Title: Method and apparatus for de-icing a screen
Inventor: BURBRIDGE COLIN
IPC: B60S1/02
Filed: 2012-04-25
Abstract: To de-ice a screen 24 which is mounted to a support 16 by an elastomeric seal 22, the screen is vibrated relative to the support. Deformation of the seal causes internal friction in the seal 22, generating heat which is conducted to the screen. The method is particularly applicable to small screens having a high ratio of screen perimeter to surface area, e.g. a screen for a camera for a lane departure warning system on a vehicle. The actuator may be an ultrasonic actuator. The actuator may be activated manually or automatically through an obscuration sensor, temperature sensor, HRW switch, or front or rear wiper switch. The screen may be surrounded by a frame, and may be mounted in a tailgate, bumper, or other panel, particularly at the rear of the vehicle. The seal material may be doped to increase heat generation and/or conduction.

Title: Wireless reception with combination ratio calculation
Inventor: FUTATSUGI YASUNORI
IPC: H04B1/7105
Filed: 2013-02-07
Abstract: A wireless receiver device (101) demodulates single-carrier signals, transforms the received signals in time-domain into frequency-domain (101-1,2), calculates a combination ratio by referring to a ratio of an interference power and a noise power (105), and uses an equalisation weight calculator means (106) for generating an equalisation weight by combining a noise-plus-interference power identity matrix (103) and an interference correlation matrix (104) in accordance with the combination ratio. The noise and interference powers may be obtained from a power spectrum density of the received signals. The power identity matrix is claculated using channel estimates (102). In another embodiment, the ratio is calculated using an iterative optimisation technique instead of using the noise and interference power (fig.4, not shown).

Title: Methods and systems for estimating network performance
Inventor: SUNG PATRICK HO WAI
IPC: H04W24/06
Filed: 2013-10-16
Abstract: A method carried out by a first node for estimating network performance by selecting at least one network interface of the first node and at least one network interface of a second node and then transmitting reference packets to the second node. The reference packets are transmitted through the selected network interfaces of the first node to the selected network interfaces of the second node. After receiving the reference packets, the second node generates arrival information and sends the arrival information to the first node. The first utilizes the arrival information for estimating the network performance. The network interfaces are selected according to a policy and end-to-end connection(s) may be established between selected network interfaces of the first node and selected network interfaces of the second node. The end-to-end connection(s) may be aggregated to form an aggregated end-to-end connection. Alternatively, the network interfaces are selected according to an end-to-end connection profile or an aggregated end-to-end connection profile.

Title: Method and apparatus for generating a multi-level Pseudo-Random Test
Inventor: KOSSEL MARCEL A
IPC: H04W24/06
Filed: 2014-09-24
Abstract: A multi-level pattern for testing e.g. an input output circuit is generated from a pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS). A non-return to zero (NRZ) PRBS signal TP is generated by a PRBS generator 21 and provided to a bit detector 22 to create two trigger outputs T1, T2. The trigger outputs control first and second state machines 23, 24 each producing an output O1, O2 consisting of a pseudo-random voltage. One state machine produces negative voltages and the other state machine produces positive voltages. The outputs are combined in a combiner 27 to give a multi-level output CO which is provided to a transmission channel 3. The multi-level output is therefore created from the PRBS by mapping bits from the binary signal onto symbols of the multi-level output (see figure 2).
