Abstract: L'invention concerne une interface de commande du service général de radiocommunications par paquets (GPRS) pour la transmission de commandes, d'événements et de données entre deux dispositifs de communication utilisant une couche de transport GPRS (GTL). Selon une variante, les dispositifs peuvent comprendre un hôte et une unité de contrôle en bande de base de modem assurant les communications sur une liaison série. On peut assurer la communication des paquets de commandes, d'événements et de données en trames et avec multiplexage aux fins de transmission sur la liaison. La communication en trames consiste entre autres à ajouter un drapeau pour l'identification des paquets de commandes et d'événements, séparément des paquets de données, et elle fait appel à un numéro de séquence pour la synchronisation. Un premier canal logique peut être utilisé pour les paquets de commandes englobant les commandes de modem à transmission asynchrone. Un second canal logique peut être utilisé pour les paquets de données sortants. Un troisième canal logique peut être utilisé pour les paquets d'événements, et un quatrième canal logique peut être utilisé pour les paquets de données entrants. Les commandes de couche GTL peuvent engager une initialisation ou une resynchronisation de la couche d'interface de commande GPRS (GCI) et peuvent apparaître, par exemple, en réponse à des erreurs de numéro de séquence propres aux erreurs de multiplet de contrôle.

Abstract: A method of, and an apparatus for, operating a radio system in which a first station (10 or 20) transmits a signal which is received by a second station (20 or 10) at a plurality of spaced locations (24A to 24D). One of the first and second stations transmits and receives a radar signal which is scaled to appear as if it had been transmitted by the other of the first and second stations. The signal received by the second station is analysed by frequency domain analysis to calculate the number of specular reflections and the reflection coefficient for each specular reflection. The scaled signal is analysed to determine bounds for at least one parameter of the specular reflections. The results of the analysis of the radar signal at the second station are utilised to reduce the bounds on the at least one parameter by matching the specular reflection from the frequency domain analysis and the scaled radar signal, and optimising a parameter model of the received signal using the reduced bounds on the at least one parameter and the number of reflections identified in the frequency domain analysis.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method for fabricating micro-devices comprising aluminumoxide structures without the need for an extra lithographical processing step. So, no extra mask is needed. It appears that under certain circumstances, aluminumoxide walls arise in the etching process, just above sloped walls of underlying metal structures. The fact that the walls of the metal structures are sloped, is essential here. Using the method according to the invention, aluminumoxide structures can be fabricated that are aligned exactly above the sloped walls of the metal structure. These aligned aluminumoxide structures can be used as walls in for example microfluidic channels, electrowetting displays, electrophoretic displays or field emitting displays.
