摘要： An apparatus in a node of a wireless network for setting the data rate for sending data to a remote node, and a method for setting the data rate. The method includes receiving a packet from the remote node, determining a measure of signal quality for the received packet; and selecting the data rate for communicating to the remote node according to at least the determined signal quality. The measure of signal quality is a measure of the EVM of the received packet. One implementation conforms to one or more variants of the IEEE 802.11 standard that uses OFDM packets.

摘要： In an example embodiment, packet encapsulation is employed to facilitate bridging between bridge ports that do not reflect frames (such as 802.1 compatible bridge ports) and bridge ports that do reflect frames (such as 802.11 compatible clients). Packets from a wireless access point may be sent twice, once with a predefined multicast address for processing by 802.11 clients contained in bridges, and once with the original destination address. In particular embodiments, additional means may be employed to minimize the circumstances where packets are duplicated.

摘要： An apparatus for inclusion and a method for operation in a station (STA) of a wireless network. The method includes received data from at least one remote station and determining a measure of the signal quality, e.g., a measure of the EVM from samples of the data received from the remote station(s). If the remote station(s) is/are access point(s), the station selects an access point for association according to criteria that include the measure of the EVM from the remote station. If the received data includes a request management message, the station responds to the request management message with a response management message that include a measure of the EVM of the received data corresponding to the request management message. Thus, the remote station receiving the response management message receives an indication of the quality of the link between the station and the remote station without the receiving remote station necessarily being EVM-capable.

摘要： A method for automatic hidden node detection that includes observing frame exchange sequences that conform to a MAC standard such as the IEEE 802.11 standard. The method includes detecting a hidden node upon receiving a response frame without previously receiving the frame causing the response. Similar conclusions may be drawn from longer frame sequences. When a hidden node has been detected with reasonable certainty, a hidden node report is sent to a hidden node manager. In one embodiment, the hidden node manager is centralized, and in another, the management function is performed in a distributed manner. Upon receiving a report, the hidden node manager automatically invokes hidden node avoidance measures by sending one or more action frames. In another embodiment, the hidden node manager turns on a hidden node mitigation method. In the case of the IEEE 802.11 standard, the hidden node manager turns on the IEEE 802.11 hidden node mitigation method based on RTS/CTS exchange.

A new rotation-based first order noise-shaping Dynamic Element Matcher (DEM) technique for use with 3-level unit elements have been disclosed. Reduced reference loading has been achieved when the tri-level DEM scheme is applied to switched capacitor implementations in particular. Furthermore a differential switched-capacitor DAC implementation, which enables use of the DEM technique is disclosed.

摘要： Systems and methods for providing a fully differential amplifier performing common-mode voltage control having reduced area and power requirements are disclosed. The amplifier disclosed comprises an additional input stage at the amplifier input which senses the common mode voltage of the amplifier's inputs and applies internal feedback control to adjust the output common-mode voltage until the input common-mode voltage matches a target voltage and thereby indirectly set the output common-mode voltage. Furthermore the internal common-mode control can be implemented in such a manner as to provide a feed-forward transconductance function in addition to common-mode control if desired. Moreover it is possible to use feedback from other amplifier stages in an amplifier chain to implement common-mode feedback.

摘要： A bypass valve allows fast and reliable sequential transfer of samples from a 96-well plate to a flow-through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe of an NMR spectrometer. The bypass valve has three ports: an inject port connected to a first input of the flow-through probe; a load port connected to a needle capable of drawing the samples from the 96-well plate; and a hold port connected to a holding loop. The syringe pump draws a sample from the 96-well plate through the needle and the bypass valve into the holding loop. The position of the bypass valve is switched, and the sample and a dose of push solvent are pushed into the flow-through probe through the bypass valve. After NMR measurements are performed on the sample, the sample is drawn into the holding loop through the bypass valve, at the same time as air is flushed through the probe. The position of the bypass valve is again switched, and the sample is pushed out through the needle.
