Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for transmitting data in the form of at least one sequence of pulses modulated by symbol encoding means.  According to the invention, the symbol encoding means include a plurality of signal encoders ENCi connected to a plurality of antennas ANTi and comprising each:  pulse generating means PGi for delivering a basic pulse sequence PSQi,  energy splitting means ENSPi for splitting said basic pulse sequence into sub-sequences Psqil...PsqiK,  signal modulating means SGM1...SGMK for applying to each sub-sequence a tunable coefficient, and  combination means CMBMi for combining all sub-sequences Tsgil...TsgiK into a signal Tsgi to be transmitted by the antenna ANTi to which the encoder ENCi is connected.    Thanks to the invention, each signal encoder ENCi is linked to a single antenna ANTi, which enables to ensure that said antenna will have essentially constant physical properties within its own frequential range of operation.  This invention is a variation on the concept of multi band ultra wideband (MB-UWB) systems.

Abstract: A method for transmitting a data word, according to which a codeword supply (CV) is provided, the number of individual codewords (C1 . . . C31) of the supply corresponding at least to the number of data positions (#1 . . . #31) of the data word (DW), the codewords being formed from a basic codeword (C1) by means of cyclical shifting, and the cross correlation function of each codeword (C2 . . . C31) with the basic codeword (C1) having a distinct extreme value, the position of which is characteristic of the individual codeword (C2). An individual codeword (C1) which is combined with the respective date (0) of the data position (#5) so as to obtain a combined result (VE5) relating to the individual data positions, is assigned to each data position (#1) of the data word (DW). The combined results (VE1 . . . VE31) relating to the individual data positions are added in order to obtain a sum word (SW) that is cross-correlated with a reference (R) following transmission, said reference (R) corresponding to the basic codeword (C1) or being created from the basic codeword (C1) by means of cyclical shifting. The respective data (0,1) of the data word (DW), which relates to the individual data positions, is reconstructed from the position and quantity of the values of the obtained correlation function (KKF) by allocating in a fixed manner a corresponding data (0,1) to each value (−6;26).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system, method and software program product for calculating metrological data (e.g. layer thicknesses and depths of recesses and trenches) on a surface or structure, such as a semiconductor wafer. The present method does not require knowledge of the reflectivity or transmissivity of the surface or structure, but only a quantity related to the reflectivity or transmissivity linear transformation needs to be known. Initially, a simplified optical model for the process is constructed using as many parameters as necessary for calculating the surface reflectivity of the discrete regions on the wafer. Reflectivity data are collected from the surface of a wafer using, for instance, in-situ monitoring, and nominal reflectivity is determined from the ratio of the current spectrum to a reference spectrum. The reference spectrum is taken from a reference wafer consisting entirely of a material in which the reflection properties are well characterized. Both the observed and calculated data are transformed such that their vertical extents and spectrally averaged values coincide. By transforming both the observed data and calculated model such that their vertical extents and spectrally averaged values coincide, large errors in both the data and the model can be tolerated. A merit function is employed which measures the agreement between observed data and the model with a particular choice of parameters. The merit function may be minimized using a standard numerical technique for finding a deep minimum in the merit function at the correct values of the parameters.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for limiting congestion in a packet-based network, particularly for controlling the transmission of voice traffic. A node in the network, such as a router, transmits at least one data stream comprising a plurality of data packets to a second node; the data streams can correspond to existing voice calls being transmitted through the network. The bandwidth utilization between the first node and second node is determined, and supervision packets are forwarded from the first node to the second node at a rate that is a function of the bandwidth utilization, the rate being inversely-proportional to the bandwidth utilization. At the second node, the congestion of the network can be determined based on the rate at which the supervision packets are received and, if the congestion exceeds a predefined threshold, the establishment of new voice calls through the second node and into the network can be limited.

Abstract: An extension/retraction cylinder (5) stops or starts tilting the platform (21) of a stair-climbing wheelchair carrier (2) based on a detection signal from an inclination sensor (51) provided in a crawler drive unit (3). When the crawler drive unit (3) is detected to be not tilted, the tilting motion of the platform (21) is stopped at an intermediate angle (e. g. 20 °) of a maximum preset angle (e. g. 40 °). When the crawler drive unit (3) is detected to be tilted, the platform (21) is tilted up to the maximum preset angle, and as soon as the crawler drive unit (3) is detected not to be tilted after tilting, the platform (21) is driven so as to decrease its inclination angle relative to the crawler drive unit (3).

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for reinitializing serialization data in a file server. The apparatus includes a failure recognition module, a discard module, and a serialization module. The failure recognition module recognizes a file system serialization failure on a file server. Upon recognition of the serialization failure, the discard module discards existing serialization data located in a first memory address space, such as a file server address space. In certain embodiments, the entire file server address space may be destroyed by the operating system. The serialization module then generates new serialization data from existing connection/position data. The connection/position data is located in a second address space, such as a client address space, that is maintained during the serialization reinitialization process. Containing and rebuilding the serialization data in this manner beneficially prevents system outages, reduces downtime, and decreases the likelihood of subsequent serialization deadlocks.
