Abstract: The present invention relates to a receiver (42) for making it possible to accurately
restore a transmitted information bit by removing the influence of interference waves.
Pilot symbols inserted at the transmission side (41) are extracted from received signals
(S48-S51), and weighting factors (S61-S64) for minimizing the interference wave
component in accordance with extracted pilot symbols (S52-S55) are calculated to
remove the interference wave component from information symbols (S56?S59) by
multiplying the information symbols extracted from received signals by the weighting
factors. Thereby, even if interference waves are received, it is possible to easily
remove the interference wave component from received signals and thus, accurately
restore the information bit (S72) transmitted by removing the influence of interference
waves.

Abstract: A microporous sheet having both acoustical and
structural functionality and a process for producing the
sheet. Construction of the sheet requires, first of all,
providing a sheet capable of functioning as a structural
element of a component. A laser device capable of
producing a free electron laser beam is provided, and the
free electron laser beam is directed to a surface of the
sheet to penetrate the sheet at a plurality of sites and
thereby form a plurality of apertures. These apertures
are generally uniformly dispersed and of a size and
number sufficient to enable the sheet to function as an
acoustical noise suppressor while retaining capability of
functioning as a structural element. Use of free
electron laser technology permits formation of smooth-walled,
circular or non-circular apertures tailored to
exact geometry specifications controlled to a nanometer
in size, and produces a microporous sheet having
structural functionality while meeting acoustic
requirements with clean, unclogged apertures and with low
friction-to-surface and/or boundary-layer control
airflow.

Abstract: A laser apparatus arranged for use in a method for performing
intrastromal photorefractive keratectomy in the cornea of an eye, using
a pulsed laser beam to photodisrupt a portion of
the cornea, includes the initial step of focusing the beam to a focal spot at a
selected starting point in the stroma. The starting point is located at a
predetermined distance behind the epithelium of the cornea. While focused
on the starting point, the laser beam is pulsed to disrupt a volume of the
stroma which is approximately equal to the volume of the focal point.
Subsequently, the beam is focused in a patterned sequence to focal spots at
other discrete points in the stroma. At each point the stroma is
photodisrupted. With this progressive pattern of photodisruption, each spot
is placed substantially contiguous with adjacent a volume of previously
disrupted tissue. The resultant photodisrupted tissue creates a layer which is
substantially centro-symmetrical around the optical axis. A plurality of layers
can be removed to create a cavity in the stroma. When the cavity collapses,
the corneal curvature is changed as desired.

call charge is calculated by multiplying the number of
charging units by a call rate which has been set by a
call rate setting process. On the other hand, if the call
charge information is a display message, the call charge
is simply extracted from the display message. A calculated
call charge or the detected call charge is displayed
on a display of the facsimile device.
