Abstract: A method of receiving digitised data encoded to permit forward error
correction, for example convolutionally encoded data transmitted in a burst-mode
radio communications system such as GSM. Prior to transmission a
set of first data elements (bits) relating to a first message which may be
associated with a first channel type (e.g. a traffic channel (TCH) in GSM) has
selected bits substituted or stolen by data elements (bits) relating to a second
message which may be associated with a second channel type (e.g. a fast
associated channel (FACCH) in GSM). At the receiver the second message
is recovered by extracting the substitute data elements. In order to improve
bit error rate performance the received data is then modified by replacing the
substitute data elements with low-or zero-valued "soft decisions", i.e. further
data elements comprising respective components indicative of the low level of
confidence associated therewith relative to the original data element. The
modified data is decoded using, for example a Viterbi decoder (4) sensitive to
the soft decisions to estimate the most likely set of data elements comprising
the first message.

Abstract: A biochemical analyzing method includes the steps of fixing probes
selected in advance on a substrate, binding a target with the probes using
hybridization to capture the target, fractionating the captured target,
detecting the fractionated target, and quantitatively analyzing the
detected target. According to this biochemical analyzing method, it is
possible to reliably separate substances derived from a living organism
other than the target, detect only the target and accurately perform a
quantitative analysis in the case of fixing probes on a substrate, binding a
target which is a substance derived from a living organism with the
probes fixed on the substrate utilizing hybridization or antigen-antibody
reaction, detecting the target and performing quantitative analysis, even
when substances derived from a living organism other than the target are
bound with the probes due to similarity in structure in addition to the
target or instead of the target.

Abstract: A toner loading system for an image forming apparatus includes a valve for a
toner bottle and a valve opening member on a toner hopper of the image forming
apparatus. The valve includes a first valve member non-rotatably secured to an
opening of the toner bottle and a second valve member rotatably secured to the first
valve member. The first and second valve members each include tabs and apertures.
When the tabs of the first and second valve members are aligned the apertures of the
first and second valve members do not overlap and no toner may be dispensed from the
toner bottle. The toner bottle is engaged with the valve opening member on the toner
hopper to dispense the toner. The valve opening member prevents rotation of the
second valve member with respect to the hopper and permits rotation of the first valve
member and the toner bottle with respect to the toner hopper. Rotation of the first
valve member relative to the second valve member in a first direction causes the tabs to
move out of alignment and the aperture of the first valve member to overlap the
aperture of the second valve member, allowing dispensing of the toner. The valve
opening member prevents disengagement of the toner bottle from the toner hopper
while the valve is open, thus preventing spilling of the toner. Rotation of the first valve
member relative to the second valve member in a second direction opposite to the first
direction moves the tabs back into alignment and closes the valve. The toner bottle
may then be disengaged from the valve opening member.

rotatable on a second axis. The second magnet has a nonzero magnetic moment at
a right angle to the second axis. The first and second magnets are juxtaposed in
magnetic linkage so that the second magnet is urged to follow the first magnet in
rotation. The divider plugs the opening in the container. A magnetic field sensor is
positioned to sense axial magnetic field strength at a location offset from the second
axis. Importantly, the magnetization of the second magnet gives rise to a sensed
magnetic field at the sensor that is nonsinusoidal with respect to an angle of rotation
of the second magnet on the second axis, or gives rise to north and south poles
separated by more than a half-circle or axial rotation of the second magnet.
