Abstract: Several methods and corresponding apparatus reduce multiple access interference in code division multiple access communications systems (100) through successive interference cancellation techniques. An estimate of reliability of cancellation of a strongest interfering signal is formed from analysis of a pilot signal associated with the strongest signal. The estimate is used to derive a weight that is multiplied by a replica of the strongest signal to provide a weighted replica. The weighted replica is subtracted from a delayed version of the received channel. As a result, interference cancellation is robustly implemented when the strongest signal replica is most likely to be accurate and is not robustly implemented when the strongest signal replica is not likely to be accurate.; This avoids combining a replica of the strongest signal with the received channel when the replica is more likely to contribute additional interference rather than reduce it.

Abstract: A method for estimating the frequency shift of a CPFSK signal includes scanning the CPFSK signal. Intermediate signal values are determined for the scanned CPFSK signal. An estimated value (nu) is determined for the frequency shift of the CPFSK signal by assessing a predefined number of L<SUB>0 </SUB>consecutive intermediate signal values. An integer delay parameter D is specified. Intermediate signal values for intervals k.T+tau are determined in each case from scanning values of the CPFSK signal obtained for intervals k.D.T+tau and [k-1].D.T+tau, whereby T designates a scanning period of the scanned CPFSK signal, k is a scanning index and tau is a delay constant. The estimated value (nu) for the frequency shift is determined from the intermediate signal values for intervals i.D.T+tau with i=0 . . . L<SUB>0</SUB>-1. The integer delay parameter D is variable and is selected depending on the type of CPFSK modulation used for the CPFSK signal.

Abstract: An LCD monitor has an LCD panel for displaying a display video signal, and a lighting unit for illuminating the LCD panel. A personal computer, for example, supplies an input video signal and a control signal indicating that the brightness of a portion of the display video signal has to be increased. The LCD unit increases the light output of the lighting unit by a predetermined amount when the control signal indicates to do so. The system further includes an amplifier to decrease an amplitude of the video signal outside the portion when the control signal indicates to do so. In this way, it is possible to increase the brightness of the portion of the displayed picture corresponding to the portion of the video signal with respect to the rest of the displayed picture.

Abstract: In a closed-circuit steam-cooling system for the first-stage nozzle of a gas turbine, each vane has a plurality of cavities with inserts. In the second cavity (46), a main insert (80) receives cooling steam from an inner plenum (66) for impingement-cooling of the side walls of the vane, the spent cooling steam exhausting between the main insert (80) and the cavity walls into a steam outlet (24). To steam-cool a localized surface area of the vane adjacent the outer band, a secondary insert (90) receives steam under inlet conditions from a first chamber (39) of the outer band for impingement-cooling the localized surface area (86). The spent impingement-cooling steam from the secondary insert (90) combines with the spent cooling steam from the main insert (80) for flow to the outlet. Consequently, low-cycle fatigue is improved in the localized area by the impingement-cooling afforded by the secondary insert because of the cooler steam supplied, as well as the increased pressure drop driving the steam through the impingement openings of the secondary insert. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A first master transceiver (102) of a first wireless network monitors (602) neighboring wireless networks to discover a strongest interfering master transceiver in one of the neighboring wireless networks. The first master transceiver then time-aligns (604) hop intervals of the first master transceiver with the hop intervals of the strongest interfering master transceiver to ensure that a transmission of the strongest interfering master transceiver during each hop interval used by the strongest interfering master transceiver cannot interfere with the transmission of the first master transceiver during more than one hop interval of the first master transceiver, thereby minimizing the probability of self-interference between the first wireless network and the one of the neighboring wireless networks.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for carrying out plasma enhanced surface treatment of substrates in a vacuum. According to the invention, homogeneous, contamination-free layers should be produced on substrate surfaces, and the unwanted coating inside vacuum coating installations can be prevented with little effort. In addition, etching processes for processing the substrates or for the plasma-chemical cleaning of the reactor should not lead to any corrosion or to the precipitation of etching products inside the vacuum chamber. To these ends, a reaction chamber (1) is placed inside a vacuum chamber (3). The reaction chamber (1) in which the actual surface treatment is carried out is additionally surrounded by a purge chamber (2). A purge gas is fed through the purge chamber via connections and is carried away again (6, 7). The purge chamber can completely surround the reaction chamber. It is sufficient, however, if the purge chamber is placed solely on sealing surfaces of the reaction chamber.

Abstract: An air conditioning apparatus incorporates an ion generating device that generates positive and negative ions by applying an alternating-current voltage between electrodes. The generated positive and negative ions coexist in the air and, when they attach to the surfaces of airborne bacteria, they react chemically with each other and generate radical hydroxyl and hydrogen peroxide, which extract hydrogen atoms from the cells of the bacteria and thereby kill them. This sterilizing effect is combined with the temperature-conditioning, dehumidifying, humidifying, air-purifying, and other functions of the air conditioning apparatus to bring about a comfortable and healthful indoor environment.
