摘要： An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) communication system comprises OFDM transmitters (103-109) and an OFDM receiver (101). The system comprises a subcarrier status data controller (200) for transmitting subcarrier status data to the OFDM receiver (101). The subcarrier status data indicates the active subcarriers of the OFDM transmitters (103-109). The OFDM receiver (101) comprises a receiver (201) which receives a signal comprising a desired signal component from a first OFDM transmitter (103) and interference from at least one interfering OFDM transmitter (105). The OFDM receiver (101) further comprises a subcarrier status processor (203) which receives the subcarrier status data and a channel estimator (205) which determines channel estimates for at least an air interface communication channel from the first OFDM transmitter (103) and an air interface communication channel from the interfering OFDM transmitter (105). An interference mitigation processor (207) performs interference mitigation of the interference in response to the subcarrier status data and the channel estimates thereby providing improved recovery of the data from the first OFDM transmitter (103).

摘要： A coherent or a noncoherent transmission mode is automatically selected for a transmission on the basis of an estimated Doppler frequency shift due to a motion of a mobile terminal. A coherent mode is selected if a pilot signal overhead is not excessive to uniquely characterize a Doppler frequency shift, as at lower carrier frequency times relative velocity products. A noncoherent mode is selected if a pilot signal overhead would be excessive to uniquely characterize a Doppler frequency shift at higher carrier frequency times relative velocity products. Both the coherent and noncoherent modes have respective advantages for their respective carrier frequency time relative velocity regimes.

摘要： A cellular communication system comprises a Multiple-In Multiple-Out, MIMO, transmitter (101) and receiver (103). The MIMO transmitter (101) comprises a message generator (303) for generating MIMO messages comprising selected training sequences and transceivers (305, 307, 309) transmitting the messages on a plurality of antennas (311, 313, 315). The training sequences are selected by a midamble selector (317) from a set of training sequences in response to an associated antenna on which the message is to be transmitted. The set of training sequences is associated with the cell of the MIMO transmitter and comprises disjoint subsets of training sequences for each of the plurality of antennas. The receiver (103) comprises a transmit antenna detector (419) which determines which antenna of the MIMO transmitter the message is transmitted from in response to the training sequence of the received message.

摘要： A tire rain protector made of a mushroom shaped polymer body having a reverse taper male thread formed thereon having a threadform with three varying geometric parameters. The thread thickness, thread height, and thread crest width all increase from the top of the tire rain protector body to the bottom of the body. These three features along with a thread that begins at the underside of the cap enable for a device that is easy to install and forms a secure tight seal on a tire. When installed, this dome-like device diverts rain from collecting into the concave liner (inner sidewalls) of a horizontally stacked tire.

摘要： Disclosed is a portable apparatus for batting practice which aids in the development and/or improvement of a batter's ability to strike a baseball/softball with a baseball/softball bat. The apparatus consists of ball-targets, affixed to a hub, that rotate about a horizontal axle. Suitably, the hub is defined by a strap and clamp assembly.The apparatus may be affixed to any vertical assembly, but will typically be affixed to a standard vertical assembly, commonly known as a batting tee. Once so affixed, the apparatus may be adjusted up or down along with the tee, to allow for batters of varying heights to use the apparatus. The batter strikes the target, with the selected implement, in this case a baseball/softball bat, causing the target to rotate around the horizontal axle, eventually returning a target once again to the upright and proper position, allowing for further training using said apparatus.

摘要： A tape course generator produces tape course definitions for use in programming a CNC composite tape lamination machine. The tape course generator includes a reference surface parameterizer that maps a contoured surface onto a parametric reference surface, and a reference plane instantiator that maps the reference surface onto a reference plane. The tape course generator also includes a tape boundary plotter that plots a tape boundary, and a boundary mapper that maps the tape boundary and a ply boundary into the reference plane. In addition, the tape course generator includes an intersection locator that identifies intersections of the ply boundary and the tape boundary, and a tape course delimiter that defines tape cuts and determines which points in the reference plane are within a tape course. Moreover, the tape course generator includes a tape course transformer that maps the defined tape course back onto the contoured surface.

摘要： A process for the rendering of an effluent stream from a food processing plant, in which the effluent has or is made to have an acidic pH and carries proteinaceous material. The effluent is contacted with an inorganic coagulant (clay) that together with the acidic pH effectively neutralizes ionic charges on the proteinaceous material to cause the proteinaceous material to precipitate out of solution. The effluent stream is contacted with a biologically derived polymeric flocculant to facilitate settling of the precipitated proteinaceous material as flocs. The inorganic coagulant is present in an amount by weight of at least 1.5 times or 2.5 times the amount by weight of polymeric flocculant. Flocs are removed from the effluent stream to thereby render the effluent stream. A biologically derived co-flocculant is added to the effluent stream after contact with the effluent stream by coagulant and flocculant. Insoluble salts of alkaline earth metals are added to the effluent stream after contact with the effluent stream by coagulant and flocculant. The process may be applied to unit operations within the food processing plant. Apparatus for floc treatment include a mixing and acidity settling tank, a conical settling vessel with baffled outlet, a floc seed supply for effluent entering the settling vessel, an effluent diffuser at the inlet to the settling vessel and an agitator set to delay agitation until floc settles in the settling vessel.

摘要： A token ring local area network includes workstations running both conventional data and multimedia applications. The latter, which generally requires a minimum throughput in order to be viable, can be split into two further categories; those which cannot tolerate excessive latency (end to end delay), typically interactive applications such as voice communications, and those which are less sensitive to latenoy, typically playback operations, the network recognises three priority levels: (1) for latency-sensitive multimedia applications, (2) for latency-insensitive multimedia applications, and (3) conventional applications. All multimedia applications prior to commencement of any communications over the LAN must request an allocation of throughput from a LAN segment resource manager (LSRM), which will only be awarded if there is currently sufficient available throughput on the LAN to support the attended communication. Furthermore, first priority level applications are also given a maximum token holding time, thereby ensuring rapid circulation of the token, and controlling latency.

摘要： An element for detecting combustible gases comprises a catalyst material associated with an electrical resistor serving as both a heater and a thermal sensor, the catalyst material being produced by heating a deposit from an aqueous slurry of alumina, of maximum particle size 0.1 micron, containing in solution a compound of a metal of the platinum group. The deposited material may constitute a pellet (6) within which is embedded a coiled part (3) of a wire (1) constituting the resistor. The element then resembles a conventional "pellistor" in form, but has improved resistance to poisoning or inhibition of the catalyst.
