Abstract: An optimum weight estimating apparatus and method of a mobile station is
provided for a mobile communication system in which a base station uses closed
transmit diversity technology. Conventionally, all weight vectors stored in a lookup
table should be applied to an optimum weight estimator to calculate receiving power,
so that the amount of calculation considerably increases when there are many
antennas. To overcome this problem, the weights of the lookup table are
appropriately adjusted so that the variation of the differences between two adjacent
vectors can be minimized. An optimum weight is obtained using the difference
vector between weight vectors, thereby simplifying the calculation of receiving
power. Therefore, the power loss of the mobile station can be minimized.

Abstract: A cache is configured to receive direct access transactions. Each direct access
transaction explicitly specifies a cache storage entry to be accessed in response to the
transaction. The cache may access the cache storage entry (bypassing the normal tag
comparisons and hit determination used for memory transactions) and either read the data
from the cache storage entry (for read transactions) or write data from the transaction to
the cache storage entry (for write transactions). The direct access transactions may, for
example, be used to perform testing of the cache memory. As another example, direct
access transactions may be used to perform a reset of the cache (by writing known data to
each cache entry). In embodiments employing error checking and correction (ECC)
mechanisms, direct access write transactions could also be used to recover from
uncorrectable ECC errors, by overwriting the failing data to eliminate the errant data. In
one embodiment, the cache may alter the state of its replacement policy in response to a
direct access transaction explicitly specifying a particular way of the cache.

6b, both having a fixed operation point (ground potential), so that even
when the reference voltage V REF  is varied stepwise, the operation points
of the circuits 6a and 6b maintain the ground potential. The above object

Abstract: Selon le procédé de l'invention, la plaquette en semiconducteur est découpée en puces avant l'amincissement. Ladite plaquette n'est découpée que sur une partie de son épaisseur, de manière à former des rainures d'une profondeur au moins égale à l'épaisseur final de chacune des puces que l'on souhaite obtenir à partir de la plaquette. Ensuite, la plaquette est disposée dans un porte-plaquette sans contact, et le dos de la plaquette est gravé par attaque à sec, notamment par attaque au plasma sous pression atmosphérique. La plaquette est amincie jusqu'à ce que les rainures apparaissent sur le dos de la plaquette. L'attaque à sec laisse le dos de la puce lisse. Après l'apparition des rainures, on poursuit l'attaque à sec de manière à éliminer tout défaut au niveau des parois latérales de la puce et à arrondir les côtés et les coins inférieurs des puces. Ainsi, on obtient une puce plus fiable, et notamment plus résistante aux contraintes thermiques ou autres.

Abstract: Microstructure materials which can be tuned to a particular range of r.f. frequencies to display particular magnetic permeabilities have been proposed. A typical material is made of an array of capacitive elements e.g. spirals or rolls of conducting material on a non-conducting substrate. These materials can be used as a guide which is effective for the particular band of frequencies to which it is tuned. In one example, the rolls ( 2 a to 2 c) guide magnetic flux along ducts ( 1, 2, 3 ) while rolls ( 4 a, 5 a) guide magnetic flux along ducts ( 4, 5 ). Flux can thus be guided upwardly along duct ( 2 ), along ducts ( 4 and 5 ), and down ducts ( 1, 3 ), or vice versa.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the development of a dual promoter system (preferably a RNA pol I -pol II system) for the efficient intracellular synthesis of viral RNA. The resultant minimal plasmid-based system may be used to synthesize any RNA virus, preferably viruses with a negative single stranded RNA genome. The viral product of the system is produced when the plasmids of the system are introduced into a suitable host cell. One application of the system is production of attenuated, reassortant influenza viruses for use as antigens in vaccines. The reassortant viruses generated by cotransfection of plasmids may comprise genes encoding the surface glycoproteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase from an influenza virus currently infecting the population and the internal genes from an attenuated influenza virus. An advantageous property of the present invention is its versatility; the system may be quickly and easily adapted to synthesize an attenuated version of any RNA virus. Attenuated or inactivated RNA viruses produced by the present invention may be administered to a patient in need of vaccination by any of several routes including intranasally or intramuscularly.
