Abstract: Coded digital data symbols sent through a transmission channel of a communications network are received in a receiver. Estimates (y) represented by a first number (a+b) of bits are calculated, and modified estimates (y') represented by a second number (c) of bits provided therefrom, the second number being lower than the first number. An amplitude value is calculated for each estimate (y), and an averaged amplitude value calculated for a number of amplitude values. A scaling factor (s) is calculated from the averaged amplitude value, and scaled estimates generated in dependence of the scaling factor. The scaling factor is used for a number of scaled estimates corresponding to the number of amplitude values for which the averaged amplitude value was calculated. Thus a better scaling factor is provided for most channel cases, which can still be calculated with the limited computational resources of a terminal for such networks.

Abstract: A new test pattern which consists of performing “very small jumps” and “very big jumps” within the matrix. The “very small jumps” are controlled by the row decoder, and have the effect of sensitizing the resistive open defects which lead to slow-to-fall behavior in the word line. A “very small jump” means that the memory position of two consecutive accesses remains in a unique sub-cluster until all rows in that sub-cluster have been tested, remains in the same cluster until all rows in that cluster have been tested, remains in the same U section until all rows in that U section have been tested, and finally, remains in the same Z block until all of the rows of that Z block have been tested. The “very big jumps” are intended to cover the class of resistive open defects which leads to slow-to-rise behavior, and is intended to mean that two consecutive memory accesses must never stay in the same subcluster, at the same cluster, or at the same U section.

Abstract: A method directly injects gaseous fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. The compressibility of the gaseous fuel is used to provide a fuel to the combustion chamber that is injected over all engine operating conditions at pressures that result in fuel jet speeds beyond the injector nozzle in excess of sonic speeds as determined in reference to the combustion chamber environment. The resulting fuel injection speed results in the fuel passing through shock waves within the combustion chamber, which, in turn, promotes combustion of the fuel by promoting turbulence and mixing of the fuel and intake charge within the combustion chamber where fuel burns in a non-premixed combustion mode.

Abstract: A new type of secondary locking system for article carriers consisting of at least one secondary male lock with two shoulders that is attached by a neck to the edge of a outer flap on the carrier for use with a primary locking system. An inner flap has a secondary female opening for each secondary male lock. The secondary female opening is formed by a secondary cut line and fold line with the center of the fold line projecting towards the edge of the flap while of the center of the secondary cut line projects away from the edge of the flap to guide the secondary male lock into a flat position against the inside of the inner flap. The shoulders on the secondary male lock are engaged against locking ledges along the extensions of the secondary cut line. A pair of slits may be formed at the end of the fold lines that project inwardly to allow the secondary male lock to slide into a flat position. This locking system is especially useful in wrapping containers that have a flat bottom that would interfere with conventional locking systems.
