Abstract: A motor terminal voltage or IPM input voltage necessary to
achieve a target operating point (T*, N) is computed based on
torque command (T*) and motor revolution (N). When the
computed voltage (V) exceeds an actual battery voltage (VB), a
booster is inserted between the battery (12) and IPM (14), and
the battery voltage, after being boosted, is applied between
the direct current terminals of the IPM (14). Since the motor
terminal voltage can be made so as to not exceed the boosted
voltage even if the motor terminal voltage rises along with a
rise in revolution (N) and speed voltage (ω•E0), field
weakening control becomes unnecessary.

Abstract: A method for assigning a single frequency sub-channel to a plurality of MSs
(Mobile Stations) in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system
utilizing SDM (Spatial Division Multiplexing) with multiple transmit/receive antennas.

a straight line. The set is divided in a plurality of subsets, each subset including at least two
light emitters. Each subset comprises light emitters with substantially the same light-emission
color point, the respective subsets having color points different from each other. As a first
step, the light emitters of the subset with a smallest number of light emitters are assigned to
respective substantially equidistant positions. The light emitters of the set are assigned to the
respective positions by iteratively starting with the subset with the smallest number of light

are not yet occupied. The backlight illumination system according to the invention has a
uniform light and color distribution.

Abstract: A terrestrial digital video broadcasting (DVB-T) receiver in the form of a set-top
box transmits an electronic service guide (ESG) to a mobile terminal in the form of
a mobile telephone handset. A user can browse the ESG using the mobile
telephone handset and select content to record. The mobile telephone handset
transmits an instruction to the set-top box to record content. The set-top box
records the content. The content is transferred to the mobile telephone handset
when a personal area network connection between the set-top box and handset is
established. Different content transfer modes may be specified. Content transfer
or the timing of content transfer may be made conditional on the location of the
mobile telephone handset, the type of connection available and the amount of
content to be transferred. Content recovery may be used to help provide robust
content transfer.

Abstract: A percutaneously inserted bistable heart valve prosthesis is folded inside a catheter for transseptal delivery to the patient's heart for implantation. The heart valve has an annular ring, a body member having a plurality of legs, each leg connecting at one end to the annular ring, claws that are adjustable from a first position to a second position by application of external force so as to allow ingress of surrounding heart tissue into the claws in the second position, and leaflet membranes connected to the annular ring, the body member and/or the legs, the leaflet membranes having a first position for blocking blood flow therethrough and a second position for allowing blood flow therethrough. The heart valve is designed such that upon removal of the external force the claws elastically revert to the first position so as to grip the heart tissue positioned within the claws, thereby holding the heart valve in place. The body member and claws may be integrated into a one-piece design. The heart valve may be used as a prosthesis for the mitral valve, aortic valve, pulmonary valve, or tricuspid valve by adapting the annular ring to fit in a respective mitral, aortic, pulmonary, or tricuspid valve opening of the heart.
