Abstract: A method is described for estimating channel impulse responses of a mobile radio channel with a broad bandwidth by a code division multiplexing method, and with a synchronization channel continuously transmitting sequences to mobile radio receivers. The sequences are provided for synchronization of each mobile radio receiver and are known to each of the mobile radio receivers. The transmitted sequences have pilot symbols for identifying the synchronization channel, and the pilot symbols are transmitted at points that are known to the receivers within a time slot. When searching for and identifying the synchronization channel, the pilot symbols and, possibly, further symbols and sequences which are known in the receivers, are evaluated to estimate the delay times and the complex amplitudes, of the mobile radio channel responses.

Abstract: The invention relates to communications systems, and particularly to enhancing tolerance to failures in network elements and transmission systems. The fault tolerance is achieved by providing two or more active ATM permanent virtual channel (PVC) connections between a core network element and an access network element, and providing a separate ATM interface unit for each such ATM PVC connection in the core network element. The user and signalling traffic is distributed among these active connections and interface units. In case of a failure in one of the ATM PVC connections or interface units, the communication is maintained over the other connection(s) and interface unit(s). Thus, only part of the transport capacity is lost, and a total block of communication is avoided. Any new communication will be setup over the other connections.

Abstract: A method for preparing a calcium phosphate pasty material for injection which after, setting, is designed to form an apatite material consists in: producing from water and calcium phosphates pasty mixture capable of developing, hardening and forming a hydroxyapatite. The method is characterised in that it consists in adding to the calcic phosphates or to the pasty mixture before it is injected a methicone having relative to the mixture more than 0.30 wt. % and less than 10 wt. %. The resulting material can be injected, that is it can be transported in pasty form into a conduit under moderate pressure levels. The material sets on the site of implantation and hardens to form an apatite biomaterial in a manner similar to known methicone-free calcium phosphate mixtures.
