    摘要: A phase-modulated signal such as a quadrature phase-shift-keyed (QPSK) signal in a wireless communication system is demodulated by frequency demodulating the phase-modulated signal. The phase-modulated signal is separated into first and second copies, the first copy is phase demodulated to generate demodulated symbols, and the second copy is frequency demodulated to generate, e.g., a measure of the instantaneous frequency of the phase-modulated signal. The instantaneous frequency measure is processed to identify one or more symbol transitions, and the identified transitions are used to generate event signals having signature properties (signature events). These signature events are used in traditional Time Difference of Arrival tdoa algorithms to accurately determine position of a mobile unit in the wireless communication system.

    摘要: The present invention relates to nanotubes and in particular to a process and apparatus for the preparation of nanotubes. In particular, the present invention relates to nanotubes which are made from materials other than carbon or nanotubes containing carbon but which would not ordinarily be classed as carbon nanotubes on account of their low carbon content. The nanostructures of the present invention have a number of applications such as: ionic conductors/battery components, hydrogen storage, templating nanowires, electrical devices, catalysis and synthesis, flat screen technology, and mechanical applications.

    摘要: The present invention is an apparatus and a method for generation of random numbers. The apparatus comprises an alpha-radiation source, such as Am 241, for which the decay product produces no secondary radiation with the energy equal or higher than that of the prime alpha radiation. The alpha particles emitted by the isotope and having reached the detector have a narrow energy spectrum and, hence, produce identical electrical pulses in a detector. An alpha-particle detection system is provided which includes a differential discriminator in combination with a logical selector. This combination of elements allows a positive identification of individual events of alpha-decay in the alpha-radiation source to be made and filters out any other signals produced by different radiation sources both inside and outside the apparatus. An electronic unit processes the stream of identical electric pulses into a stream of random numbers. The digital output of the physical random number generator will be completely free of correlations usually present in the output of other physical sources of random numbers and associated with: a) the physical source of randomness; b) the electronic circuitry; and c) outside and inside electromagnetic and other interference.

    摘要: Microcellular stations are transceiving units covering a relatively small geographic area and adapted to establish bidirectional links between mobile telephone subscriber stations and a main base station. Each such microcellular station includes a transmitter for generating outgoing signals directed to the main base station over an optical fiber link. Radio signals received from a mobile station at a separate diversity antenna of the microcellular station are frequency shifted and combined with other signals received from the mobile station. The transmitter at the microcellular station generates an optical carrier signal which is modulated by the resulting combined signals. A frequency converter, located at the main base station, restores the frequency band of signals received from the microcellular station to its original frequency. Frequency shifting and conversion are implemented at the microcellular station and at the main base station by frequency mixing steps performed by oscillators at both locations, which oscillators use the same reference frequency thereby achieving channel coherency.

    摘要: This invention enables a user to convert their favourite DRM protected media files, which would otherwise have significant use restrictions, to media files that can be played without limitation of time. This is especially useful where the DRM protected files are supplied as part of a subscription service and the ability to playback those files ends when the subscription ends. This approach relies on the ability to gather playback metrics for the DRM protected media files, to analyse them to determine the user's favourites, and then to provide the user with non-time limited versions of those favourite digital media files. In one implementation, a user's favourite music tracks can still be played, even though a music subscription service has ended.
