摘要:
Signal Quality Enhancement is performed directly in a coded domain. Coded Domain-Signal Quality Enhancement (CD-SQE) is applied to an encoded signal populated substantially with encoded signal bits to produce an enhanced encoded signal. The enhanced encoded signal is outputted. Thus, the signal does not have to go through intermediate decoder/re-encoder(s), which can degrade overall speech quality. Computational resources required for a complete re-encoding are not needed. Overall delay of the system is minimized. The CD-SQE system can be used in any network in which signals are communicated in a coded domain, such as a Third Generation (3G) wireless network.
摘要:
Disclosed are silica-coated nanoparticles and a process for producing silica-coated nanoparticles. Silica-coated nanoparticles are prepared by precipitating nano-sized cores from reagents dissolved in the aqueous compartment of a water-in-oil microemulsion. A reactive silicate is added to coat the cores with silica. Also disclosed are methods for functionalizing silica-coated nanoparticles for use in a variety of applications.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) system that includes a plurality of terminals, services and servers, part or all of which are root-trust module based platforms. The system provides the management of root-trust based platforms in the network, and enables verification among the platforms.
摘要:
Aqueous solutions comprising one or more acetylenic diol type surfactants are used to improve the wettability of a substrate surface by lowering the contact angle of the aqueous developer solution are enclosed herein. In one embodiment, the aqueous solution is used to prepare the surface of the substrate prior to development of the resist coating layer.
摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are to facilitate the utilization of cloud computing resources by a mobile terminal. From the standpoint of a mobile hub, a request for cloud services is received that has been issued by an application executed by a mobile terminal. An application agent is then created based upon the application that issued the request and a request is caused to be transmitted to a cloud service provider in response to the request for cloud services. A response is then received from the cloud service provider and a response is caused to be provided to the mobile terminal based upon the response from the cloud service provider.
摘要:
Compounds and method of preparation of Si—X and Ge—X compounds (X═N, P, As and Sb) via dehydrogenative coupling between the corresponding unsubstituted silanes and amines (including ammonia) or phosphines catalyzed by metallic catalysts is described. This new approach is based on the catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of a Si—H and a X—H moiety to form a Si—X containing compound and hydrogen gas (X═N, P, As and Sb). The process can be catalyzed by transition metal heterogenous catalysts such as Ru(0) on carbon, Pd(0) on MgO) as well as transition metal organometallic complexes that act as homogeneous catalysts. The —Si—X products produced by dehydrogenative coupling are inherently halogen free. Said compounds can be useful for the deposition of thin films by chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition of Si-containing films.
