, but the noise of the equalizer output can be highly correlated such that standard ML-MIMO demodulations cannot directly apply. The method comprises first constructing equivalent post-equalization MIMO channel and noise covariance matrix, and then de-correlating the equalizer output so that ML or near-ML MIMO demodulations can be applied to improve the performance. Additionally, successive ISI cancellation (SIC) is described for further performance improvement.

Abstract translation: 描述了一种能够通过频率选择信道进行MIMO通信的最大似然（ML）解调的方法。 通常采用均衡器来抑制由于信道的频率选择性引起的符号间干扰（ISI），但是均衡器输出的噪声可以高度相关，使得标准ML-MIMO解调不能直接应用。 该方法包括首先构建等效的后均衡MIMO信道和噪声协方差矩阵，然后将均衡器输出去相关，使ML或近ML MIMO解调可以应用于提高性能。 另外，为了进一步提高性能，描述了连续的ISI取消（SIC）。

Abstract: An electric field activated bi-stable molecular system configured within an electric field generated by a pair of electrodes is provided for use, e.g., as electronic ink or other visual displays. The molecular system has at least one rotor portion connected to at least one stator portion, wherein the rotor portion rotates with respect to the stator portion between at least two different states upon application of the electric field, thereby inducing a band gap change in the molecular system, wherein in a first state, there is extended conjugation throughout the major portion of the molecular system, resulting in a relatively smaller band gap, and wherein in a second state, the extended conjugation is destroyed, resulting in a relatively larger band gap. A primary advantage of the molecular system is improved contrast. Because the colorant of the present invention is molecular and thus effectively monoplanar, there should be no backside reflection or scattering from the colorant. A second advantage of the present invention is improved resolution. Finally, each molecule of the present invention will latch to stabilize one or the other of its color states.

Abstract: Langmuir-Blodgett films are provided in which a molecule is chemically bonded with a bottom electrode substrate as part of a crossed wire device comprising two electrodes and a molecular layer therebetween. The molecule, which comprises a switchable moiety and a connecting moiety, is provided with a photolabile capping group attached to the connecting moiety. The photolabile capping group temporarily caps the reactive connecting group of the molecule. The capped molecules are processed to form a LB film on the water-air interface of water. The films are then exposed to UV light. The photolabile capping group decomposes to give back the connecting group, which remains in the water. As the uncapped LB films are transferred to a bottom electrode substrate, the surface of the electrode reacts with the reactive connecting group of the molecule to form a chemically bonded LB layer on the substrate, thereby providing improved LB films.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for packing, including single pixel data strings, and playback tracking of informative data, e.g., audio signals, associated with graphics. To maximize the signal-to-noise ratio during data recovery, a Read sensor is kept substantially on-center of each data block throughout reading. A Print-and-Read ink-jet embodiment carriage mechanism in conjunction with the paper feed mechanism keeps the Read sensor on track center as misalignment information has been determined beforehand or in real time for active track servoing. Additional functionalities are incorporated in scanning ink-jet class of printers so that they can further operate as informative data recovery or retrieval systems for digitized data on graphical data images. In another embodiment, a digital camera itself is provided with additional functionalities to operate as a recovery and playback device for prints containing informative data.
