Patent BR-9902728-A (BR)
Inventor: KUMAR SARATH
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1999-07-13
Abstract: Bursts of additional bandwidth (e.g., one or more supplemental channels or a channel having variable bandwidth) is assigned to users (e.g., high-speed data users) in a cellular telecommunication system. A request for assignment of additional bandwidth may be an initial request, a continuation request for an on-going burst, or a retry requests after a previously rejected request. In any case, it is determined whether to grant or reject the request. If the request is rejected, instructions are given to submit a retry request after a specified back-off time. The present invention may be implemented using either an asynchronous approach or a synchronous approach. According to the asynchronous approach, all requests are handled asynchronously. According to the synchronous approach, initial requests are handled asynchronously, but continuation requests and retry requests are handled synchronously at epoch times that coincide with specific time slots. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating turbulence in stock to deflocculate the stock in an open surface forming section of a paper making machine comprises a dewatering box (2) providing vacuum assisted drainage and which has a set of dewatering elements that impart turbulence into relatively thick stock layers carried at machine operating speeds of equal up to about 400 m/min, for the production of paper products having a basis weight generally in excess of about 160 gsm. Each set of elements includes a lead-in element (5), at least one intermediate element (6, 7), and a trailing element (8). The path of the forming fabric (13) is deflected downwardly as it passes over the intermediate elements, which are inclined at an angle of from about 0 DEG  to about 10 DEG  from a plane defined by forming fabric supporting surfaces on the lead-in and riser elements. This vertical movement initiates turbulence and agitation in the stock, which acts both to deflocculate the stock and to diminish the possibility of sheet sealing. The apparatus is useable in combination with other known formation and drainage devices which are located either upstream or downstream to augment their performance with thicker, slower moving stock layers.

Inventor: JAKOBSSON ARNE
IPC: A61F5/00
Filed: 1999-06-23
Abstract: A surgical method for reducing the food intake of a patient includes the steps of dissecting the lower part of the Esophagus, applying a band to form a loop around the Esophagus, displacing an upper part of the stomach through the loop, so as to form a small pouch above said band in connection with the Esophagus, and suturing the upper part to the stomach portion situated below the band loop, thereby tunnelating said band. A device useful in performing this method includes an elongated band having a flexible substantially non-expansible outer wall and a flexible and expansible inner wall joined to the outer wall to form an expansible closed cavity. The band has a length such that, when its ends are joined to each other, it forms a loop around the Esophagus, while permitting an upper part of the stomach to be introduced through the opening of the loop. A conduit extends between the band's cavity and an injection port. By injecting fluid through the port, the inner wall in the band loop may be inwardly expanded from adjacent to the outer wall to substantially completely obstruct the loop opening. The band further has a wider portion intended to bear against the posterior side of the Esophagus.

Title: Woven metal bracelet and its mfg. process - involves pressing pegs through weave to form holes without cutting
IPC: A44C5/00
Filed: 1971-11-19
Abstract: To manufacture a woven bracelet where the wires forming it are, in order not to form undesirable edges, uninterrupted on the holes, the bracelet's first rough shape is placed between two rigid surfaces separated by a distance 0.5 mm bigger than bracelet's thickness. The holes are then formed by separation of wires in the mesh using pointed, sharp stems which penetrate holes on the rigid surfaces. The next stage is its compression across its width, parallel to its plane. The final pressing, perpendicular to its place, is done on a punching machine.

Title: Spacer for sealed glazing unit, having lengthened thermal path
Inventor: PETERSON WALLACE HARVEY
IPC: E06B3/663
Filed: 2000-02-10
Abstract: An elongate spacer [12] used to maintain the panes of glass [14b, 14c] of a sealed glazing unit in a spaced relationship comprises sidewalls [34, 36] and upper and lower surfaces, which together define an internal space for the holding of a particulate desiccant material [62]. The upper surface contains first and second spaced sequences of elongate slits [56], arranged to create a lengthened thermal energy conductive path [82]. The slits [56] are sufficiently large to create an air gap, but small enough to prevent the particles of desiccant from passing through them. The spacer [12] may be formed in two halves [38,40], each half having a generally C-shaped cross section. The longitudinal edges of the two halves may be interleaved and have a seam which contains an insulating strip [44].

Title: High-speed maximum a posteriori (MAP ) architecture with optimised memory size and power consumption
Inventor: WORM ALEXANDER
IPC: H03M13/41
Filed: 2000-03-20
Abstract: A MAP architecture "D-RSC" also capable of decoding RSC codes has been developed (Figures 4 and 5) which although more general than "D-NSC" , is comparable with respect to area and power consumption with the "D-NSC" architecture. An optimized version of "D-RSC" , which gains decoding performance, requires less memory, but slightly increases arithmetic overhead and latency, is the "D-RSC-Opt" architecture (Figure 9). Based on an X-shaped - data-dependency graph (Figure 11), the architectures "X-RSC-Opt I" and "X-RSC-Opt II" (Figures 12, 13) exhibit minimized area and power consumption, while throughput is retained (Figure 14). For environments which are restricted regarding data delivery, the "rectangled" architectures "Rect-X-RSC-Opt I" and "Rect-X-RSC-Opt II" (Figures 16 and 17) have been derived from the "X-RSC-Opt I" and "X-RSC-Opt II" architectures, respectively. Each of these new architectures is variable by two parameters which influence latency, arithmetic overhead, and memory demand.
